Re: Bits and PCs - a Computers and Tech Miscellany
If you don’t care about superman or video games, you should still watch a bit of this footage of the Matrix City Unreal Engine 5 demo. It was released on PC and a single game dev decided to make a super-man flight sim (being one person is both why super-man isn’t polished and there’s no complex interactions).
More importantly, once it takes a bit of time to load everything in, this is all being rendered in real time, and while the city does have assorted oddities and you can’t take a wander through every building, this is just the start of what I think will change things like movies and TV along with gaming.

Musk is looking to back out of his attempt to overshadow Tesla losses and a sexual assault allegation, due to twitter not providing details as to how they count bot accounts.
No word if Twitter will sweeten the deal by offering Musk a horse.
Re: Bits and PCs - a Computers and Tech Miscellany
I gave up and started using my actual work laptop for work-from-home.
It's not a bad thing. I had been using my Mac, but remote desktop is currently broken on the Mac, and I can't get Mac->PC remote desktop to use all my screens. That and the keyboard confusion sometimes gets to me - some common PC key combinations (like control-left/right arrow) don't get sent to the PC desktop. Using a PC keyboard on the Mac reduces some of the issues but not all.
So, I reassigned my keyboard and mouse to the work laptop. The laptop screen's not as nice as the Mac, but it's fine, and I can use both screens without issue.
Two of the UK’s leading hospitals have had to cancel operations, postpone appointments and divert seriously ill patients to other centres for the past three weeks after their computers crashed at the height of last month’s heatwave.
It's the climate ... but it's also public IT systems in Britain ... and probably a decade of underinvestment.

Core IT systems had been restored by the end of last week but work was still going on to recover data and reboot other systems. “The complexity of our current IT systems has made them difficult to recover,” said a spokesman for the trust.
The NHS is notorious for complex and poorly delivered IT systems.

Back in my Windows days I used some free German antivirus for years and years that was great... was it Avira? I can't even remember, tbh, and it seems Avira has a cost now.
