The least amount of electronics on my bike - the better. I have a motor, battery, and a control panel to oversee the former and nothing more. The rest of the bike is acoustic, serviceable, cheap, and long lasting. I don't have to worry about bad software bricking my shifters.
And this is why most users should not be opting in to preview updates.
Six grand (CAD) for a bike that your kid will probably outgrow in couple years, potentially less.
It looks awesome but this is not a sane use of one's money.
This is true but only to a point. I have 64GB of RAM and I have seen Photoshop overshoot that and start eating up 20gb of page file. Working with the exact same files in Affinity Photo - it uses a quarter of that.
There is a difference between "Efficiently use available memory for program functions" and "Fill all available memory with bloat and poorly coded rubbish"
If your software's function can be replicated using only 1/4 of system memory then your software is poorly written. Which Photoshop is.
I dumped my Adobe sub and grabbed Affinity Photo a while ago. It does 95% of the things Photoshop does (and 100% of what I need) for a one-time payment that is a fraction of the cost of an Adobe payment. It's runs so so SO much better than PS. I very often saw Photoshop using up to 40gb of RAM and Affinity Photo uses 9gb doing the exact same work with the same files.
Removing Creative Cloud and it's 838 different processes was amazing. Like finally watching your toilet flush after it's been clogged.
Doubt it. Call their bluff. They'd lose so much more to legal/court fees than they'd ever get back. X is just looking for a quick cash injection.
And so begins "Line must go up" and the inevitable enshittification .
This is just flatout theft. This is stealing of customer property. Incredible.
Not surprising. They archive information that powerful people would rather we forget.
New AI technology promises to-
Hmm, where have I heard this before...
A little something I whipped up to stress test my new workstation PC while in-between bigger projects. Made in Blender and Photoshop! :D
Excited to see Discord do absolutely nothing about this despite it being an egregious breach of their TOS.
I picked up this old calculator from a thrift store for $25. I cleaned it up and got it working again and decided it would make for a cool thing to model, especially with the VFD tubes! My model is not perfectly 1:1 to the original but I tried to make it match where it counts. This model was a lot of fun to make and I am very happy with how it turned out! Made in Blender and Substance Painter.
A little close up macro scene I put together in Blender! I usually do expansive vistas or interiors so this was a nice change of pace for me.
Remaking one of my very first 3D scenes with my modern skills and knowledge. I think it turned out alright! Thank you for looking :D
Made in Blender and Substance Painter with editing in Photoshop.
Been a while since I made something snowy in Blender! Turned out decently, I think. I usually do pictures with stronger, more direct sunlight so it was cool to do a semi-overcast scene. Made in Blender with light touching up in Photoshop!
A sort of thought-exercise-turned-artproject encouraged by my therapist. Not exactly how I imagined it when I started but that is usually how these go. Made in Blender with editing in Photoshop. Thanks for looking :D
My newest 3D piece I finished up this morning. Made in Blender with some mild editing in Photoshop afterwards. Thanks for lookin! :D
My latest thingy made in Blender with light post processing done in Photoshop!
Handsome and floofy. Was surprised how big they are when I saw some in person. Beautiful birbs!
Capitalism is all about short-term profit. These sorts of long-term questions and concerns are not things shareholders and investors think or care about.
Further proof of this: Climate change.
