Reviews have me a bit scared of CPunk's launch state, though I knew from the delays that it was going to come in "hot" with tons of bugs and performance issues. CDPR would not delay a huge launch like they did so close to the goal line unless the game was in a state too embarrassing to ship. Tom's Hardware put out a performance guide and it looks like the game is going to be a resource hog like few other games other than Flight Sim. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/cyberpunk-2077-performance-preview Fingers crossed that it plays well, but I may delay playing it until 2021 to give them a chance to fix it up.

Angels in America I've heard from people for a long time that this is one of the best things HBO has ever done but I never got around to watching it before. Yeah... its pretty great. I don't think I've ever get tired of watching Al Pacino yell at people. Makes me want to see it on stage some day when our current plague is behind us.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Bryan!

RIP Maradona. One of the 20th century's most electric athletes. His highlights are as breathtaking today as they were back then. The goal of the century might also be the 20th century's best sports highlight. HBO's documentary on him from a year ago was great. https://www.hbo.com/documentaries/diego-maradona

10%!!!!! If you told me there was an interest paying bank account in 2020 I'd think you were pitching a ponzi scheme!

This will tide me over until Cyberpunk! Orchestral cover of crazy train does get one in the mood!

Happy birthday, div/0 error!

OMFG. It looks so good!

Heh. You got me! I officially put in to have 12/10 and 12/11 off. Don't screw me on this, CD Projekt!

M1 looks like an absolute monster and indeed delivers on Apple’s marketing. Is this the beginning of the end of x86 on mobile?!? https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-tested

New Acca-dacca isn't half bad. This won't stand up there with their classics, but it is quite listenable! AC/DC - Power Up

Finally got the upgrade to go through after dinner. Wow this Big Sur redesign is massive. People are going to flip when everything looks different all of a sudden. First impression is I really like the new design language. Everything just looks cleaner to me. A lot of clutter has been hidden away.

I also had issues opening 3rd party apps. Apparently they try to connect to Apple servers to request permission, and the servers weren't responding. Fix was to disconnect from the internet, open all the apps I needed, they turn the internet back on. 🤷‍♂️

Update failed for me, and seemingly for almost everyone else trying to download it. Apparently Apple is having server issues. Tomorrow it is!

I just need MS Office and Dropbox, both of which have always been ready for day 1 updates. I'm not reliant on anything exotic.

I have made the requisite sacrifice to the ghost of Steven P. Jobs. Please, Steve, don't brink my work computer!

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16226/apple-silicon-m1-a14-deep-dive ^ Wild article from Anandtech looking at the 5W A14 chip in the iPhone 12 trading blows in single threaded performance with the very best AMD and Intel have to offer ON DESKTOP. Man... reviews of these new M1 chips are going to be CrazyGoNuts fast if Apple delivers what they hinted at today.

Some really big claims, yeah. Can't wait to see what reviewers think. Also, everything today was the 4+4 chip. Presumably they also have 6/8/more? core chips in development for the big laptop and for desktop.

Happy birthday, Chris!

Happy birthday, Mikey! Slainté!

Older album of Lissie doing covers. I dig it. Lissie - Covered up with Flowers

It is hard to even think of someone so associated with their particular show or even their genre than Alex. Very sad to see him go. Jeopardy is/was always my favorite game show in no small part because of him.
