  They do… 1/3rd of it is used that way.

  Yeah windows standby sucks. On platforms where the equivalent of s0 doesn’t suck, it’s awesome.

  Don’t you? Instant wake is hella useful, especially if you are using a laptop as a laptop and moving between meeting rooms etc, constantly bumping between sleep and wake.

  They note towards the bottom they’ve also developed a sustainable resin in place of PVA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there capture cards with such low latency you can use them to game through a computer?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really… just a slightly higher end of gear, most of dells professional series will do it from memory, the gigabyte on my desk does it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there capture cards with such low latency you can use them to game through a computer?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah… tend to agree - it’s doable but OP would be reaching for some fairly hectic gear to solve a pretty small problem. Consumer monitors with PIP definitely exist and would be cheaper.

  If all you’re looking to do is nicer input switching, a KVM switch would be a better solve.

  Capture cards would be more useful if you wanted to record the gaming sessions. AFAIK they will always introduce latency as they are usually designed for a situation where that is fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major airline faces backlash after using ‘ghost flights’ to exploit a legal loophole: ‘They weren’t even selling tickets’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a bit of a scandal in aus at the moment about this. Qatar asked for more international flights (they back Virgin Australia, one of 2 major domestic carriers in Australia). Government said no, for undisclosed reasons.

  The “national” carrier Qantas are scumbags with the government in their pocket and likely quietly lobbied against it, but also Qatar International Airport did this to Australian citizens not that long ago:

  So it’s just kind of dickheads all the way down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where the hell does wind begin??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s easier to think about it in terms of where is the wind going.

  Air moves into adjacent regions that have lower pressure. It begins everywhere but is moving towards these areas of lower pressure.
