Don't worry. Thats fine. Unless your rendering or doing something with photoshop or developement, or of course games, I've learned faster doens't really give you much. Noticed the most speed increase from my Raptor RAID array, but from my wifes 1.3 to my 3, I really don't notice a difference. Maybe a bit more perky, but thats all. Like I said, I give up trying to stay current. WAAAY to expensive.

Here is a quick panorama I did to test out PTgui (stitching is a bit messed up and it's low quality because I used a Hi8 Camcorder!). It's one side of my office where the best bits are:

nice setup pablo, I wish I could have room and a desk like yours :D

Thx, I work from home so it's easy to justify although the wife remains skeptical. She thinks of it more as a perfectly good guest room that's going to waste...a garage or loft conversion is next - that'll be good though, reduce the cable management issues with lots of power outlets and network ports in the walls and maybe even a rack!

Yeah it is a little cramped - can usually get away with just using the workstation with Terminal Services/VNC to the servers and the laptops stack nicely! For multiplayer gaming though it's a case of clearing away unused keyboards!

Depending on what happens next - new doom3station (ahem Workstation!), garage conversion or other, I'll probably need to invest in a KVM switch to just be able to fit things in.

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
