I just want to hear the Germans pronounce it.

 

Do you want me to read it to you?

 

Bedtime stories with @perplekks45 where he reads the literary works of @Gareth Halfacree

Sign me up! Who doesn't want to learn German and how to use Pi at the same time?

 

Which member of the royal family did you call out in the translated version?

 

Say after me: Garet H Half Acre eeeee!

 

Surely just run it through Chat-GPT. I'm sure it will give a very accurate translation

 

That's what a bot would say.

Hmmm. Gareth, your not a raspberry-pi-bot are you?

 

German Gareth Halfacree has the same name as the Yorkshire one ! Wonder if they look like doppelgareths ?

 

For those of you fans of anagrams, hopefully no “Reflag Heartache” for “Gareth Halfacree”.

 

Got to keep your strength up for those deadlines

 

Half-a-CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee

 

You mean it's not half-acre?

 

Party on Garth...

[Before Gareth reaches for the banhammer... I should make it plain that I am, of course, joking...]

 

Very chilled weekend spent at home, perfect timing because it came coupled with a very strong weekend of sales.

5-10 per day would be considered a good day for me, that’s when things are ticking along nicely.

So I was pleasantly surprised to knock out 18 sales yesterday followed by a substantially better 35 sales today!

into the savings with you!!

 

Playing Hogwarts via Parsec on the Mac running remotely on a Win11 VM hosted via ProxMox on my Homelab / Server...



Performance is roughly 10-20% behind a 4070FE running natively with a current gen CPU. Not bad though considering this is via a VM and the CPU is Zen 2 running at ~ 3.2Ghz (with 2666MT/s DDR4).

~70FPS at 1440p Ultra Settings no Upscaling.

Annoyingly I cannot get the game to get past the warning screen when running it natively on the Mac via Crossover. It *should* work but for whatever reason it just doesn't.

Also messed about a bit with Destiny 2 over GeForce Now Ultimate Tier. If I didn't know it was running remotely (and I used a USB-C hub for my mouse), I would not be able to tell it wasn't running natively.

All of the above is over WiFi as well. Can only get better via Ethernet.


Best bit of all though... Complete silence from the Mac.... It has a cooling fan (or two, can't remember with this specific model) but I have yet to hear it spool up.

Tried similar on my Ally (docked via XG Mobile) and even running via GeForce Now the Ally still had its fans running. They were quiet but audible if you listened for them. Kind of interesting tbh and its likely windows and/or Armoury crate deciding to run the fans even though there is no need - like it needs to keep the temps down aggressively.
