Could probably avoid the crazy fan with a waterblock - I've seen a whole kit, v100 + PCIE adapter + block for £235. Yes, you'll have to pay for pump, radiators and radiator fans, but that should really quieten it down
FWIW the Macbook Air is slightly more repairable and modern ones are decent enough to do work on without the display limitations of prior non-pro apple silicon. As a travel machine, I shy away from the Pro because of how poor it is to repair.
Unfortunately a Macbook is a hard requirement for travel simply because of battery life, at my desk I use my Windows gaming rig for work.
I don't programme much any more but the whole beauty of Ruby that it pretty much heavily relies on #respond_to? / duck typing and thus you don't rely on types or class checking at all.
This is absolutely a mean AF law. This is pure Trump in his element with no depth of thought. However Big Tech does not care about your feelings, there are two realistic options.
To send you back where you came from (severance).
To send you somewhere where you have the ability to keep doing what your doing.
Some may fork out the fee for a year for exceptional staff, thats about it.
Anyway, forget the tech sector. The impact to the health care sector is even worse.
Even better than this actually is a one time relocation cost, you retain the domain knowledge of the employee and send someone elsewhere where they can keep working.
Speaking purely from the UK perspective, London is expensive, however, real estate should not be seen as a cost for a large company, it's an investment. Price increases on office real estate on a year-to-year basis just in London is 5-10% per square metre.
For the UK this is amazing news, it also allows for places like Birmingham and Manchester to get a significant boost.
> Can you elaborate more on hiring and immigration in the United Kingdom and Australia with respect to similar skilled visa work?
> When you say South Asia could you expand on what specific countries you mean? I think South Asia could mean a few things to a few different people which is why I ask.
I was in the process of moving one engineer from Dubai to Manchester, probably all in the process is £20,000-£30,000 overall, spread over several years.
South Asia is India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Predominantly this is India and Pakistan though.
> As an American I'm curious about this, can you expand on how this will happen or how you think it might happen?
Best guess, those software engineering departments with predominantly South Asian engineers will cease to exist, they'll buy real estate in London/Sydney which is a much better long term investment because London prices always go up.
Severance is also REALLY easy in the US compared to countries where actual labour laws exist.
Sales and Marketing will stay, they probably need that American presence, they don't need that in software engineering because the Internet exists.
This isn't a big deal for the larger tech companies other than a short term pain in the ass.
This is a large net negative for 3 sectors that I can currently think of:
- American (software) tech workers
- Healthcare
- Research / Postgrad
Medicine and Research are fairly self explanatory, however, why the American software tech worker?
Let's say you're Microsoft, you have large offices all over the world - instead of hiring in the US and making those departments in US offices bigger, you're going to instead hire in probably the following places:
- UK
- Australia
- South Asia
It means less focus in the US which eventually will just become sales and marketing only with perhaps some smaller department sized tech jobs.
Another great Trump strategy that appears to be helping the poor whites but actually shafts them.
Similar setup (not in a 1U). I have 3 Pi 5's in my AV rack with M2 and PoE Hats - they actually work fairly well and bonus? Don't need to power them. I could get a 1U enclosure but, it's fine.
The only issue is one of the PoE Hats fan is catching something (though nothing i can see), so on occasion it will need persuasion to be quiet
I work for a hedgehog based studio for their supposedly non existent mobile games arm albeit I don't work in engineering.
For us, it's a huge deal. It's that people have spent the best part of a decade working with Unity, their support and enterprise training is very good. Also we have a game out in December which is also Unity based.
As of yet we haven't made a decision on what to do but legal are looking at it, so, it's business as usual for now.
