Oh hey the keyboard I got a literal few days ago(the big one with the numpad).
 
I'm loving it. Pricy but now that I've used it a few days I couldn't go back. Really loving it.

This is on a recent laptop, came with Win11 pre-installed.
 
I would expect there to be a checkbox that says "Always use this app" and that changes the default app for the file type.
 
For instance, like this:
 

 
SEO seems to have messed things up, googling for this only gets me links about getting back Windows' default apps if they are gone.
 
Anyone know of this behavior and how to restore the old behavior?
 

Summary
Desktop GPU sales hit 20 year low, shipped 42 percent fewer than last year.

My thoughts
Linking this to the increased prices... this feels really bad. It makes it feel as if the price increase was done not just because of cost, but they noticed they'd get less sales and so they upped the price in order to get more income, rather than just accept the reality of the market situation.
 
We've been hearing for months now that prices are high because of crypto miners. So, supply and demand, demand goes up while supply stays same -> prices go up.
 
But now it becomes public that the amount of units purchases has fallen. Which means less of the supply has been bought up. Which means demand wasn't actually as high as we were made to believe. And thus, the justification of the high prices was bullshit all along.
 
Companies selling less make less profits. If demand drops, units sold drop, and amount of income for the company drops. It sounds to me like they artificially claimed that demand was high, as to justify raising prices and thus keep their expected income somewhat stable, in face of the lowering demand.
 
Is that incorrect?

Yeah, people are starting to compile all the time he used his position of power to try and get anything negative about him or his products removed from the internet:
 

It comes down to this. If you want something easy on the eyeballs then E-Ink, and your probably not going to find an Android tablet with that type of display and the display is not really good for anything but reading anyway. I myself have a Kindle Paper white. Its very easy on the eyeballs and is good for low lighting condition and even bright lighting conditions. Regular LED screens can and will cause your eye balls some discomfort in long sessions. 
 
If you want a full fledged Android tablet then there are many to choose from and you can download the Amazon kindle app thru the Google Play Store for any books purchased thru Amazon and are not in an open format.

I'm just linking this as a bit of nice news, I guess?
 
The article is also nice because it actually gives a nice overview of what protein folding aims to achieve, what some common problems are, some nice pictures, etc...
 
This seems like good news. At least a step forward.
 
EDIT: Though it's not a solved problem yet: http://occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2020/12/02/no-deepmind-has-not-solved-protein-folding/

This is excellent news! And will hopefully spur continued innovation.
 
 
This is also amazing news, hopefully they will have more cash on hand now to address their GPU division...
 
I mean this stuff speaks for itself, well done AMD.
 
This is a win for everyone, as hopefully this puts ever more clout behind their Ryzen and Epyc division to keep the competition fueled.

Unpopular take (on the monitor, not on the stand, which is absolutely fucking ridiculous): If - and this is a BIG if - the XDR monitor is as good as Apple claims, $5k is not only a very good price, but almost certainly a game changer for digital cinema.
 
The Sony reference monitor that Apple compared the XDR to is the BVM-X300, one of only a select handful of professional reference color grading monitors that, at the time I'm writing this, has the capability of displaying Rec.2020 / P3 (the color spaces of HDR variants like Dolby Vision) in full. The price of the monitor (which ranges from $15k to $45k, depending on availability) and the scarcity of monitors like it make investing in HDR finishing very cost prohibitive to small and medium size post production houses, most of which opt for top of the line Rec.709 (TV color space) OLED reference monitors like the AM and CM line from FSI, which range from $5k to $15k.
 
If Apple TRULY has made a reference calibur monitor for $5k, that is a huge deal. What's currently holding back independent cinema from being able to finish in Dolby Vision and HDR-10 is the cost of entry, and this kind of deep drop in price for such a monitor is almost certainly bound to force other manufacturers to follow suit in order to compete.
 
What will ultimately be the determining factor is the colorimetry data that calibration specialists find by probing the monitor once it's released. The fact that Blackmagic Design (the makers of Davinci Resolve, currently the most accessible and popular color grading application) has partnered with Apple to support the XDR and the new Mac Pro, and that they were willing to supply an image of a full Resolve setup running 3 XDRs, is encouraging. Only time and the data will tell.
