I’ve recently had to purchase a support brace for my home PC, and I felt the need to share the absurdity of this. The GPU is so heavy that it is sagging out of the socket.
First, let me clarify that my GPU is not high-end; it is considered medium-end. So, this isn’t even the cutting edge of GPU technology, the higher-end models are even bigger and heavier.
A team of engineers at Nvidia and AMD, working at the pinnacle of their fields, have signed off on a design that bends under its own weight. The socket that a GPU fits into is a standard and hasn’t changed in many years; it’s not a new innovation. Engineers! It’s absolute madness.
My wife, Joelle, has been creating beautiful jewellery over at Serenity Sea Glass for nearly a year now. Her pieces are already featured in three local shops. Be sure to check it out!
I recently appeared on the main BBC Website after having a phone call interview about four-day weeks. It was a surprise to us (at Cortex) that it was the proper BBC and not just BBC Guernsey.
Unfortunately, the quote was somewhat negative. I was actually more positive about it.
I enjoy playing video games and I’ve been finding it frustrating to find decent ones with play with my kids.
As an example you’d think the £29.99 Nintendo Switch Peppa Pig game would be fairly good. It is not.
There is very little gameplay, the controls are unclear (don’t visually match the controller) and the loading times are insane (10 seconds+ per scene)
for a 2D game with little happening, my youngest has time to ask me why its not playing at least 10 times before it actually does anything.
The cheap Peppa Pig Chicken game is much better on tablets…
So I have decided to begin maintaining a list of games that my kids have enjoyed playing or watching me play. I’ll update this list over time. The list is
here.
Unfortunately, I have not really found anything for five and under. There are various games based off of the
things they’d typically watch (Paw Patrol) but they are fairly low effort and expensive.
The only one to stick so far is Mario Kart with all the assists turned on.
Not to turn this into a medical blog but figured it might be of interest to see what a 24hr ECG looks like. You rock up at hospital, usually early for an 24hr one.
