Kafka for small message volumes is one of those distinct resume-padding architectural vibes.
How are we defining small message volumes?

That's sad. Dishonored 2 is one of the greatest games of all time and there's truly nothing like that on the market anymore.
Fedora Silverblue has been rock solid for my parents. Just a an amazing idea to have immutable os builds when upgrading.

HDMI 2.1 is useless already, how many monitors halve the bandwidth of their 2.1 connector? Standards need enforcing, none of this fake HDMI 2.x bullshit.

Not buying anything Lenovo made ever again. T14 G1 was the worst computer I've ever had the displeasure of using. Extremely spotty USB C connection, throttling to 0.2 Ghz for no reason with no fix, and just terribly slow all around. Shame since I loved the T450s dearly.

Why is this site so unbearably political now? Some of these takes are almost as bad as the stuff you find on the front page of Reddit...

So, they went from not updating in forever, to finally updating it in some meaningful ways a couple years ago, to adding crap that no one wants pretty much right away. Too much, MS. Shoulda quit while you were ahead with tabs.
They already went too far with the UWP transition. Now the app takes forever to launch, compared to the old version.
eBombzor commented on AMD outsells Intel in the datacenter space tomshardware.com/pc-compo... · Posted by u/baal80spam
Intel has come back recently with a new series of "Lunar Lake" CPUs for laptops. They are actually very good. For now, Intel has regained the crown for Windows laptops.
Maybe Pat has lit the much needed fire under them.
LNL is a great paper launch but I have yet to see a reasonably priced LNL laptop so far. Nowadays I can find 16GB Airs and X Elite laptops for 700-900 bucks, and once you get into 1400 territory just pay a bit more for M4 MBPs which are far superior machines.
And also, they compete in the same price bracket as Zen 5, which are more performant with not that much worse battery life.
LNL is too little too late.
