  • I sorta feel like there was a significant dropoff after the first generation that included ddr4 and pcie4 unless you specifically except for GPUs if you specifically used the RTX features in terms of real-world performance* in the higher end consumer desktop side. I rarely had issue with my i7-4790k setup and it was a ddr3/pcie3/limited nvme support generation. Only replaced it last year because the mobo died.

    *Based entirely on my own use cases.





  • Personally I get around by ebike or car. My work is nearly 15kms away, so walking isn’t feasible but it’s a great distance for ebike . And public transport isn’t an option. I bike a good chunk of the time, but occasionally have to pick up stuff for my job and most weeks I visit my parents, which are over 60kms away and regularly need help now that they’re getting older. So I drive at least once a week and don’t think there’s a realistic way around it with my current job.






  • If you cycle regularly though, you’re probably more prepared to deal with the push and pulls from the air of a large vehicle passing (which they can still surely feel, even if they don’t have to deal with maintaining their balance) and better at maintaining your line. Someone who just never cycles would probably have a lot harder time dealing with both of those so the bus would need to pass further away to make it equivalent, but then you wouldn’t really get that effect of having a wall right next to them. Either way is missing part of the experience.
