Hi ! I have a question: does arma reforger run a 'wrp' file and does it have the same file/folder organization as a dayz folder?

open hedge
#

no, no

vocal frigate
#

I have the gman's face, is it possible that someone put it on a dayz 'npc' for me? I would put a suit on him and a briefcase in his right hand to make him say... um, mysterious things. hmmyes

so Google Authenticator syncs the otp secrets to my account, any idea how to download them on PC or something?

#

Any recommended alternatives to MS One Note? (inexpensive, preferably non subscription based). Evernote is too expensive.

shy perch
#

for fully free alternatives i couldnt find anything good

#

onenote pen support and overall experience is just too good imo

brisk inlet
#

no offense but we live in a generation of SaaS, there is soon no such thing as "non-subscription". In fact that is the industry's answer to "expensive license business"

#

Compared to what entire MS office package cost per month/year, evernote seems to be quiet expensive but I checked the industry standard and they all charge pretty much the same, good luck on that

#

according to my business peers and based on my experience I can only think of Evernote, Google workspace and Notion. 2/3 of them offer free entry level which is pretty much useless for active users and all of them start at 6, 8 and 12.- per month

#

I can only recommend to wait for yearly standard deals such as Blackfriday and abuse the fact that US deals are usually extended like that too. Whenever I say I would like to stay but I'm unhappy with your price, they either give you voluntarily 50% discount or you just wait for another Blackfriday deal or any other opportunity which usually gives you 60-70% discount

#

I do that for many softwares, otherwise I would indeed lose a lot of money

wooden tendon
#

is one note even good

#

what do you use it for?

brisk inlet
#

Lets say for students its good enough, if you insist it must be free and you have MS office package, well why not but even companies replace onenote for paid solution, so I suppose its worth their money

wooden tendon
#

I've never used this type of app before, so I'm curious on some example use cases

brisk inlet
#

There are just two morons in this software business giving me zero discounts, Adobe and MS, so I decided to change tactics again. We have no more students in our household, so that option died years ago. enterprise volume licenses are a thing of the past thanks to SaaS, companies don't have reserve licenses anymore. Now I hope my colleagues working there don't suddenly change job or get fired because I enjoy 90% discount thanks to them

school notes + prototyping

better than constantly buying notebooks

#

As a professional, I use it as my “brain”. Anything that needs remembering goes into OneNote.

#

It’s easily searchable by keyword, etc. I need a similar (but preferably free) product for home use.

shy perch
#

is the biggest problem the pricing?

supple nymph
#

Pretty much. Notion looks to be my best option at the moment, so will give it a “test drive”

shy perch
#

i meaaaan if its for home use... yknow

Thanks everyone. I'm giving Notion a try. It seems alright at the moment.

Anyone has his twocents on PowerDVD vs VLC? (Ignoring price plans)

open hedge

VLC is love

brisk inlet
# open hedge VLC is love

In other words PowerDVD has zero merit these days or anything they can still put on the table? 😆

#

Two of my friends struggle with VLC a bit and it seems they simply need "easier" HUI or whatever it takes to make them feel more comfortable

supple nymph
#

VLC +1

If cost is no factor, feel free to spend as much as you want.

brisk inlet
#

I have VLC too but I wonder if PowerDVD is any different, even if its HUI

#

Tbh I have no idea what makes those two friends struggle with VLC, I admit it's not the sexiest HUI or anything like Apple but I promised to check for alternatives

#

and tbh I see no such alternatives with reasonable price plans... (which is why I wondered what you guys think of it)

does anyone use comodo internet security? i'd love for a free all-in-one HIPS&app firewall, but the last time using it was a horrible exp

#

disregarding the HIPS feature, i'd love for something like its firewall. it works on the app layer just like windows firewall, but it can also enforce rules for apps in subfolders (windows fw cant)

why would you look elsewhere if windows has its own free ad-free solution? saves troubles unless you desire paid one

"but it can also enforce rules for apps in subfolders (windows fw cant)"

is there a way to display this part of windows taskbar on secondary screens? By default it's only shown on the main one but I'd like to see this on both when I have something full-screen opened in the main display.

#

gave up on such desires, it's a nightmare with MS since they introduced edge

#

the new ms office apps are polluted with edgewebview2 pumping your CPU 20-30% in idle status

shy perch
#

im guessing im on the classic office package because there isnt really anything like that

#

i mean theres cloud connectivity but its opt-in afaik

brisk inlet
#

nope, we either download from terminal server or directly from MS, no store involved but the new Outlook is a fucking mess

#

it doesn't work at all, if you delete edgewebview2, its broken, cannot be repaired, requires full reinstallation lol

shy perch
#

do u use the configuration tool or what

brisk inlet
#

If you don't have to, stay away from the new version, its a fucking nightmare

shy perch
#

pretty sure files generated from that tool is supposed to be more or less all-in-one

#

or like, no weird dependencies like that. but idk 🤷‍♂️

brisk inlet
#

I never saw it before either, must be one of the recent updates I did not pay attention to

brisk inlet
brisk inlet
#

tried to replicate the issue by trying new outlook once more again, it is the exact same result, doesnt work w/o edgewebview2, the old one does work so far

#

looks like i need to report this to EU watchdog again. ms can't be serious that they add some shit blowing up modern CPUs 20-30% just to satisfy their data theft

im glad to hear it

i tried these different apps for exact same taskbar on my 2nd monitor but it was so bad

#

im just gonna live with only having the date & time on the right hand side

brisk inlet
#

me too, ms is extreme with reborn-like update features that every change they deem an obstacle in their eyes is removed without warning

so im stuck with their vanilla crap for a while (until EU has their last say some time later)

Man I wish Stripe hired actual human beings as their support agents instead of relying solely on AI language models

brisk inlet
#

Is Stripe such a thing in your region?

#

I can only think of Adyen being the sole competitor of PayPal here

wooden tendon
#

they have great APIs but their support is hot garbage

#

I have a ticket with them that has like 50 replies, it goes like this:

  1. I report a frontend bug on one of their pages
  2. technical support bot sends me some irrelevant canned response
  3. I ask to speak to a frontend developer so I can explain it properly
  4. they ask me to explain my issue
    repeat from point 1
#

they even asked me for videos of the bug, so I made some, then a different agent gets in the ticket and sends another irrelevant crap response

#

like I say hey there's some javascript bug with form validation on your payments page when I use paypal as a payment option, then they tell me something like "I understand you are having issues when your customers pay with paypal, please contact paypal to resolve the issues" like they dont even bother reading what I say, or some language model just filters keywords and sends a canned response

#

I had such a nightmare with Czech dealer recently, fortunately no AI involved but no less trouble. 1st and last time I buy something from them

maybe responding to your VPN? 🤣

shy perch
#

i only expose the ip for the vpn connection itself so i can just use their internal socks proxy for things i need.

#

but maybe its using my vpn anyway at some point? no idea 🤷‍♂️

brisk inlet
#

I remember rare occasions in the past which resulted from bios/cmos battery down, windows time service fuckup, corrupted files, outdated files or software conflict/malware (this wont happen with proper security and no careless behavior)

cannot think of anything else aside from VPN triggering the automatic location change

has anyone here encountered the steam "content configuration unavailable" error while updating a game and knows a long-term solution? Deleting appinfo.vdf file helps only for a single time, every time Arma has an update (and other games sometimes too) I have to do that again

I am pretty sure it is not my drive's fault, I'm getting this on every other on my pc when I move or redownload games and they receive updates.

There are sometimes moments, where you realize how frickle all software is.

My SVN client is suddenly broken and crashes everytime I want to commit. But only on the project that I actually need to work on, other projects are fine?
Install an older version, still crashes.
Install a newer version, still crashes.
Clean uninstall and reinstall, still crashes.
Latest nightly beta build, still crashes.

Down the rabbithole, get the debug files for the latest beta and try to attach a debugger.
But how to attach a debugger to a program that you start from a explorer context menu and that crashes right at start..

Manually insert "Image File Execution Options" into the registry, to force the windows kernel to redirect any attempt to launch the program, and launch a debugger instead.
Run visual stdio, now I get all the options that would be passed from the right click menu and can launch a debugger.
Start it, instant crash.

Where is the crash... Microsoft shell32.dll. Mh curious, there was an automated windows update on the last shutdown before SVN stopped working..

Why is SVN calling into it? To load a file icon for a .sln (Visual studio project) file.
But not just any .sln file, one specific project.

I open the folder in explorer, there are other folders with .sln files, they are all fine.
I open the folder with the .sln that SVN was trying to load the icon for... Explorer crashes.

Okey, I apparently have a file in a folder, that crashes everything that tries to get its icon.
Its different from the other .sln files, despite being in a folder named "VS2022", its contents say its for Visual Studio 2010.

I want to get rid of the file, just out of interest I do a SVN revert, expecting it would crash because it loads and displays the same icon.
Hey it doesn't crash, and it just displays a empty icon.

Windows installed an update, that made my SVN client and explorer crash everytime it sees a file that has been there, untouched, for 4 years and has never caused issues.

  • alt+tab ignores me
    quiet stressful tbh

no concrete fix for the past 5 years or so

brisk inlet
#

no shit, we had to forcefully add ridicoulous workarounds until someone told us just to add 2nd layout and it stopped bothering till now

#

that issue was even worse than adobe

wooden tendon
#

yea it comes back for me anyway

#

sooner or later, it will be back

#

sometimes it takes a week sometimes a few months

brisk inlet
#

even though you add a 2nd layout?

#

That issue was persistent when I had just one layout installed

wooden tendon
#

the thing is I want one specific layout to be active at all times and the only way for me to have this is to not have any other layouts, but Windows will occasionally add another one

shy perch
#

i fixed that issue for myself after maybe 5 years of suffering with it lol

#

its a matter of removing the keybind that switches between kb layouts

#

never had it happen after doing so

I have no other solution, I would be still angry without 2nd layout 😂

Just learned about this today.

Anyone can without authentication just tell the driver "hey, please kill this process" and it'll do it..
Scary mess. So many possible issues in our computers that we wouldn't know about.

Has anyone heard new information about that Apex Legends cheat things where people thought Easy Anti-Cheat was hacked?
I'd like to know what actually was the cause behind that

Some news sites apparently assume its similar to this https://secret.club/2021/04/20/source-engine-rce-invite.html
Which is a very interesting issue, but how would that bug still be present 3 years later...
Though Apex uses a heavily modified source engine. Implying that backporting fixes might be hard.. and they released the game before that issue got fixed.. maybe

This is old https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/19/opinion/location-tracking-cell-phone.html
This is new https://netzpolitik.org/2024/databroker-files-wie-datenhaendler-deutschlands-sicherheit-gefaehrden/

Same thing.
German journalists got FREE location data from a data-broker. And used it to track soldiers and intelligence workers from their place of work, to the place where they shop, to their home, to the people they spend their weekends with.
All from free data, without even having a name.

Certainly something to be aware of.

If someone knows where you work, and you have GPS enabled on your phone. They can easily look at your workplace, see who's going in and out, and track them to their home.

Yet companies continue to claim that the data are anonymous. In marketing materials and at trade conferences, anonymity is a major selling point — key to allaying concerns over such invasive monitoring.

[...] With the help of publicly available information, like home addresses, we easily identified and then tracked scores of notables. We followed military officials with security clearances as they drove home at night. We tracked law enforcement officers as they took their kids to school.

#

speaking of data protection and privacy in reality:

  • voluntarily sending data to prominent data trackers such as Meta or Alphabet
  • posting all kind of activities on Insta, Facebook and whatever
  • carelessly using unprotected public WLAN because its free of charge
  • Apple fanboys believe their systems are 100% safe w/o security
    I believe EU is still the sole region that gives a dam about data protection and privacy. A few other countries are now trying to catch up in panic but what does it matter if both citizens as well as companies still do not care much about their own data security?
#

I wouldn't be surprised if most people who suddenly complain or suddenly show an outrage are as guilty as those data traders because they still continue to be careless or even voluntarily share their data with anyone

curious, does Win11 do anything better than Win10 now? Is there even a single reason that would make me consider the "upgrade"?

#

so far my only knowledge on 11 is that the new taskbar design sucks and Window's backward compatibility is ass because even Arma 3 has troubles running on it, and this has been convincing me that I should not switch OS even after support for 10 dies, but perhaps they managed to make 11 an actual, reasonable option

I've been using Windows 11 from the start and it suffers from the same problems Windows 8 had, but none of those problems were introduced by Windows 11

IIRC an useful side effect of this is that even if you are using a machine without admin rights, e.g. in a corporate environment, you can effectively install any fonts and use them as long as you keep a preview of the font files open. May have changed.

this reminds me of some software that caused 50 command prompts to pop up briefly one after another during install (i think it was one of adobe's before creative cloud). Not only it was annoying, at some point I managed to press Alt F4 to close something and instead I killed the cmd and installation process broke

one day I aspire to be rich enough to buy adobe and fire everyone that had anything to do with their installers flooding people's systems with garbage

lol

warped spire
#

there is no actual good way of increasing speed to internet besides getting faster line from ISP

#

but there is technically possible way to bond multiple VPN tunnels together on either end

#

and have multiple internet links

#

but it won't work well

#

latency hell

#

misordered traffic

#

etc

#

so not really realistically possible afaik

#

mostly theoretical

#

I think you can google people that experimented with it

#

now if you just want to show up as multiple clients

#

sub-interfaces

#

virtual switch/VM

brisk inlet
#

imagine inet w/o fiber lol

wooden tendon
#

actually I found out the isp modem router box thingamabob has wifi 6e so I can get 2 gbit without doing weird stuff

#

the agreement says max 1gbit per device but I think this is a safeguard in case the customer doesnt have hardware capable of going faster

#

or maybe because the box has 1 gbit ports, except wifi apparently

brisk inlet
#

in Switzerland they offered 10gbit fiber but their equipment was ridiculous at the beginning, while fiber and LAN ports were at 1gbit or 2.5gbit at best, wifi was already faster lol
two years later they replaced their modems with proper 10gbit fiber port

Google and Apple are getting bashed both in US as well as EU quiet often recently 🙈

wooden tendon
#

watch them pull out of the EU

#

what's the sales percentage apple has in the EU compared to other places?

#

having other stores is a good thing, I remember when publishing games on the play store, Google does everything in their power to hide smaller developers as long as big studios pay them for showing up in the featured sections

#

so it was impossible to get people to even see our game until we got a following on reddit and discord

That is true especially in countries such as Switzerland or Korea. People are simply superficial, bad social education

There are very few countries with other brands than Apple/Samsung dominating the market, even entire Europe (EU+non-EU) doesn't look any different. Apple is stable at 30-35%

Samsung at 30-35% too, all others share the crumbles of the cake

Hello everybody. My name is Eastman and I'm helping to put together a project I'm calling the "Milbooru." It will be a searchable archival website for military photos and videos. It will be based on a tagging system, where you add one or two word descriptors to photos based on what is inside of them. You can then include or exclude these descriptors while searching to find large groups of photos that match what you're looking for.

#

However, I am in need of a frontend dev for the project, with experience with a common frontend language (React, Angular, VUE.) If this sounds interesting to you, please reach out to me. I will happily pay you for your trouble.

too many missing core components, take windows store: yeah you can reinstall it through cmd, but ur at the mercy of MS and them not blocking you in the future

I've added other items into the right click shell menu. But not into the "New file" sub menu

You can also create it directly inside vscode which you'd probably be using anyway to edit the file

yeah my anger is badly directed, I still think there are things the devs of a tool can do to guide its users.
I think what angers me isnt exactly TAA, but its bad tuning and overuse in temporalization of effects such as reflections, shadows, lighting, particles...

They always lean towards something that is a smudgy mess. I shouldn't have to fiddle just to get a clear picture on my screen.

#

one more thing on my resume, you know?

#

it works well, just has its own quirks, just like gitlab does

shy perch
#

real

#

gitlab just drains like 10gb ram by default i think

warped spire
#

our gitlab instance only using 6GB atm and we've automated most of server management into it

#

fancy system of using pipelines to automate mod packing, container creation/updates/deploy for server, servermods, and mission

#

missions calls out to gitlab pipeline with options at gameend that trigger new container to be built and launched with mission/mod combo

#

can do incremental arma3 or mod updates through steam into image, and we pack mission/maps on changes to main mission repo to a package repository

#

so deploys pull in the package and uses the latest mission from it based on passed values

#

is cool

#

so decent amount of usage at 6GB seems fine to me

#

biggest thing is prob just the fact a lot of features are paywalled now

#

is my only problem with it

green escarp
#

which features do you want the most that are paywalled?

warped spire
#

the logging stuff

anyone here running a recent nuc with linux? wifi on 5ghz is so bad and i couldnt find much of use on reddit. except for the regular stuff like possible interference..
there was someone solving it with lowering the 5ghz channel width to 20mhz. but that caps the throughput :c

#

bought an ethernet adapter, because between troubleshooting this n setting up vlans, i cba anymore. but it would be nice to know why it acts up

#

it also just dispatches all of my devices on the router when it starts sending packets over wifi lmao

wooden tendon
#

and its good on windows?

#

sounds like a driver thing

shy perch
#

honestly havent tried. could test it later

#

but idk, drivers making the rest of my wifi devices blow their top off?

#

i havent even tried the wifi, up until now that i set up openwrt in a lxc container on the nuc

#

but im not sure if its something i should account for.. the only NIC i give the openwrt container is ethernet. host uses wifi

wooden tendon
#

it does sound weird

shy perch
#

gonna see what this does

#

seems like an issue with debian12, and backports got newer drivers? lets see

still gonna use ethernet when the adapter comes tmrw, but nice that this is fixed now at least

alright, nvm lmao. i think its genuinely just interference

ubiquiti has a good app for checking channel congestion

#

wifiman

#

can check from your phone what bands are being used by what/how many

well, turns out i get packet loss on ethernet too, so actually i think it was a problem related to LXC.. im trying openwrt in qemu right now, with PCIe passthrough of the NIC this time around. seems to be much better.

green escarp
#

Sounds about right

shy perch
#

im actually able to enable stuff like hardware flow offloading now that it is not just a software nic being exposed to openwrt

shy perch
#

so moving to openwrt in qemu helped a lot. but i still cant connect to my wifi from the nuc without also having it down the entire network lmao.
im guessing something weird is happening with the ARP cache in the switch. nothing i can really verify as i cant look at the arp table on this entry model switch i have

#

its so weird though, if i keep everything else connected to the wifi it works fine. but as soon as the nuc connects, everything stops working. disconnecting it from the wifi network doesnt help, i have to reboot both the router&switch

#

could very well be firmware related (i.e. firmware of switch and/or router)

wooden tendon
#

wats the wifi adapter

#

wonder if its some dhcp/static ip issue

#

see if you keep your network connection if you have a static ip

shy perch
#

oh ive tried both

#

i usually run static ip but i have tried dhcp also (with a static lease in place instead)

#

i googled the model of my switch (TL-SG108E) and i found like 100's of issues relating to VLAN and ARP packets lmao

starting to sound like a switch-issue lmao

there are like 100 layers to the issue which makes it really hard to troubleshoot tbh

everything works fine now with the usb ethernet adapter, there was just one final problem to solve: the tp link wifi router had kept its old static ARP bindings I set, even if i had now switched it to AP mode. it doesnt let u configure any ARP bindings in AP mode, so i had to switch back and remove the ARP bindings lmao

#

but ye, all good now. i added a redirect for ntp requests from my tp link smart switches, so that i can finally use them 100% without connecting them to their cloud servers

I'm amazed you have so much patience with tp link lol

I tossed that from board decades ago, never touched their stuff again

When I abstract RCON with a HTTP API, as in you can send a POST request that runs an RCON command for you, does it make sense to additionally require the RCON password within the POST payload, or should I fetch and cache the RCON password on my end? On one hand you already have the API token to access the API in the first place, on the other hand storing the RCON password, even if inside memory for a few minutes, seems a bit iffy in terms of security. thonk

Bacons speaking a different language, respect though fellow diver “remember the creek”

wooden tendon
#

Is it worth it? You already authenticate with the API token so you have the power to destroy the server in 3 seconds

#

It also includes fetching server config which has the RCON password LMFAOO but I kind of dont want to cache the RCON password in my backend

shy perch
#

just use port knocking or something for rcon access

#

best security there is

brisk inlet
#

security is such an annoying topic these days, its getting worse every year

wooden tendon
#

also I wonder if that by making the rcon password parameter required people using the API will just make a configuration request immediately followed by the RCON request, doubling API calls

if I was the end user I would probably do this

Hello, so i just tried to join some zombie server, downloaded all of the mods required for it, when i joined the server, the game crashed, alright, i have no problem with that, but now, whenever i run the game, at the intro where you have to press enter, the game just crashes

#

Tried verifying the game files also

#

So now my question is, is it possible to see the last downloaded mod files somewhere so i can delete em?

#

Because i dont want to delete my whole mods folder

#

I cant unsubscribe from the mods from inside the game, and i cant make it to the server browser to see what mods the server is running

#

Alright i managed to uninstall all of the mods that were installed today, but the game is still crashing...

There’s a Microsoft app called Terminal meant to hold tabs from the major TUI apps on windows 11

#

Cmd, power shell, LSfW all can have their windows appear inside Terminal

terminal does have a bunch of settings though regardless

but not sure if theres anything for that specific issue

I don't like the pricing but win terminal is a vital part of our systems since years too

wait, pricing?

shy perch

probably means the volume licensing of windows itself

#

apparently, as a small business, u cant even buy volume licenses from microsoft directly anymore?

I think they first renamed it to RDS, doesn't work without CAL for each end-point system and that again doesn't work without pro version. So yes, they rip you off with high pricing

# raw elbow Windows Terminal is open source under MIT license 😏

i think we were not talking about the same and that explains why ms decided to rename the whole terminal server thing to rds. looks like ms used the term "terminal" in a confusing manner just like amazon with "alexa" before. their web research company was shutdown after acquisition, for me a personal loss tbh, and the other alexa being the "AI" like Siri

#

one trademark for two different solutions

#

oh great, its even worse than alexa... "not to be confused with windows terminal back in the past" "not to be confused with hyperterminal" "not to be confused with windows console" 😅 ok wtf

#

so how the fuck do we distinguish this shit now lol

#

windows terminal server is now called remote desktop session host server, omg... cannot be any more complicated than that. dated back to 2020 and that pops up in their mind after releasing windows terminal together with win10...

is there a free tool for windows that will allow me to delete the boot EFI partition? diskpart doesnt let me

Why would you delete it?

wooden tendon
#

actually wasnt able to find any free tool that worked, all the "partition assistant" tools seem to be a virus or junk, the "trial" versions dont actually let me do anything

brisk inlet
#

Win disk manager is restricted and you cannot remove it with the given tools from MS, so it's obvious third party tools want some cash for that service. But still doesn't answer my question why you wanna delete it

shy perch
#

why do you need that info lol

#

im pretty sure you can enter recovery mode and use the cmd prompt there to delete it thru diskpart

brisk inlet
#

I don't need the info, tbh I couldn't care less but it makes no sense to stubbornly delete something that doesn't affect your system at all

#

What's the size, 100-200mb? And it only contains boot info

shy perch
#

but he is probably recreating it after

#

he needs it to boot in uefi mode lol

#

ive deleted it to change partition order, sometimes it puts the efi partition in awkward spots. optimally it should be one of the first partitions iirc.

Well I'm not fixated on epic big size primary disk drives, so I don't really have that issue. I suppse people with 4TB or higher disk will have such luxury issues later on

And if someone doesn't want to interact too much, Google and ChatGPT can help and they won't ask why you need it 😂

But I must say it was refreshing to read his approach so far 😆 Freeware ends up useless, virus or junk and trials deny him the feature. Well that is why trial versions are no longer fun because too many people try to abuse that loophole circumventing the license plans.

diskpart in cmd didnt let me do it

#

Problem is MS changed quiet a lot in the access structure recently, I cannot remember when I was forced to make use of the super admin console the last time except plenty of times on Win10

#

Remember, super admin not to be confused with admin, Windows does have a super admin but they don't like to communicate this openly

#

If the cmd "del part override" did not work, its most likely thanks to the new change from MS, restricting the normal admin account even further

wooden tendon
#

no its because it was a primary boot partition or whatever

brisk inlet
#

if its primary, you can use a bootable USB or SSD drive to open up the menu, go troubleshooter and go cmd from there

#

That's how I bypassed things

wooden tendon
#

no bios, console access

brisk inlet
#

oh fuck sorry I forgot what you wrote before

#

well in that case you do need super admin console first

#

That's the only way left

#

admin =/= super admin

#

are you allowed to boot that disk as super admin btw? I normally assume most people are 🙈

#

I know it's yet another annoying extra step in the world of Windows but I'm glad super admin can override pretty much everything MS imposes on you. Let me know if you or the tech guy tried out or tried differently

shy perch

i remember asking for like 20x30min kvm sessions in a week or something with hetzner

How many desktop OS do we have these days? Win, MacOS, ChromeOS (if this is even worth mentioning), some Linux such as Ubuntu and... that's it, isn't it?
It is undisputed and undeniable that Win is still the best choice for gamers and especially compatibility but it's simply just the "best" our dumb industry has to offer because competitors all failed. I'm especially very disappointed in Apple because they were so busy creating their super exclusive bubble ecosystem that they never bothered to make things compatible or more flexibel for professional users except their bunch of "creatives".

#

Linux tossed the responsibility to the community, so... good luck on this blobcloseenjoy

#

Just like Android which is based on Linux kernel, every other major custom solution based on same kernel must be open source and the custom part itself cannot be closed source or protected anyhow. So why would anyone ever pour time and money in creating something that all closed source competitors could copy the moment you publish it? They already have a market and customers, they are in no rush to do anything except adapt nice free ideas

Same thing in teamSpeak I believe, there's built in noise gate when to activate the mic.

flat garden
# chrome sable I am not really trying to noise suppress I want the mic to pick up when I'm talk...

Equalizer APO + ReaPlugs VSTs will work for that
It might be fiddly to get the noise gate set right, since it's a more complicated noise gate
https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/
https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/ reagate-standalone is the noise gate VST
You will need something to configure the VST, since Equalizer APO doesn't give visual feedback
I use OBS for configuring, just add VST 2.0 plugin as a filter and configure it

#

Basic setup in Equalizer APO would be something like:
Set device to microphone you want to noise gate
In OBS using the microphone monitoring,
Find suitable settings for the noise gate plugin
Add VST plugin to Equalizer APO and enter the settings you got from testing in OBS
One of OBS and Equalizer APO needs to have the VST folder added as a place to look for VSTs, don't recall which

Now we fixed it and most likely it was a windows-related bug at the end but turns out that issue started with amd card first in my case, others report they had that first with Nvidia, so no idea

#

My purchase with Dell started very badly, one of the screens having black screen in stand-by and unable to wake up except cold reboot after unplug, swapped and later Dell reported it was a firmware issue. Later after changing from Nvidia to AMD card, one screen on windows desktop sometimes flashes to blackscreen randomly for a second, a manual regfix solved it for now

then there are ones that cant be solved...

it took them a year to release a new firmware to fix the standby black screen issue and the windows issue is still unsolved by MS, Nvidia provided the exact same regedit fix by giving you a download of that entry to auto-install for people who're not comfortable with regedit

Except that and the poor precalibration, those Dell screens were really not bad at all
