  1. Animation studios typically use Maya, 3D Motion Graphics typically uses C4D, and Blender is great if you're just on your own or on a small indie team that already uses it. The great thing about 3D software is that it's relatively easy to switch between then now.
  2. Because it's fun! Does there have to be a better reason?

    BeerLinked anyone?
  4. This just in, LTT edition hard drives:
  5. If they put just ONE more Type-C port in it and made it a bit bigger it might've been an amazing laptop. Wait, that's the MacBook AIr. Jokes aside, I used the 2015 MacBook 12" for a long time and it was a great laptop. Sucks I had to "grow out" of a laptop like that but that's how it ended up.
  6. I'll actually be on vacation in SD on the 4th... I'll see if I can stop by!
  7. While it's an idea that is great in concept it fails when some of the most crucial attributes of the Linux desktop are considered. Linux runs on pretty much everything. It was only a few years ago that i386 support, an architecture released in 1985, was dropped. You can name any component and there's a solid chance there's already a driver available for it. In fact, driver support on Linux is actually better in some ways than Windows, since most drivers will be available even in the setup process. Pretty much the only thing to consider when picking "Linux-friendly" components is the GPU (Nvidia works and works great, but AMD cards are known to have better support). Then there's the issue of distributions. If you take an old Power Mac, it'll run PPC versions of Debian. But does that make it a Linux laptop? It doesn't work well with modern Linux software, but it does run Linux. Is a laptop Linux friendly if it can only handle KDE with software rendering? And would you consider something that may require a bit of tinkering to work as a laptop that works with Linux? Sure, out-of-the-box "it just works" is great, but if you're diving into Linux you should probably be ready for some of that anyways, regardless of hardware. Is it worth it to consider it not compatible with Linux?
  8. Sudden changes like these that seem to be caused by nothing are in many cases the result of a Windows update. Have you tried running a full DDU and then installing the graphics driver? Can you try setting the resolution in Nvidia Control Panel rather than PC Settings?
  9. Wait... you ran a clean on Diskpart? That removes all of the partitions on the drive. The data is probably still there, but there's nothing on the drive to tell the OS what data is what. Your best hope (if you ran a clean command) is to try partition recovery software like DiskGenius but this is all at your own risk.
  10. Have you tried running a CHKDSK? I think Windows will flag a drive as read only if there's a problem to making potential problems worse.
  11. The NUCs were pretty popular in the production industry, especially in lighting design. They've become the de facto standard for PC-based lighting (i.e. grandMA 2/3, Hog 4 PC) and they're solidly built machines we can count on and recommend. For reference, this was the previous standard machine.
  12. Overheating shouldn't be a problem but I'd be careful with your vibration dampening as it could actually make it easier to transfer the vibrations between them. Not sure as I've never used a mousepad to prevent this but I've had even 2 NASes on a wood desk cause problems with each other. It likely won't be enough to decrease performance that much, although your latency might be a little higher to counteract failed reads.
  13. On the Xbox Series consoles you can use a USB 3.0 HDD/SSD but it will only let you install Xbox One games on it. You can buy a "storage expansion" to plug into the back which go up to 2TB. You can also get a kit to convert an M.2 SSD into a storage expansion, but I've never used it so YMMV.
  14. "Integrated Elgato Steam Deck" Lol... who proofed this?
  15. I've always had problems with Asurion, specifically their UBreakIFix stores. Needed a battery replacement but didn't want the screen fixed (it had a small crack but nothing I cared about enough to get fixed) After explaining over the phone and in store that I wanted the battery fixed, they fixed the screen and didn't touch the battery. Tried going again after calling them and saying they fixed the wrong thing, and they fixed absolutely nothing, no change. Finally, the third time at a different store led to the battery being actually fixed, albeit with a screen that's no longer flush with the frame.
