Had to move out of my apartment. :( But I found a really nice 4 bedroom house share, I got the smallest bedroom but it's cheap and very nice inside.

 

Is that an ACER netbook or regular laptop? If it is a netbook what resolution does the screen have?

It's an 11.6" Acer netbook, screen resolution is 1366x768. Impulse buy but had a really good spec for the price.

Those LG Monitors are really nice, My mate has one at his office attached to a Zoomstorm PC running Ubuntu and its amazing quality.

 

If you're referring to mine, they are indeed. I paid ?120 each for them, 24" IPS @ 1080. For the price I really really cannot fault them, they even have a sharper more contrasting image for my Hazro. I'd certainly say there's competition between these and higher priced models, I'm considering replacing the Hazro with a 3rd LG.

I'd hold on and wait for the 27" LG IPS that supposedly should be on UK shelves soon (guessing you're UK based on the ?) would be a nice center piece to complement the two surrounding panels.

^ Are you one of those people who either loves apple/windows but cannot bring yourself to go fully apple/windows? haha

 

I love both very much however you are right though I could never go fully windows or just apple lol.

 

He is not only one....  My brother has 27" iMac and Windows laptop. Depends on what he is using for.

You are 100% correct, I use both for what I do for a living.(full time internet marketer.)

I mainly use the mac for photoshop task and web browsing and the PC is mainly used because of software that will only work on windows that I need to be successful in my industry.

Wire management! Geez...

Sad thing is the poor wire management is doing more to increase the temps than most other things. With better wire management he should be able to cut down on the number of fans and still get the same cooling performance out of his setup.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By seacaptain · Posted

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
