I remember the headaches I used to get after long sessions of God of War on PCSX2 v0.9.6 at 5-10 fps on a pentium dual core. Can't believe it's been over a decade.

This is cool. Has it been documented somewhere?

Not sure. But I've been downvoted plenty of times and it's never gone lower than -4.

I'm using Google Keep for actionable checklists, and obsidian as a knowledge-base (consisting long-term goals, notes, resources, links, etc).

For the longest time, I had been looking for something that offered offline support and was lightweight, my use case being limited to text content. The combination of these two has been super effective for me. In the long run, I'll probably migrate the checklists to Obsidian too, but Keep is relatively easier to quickly add stuff to.

Google pulled off a similar thing with their photos app. Offered "unlimited" storage in 2016, improved the AI leveraging all our data, discontinued in 2021.

Never using cloud again.

Wasn't it still "unlimited" for photos uploaded before the cut-off? That's quite reasonable for a free service vs. "paid lifetime".

> quite reasonable

Maybe. I'd use the word 'compensatory'.

Using two apps to access half of my media each renders either one useless.

When someone else controls your compute, you're not owning but renting, regardless of how or what they call it in the marketing.

Unless legislation changes to make sure consumer rights are respected for cloud offerings, it won't change one bit.

I would say buy your own drives, and store your own data on location. Use cloud as a backup rather than a primary use.

You can turn off background scans in your group settings without getting rid of the entire thing.

1. Run gpedit.msc

2. Navigate to administrative templates -> windows components -> Microsoft defender antivirus -> real-time protection -> turn off real-time protection

3. Set 'enabled'

2048(https://play2048.co/) is low-commitment and resumable, but highly addictive.

Chrome bookmark export has a bug, so watch out in case you're using it. It doesn't export unnamed links.

I'm wondering how much clock speed you gave up to achieve stability at -30.

I could barely be stable at -15 all core on a 5900X at zero clock offset.

About 300Mhz on each core on average, but the peak frequency on the best core did not change.

Resident Evil 4, Prototype and Deus Ex: Human Revolution immediately came to mind. Massive replay value.

Looks like you're trying to get all of these done at the same time. Choose one task that you feel like working on the most.

Now keep taking baby-steps to gradually build momentum.

Try not to worry about the completion. keep switching tasks whenever you feel overwhelmed.
