    I guess there is no "Server" for the rest of us.
    ...
    Just buy a Synology NAS. Does everything you want with an easy to use interface somewhat like the old Mac OS X server.

    Ironically Victoria is the most socialist state in Australia. The peeps are just cogs in the State machine.
    Yeah its really awful to live in Australia. Universal health care, no guns, generally high standard of living, only a small homeless population, voting rights for all. It sucks!

      Many European resorts have runs that include glacier skiing. Go off piste without a guide … and this happens.

    Other car manufacturers have already caught up to Tesla in terms of quality/battery/charging/styling etc. As for the AI part, Tesla's driver assist tech is arguably a waste of time since the driver is supposed to be paying attention to what the car AI is doing, which isn't really that different from simply driving the car without AI. 
    Other car manufacturers have definitely NOT caught up to Tesla in terms of battery technology.  They continue to lag in electric motor design, safety, and AI.  Egregiously, the ICE manufacturers currently in transition have chosen to retrofit BEV technology in auto frames designed for ICE.  Idiocy.  Driven by cost saving bean counters no doubt.

    I am very interested in what Lucid, Rivian, and the other new BEV entrants have to offer.  But until they get through their own version of "production hell" it's all talk and no action.  The ICE makers of old are still acting like dinosaurs.  I've been watching them for four decades.  It's the same-ol'-same-old.
    Many of the new EVs are better than what Tesla produces. In particular Kia EV5 and EV6 and the VW ID4 are often rated higher than the Tesla 3 and Y. The Model X is an ugly joke.  The Porsche Taycan is  much more appealing than the Model S.  Seen the "buzz" about the VW Buzz? Elon concentrates too much on making his cars "ludicrously" fast and smoking weed while illegally manipulating the stock price, rather than improving his cars appalling build quality.

  • Blender update adds support for Metal GPU rendering on Mac

    looplessloopless
    Apple dropping support for openCL is the bad old Apple who wants to do their own thing and screw industry standards. Intel has developed a new standard for GPU computing called OneAPI which allows developers to write one code base and target all types of GPUs and FPGAs. Apple should swallow their pride and get on board.
