You don’t have to play the multiplayer? The games already made it’s not like they would skimp the single-player to focus on the multi-player mode.
My experience is the opposite. The hours 3-6 feel more dangerous to me because many drivers are in a rush and very uncourteous. At night there are just way less cars on the road and in general they are much more courteous. However I generally don’t ride light enough for them to suffer from very bad sleep deprivation.
I carry a bag of salt to pour around me at stop lights
Well my light is angled downwards hopefully it’s not a problem. But I’m not sure if it’s actually brighter than modern car lights.
Actually I got it on Aliexpress (link). There might be better priced options but I got this one because it comes with an adaptor for GoPro mounts so I could mount it under my bike computer. It’s otherwise much too heavy and large to mount on handlebars.
Feels safer than day riding too with a 2000LM light.
Honestly just need to find one that fits YOU and is safe.
I got a Bontrager Spectre Wavecell because it felt the best on my head from all the helmets I tried and the tech is safe (MIPS is also very good).
I wear it from -15°C to +30°C and it’s good for me. The helmet is not the problem outside this range, it’s just generally too hot/cold, it isn’t the top of my head that gets way too hot/cold. As long as you don’t get an aero helmet I think you won’t have any temperature problems.
Except this time the DLC scales so being late/post game doesn’t even save you
However, this decline seems to be due to the previous fiscal period being exceptionally good for FromSoftware, as it started shortly after the release of the company’s global hit Elden Ring
Kind of a nothing-burger.
Everyone’s hating but honestly fair enough move.
On the whole, nobody uses Bing or takes it seriously anyways and so I guess they have to find their niche. It’s certainly not aimed at us (Lemmy/Fediverse users) who are generally more privacy conscious. If it can attract some mainstream users (e.g., Google users, people like your parents, etc) or stop some users from immediately switching their search engine to Google, then it might be a good decision for them.
Bing providing the exact same service as Google but worse clearly wasn’t working for them.
Certainly not limited to IT. One of my professors from many years was an aerospace engineer1. He recounts to us the time that he busted his ass on some design for a long time and managed to make some huge cost savings. And then after it was done he realized that all he really did with his extra hard work was help some executives and stockholders get a bit richer. Not long after that he switched to education.

Ok then. I’ll echo what some others are saying about 16GB being sufficient. If you were in engineering every now and then it’s not enough but I don’t think its the case for comp sci. I’d leave the door open and get one in which you can upgrade the RAM though.
One thing to look out for is CPU performance. I find the laptop CPU market is a disaster right now in which you really don’t know what you’ll get. LTT has a recent video on the topic. For most courses it won’t actually matter that much. Some examples of the ones where it could make a difference are numerical linear algebra courses, machine learning (classical, not neural networks), and computer vision (again, classical). In some of these extra RAM might also be helpful but I’d prioritize a better CPU over the RAM. You may look at CPU benchmarks to get an idea of their performance.
In terms of GPU… I don’t think you’ll get anything capable enough for training neural networks at this price point, which is the only thing you may need it for in comp sci. But it’ll help with light gaming (but I imagine integrated graphics is good enough for minecraft these days—but dont quote me on that).
Also lastly, I would still recommend finding something with decent Linux support even if you dont want to use it (yet), you may choose to install it down the line. My Dell XPS/Precision has pretty poor linux support with buggy trackpad issues which has caused issues for me in the past. Many comp sci students end up switching to Linux/dual booting for a good reason.
I expect to be able to code in it
What kind of student? Computer science? Engineering?
I agree very disappointing. I find it increasingly difficult since Twitter closed its doors to those signed in as my account is long deleted.
Nice news. Money only starts flowing in 2 years though and then it takes many many years for stuff to get built on top of that. Wish we could pick the pace up on these issues.
Great read. Even in STEM research as a grad student I’m very tired of every saying “let’s try machine learning on this problem” to get something that works marginally better than some conventional models but requiring huge amounts of computation and data.
Cool that average FPS is better but:
The impressive FPS deltas aside, it should be mentioned that, with the exception of Arch Linux, average frame times (measured as 1% lows, in this case) on Linux were generally behind what Windows managed by up to 20%
I feel like worse 1% lows makes this title misleading. Hopefully with time this gap will close.
I’d be surprised if anybody prefers it. But in any case, I’ve had decent experience with iMovie. Certainly not full featured, but you’d want to be on a desktop for that.
Finally. Hopefully removed from Civ V as well.
