I'm actually a Technology Designer, I have multiple different roles ranging from shaping and molding the direction of a companies deployment of Apple products down to some Research & Development work. As with most things Apple, I'm a little secretive with my exact job responsibilities as it allows me a bit of mystery! ;) Needless to say I do get to play with some things that don't exist outside of the reality distortion field right now (hence the shut down screen on the left) and can say without a doubt that I love my job! :)

Here is my work workstation, a long story short I ended up giving up my 30-inch Cinema to a designer who needed it a bit more than me, in it's place I was provided a brand new (took it out of the box today) Dell 24-inch.

Pardon the grainy low light, was taken with my iPhone and it's much darker in there than it looks.

Nice..the Air seems to look like that of Austin ;)

My nearly 2 week old iMac :) Not much else on the desk - some Sennheiser wireless headphones I use when I want to walk around the flat and listen to tunes, and some nicer quality BeyerDynamic headphones for when i'm actually at the desk. Also a Seagate 320GB HDD which I use as my drive for Time Machine :)

Sorry for the crap picture. I really must get a digital camera sorted out - my phone just doesn't cut it!

I didn't clean up as I wanted the world to see that not everything is perfect :). I clean up about once a week but I tought I'd break the mold here and show the "end-of-the-week" result.

This is my workstation for business, development and some gaming. The left side is for hobby projects.

(And yes that thermostat is reading 27.6C .. aircon is off, too much noise. Again sorry for bad quality .. this was taken with my Touch Dual)

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If only Windows would have a toggle switch named "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible.

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
