What laptop actually uses that? The fact that it barely gets used for that does not bode well. The Surface Pro 3 and 4 both seem to be veritable productivity machines. They really streamline the various input options into something that is easily usable in the field. Even though the experience is far from flawless, it really is one of the few product lines that is still trying to innovate and succeeding quite well too. Microsoft does not just add features because they can and it is good advertising, but because they think it will improve life at school or in the office. Personally, I am really impressed by the possibility of recording a lecture or meeting while you make notes. You can play back the audio, while OneNote indicates what notes you were making at that point in time. The most amazing features, however, are the option of searching through the spoken text. That still blows my mind. Converting handwriting to text is fairly neat too. OneNote did these things quite a while now, but the Surface Pro and Surface Book really are what makes it come to life. The two are almost perfect together. Even though I seriously disagree with the cloud styled ambitions of Microsoft, the Surface range really is exciting. I am very curious what the Surface Pro 5 has to offer, since every new generation so far has improved significantly upon the previous.

I gather even a large percentage of the profit is not going to make you a rich man. Sueing people, however, is going to make you a poor man.

This. Unless money is limitless, which is not suggested by the desire to make use of a discount, you will need requirements and boundaries.

Unless you have a chipset that runs on steam, you will never come anywhere near 650 watt It would be fairly surprising if you ever even got past 333 watt. That is, with full overclocking on both and doing unrealistic torture tests. The real life number is probably a lot less that that. It would not surprise me if your realistic number would be 1/5th of your PSU rating. That is not even taking into account that CPU and GPU probably do not even touch 30 watts idle. Of course, your hard drives will add to that, but considering power supplies are least efficient when barely loaded, it is not the place you want your PSU to be hovering 99,8% of the time. There is a reasons all those fancy graphs will not show what's below 20% Finally, having 200 watt headroom only makes sense if you seriously consider upgrading to multiple cards in the near future. Having that much room to play with made sense 20 years ago, but nowadays even the high-end stuff could be powered by a few mice having a marathon in a wheel. I happened to test one of the higher end Skylake systems just a few days ago and it did a whopping 11 watt when idle. Even a proper laptop chip just 2 years old gets humiliated by those kinds of numbers. Do not get me wrong, I do not want to rain on your parade or anything. It just pains me to see people buy IT'S-OVER-9000-PSU'S when they could have saved some cash and would end up with a better balanced system to boot. Yeah, that makes sense. Just sneeze and your VM's will eat up all of your RAM.

Oh dear. It looks like you have still deeper to go into the rabbit hole. What is your typical workload? The CPU and GPU power seem a bit unbalanced for gaming, but you do mention that your games are not too graphics heavy to begin with. The RAM also suggests you do other things. What are you doing that requires all that RAM and CPU cores? Also, what made you get a PSU that is at least triple of what you will ever actually use?

This opening post tells me nothing. Come on, we talked about this.

I disagree. People were trying to find out more about the heavens all the time. The fact that their understanding of it was totally wrong does not change the fact that their hunger was the same. The advance of technology does not change much either. People wanted to understand, wanted to know, sometimes even go there in the metaphorical or physical sense. It is just that our capabilities only recently got to that point.

The plight of the creative trades. There rarely is demand that is not met already. You need to conquer your spot.

I feel it is important to show that our understanding of what is out there is continuously evolving and adapting to what we know. That in turn helps people to understand that our current view is far from perfect and subject to change if the evidence leads us there. We know a bit about various objects, though far from everything. However, the relation between space and time, time itself and how they all behave around less intuitive objects like black holes and things like dark energy are subject of much confusion and debate. We do not even know whether time actually exists. Of course, depending on who is listening, you might want to leave a lot of the latter out as not to confuse things too much. It will be good to prime the audience with the notion that everything can and should be questioned and that our path follows the evidence. Our understanding and exploration are intertwined. We learned a lot about the Moon's lopsided gravity when our early lander turned out to be off course.

I think it was Dubious firing leads to all sorts of conspiring

You are free to end the speculation. Others can decide for themselves. Trivializing the matter will not help anyone.

Nothing they say can mitigate the situation. Only words from the people who left can do that, but they seem incapable of providing any comment. Squad could only help the situation by publicly relieving former employees of NDA restrictions regarding the work conditions. Anyone knows that a case cannot be judged until both parties have been heard. We do know that one party seems to have the upper hand in deciding who is heard. We have heard nothing to take away the worries concerning the people who left. We have heard no denial that these people are not allowed to speak. We have only heard everything is right and dandy within the remaining team. We have not even heard any of the previous employees respectfully declining to comment. They appear to have disappeared from the face of the Earth. Of course, it can be considered a courtesy not to comment on employees that left. I would do the same and can only applaud that. However, not commenting on employees does not mean not communicating about the situation at all. That goes for both sides. It would be so easy to defuse the situation if nothing is wrong. Nonsense. Everyone knows acknowledges these things. However, Roverdude did not leave. The only story we have heard is coming from Squad or people still associated with them. Even though I believe the that Roverdude is sincere, the story remains very one-sided that way. This has lead to suspicions and will lead to continued suspicions.

Why do you imagine that? The community has the right to be critical. If people feel they have not been presented a representative portion of the facts, why should they have to act as if that is the case? Squad seems to be the one who controls the facts here. What we have gotten so far is fairly sparse. We have heard the story from one side and a deafening silence from the other. No attempt seems to be made to clarify or explain things. Squad is under no obligation to explain themselves, but it seems to hurt them ever more not to do so.

No, you cannot. If you could clarify your intentions and user case a bit more, however, we might be able to help you with a suitable and responsible solution that matches your technical skill set. As you have not been on-line since you asked this question, it might be better to hold off any more solutions until we know more about your case. Most people that know a bit about IT do not feel comfortable handing people potentially harmful techniques without knowing the background of the question.

The typical NDA or even rather restrictive NDAs do not usually limit positive comments on previous employers. Quite the contrary - positive comments are generally encouraged. Not having any response from anyone begs the question whether we are seeing an NDA canary here, where no news is bad news. Another option would be that the folks that left do not want to comment on the matter as not to hurt their future chances of employment, though that would not explain why we have not heard anything at all, except when those comments would be bad. Just like we have no obligation to keep quiet and accept a currently one-sided story as being the full truth. Community support is a big part of what made KSP a success, so informing your community seems to be the prudent thing to do.

Has the community heard from any of the developer that have left so far? I have seen a number of communications, but they tend to be by Squad or people that still work with Squad. Nothing works better to distract people than a good old fashioned riot

You just were.

Who is we and us? You do realize you are posting to an international forum, right? Not just a Mexican one.

That was true for the previous one, but sadly not for this one. Modders can (at least here) only support the Android version the manufacturer supports with any decency. Beyond that, things work not so well. There even is no 64-bit ROM, while the hardware actually is.

Buying cheap phones can work out wonderfully. I have used my previous smart phone for 4 years, which is a really long time for a smart phone. It was a phone you could buy for around a 100 dollars. The most important part is having a good community that actively develops new ROMs for it, as that is what enabled me to use the phone for such a long time. My current phone is fine hardware wise, but the software development has stalled completely. Even the manufacturer stopped supporting it while it was still being sold. That is much more of an issue nowadays, as security issues mean that it has become fairly unsafe to use. Of course, expensive phones do not get wonderful support either. It is sadly rare for any Android phone to be supported much more than a year.

It does not seem to be intended as an insult. It is logical tempers will get a bit heated, but I see nothing wrong here.

If a developer lives and works in another country, which is known in a number of cases, you can be pretty sure they do not work and live in Mexico. Also note that the rules are very broadly stated. There are plenty of rules in there that can be applied if the need is there. For instance: Disagreeing can be considered confrontational.

Why do you gather this many people left in such a short time span? The Iraqi Minister of Information says nothing is wrong. Please, people, nothing to see here. Return to your houses that are only slightly on fire. Don't take this too seriously, it is just a joke.

It would be a bit too easy if you could circumnavigate these kinds of agreements by hiring someone to do it for you, or having someone contribute. Squad is the owner of the product and the IP and the result of any deals and negotiations after their public statement is their responsibility too. The statement they made is the statement they made. Which deals are made with what party after that are of no influence. The fact that Squad made a deal with a third party does not excuse it from having a deal with someone else. At best they have two contradicting deals, which they somehow need to honour. That is an interesting discussion, and hinges on whether a version for a different platform can be considered an update, DLC or expansion. I think they are two different discussions, though. Having a slightly expanded version of the same game on the same platform is undeniably part of the promises made. The fact that a third party got involved changes nothing about that.
