The 12" Surface pro doesn’t even come with a power supply. Even Apple still includes one with the iPad.

Also memory per core is an interesting way to allocate that. Total? Absolutely. Per node? Yeah. But per CPU?

Sure, but being good out of the box is very important for normal users. Power users love the crazy customization. Normal people don’t really care.

Shouldn’t the sims 4 be considered free to play? The base game is free, only the dlc is paid.

This is revenue. How many people are buying those games now? Older games are also usually heavily discounted so that’s even less money. And if the game was bought second hand then it’s entirely irrelevant.

Half the time it’s not even doing anything. Minimal CPU and disk usage. They want update to be a background thing, but sometimes I just want it to hurry up and be over with.

MS must be listening to me. I just did todays update and it had my CPUs E cores pegged at 100% usage for a few minutes installing updates.

The early days of windows 10 was rough. Every major update they just reinstalled the OS.

Buuut it meant that you could install the latest version, and at worst only have a few more updates before you’re fully updated. Vs like 7 you’d install SP1, then spend 3 hours installing subsequent updates and rebooting.

That said sometimes windows like purposefully throttles installing updates and I just want a button that says “install as fast as fucking possible”. I know it slows down on battery, but plugged in please just go as fast as you possibly can.

The models that the commercial AIs use are not at all usable on consumer grade hardware. The RTX pro 6000 has 96 gigs of vram, your GPU probably had 8.

I’ve played with the models that run on 16 gigs and it’s alright. But I wouldn’t even try fully vibe coding. Need some help with something small? Sure. But I wouldn’t have it try to make a finished product.

What whack ass setup so you think OP has? Dual 5090s? They’re running it on an i7.
