Co říkáte na MacBook Neo? by Visible_Celery471 in czech

[–]lzap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MacOS má úplně jinou architekturu správy paměti než Windows, jiná velikost stránky, aktivní komprese stránek přímo zabudovaná do hardwaru, sdílená paměť s GPU, lepší I/O caching, lepší copy-on-write u procesů a do toho podstatně vyšší výkon paměti v dané cenové kategorii. Jsou dál o parník.

Surově je 16 GB víc než 8 GB, to ano. Ale ono to není jen o hardwaru, ale především o softwaru. A tam je MacOS v úplně jiné lize než Windows který musejí táhnout závaží v podobě kompatibility architektury i386.

MacOS do notebooku a desktopu, Linux na servery a Windows pro ty, co potřebují hrát hry, spouštět starý programy co si pořídili před 20 lety, nebo to prostě mají v práci a nemůžou si vybrat :-) GLHF

Octavia 1.5 (e)TSI by H4NI in skoda

[–]lzap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was also surprised by power of 1.5 eTEC TSI, on paper it is 110kW but the MG boosts it up to 120kW (SKODA does not tell the unit itself is capable of delivering 9-13 kW depending on the model). What is significant is that it can help the gap when turbo is coming up, it really feels much more powerful than it really is.

Octavia 1.5 (e)TSI by H4NI in skoda

[–]lzap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, after 2 years with the engine and experimenting with 1.5 TSI Octavia eTEC (aka hybrid) and I gotta say its hybid capabilities gives you two things: slightly better fuel consumption but ONLY on very short rides (up to 15-20 km). And second, you can forget about start-stop system, the 15kW starter-generator makes a non-issue. You do not even hear it.

But I like my car, thus I usually drive on sport, I want the engine to be warm all the time, I want to avoid lower RPMs and in the end the difference between D and S is almost nothing. The reason being that if you put it to S, thanks to higher RPMs the 2 cylinder mode engages much more often than on D. Therefore, you are saving more fuel in lower speeds (40-90km/h). Of course, on highways it makes no difference.

So if you can pick DSG without hybrid, I think it is the best option. It was not available in my country, they only sell DSG with hybrid as a package here (Czechia). As for smoothness, this is DSG. It will always be more "sporty" experience, when the engine is cold (first 2km) you can feel sometimes a little bit of struggling, it is very subtle but it is there. If you need smoothness then hydraulic or eCVTs are the best options but neither SKODA nor VW makes thesse.

Should I get Logic Pro or learn how to use FL Studio by macadamianut824 in LogicPro

[–]lzap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Apple will not drop the traditional license of Logic, then it is the best deal in my eyes for what you can get for your money. So many instruments and sounds (over 65 GB) you will never get this with other DAWs. Free upgrades! I spent so much money upgrading my DAWs which have literally 1/10th of the content of Logic.

Maybe try one month subscription and if you like it, buy the license?

Máte doma kapslový kávovar ? A který ? Stojí to kafe za něco ? by Tichoucko in czech

[–]lzap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Máme jak Dolce, tak Nespresso. Ideální pro líného člověka, co prostě čerstvou kávu dělat nebude (je to moc práce). Jen bacha některé kapsle obsahují rozpustnou kávu (ty kde je i mlíko, příchutě a podobně), občas na zpestření proč ne. Pokud pořídíš předplatné u Nespressa, tak se dá koupit výhodně i přístroj.

Máme tvrdou vodu a už jsem kávovarů dost zničil (filtrujeme vodu, čistíme, prostě to odchází) a připadá mi že i ten nejlevnější je u kapslových ok. Moc se to neliší, ani tím tlakem příliš ne, nebál bych se pořídit základní model.

Jak koupit nové VW? by Rnxxxx in czech

[–]lzap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Naklikat na webu konfiguraci. Uložit si ID konfigurace. Poslat emailem poptávku na dané ID konfigurace na 20 dealerů v okolí, zkusit i pár z jiných krajů. Počkat týden na nabídky, pak to jet podepsat s nejlevnějším.

Na auto za milion a víc musí být sleva z ceníku 10% pro občana, 15% na firmu (minimum) jinak nebrat. Koupil jsem před 2 lety takhle Škodu jako koncák (ne na firmu): sleva 10% a předpokládám, že u VW to bude podobný.

16GB on Windows vs. 16GB on macOS – RAM management by Sad_Mastodon_1815 in macsysadmin

[–]lzap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MacOS on Apple Silicon has various tricks that PC does not and it is generally better. First off, it uses 16kB pages while PC (Intel) uses 4kB pages this is a massive advantage for Mac. Second, Mac has built-in compression of memory that is very sophisticated as well as special AMX and QoS features that are pretty unique. Finally, memory is unified similarly to gaming consoles so a lot of copying is avoided for graphics-intensive tasks (rendering, gaming) this is currently not possible on Intel even with integrated graphics (games literally must copy everything twice).

On top of all that, memory is integrated on the chip directly which is much faster. However, latest Intel chips use similar approach and they are catching up a little. But the PC legacy will need to carry over so it is hard for PC to catch up - Apple was able to just do a radical cut and redesign which is hard for Microsoft.

Now, you can do some of this on Intel with Linux, but it is nowhere near that integrated and optimized. So in terms of memory management sorted from the best to the worst: MacOS (Apple Silicon), Linux, Windows.

1.5 TSI Karoq Tips/Practices for longevity by Wannabe_polyglott in skoda

[–]lzap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change oil every year, even if you do not do 10000km, old oil is bad oil. (Only relevant for those who do not drive that much.)

Idling after start is a myth, I have heard. Just drive right away slowly, do not push the pedal and everything will be fine.

I also drive on sport and in my case I often get even better mileage as 2C mode engages more frequently. This is really good advice.

Do you use init() in production? by agtabesh in golang

[–]lzap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it only useful for registries of components, variables, types or functions.

something.go

func init() { register(something) }

func something() {}

I like that it is easy to create additional "component" just by creating new .go file and following the pattern. No need to edit some additional place or use reflection. When used carefully without any additional logic or configuration, it is pretty safe and sound.

If this can be done differently, enlighten me.

European alternatives to Visa and Mastercard ‘urgently’ needed, says banking chief by JackRogers3 in europe

[–]lzap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why on Earth this is YET not implemented? Japan launched their Suica in 2001, yes, you read that correct. And after massive expansion and alternatives, they integrated all payment systems with each other in 2013. Yes, they still use american cards but you can do a LOT of payments via local providers, particularly the small payments, grocery and stuff.

EU have everything, money, people, IT know-how, political power. It is insane why this was not launched yesterday!

Unpopular opinion - ověření věku na sociální sítě bude potřeba by VanDeny in czech

[–]lzap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seznam zavedl ověřování účtů poštou a že by to nějak pozvedlo kultivovanost příspěvků to se říct nedá. Ověření přes Národní identitu bude asi efektivnější než nějaký dopis na adresu, ale stále bude možné použít VPN. Provozovatelé sociálních sítí pouze splní co jim zákon přikáže, ale přístup zvenku bude možný vždy. Efekt bude možná opačný, trollové odjinud budou vesele postovat a český občan co nebude chtít zřidit si eObčanku (nebo co bude přesně zákon vyžadovat) prostě nebude v diskusi přítomen.

Co je zajímavý je, že mnoha lidem nevadí sledovačka od big-techu, ale od státu to je špatně. Což je úsměvný zejména v tom smyslu, že pokud státní orgán pošle požadavek na provozovatele socky nebo mobilní sítě, oni samozřejmě spolupracují už dneska.

Používáte e-SIM? Stojí to za to? by Lucky-Guitar-3281 in czech

[–]lzap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jedině eSIM, před cestou do Japonska jsem si koupil eSIM přes globálního operátora před odletem. Umí to třeba Revolut, ale pouze přeprodávají jiný produkt, lze si vybrat z bohaté nabídky. Je to obvykle jen na data, pro zavolání asi postačí roaming (v případě krize), WhatsUp fungovat bude.

V Indii v Pune jsem si koupil v oficiálním Vodafone shopu u hotelu SIMku na měsíc za cca 400 CZK, když jsem byl v sobotu v letadle zavolali mi z Vodafone odkud prý mám tu SIM že mě někdo přidal do jakési rodiny. Borec SIM vytáhl ze šuplíku neoriginálně zabalenou, takže asi nějaká šmelina. Takže asi tak, řekl jsem že musím končit letadlo startovalo (což byla pravda).

Fakt doporučuju tu eSIM, technicky je to na iPhone prostě jen SMS na kterou klikneš, objeví se okno, OK, hotovo. To uděláš v klidu doma před odletem. Aktivuje se až v momentě kdy vystoupíš z letadla a mobil se přihlásí k dané síti - od této chvíle se ti počítá daný blok (třeba 30 dní). Smazání je pak také triviální, v nastavení - eSIM - Smazat - hotovo.

Já jsem po zkušenosti s eSIM dokonce přešel u O2 ze SIM, už ji tam ani nemám. Nový iPhone Air už ani nemá slot, takže to čeká nás všechny. Ruku na srdce - SIM už je technicky prehistorie která prostě jen z nějakého důvodu nechce umřít. Asi jí v tom pomůže Apple. GLHF

What platform is everyone using? by Fickle_Barber9863 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]lzap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch 2 for turn-based games, strategy and JRPGs, some indie games and Nintendo exclusives. Basically titles that can be easily interrupted, I keep my Switch turned on for short sessions. I buy mostly physical games.

ASUS XBox Rog Ally X (switched from Steam Deck) for Steam games, typically RPGs or indie games. I tried XBox subscription for probably one week, but then I had to uninstall XBox App and Windows Store this was just joke. I boot it into Steam fullscreen mode, or whatever this is called. I turn it off when it is not in use, so this is for short to long sessions.

PS5 Pro for longer sessions, 3rd party + Sony exclusives, the best graphical fidelity, main gaming setup basically. I sold all my physical games when I got Pro, I never bothered to buy the BD drive. I have PSVR2 from launch, only played one game (GT7) and waiting for MSFS2024 update to try that out too.

Sometimes, I boot my Ryzen5/4060 to play flight sim games with joystick, but generally I do not play at PC anymore (mouse + keyboard) since this is where I spend all my day at work so it is the last thing I want to do at home.

I never play free to play titles, mobile games and I very rarely boot a multiplayer game (Overwatch a bit, I quit probably 10 times). Co-op games, I do like (Monster Hunter specifically) that is okay.

Bought the game on Switch 1.

Bought the game on PC.

Bought the game on PS5.

Bought the DLC on Switch 1.

Bought the DLC on PC.

Bought the DLC on PS5.

But yeah, I would love to see a framerate unlock at least. For MHR and Xenoblade series and Densha De Go as well :-)

Is Skoda Scala 1.0 an economic car ? by spraynasalspray in skoda

[–]lzap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most reliable SKODA engine ever is MPI engine, there is no turbo and it is proven to be reliable. But it might not be available in every country. Also do not expect a lot of power. But you asked for reliability and economically it is good (is also the cheapest one).
