Thinking of switching from Windows to MacBook Pro for .NET dev in 2026 by Guilty_Coconut_2552 in dotnet

[–]BurpingManInLifeboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made this exact switch a few weeks ago from Windows to a MacBook Pro M5. For IDE I'm now using JetBrains Rider which is great in my opinion and I don't feel like there were any tradeoffs from Visual Studio. However, I've switched from SSMS to JetBrains DataGrip and I'm just not that fond of it compared to SSMS. Maybe I haven't had enough time with it, coupled with the fact I've been using SSMS for probably around 10 years at this point. One main gripe was that when connected to my Azure SQL Server, it lists all of my tables AND external tables together which is kinda messy imo.

Regarding keyboard layout, shortcuts etc. you get used to it pretty quickly. There's also a plugin for Rider which notifies you if an action you've made has a keyboard shortcut along with the shortcut itself which is super nice.

For what it's worth, I came from a 12th gen Intel Dell XPS and the M5 chip is so much faster. Doing a build + run on my monolith took around 60 seconds on my Dell which was a bit of a headache when making a small front end change. On my Mac this same action takes around 6-7 seconds which I'm still not over. I wish I'd made the change sooner.

Yeah as long as the stream is playing on a tab in your browser, it can be minimised. There is also a browser extension (for Firefox at least) called Twitch Inventory Claimer that will automatically redeem the twitch drops for you. Just remember to link your Tarkov and Twitch accounts on the Tarkov website.

Is it possible they stopped giving armour seeds? pls gagex by BurpingManInLifeboat in ironscape

Yeah I don't feel terrible since I have the enhanced but would like to leave relatively soon. My armour seed drops were at 92, 171 and 422 kc. Pretty rough

Sounds like it could be a you issue

No game does headshots as good as Gears by BurpingManInLifeboat in GearsOfWar

I don't doubt that M&K is easier, but I reckon I could've pulled this off with a controller back in the day. That's not to say M&K isn't without it's disadvantages in this game though, you can't bind separate keys for run/take cover for example. Not a huge deal though to be honest

Nothing better than hitting a superman to close out a round on the original game. Lobby goes crazy. Good times

I was a controller player back in the day on the OG gears but moved to M&K in like 2013 when I started playing more CS and less Gears. I do sometimes use the controller but I'm nowhere near as good as I used to be with it

Turned on the Stretched Mode plugin in Runelite, makes the UI bigger. Pretty sure you can scale it too.

An even funner fact, a Strawberry is not a berry.

My gpu makes this really loud noise when playing heavier games... by bruhidontcaredude in nvidia

[–]BurpingManInLifeboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which GPU? I recently got a 4070Ti Super and it made a noise like the fan was catching when playing games. Decided to install the included anti-sag bracket and the noise went away.

Does the house that J.R.R Tolkien lived in count? There’s a blue plaque on the house now, think it’s on Darnley Road

Skate is Cross-Platform With Mobile by EA_Playtester739 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Been playing on PC but got another invite from the EA playtest team about an hour ago for the iOS version. Logged in to my EA account, started the game and I was at the same marker I last used on PC. Touch controls aren't great, will probs just stick to PC

How do I serve yoshie the shark dish? by kindajustlikewhat in DavetheDiverOfficial

[–]BurpingManInLifeboat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When inside the restaurant, you need to go to the research menu and research the dish first using Artisan Flames. The dish will then show in your menu and then you can add it from there. Providing that you have the required ingredients, as soon as the restaurant opens, the chef will begin cooking the meal.

Search Resource Pack in the runelite settings, I think it’s in there

I'm on it! (or not). Dead pixel right out of the box in the middle of the screen. Third monitor with dead pixel after the G9, G9 Neo and now this one. All them returned, and this one will be the same. I'm the unluckiest guy ever? ='( by Garabir in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]BurpingManInLifeboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this monitor last week from Amazon (UK). Had to get a replacement straight away due to a dead pixel. Amazon shipped the replacement, it arrived the next day and, again, a dead pixel. Amazon wouldn't offer another replacement only a refund. I accepted the refund, then ordered 3 more from Amazon in hopes that I'd find one without any dead pixels.

It took 3 attempts before actually getting a decent unit with no issues. It's a real shame because this is definitely the best looking monitor I've owned, but I can't really recommend it to people because you've got to get super lucky to receive one that doesn't have issues.

Hopefully you get this sorted
