I’m already using a mobile workstation type thing with 1h battery at most. That’s the unfortunate reality of mobile CGI / CAD work. I’d still be interested, as I have no alternatives.

I’ll be interested to see the performance of mobile RTX 50 series GPUs. The 30 series nearly had parity with the desktop counterparts (mobile 3070ti nearly matched desktop 3070). With the 40 series it was more like 4090 mobile == 4080 desktop. No doubt due to impossible power envelopes.

The power brick I have to carry for my laptop with a 3070ti is already bonkers. Not to speak of the fan noise.

How is that any different from what you can do with Steamlink, Meta Quest Link, Bigscreen, Virtual Desktop or (sort of) ALVR?

Be interesting to see just how much these are basically AI accelerators in disguise, which accidentally do gaming too.

Expecting a 5090 that’s even more expensive than the 4090 and still sold out for 6 months.

As a laptop user it would be nice to go from 8GB vram in my 3070ti to something like 16gb, but I wonder what insane power requirements even the mobile parts will have.

+1 for Bitwarden. Seamless experience so far. EBay hasn’t yet worked properly, but GitHub does for sure. It’s very convenient, especially if your browser doesn’t store cookies

It seems like it would be a self fulfilling prophecy, you are right.

At the same time, having lived in London for 10 years... This is from today: https://red.artemislena.eu/r/london/comments/1fprfcy/i_cant_even_take_the_bus_in_peace_due_to_sexual/

The argument that more people taking public transport would somehow fix this makes no sense in a place like London. It’s a gigantic city with public transport permanently bursting at the seams.

A bus through a dodgy area at midnight won’t feel safe unless it’s policed somehow. I don’t know where the resources for that could possibly come from.

Public transport in London was probably the worst. Case in point: https://red.artemislena.eu/r/london/comments/1fprfcy/i_cant_even_take_the_bus_in_peace_due_to_sexual/

In my experience (lived in four countries, ~30 cities / towns), public transport just feels unsafe. It’s always a choice between crazies shouting, groups of teenagers playfighting and blasting their mobile phones on full volume or just the good old rapey stare from strangers. I’d rather not be exposed to all the worst elements of society at close quarters in a metal tube I can’t escape from.

I’m with you on this one, not sure why you’re being downvoted. Until public transport is safe, which it has never been in my experience (as a lifelong public transport user in many countries), I’ll walk or cycle. Or, well, now I live rurally so there’s no public transport, and I’m reluctantly driving everywhere.

Rural UK here. Tiny country in comparison to the US. Our village has no mobile signal. Our landline internet maxes out at 1mbit up and 10mbit down. We are 3miles from a town with 15k people. Why is there no infrastructure? I’m completely dependent on Starlink.

I couldn't agree more. Living in the UK I can tell you this is a dangerous opinion to hold. To me, their music is like nails on a chalk board. I cannot stand their music. I could never quite explain why. I've always just put it down to taste. But it's annoying to have to deal with just how much EVERYONE loves them for some reason. Like, there isn't much music I'd hate to hear more than Queen. I almost find it weird that this is the case. I sort of wish I liked them, so that there weren't so many occasions where I have to listen to music that I find shockingly bad.
