- Comment on Petition Calls on Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support | PCMag 1 year ago:
I installed 11 the other day on a 6th gen intel with the official installer on a USB, I only tried because I already had it from another computer - YMMV, but it didn't check any requirements for me.
- Comment on Nokia to cut as many as 14,000 jobs as profit drops by 69% 1 year ago:
HMD Global is a Finnish company, run by ex-Nokia executives. It's pretty nuch the old Nokia, seperated enough to not bankrupt the original company if it goes bad.
The phones are no more Chinese than Google and Apple.
- Comment on CGNAT blocking external access to NAS. Looking to address this plus more. 1 year ago:
Same here, for my ISP it's no extra charge, they just ask you why you're opting out
- Comment on Just Stop Oil protestors interrupt UK’s biggest games event EGX 1 year ago:
This group also targeted a Formula Electric Grand Prix, which seems counter productive...
- Comment on 3D-printed carrot does not rely on large areas of land or maintenance costs, can be cheaper 1 year ago:
The research is from Qatar, I imagine it's a lot harder to grow enough carrots in sandy deserts and bedrock
- Comment on War Thunder user leaks restricted military documents for AH-64D Apache Longbow 1 year ago:
Fundamental part of the internet, the quickest way to get the right answer is to post the wrong answer. Military nerds have a habit of being involved in militaries.

Unfortunately you can't easily patch the fleshy thing operating the system

- Comment on Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC' 1 year ago:
Completed some testing on my end, using intels PresentMon and sitting at 35fps average in New Atlantis my GPU busy is pegged at about 99% of the frame time, so nothing really.
I do get a bit of a CPU limitation when it's raining, but nothing significant, dropped to about 30fps.
Trying at 1440p with the same settings as the 3090 above got me around 50fps, 1440p is almost half the pixels of 80% of 4k as well, so that's not helping my GPU much!
- Comment on Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC' 1 year ago:
I've got an 8086K and 3080, running on a 4K screen - with Ultra settings and FSR of 80% I'm getting 35-40fps, which honestly doesn't feel too bad. It's noticable sometimes but it's a lot smoother than the numbers suggest.
Because my CPU is a little long in the tooth, I've gone probably a bit hard on the visuals, but my framerate didn't improve much by lowering it. The engine itself has never really liked going past 60fps, so I don't know why people expected to be able to run 100+ frames at 4k or something.
- Comment on Opinion: Why it’s time to raise the speed limit in Australia to 130km/h 1 year ago:
I've long held the view the major highways should be set to 140, aimed at reducing fatigue. Someone will drive Melbourne to Sydney in a day anyway, and two hours less travel time will help make them safer when they get there.
- Comment on Opinion: Why it’s time to raise the speed limit in Australia to 130km/h 1 year ago:
For learners required to log hours this is also true in Vic and NSW, but there is an age cut off (21 and 25) for this requirement.
- Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why? 1 year ago:
We have Covenants at least in Victoria - https://www.planning.vic.gov.au/guides-and-resources/guides/all-guides/restrictive-covenants
Honestly, they're kinda stupid and should have a mandatory end or review date, mine has stupid clauses like you can't park a commerical vehicle within visibility of the street and restricts the material used for fencing etc
