Probably uniq -u is going to be usefull

or install new one
and which one?
wheat plume
Probably uniq -u is going to be usefull
yeh, gave multiple results
I looked into sort and that worked when I piped it before uniq

any other OS comes with a functional one
why is it so hard to make one that just has working features even when the featureset is simple

it's just cpu/mobo
uninstalled anything intel and tried to delete ghost drivers
also I can't access motherboard drivers/bios updates on the MSI website anymore, nothing is loading

is it an install with MBR or GPT? if its still mbr might be wortha clean install, as pcie4 features like re sizeable BAR needs GPT

and live update isn't finding anything either
I don't know, I'm at work atm. how would I check?

uhh, was it an upgrade from win7 or a clean win10 install?

why can every other desktop besides windows keep the blur when the window loses focus?
even windows 7 kept it
ashen spindle
blur? you mean transparent effects?
ashen spindle
yeah usually if a window unfocuses that's because I do something in another so I definitely don't look at the window border of the previous one
wheat plume
I screenshotted the window border cause it was easiest rn
I mean anywhere with acrylic blur
the side panel for settings, etc
ashen spindle
uhh, why would you even have transparent areas there?
like, why would you want to see whats below the window you are using 
wheat plume
cause the acrylic effect
crimson wigeon
I think it's for performance reasons and to make the focused window stand out a bit
wheat plume
performance, hmm
ashen spindle
I mean win win7 it would often disable Aero when under load
bc transparency isn't a cheap effect to do
crimson wigeon
Eh with modern compositing basic ass transparency without any blur is basically free

ehh, given on what shit system it still has to run on

I managed to get in 100$ through customs without any issue since they wrote 30$ ...
That sometimes works - But that's illegal and most reputable retailers won't dare this any longer due to fees or blacklisting. Also customs will do occasional spot checks.
This is why most packages are proxied through the Netherlands now.
ivory geyser
What do Netherlands have to do with it?
reef patrol
They are more lax. Ali sellers send to a Dutch proxy, relabels and reships.
Suddenly the package is coming from within the EU.
ivory geyser
So basically they are dodging the taxes by shuffling it around like hot potatoes.
reef patrol
Yep. And I hear it's causing a lot of delays.

Also ! SHOE - ON - HEAD

it's a tradition of theirs to only care for the money and not the damage
how do you think the Iroquois got guns in the 1600's?
not like they could make 'em and the french wouldn't sell to them
but the dutch did

I, for one, am glad that we have Netherlands - I am getting my keycaps and switches without a tax I think
