Well, this is so typical of people who just see employees as numbers. How is it possible that a company thinks they have an overemployment problem? Doesn't it mean that the whole company's management is a pile of crap?

Just build your team on people who care, who have time and will to do 1on1s and who can build a culture of trust in your company. Then you will not need to waste money on an algorithmic whip.

Now, if someone comes up with an AI budy who helps with 1on1s and helps to build a culture of trust in a company, let me know, anything else is just waste of time and money solving problems created by crap management.

I bought mine a month ago and I am very happy with it so far. The efficiency is very impressive.

I had number of Windows laptops including 2 versions of the earlier Surfaces before and this one finally somehow feels like not having issues with running the OS. If I need Linux, I run WSL on it and it even runs Unreal Engine simple scenes in editor on 60 FPS so I can prepare my lectures on it in the train without needing to use the charger.

Elite, the original one, on Commodore 64.

So at the end I took the risk, bought the Surface Laptop and tried Unreal Engine on it. The result is that it runs fine. With mobile rendering preview it runs stable capped 60 FPS in the 3rd person template project and that is all that I need.

Yes, that is the one I mentioned in my post. It looks alright, I am just checking if I find any confirmation.

 

I have always been a fan of Microsoft hardware, I currently own Surface 6 and am quite happy with it. However, due to circumstances, I will need to present simple project in Unreal Engine 5 in 6 weeks time and have no portable machine to run it on. So I am thinking about buying a new laptop and preferably it would be the recently released Surface Laptop with Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-78-100). I have found one YouTube video showing Unreal Engine Editor presumably running on the machine with 30 FPS. I know that the hardware is not a gaming one and I don't plan to use it like it but I would love to use it for my UE presentation. Does someone here have a Snapdragon X Elite machine who can confirm that Unreal Engine 5 is usable on it for simple projects?

I am afraid there is nothing like minimalism when we talk about mobile phones. It is basically all or nothing. I mean, it seems like everybody only thinks about social media apps but I don't care about social media, I want my phone to run apps that control my smart home appliances, contain my public transport tickets, my ID card, my air tickets and other such convenient stuff. Most of these apps basically only exist for iOS or Android and some of them only work when downloaded from the official stores. So any phone achieving minimalism by using custom OS is just unusable for me and is equal to a dumb phone.
