  • The APC has serious drawbacks besides the costs when used as a daily driver. I haven’t noticed any drawbacks with my GPU, and if I had the money I would have bought a faster one.

    I do wish however that AMD and Intel would compete in the high end, because I am not an Nvidia fanboy. Real competition would result in lower prices and maybe also better products.

    We are in a similar situation with GPUs now compared to where we were with CPUs before Ryzen came out. Everything above a quad core on Intels side was so expensive back then and real progress was not happening.










  • Here in Germany studded tires are outlawed almost everywhere and its a good thing.

    Where I live we usually only have one or two weeks each year where we have any snow or ice on the road and it usually gets cleared very quickly.

    The amount of noise and road damage created by studded tires would far outweigh their usefulness for those 1 or 2 days where the snow hasnt been cleared everywhere yet.

    I might get some studded bike tires this winter (those are legal) as roads are sadly cleared much quicker than the sidewalks and sliding a little bit with a car is not as bad as falling over on a bike.

    It also isnt as loud as studded car tires and doesnt damage the road as much as studded car tires.

    I do know how to read an analog clock, but I dont read it subconciously, because my brain works on digital time, so I will have to look at it and then figure out what that time is if it were on a digital clock.

    So if I see an analog clock I would rather look at my phone because that is just quicker than doing the conversion.

    If you want to know more, look at the video Technology Connections (2?) did about it.
