I work in an industry that doesn’t sleep, that doesn’t mean I’m putting in more than 40 hours a week on a regular basis. But we need someone to be on-call over the weekends in case there is an emergency. And when I do, my boss lets us take additional time off later in the week to make up for it. You guys are making crazy assumptions based off nothing.
That works great if you have the space to do so. I live in a very small home by myself and I really don’t have that kind of space around.
Its not a uniquely “me” problem, I’ve talked to plenty of other people who feel the same way as I do. I’m not talking about putting in extra time when I’m not supposed to be at work. I’m just talking about how it “feels” to constantly by in your workplace like that. I personally think it kinda sucks. I’m sure other people can deal with it fine, but I live in a small house where I don’t really have a separate room like a basement office or something I can dedicate to being my workspace. I might feel differently about it if I had the space.
Also, I work in an industry that requires 24/7 coverage, we keep the Internet service running for hundreds of thousands of customers and businesses. I very very rarely put in more than 40 hours a week, but there are times where I need to be on call over the weekend in case there is an emergency. And when I do, I take time off later in the week to make up for it.
Benchmarks are readily available, I have a 5080. Some DX11 and older games do run slightly better on Linux. But a lot of them don’t. And pretty much 100% across the board DX12 games run 10-30% slower on Linux compared to Windows. Nvidia has even acknowledged the issue and claims to be working on a solution.
I liked working from home at first, but after so long it becomes harder and harder to leave your work at “work” when your workplace is also your home. Now I am back in the office and actually prefer it that way. I have the flexibility to work from home on weekends or when I need to be home for some reason, which is good enough for me.
I know I am a display tech nerd, but can people really not tell the difference? Even going from a 1440p to a 4k monitor to me was a very noticeable improvement to clarity. And there’s a huge difference in the way that games look on my living room TV in 1080p compared to 4k.
Kinda like kraft dinner with minced meat. It’s pretty good.
I get the point but damn I love Hamburger Helper.
Trust me, if your employer wants to know if you’ve been coming into the office or not, they can easily find out without needing Microsoft Teams to tell them about it. They can see what IP address your machine is connecting from. And if you work in a building with secure access they could also just pull your badge-in history to find out if you’re actually there or not.
I know it’s not terrible, but there is a performance disparity there that you can’t ignore. If someone is spending $1000+ on a high end GPU I think it is fair for them to expect a level of performance that’s a little better than “fine”.
Yes, I think it would upset quite a few people. A lot of great men and women have worked and lived within its walls. It’s a pretty meaningful symbol to Americans.
Yeah I understand that things have improved a lot. But it’s the 10-30% performance hit in DX12 games that keeps me from wanting to dive into Linux as my primary OS on my gaming machine. If they can get that closer to parity with Windows, I’m all-in on Linux for life.
Nothing really wrong with them if they offer the performance and features you want. But I am a high end user and I also use some software that’s really reliant on CUDA. So they’re not really winning in either the performance or the features department for my personal use.
Still waiting for nvidia to pull their heads out of their asses and fix gaming performance on their GPUs under Linux before I make the jump myself. And no, I don’t want an AMD GPU.
Nope I was replying to your comment?
I would like to take this opportunity to remind people that Trump got less than 50% of the popular vote, more than half the country wants nothing to do with him. The GOP has been playing the gerrymandering game to great effect to the degree that their candidates can lose the popular vote but still win the election.
I think you’re a little mixed up. It is currently illegal for a regular pot smoker to own guns. The supreme court is looking at potentially getting rid of that restriction. So if they did, I think it would actually reenforce your friend’s love of Trump.
Believe it or not but we’ve come full-circle on cargo pants and they are once again considered to be fashionable with young people and the streetwear crowd.
Uniqlo cargo joggers are my jam but I don’t seem them listed on their website currently, might be a seasonal thing. Their regular cargo pants are fine too, but a little bit on the baggy side. I just really like their pants in general, honestly.
I’m just pointing out that not everyone thrives in a WFH environment and I think it shouldn’t be a controversial take to admit that.
