I complained to my boss about a few Drupal drawbacks and caveats that bug me more, a sentiment that a few others on our team share. They offered us Drupal training. Well, let's see if it won't get lost in the bureacratic limbo.
But I fear most of our issues is due to lack of proper planning, intra-department communication, scope creep, bad requirement briefing, and the fact for the average use, Drupal is overkill.
Can I rely on Father's old desktop for light, everyday Web browsing, or should I just get an HP Stream 14 instead?
(This is for Mother, who only needs it for very light use.)
I don't really like the prospect of spending $120 on a Windows 10 license just to keep the machine in service for an unknown period of time before it fails (dating back to October 2007!), but my parents don't want to throw out working hardware.
Being a system primarily used by Mother, it's not my money that's being spent, but I don't want to wind up wasting money on something that will get replaced soon.
Then again, retail Windows 10 licenses are transferrable so I could bring that old eMachines desktop back to life...
I have RAPID Mode enabled. Doesn't really bring a big boost in most situations, but DOOM is so I/O-heavy (thanks in no small part to the game's huge textures) that RAPID Mode makes a significant difference in load times.
The addition of HTT to Pentium processors is a big deal because a lot of newer games expect four hardware threads and will perform poorly on a 2C/2T processor. Your thoughts?
Still no AVX, but anyone with a pressing need for these advanced vector instructions are probably going to be looking at Core i7s or Xeons.
I've seen first-hand that games can perform poorly or experience glitches when given only two hardware threads. A few will not run at all, from what I've read.
I was just wondering if the newer Stream 14 made sense. It's a Silvermont (Atom-type) Celeron which, while probably slower than the AMD K8, uses a tiny fraction of the power the desktop processor uses (6 W vs 89 W TDP!).
I doubt the performance difference is a huge deal. It won't have trouble keeping up with light Web browsing or productivity.
(2C/2T Silvermont/Braswell @ 1.60-2.48 GHz.)
Power consumption alone may very well be enough for the system to pay for itself given that electricity in NYC is not cheap.
