  • The update allows users to customize a hub with a number of movable widgets to enhance their gaming experience.

    The goal, ultimately, was to allow each kind of player to tailor their experience as they see fit.

    I don’t see how it enhances my gaming experience and cannot tailor as I see fit cause I cannot remove it.

    I usually turn on the console and play the last game, now the last game is not selected is the hub.

    Removed all the widgets I could because it was a lot of noise, and the three that remains still doesn’t provide nothing useful to me.





  • But the best part? It’s a $5000 work laptop, and my 6 year old Thinkpad (with Linux) runs laps around the thing any day of the week. Opening the file explorer takes, most of the time, 5+ seconds…

    In my previous job I was doing Java development on e-commerce (Hybris, then renamed to SAP Commerce) and the laptop (a beefy thinkpad) took ages from powering on to being able to work, also Java compilation could take 30 min and just starting up the project on local another 5.

    Had the opportunity to install Linux (the policy was that dual boot was required and don’t disturb IT with Linux issues) and oh boy, from turning on to being able to work was incredible fast. Compiling went from 30 to 5 min (with same Java official version from oracle in order to avoid any implementation discrepancies between openjdk and the oracle JDK in prod), and starting tje local server went from have enough time for preparing a coffee to seconds.

    Unfortunately my current job only allows Windows and the policies are too strict.
