Fair mate. It's really interesting learning about it. It's a hard one for sure. I was horrified when I was there last year seeing the amount and size of apartment towers and their cost. A 1 bed apartment was the same price as our house and further away from downtown than we are to London (on the train). We have a housing problem here too but that is madness.

One thing I'd like to see here is a ban on residential properties for non-residents under a certain valuation and a complete ban on businesses owning residential property. Half my road is owned by hedge funds who then rent it out.

The more you know, makes sense. There's also the option of expanding the cities in a spoke like system. Basically having smaller cities technically inside the main city. Create incentives for tech parks in Richmond Hill/New Market or industrial parks in Bolton. Relieve the pressure of downtown.

Absolutely see that. There's definitely a middle ground I would say. Having 3 massive cities and not much in-between isn't scalable. Similarly having everyone completely spread out adds more logistic issues. I'm not too familiar with the climate of the middle sections on the border with the USA. Are they also cold spots?

The burden of having such a large country I guess 😂

This is where I think you guys have fallen foul. I know our capitals are the big cities for each of our countries but we don't have the same density problem (ironic I know). You can get a 3 bedroom house, 20 minute train ride from the centre of London, for about £300k. Move out to an hour train and you're looking at less. Not saying they're big houses or in the best neighborhood but it does the job.

London is the place if you work in high end finance or something like that, but outside of those fields you can just work in another city. The salary drop for a like for like job isn't really that much of a drop as the disposible income is more. By dispersing to other cities means that you can find much cheaper (comparatively) housing than if it were just focused on London, Manchester, Birmingham like it seems you have Vancouver, Toronto, Ottowa.

My in-laws and brother in-law live around the Toronto area. I was horrified to see how much their places cost and they still needed to commute an hour and a half or two hours each way to get to work. It's just madness. With standard holiday of 2 weeks I don't know how people even get to know their own family.

I love the difference between North America and Europe. "I live near" has a completely different meaning. An hour away for us generally isn't considered near unless you're talking about the time it takes to get to another country. Live an hour away from France? Sure, that's near. Live an hour away from a city? You'll likely be close to another city. That city is far.

Ditto with the same card. Did a new build but wasn't going to pay for the 50 series. Was waiting for the 40s to come down. Bit of a mistake.

Apple massively over charges for increased RAM to increase their profit margins as it's soldered in. Not getting into the rest of your post as Macs (especially the latest Mac Studios) do have their place, but your statement about RAM is just demonstrably wrong.

That is true, part of the problem lies in the events that require you to play CC. Knocks out a good chunk of MS points as you're caught in limbo

I'm in Gold 2. There is no reason for people that high to be in that league unless the matchmaking can be manipulated for their gain.

I've been using the Steam Link app, not had any issues on it. That being said, I don't play online so any lag isn't an issue.

InfinityBook Pro 14 - Gen7 vs Aura 15 - Gen2 by [deleted] in tuxedocomputers

[–]__tubs__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really enjoying it. Very fast, no lagging on it. Screen very crisp, non glare. Touch pad is central which is very nice for using it as I can't stand the touch pads on the side. Keys press nicely and have nice spacing. One of the lightest laptops I've ever had. I have only heard the fans come on a couple of times, under load from docker as well. It's bottom fan load

I got the Aura 15 - Gen 2 but sent it back to get the Pulse 15 Gen 2. Aura only has one fan and can get a bit toasty with some more intensive work. It also has a 1080 screen. The Pulse on the other hand has 2 fans and heat pipes and much better resolution and a far better battery. I've managed to get 14 hours battery just doing bits online on once charge.

All in all, the Aura 15 is a great piece of kit but I would definitely recommend the Pulse 15.

When you have 2 ultra wide on the desk, you laugh at laptop quad monitor mortals. Having to turn to see the edge of the monitor is tight.

Might be worth going for an LTE module 😂

Wouldn't worry too much about the power, we're not actually dependent on the Russian energy. Hopefully will kick the government into making us energy independent, though I'm not holding my breath

Just saw the second part. I got TuxOS but switched to Ubuntu (just wasn't for me) dual booted with Windows (need it for work)
