FYI you have to specifically enable multithreading for excel/libreoffice.
You’d be surprised how resource intensive displaying a webpage can be, esp if that webpage is more like 12 trading charts.
Agreed with getting high single thread performance vs the threadripper (fwiw I have a 3995wx, so I’ve tested it as a desktop)
Higher memory incase you want to run VM’s.
Nvidia/Windows tends to not do well with 4 monitors, (this could apply specifically to 4 4k 144hz monitors). Had a bunch of reliability issues esp with returning from standby. 3 works great. I’ve yet to try multiple gpus, I instead run two pc’s. If you care less about gaming I’d get the Nvidia a2000, It’s basically a prebinned rtx 3060 with ecc, and lower power usage) Likely would run 4 monitors at high framerates, but I have not tested it yet.
Figure out if you are likely to notice a high framerate monitor, and if so get high framerate displays. Your best bang for buck in 4k’s (Assuming you care about latency and resolution and less about gaming or HDR) is the gigabyte m28u or m32. (28inch vs 32) If you want smaller LG has a few, LGGN950 i believe. Keep in mind heat output, 5 of these at 4k 144hz will draw about 200w of power.
I’d get the 12900k or ks not the KF, so you get the added flexibility of the iGPU. KS is the prebinned intel OC’ed version of the K/KF.
Your money is absolutely no object upgrade is an optane p5800x for your OS. It’s an enterprise drive with ridiculously low latency, makes your desktop usage much snappier. I had a 905p previously, probably just as good in practice.
Quiet is all based on ambient temps and cooling. Keep in mind modern processors do a great job of boosting their speed if they have thermal headroom. Your best bang for buck option is to use an arctic liquid freezer ii AIO, as big as you are comfortable with. High end is custom water cooling loops.
(My current main desktop is a 12900ks, 128gb ram, 3090, p5800x. previous was a 5950x)
Feel free to msg me if you want to discuss further.
I’m doing what I can to ensure they win O:)
This works. Donating blood seems to improve insulin sensitivity.
Ping—did this ever happen? I’m looking for good examples of anki decks for book summaries before I start creating my own.
Do you have better suggestions?
It’ll take time to adapt, and is generally much easier if you are eating a low carb diet.
Smartwool.
Specifically, get these if you dont wear glasses or these if you do. I’ve read the wavelength charts for these, and know they block the specific wavelengths of blue light that we care about for melatonin.
Intermittent fasting solves a number of these issues...
My dad changed his name when he became a citizen...and got sufficiently annoyed at the hassle that he changed his name back. Note—this wasn’t a major name change, he changed it from “Amarjit Singh Jolly” to “Jolly Amarjit Singh”
How many people come to this? I’ll be in town for the weekend (Infosec Southwest), so might be able to stop by.
I’m likely to come (70%) , and could present if desired :)
Dreeves and other beeminder people used to do pomodoro sessions virtually together starting on the hour, I found value in that. (this is where I got the scheduled pomodoro sessions idea from) that I had suggested to you!
I enjoyed the pomodoro sessions we were doing in the Beeminder chat :)
My comments: Seeing people was great, actual ritual was looong, and strongly triggered my ADHD. Which was mostly mitigated by me amusing myself with shiny led gloves.
This mirrors my own experience—the way I’ve found to have the most influence, and get the most done is often not being the one completing the tasks, but rather the one creating and documenting the process/procedures, and teaching and training other people to do the work.
It’s also far more lucrative from a career standpoint! :D
I’m debating just using starbucks VIA packets, but Dave would probably claim those have higher risks of mold :/
I never preheat my blender (but note, I’m using a stick, immersible style blender) And the way to preheat would be to make extra hot water and dump it in the blender.
Btw, if you care a lot about noise, you can
1) get ultra long display cables (ruipro), can get 144hz 4k support 100ft+ no problem, and just put your PC elsewhere. I personally just swap cables, to move my work setup between my sitting multimon workstation, to my standing treadmill desk, to my TV, to my couch PC setup.
2) If you are crazy like me, multiroom water cooling is an option as well.
