You don’t have to run linux to watch a video about linux.

720p is fine, but I’d prefer 1080p most of the time.
It mostly just comes down to bitrate. A 4k video at 1Mbps is probably gonna look like shit. My drone and my go pro shoot 4k footage at 60Mbps h265 and that looks amazing. But if I’m acquiring a fuck ton of movies I’m not gonna download that shit at that bitrate. As long as the video is like 1080p and 5Mbps or higher I’m happy. If the file size is >6 gigs for a movie I ain’t downloading that shit even if I can, and that’s with a 1gb symmetrical internet connection and a 30TB NAS.
The docks will work with anything that has Thunderbolt 3/4. It’s only the power switch that won’t work, and you can’t do the breaking USB spec of charging over 100 watts @20v. The downside is those OEM docks tend to be Thunderbolt only, and if you connect it to a USB only device it will either not work at all, or have SEVERELY limited functions.
Is yours a dock dock or just a big hub? I don’t really have much experience with the dock docks, but I know the overgrown hubs we use at work love to burn out the HDMI converter chips, but usually work well enough besides that.
FYI OEM docks are CHEAP used once they’ve been out for a few years. And no you can’t mix docks from other OEMs and have the power button work since there’s no standard for it.
I’ve found aftermarket ones to be super unreliable though, especially if you use HDMI and power from the dock.
Whatever makes RTX work is what accelerations a lot of AI tasks. I’d argue the 1080 is bordering on irrelevant if it wasn’t for the 8 gigs of ram to save it. The 2060 should be much faster despite for gaming being about in par.
Windows 7 lacked USB 3 drivers, and if you have a bleeding edge system windows might not have the chipset drivers which is like half of your system. (EX windows 10/11 lacked 11th Gen. chipset drivers until 22H2)
Outside of that I’ve never had the basics work. Especially a mouse and keyboard.
Every time I see him I can’t believe Tek Syndicate is still around.
can run in a VM, and can run well in a VM are two very different things.
Linux already has bad audio latency without tweaking, running a VM with Windows latency on top of that? Yeah no thanks.
Microsoft Remote Desktop requires Winodws * pro, but Windows File Sharing doesn’t.
Nvidia or Intel GPU?
So if you’d picked differently when you started out you’d be fine with it?
Vertical integration doesn’t mean that other devices can’t play nicely with Apple devices or vise versa. The only reason they don’t is because Apple wants to be dicks.
It’s more that I dislike everything else more for the most part.
How does the vGPU compare to running it on the bare metal? Last I tried things were painful but technically usable.
You have to specifically request that siri uses chat GPT for a request.
You can buy .xyz domains from places other than gen.xyz. I have mine from namecheap and I haven’t had any issues in like 10 years with them.
I think it’s changed recently. Even if you have icloud messaging on you used to have to explicitly turn it on per device. But I recently got a new iPad and when I went to check that setting it was already on.
Also some GPUs support running without the external power connectors/not all of them. My old GTX 1080 ran for about 3 months off of just the PCIe slots power because I forgot to plug them in. Newer GPUs are FAR more power hungry though and not all newer cards support that. Plus I’ve never tried yoinking the power cables while it’s on. That can’t be good.
If you’re a big enough organization (like the US government) you can pay anyone you want (or even your own people) to audit Microsoft’s code.
General Motors accidentally made a good car so that’s why they had to kill it.
