@lauriewired I had a CUDA workload that ran 10% faster when I turn on my Bluetooth headphone. Ended up tracing it back to the way interrupts were handled by windows.

A open secret is that all cameras are basically the same. Just look at the sensor.
Leica SL2-S? IMX410
Sony a7 III? IMX410
Lumix S5II? IMX410
BMCC6k? IMX410
Same photosites…but they still manage different feels.
The processing pipeline is where it gets interesting.

@Chasing_Nemesis We'll you could ... And it would still render on an 8gb gpu

Finally, Cycles GPU Texture caching is coming! Blender is here to save us from the GPU and memory apocalypse.

@CGObaid Good memory! Here you go! x.com/i/status/18007…

Here are some surprising things I've learned on my journey to reduce memory consumption in #b3d #cycles: 1. Image format or size on disk does not matter. It's all about resolution*bit depth. This means 8bit greyscale png uses 1/3rd the memory compared to an RGB png.

@themikepan I believe you had posted a thread of optimization tips in Blender, I can't find it. Could you share that please?

Justin Bieber now understands UI / UX fundamentals better than Apple
It's been a weird year
Justin Bieber@justinbieber
If I hit this dictation button after sending a text and it beeps and stops my music one more time, I’m gonna find everyone at apple and put them in a rear naked choke hold Even if I turn off dictation I somehow hit the voice note thing The send button should not have multiple functions in the same spot

@JonLampel Switching kids or distros? The former might be a bit more difficult.

@themikepan And yet it reminds me that I should try switching too...

@pa_furijaz @lucianomunoz_ Yeah, I considered Rocky but ultimately I just need Blender so... Anything could have worked.

I have another brilliant idea: The zip utility in Windows is fairly slow. Why not just pre-extract all the zip files in the background? This way the user can access every compressed file instantly.

Microsoft admits File Explorer is slow in Windows 11, and it’s going to preload it in the background to help improve launch performance. “This shouldn’t be visible to you, outside of File Explorer hopefully launching faster when you need to use it,” Microsoft confirmed. If you don’t want Windows 11 to preload File Explorer, you can uncheck the option called “Enable window preloading for faster launch times” in File Explorer’s Folder Options under View. File Explorer is still snappy on Windows 10, but the modernized Windows 11 version also brought slower performance. This change is rolling out to Windows Insiders.

@gabriel_d_L It lost 5% overnight. So it's not Mac-level good, but I can live with it.

@themikepan Have you had any issues with sleep? I remember linux on my old laptop would drain the battery while idle/sleeping
(that said, windows has the same issue xD )
