Oh my, the modern web is so bloated/overloaded.
My Thinkpad x260 (Yoga) is dying while playing a Youtube video... let alone dropping a lot of frames.
I know, the CPU is older (i5-6200U) but come on - this is crazy.I've set the notebook up to play around with #FreeBSD on the desktop some more. Running #Xfce currently and having some dev stuff installed.
#FreeBSD handles the notebook like a champ, everything works... sadly that is not the same for using the web with a modern browser.
720p playbook loads up the CPU at a constant 50/60%.
Well, at least surfing the web is kinda ok... but not great tbh.Times really have changed... for the worse in some aspects.
I still remember surfing the web back than with a tiny AMD single core CPU - which was more then enough.Enough ranting.

The x260 is a nice laptop for sure!
Yeah, same here. Thermal shutdown so far has been avoided - the CPU still manages quite well.
But of course: One can feel the weight of the "modern" web.
The bloat is on another level nowadays... sadly.
We should go back to text only websites in pure HTML and a little CSS - at most some pictures. That would fair us all a lot better.
Let alone the massive e-waste created by planned obsolescense...
Well, the world we live in sure is crazy! -

Indeed, a great machine for sure!That would fix quite some of the problems we face. I see all these cheap laptops at work which are obsolete when they leave the factory (We don't recommend these... but customers want cheap stuff always - sadly)
Gemini would be a great alternative!
The e-waste debacle is sadly too real.
Maybe someday we will all own modular/hackable devices that don't get obsoleted when sold.
Well, we can dream at least 🙂

@zaebucca it's really cool, well done! Is it your recorder or the framrate is low?

I've been playing around with Crocotile 3D!
Here's a little basic scene with my pixel art asset packs. :'P

We report: we chance a last look at the sky before going to sleep, out of habit. We think we know it will be too cloudy to see anything, but we can never go to bed without a last look. We remember why that it is upon seeing the stars. A bit of fog moves between constellations.
