I work with a lot of badly injured people and my two pieces of advice based on my experience is to be committed to your pt and to practice mindfulness as a way to reduce the effects of pain. Pain disrupts sleep and concentration, and is really fucking exhausting.
These streaming companies are dreaming. I hope people will just stop streaming. There will be massive street markets for hard drives and thumb drives loaded with pirated content.
In my experience all procrastinating and avoidance can be traced to emotional reactions to whatever I’m thinking about the task.
Just like, how I conceptualize the task in my head.
The more significant the consequences, the more I naturally desire to avoid thinking about how much is at stake with the task. Like, maybe I’ve gotten wrapped up in thinking “wow, if I don’t get this task done, that proves I’m really a screw up.” So just thinking about what failure might mean puts my body into fight or flight, and one of the ways we naturally cope with that is avoidance. It feels like anxiety. It that case, I recognize now that I need to deliberately take time to think about what success on the task will mean for me.
That lessens my emotional reaction to negative thoughts about a task. One way to practice this that’s been helpful is whenever I think of a task I have to do, I try to follow it with a thought of why I have to do it, and what goal I will meet if I do it.
On the flip side, a lot of my avoidance and procrastination is really just prioritizing and being ambitious. Like, there really isn’t enough time in the day for me, and I accept that; so time I do spend relaxing or zoning does not need to make me feel any type of way about something productive I technically could be doing.
I’m further trying to condition my relax and zone out time as if it’s a consequence of doing something productive first. Like I get to actually enjoy that time if I’ve got something I easily direct my brain to if it starts in on me; talkin’ about, shut up brain, I can play Skyrim all afternoon, my inbox is empty, or I drafted that thing, or ran on the exercise bike. That shuts up my brain some.
Business computing such as word processing and spreadsheets, database software, requires very little processing power. So you’re making an apples to oranges comparison.
The pro stuff is essentially double the processing power, and double the price. The difference is in process threading and number of cores. Rendering huge video and CAD projects, for example, would take forever on a gaming rig, because that kind of rendering software is optimized for threading, game processes are not usually optimized or not as optimized. For example, there are some games that will only use one core of even a dual core processor.
I’m sure someone that knows much more about this stuff will correct any errors in terminology. Anyway, that’s my take on the question.
Initially I thought, well, what graphics processors do they have inside commercial gaming systems, such as a high-end training, flight simulator, or racing simulator. They use the RTX 30 and 40 series.
Generally, hobbyist and consumer grade products are not meant to be used 40 hours a week, such as commercial products are. It’s easy to see huge differences in these sort of products on things like lawn mowers, refrigeration. Even in televisions. Your television in your home is likely not meant to operate 365 days a year like the ones you find in a hotel lobby or airport. They just have higher quality components and engineering, designed to withstand long-term, high volume use. They use better glue.
I talked about the same thing in terms of hospitality televisions like you find in a hotel lobby or airport; on 365 days a year, at full brightness so you can see it from across the room. I bet a consumer TV would start to come literally unglued after a several weeks if made to work like that. Duty cycles is the term, and your advice to buy the cycle rating that you need is perfect.
This was always legal. I’m an attorney, I do not represent any Trump supporters. If a client says something favorable about trump, they are no longer my client. They are just too stupid, judgement too poor, don’t understand difference between reality and fantasy. They make the absolute worst clients.
Nah. Many of them have stumbled their way into money. Lots of trade people and small businesses, which makes up my typical clientele, others are sons and daughters of second or third generation union humps. Many grew up with one working parent being able to provide and that union parent has one or two pensions and is still hustling jobs. So, many of them can afford a lawyer. They are unfailingly whiney babies who are an awful combination of privileged existence and self agrandizement. I blame social media for validating their most half-baked ideas and emotional reactions.
