When I last tried Yarn v2, it was a nightmare. Besides the fact it was a completely new major version that fundamentally changed how Yarn worked (from its architecture to how dependencies were handled).
After seeing news about the latest release for Yarn v2, I got to thinking and the idea I would migrate one of my Aurelia 2 Projects from Yarn v1 go Yarn v2 was born.
This isn’t going to be a tutorial or how-to for upgrading. I didn’t actually encounter any issues upgrading to v2. In fact, this is quite a non-eventful post.
Nvidia unexpectedly dropped three new graphics cards in its recent announcement. The 3070, 3080 and 3090 at price points which are just as impressive as the cards themselves.
The 30 series Ampere cards are a new generational leap for graphics cards which have a lot of people excited. Noticeably quiet, but imminently expected to launch its Big Navi architecture cards is AMD.
And it seems AMD is getting ready, given they’re doing publicity stunts in Fortnite and seemingly, staging them as well.
When it comes to working from home, the same benefits are often touted like saved money, reduced commute times, lack of in-office distractions. But, there are benefits which don’t often get mentioned as much as they should.
Only one car needed
Prior to the pandemic like many working families, we had two cars. When the pandemic set in and I went from 3 days remote to 5 days remote, our second car sat unused collecting dust (and bird droppings). Going forward I knew going into the office would be a rare thing, so we sold our second car and put it towards our renovations.
I recently just built a new AMD Ryzen 3900x gaming PC and I moved my tower to a new location. Everything had been working for days and after moving, I reconnected everything and turned it on. The computer made a “beep” noise, but wouldn’t go into the post screen.
Naturally, my first instinct was to freak out. Had the motherboard, CPU or power supply died? Maybe I got a dud board?
While Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 has been about barely a couple of weeks now, the community are already fast at work on making MSFS 2020 so much better. One area where the community and modders have really stepped up is fixing scenery and landmarks in the game.
It turns out that Bing Maps is not as comprehensive or as detailed as Google Maps, so some landmarks are missing and existing buildings improperly converted into 3D models using Blackshark.ai’s 2D to 3D generation artificial intelligence algorithm.
When it comes to remastered games, they can be hit and miss cash grabs designed to get gamers to part with their hard-earned cash from their wallets by tapping into the part of your brain that longs for nostalgia.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is one of those iconic game series that thirty-somethings like myself played as kids. My friends and I used to stay up all night playing this on the Playstation. When I heard they were remastering this game for its 20th anniversary (jeez, when did I get so old) I knew it was an instant purchase.
I recently built a new PC and did a clean Windows 10 install. As a result, I had to reinstall VSCode and everything else. I use PowerShell as my prefered shell in VSCode and encountered an error I sort of remember from when I did my last fresh install.
The error in my case reads File C:\Users\dwayn\AppData\Roaming\npm\yarn.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.
Well, Nvidia just well and truly dropped the microphone with its announcement of the Nvidia RTX 30xx series cards. One of the biggest announcements of all is the lower tier of the new cards the RTX 3070 will allegedly have double the performance of the current-gen flagship 2080 Ti and is only $499 USD.
In Australia, we pay more for technology in general. After the conversion, GST (government tax on goods and services), people are probably assuming the price won’t work out to be too nice for us Australians.
Passwords are insecure. Even as password awareness has increased and password practices have shifted towards creating stronger passwords and using password managers such as 1Password, a password is only as good as its complexity, uniqueness and security of the application or website.
You can enforce stronger passwords, but you can’t enforce uniqueness. Password rules just make people change their passwords from: password123 to password123! — I’ve educated my dad on passwords, but he was notorious for creating basic passwords as most of our parents are.
One of the most frustrating and annoying features of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is waiting for the game to load past the splash screen logos (which take forever), only for it to go to a pointless screen that tells you to, “Press Any Key to Start” which then makes you wait for the game to load again.
It turns out that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 has a fast launch flag you can specify which will skip the publisher and partner splash logos at the start as well as remove the background video. The game takes seconds to load.
