This is actually brilliant. While looking to see if anyone reasonable had an NVIDIA RTX 3080 card on eBay at a reasonable price (nobody did), I came across this drawing that someone is selling on eBay and people are actually bidding on it.
Sadly, this is probably the closest that anyone is going to get to possessing an RTX 3080 for the next few months. It’s clear that it was mostly a paper launch for Nvidia to get press coverage and the scarce availability helps build more hype and result in more sales.
The Bootstrap 5 alpha was announced a few months ago and I instantly jumped on it and started using it. The lack of jQuery and more robust colour palettes as well as grid system were too hard to pass up.
If you are reading this in the future and Bootstrap 5 has already been released, these instructions will still work for you. Admittedly, the approach I am taking here avoids the need for any package manager like Npm or Yarn, I’m going to show you a simple way.
After an endless stream of betas and release candidates, Vue 3 is finally here.
Congratulations to the Vue team and all of the contributors who made the release happen. As many of you know, I’m on the Aurelia core team and I’ve seen how hard it is shipping a new major release. Aurelia 2 itself has been in development for quite a while now.
I haven’t made my criticisms of React a secret and I am glad that there are frameworks and libraries still around challenging React/keeping it honest, even if it is the king of the hill at present. In Vue 3, there are new composition features, support for TypeScript (finally) and other features which are more React-esque.
Goodbye, “Can it run Crysis” and hello, “Can it run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020” — it’s not a secret that MSFS 2020 is an intensive game that seemingly has been unable to run smoothly on high-end hardware since its late August 2020 release.
The game released and while it ran okay, it wasn’t smooth at higher settings and resolutions, the Nvidia 2080 ti owners were dismayed their powerhouse card couldn’t achieve what we now know is impossible.
The last few months of Mozilla news hasn’t all been exactly positive. The once beloved company is fighting to keep its head above water as well as retain its open and anti-corporate identity.
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Just over a month ago, Mozilla laid off 250 employees. Understandably, 2020 has been a challenging time for many companies. However, the layoffs were not due to the pandemic or any other reason, the poor executive leadership at Mozilla is to blame.
The writing has been on the wall with this one since Joe Rogan announced his $100 million-dollar multi-year Spotify exclusive deal in May 2020. The Joe Rogan catalogue if you look back far enough is all but certain to have some content that people would find offensive.
Some staff are internally are fighting against content in Joe’s back catalogue which they deem to be transphobic. There is a particular episode where Joe interviews an author who wrote a book comparing transitioning to eating disorders and self-harm, as well as comments made by Joe himself which many have deemed offensive.
Well, the day has finally come and gone. The Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card has gone on sale and all but sold out at every retailer in a matter of minutes. The limited quantities of the card, have created a frenzy.
Firstly, if you thought about getting one of these new cards, you’re going to have to wait a long time.
Those wanting RTX 3080 GPUs, here’s some info:
This morning we experienced more traffic than the morning of Black Friday
Back in the early 2000’s when the modern web was still in its infancy and jQuery reigned supreme, many of the things we can do now did not exist and required sometimes obscene hacks and solutions to get working. Believe it or not, centring a div used to be a complicated task.
Fortunately, in 2020 with the advent of modern CSS, we have multiple ways to centre a DIV (or any content) with just a few lines of CSS. Using Flexbox affords us the ability to centre things both horizontally and vertically (even both at the same time).
Thank you, Asobo. Since the launch of MSFS 2020, the game has been plagued with some teething issues. Many of which have centred around excessive CPU usage, bottlenecking graphics cards and poor frame rates (especially in cities). I have been playing the game and it’s largely a success, but there have been some issues.
We all knew they would eventually fix them and in patch 1.8.3.0, we finally have one of the first meaningful patches that take a step towards fixing the issues. The patch download initially in the Microsoft Store is 676mb, but in the game, you’ll see it’s an additional 13.4gb.
After raising the prices of its premium tier last year, Netflix is now raising the prices for its basic and standard plans over the coming weeks for existing members and effective immediately for new signups. The basic plan is going up by $1 to $10.99 and the standard plan increasing by $2 to $15.99.
I do find it quite strange that Netflix would increase the prices of its streaming service during a pandemic, and furthermore, at a time when Australia officially entered recession not too long ago where the economy contracted seven per cent.
