ashen spindle
to quote 2015
This is really the idea of Windows as a service, and the notion that Windows 10 could be the last major version of Windows. Microsoft could opt for Windows 11 or Windows 12 in future, but if people upgrade to Windows 10 and the regular updates do the trick then everyone will just settle for just "Windows" without even worrying about the version number.
zenith sonnet
Version numbers sell, though
cursive summit
Isn't Windows 10 being EOL'd by 2025
And do they mean Win 10 including Win 11 in this case
old marlin
Isn't Windows 10 being EOL'd by 2025
depends on future updates
since updates have EOLs
not the whole OS
ashen spindle
well, if they do switch to calling the next update win11 instead of 2H21 or so, win10 will effectively have an EOL
nothing really changes, just a change from going 10->11 instead of 10->10.1
cursive summit
Thing is, with how you can literally go all the way from upgrading from Windows 95 and prior to Win10 and it'd still work

Performance is going to suck but you get infinite lanes

So you’re forced into the DDR5 space, then.

Either that or you need to actually start with a rack.
Offload your SSDs to a fibre NAS, that kind of thing.

At that stage you have to upgrade or rack it, man.

Well actually
Tr doesn't have any boards that fit the bill either
Tr pro does but not stock threadripper

Who the fuck goes stock TR...?

Anyone who wants to overclock

If you’re going TR do it properly or use a better solution.

Which also is me

Generally speaking they’re pretty far into the enterprise space, everything there is expensive.

hmm who could the yellow vendor A with ARM offering be that is compared here <:k...
A = AWS
B = Azure
Keep in mind Graviton has no SMT. Tau is also running with no SMT. But Azure is running SMT (so 16 cores vs 32 cores).
It is not really a comparison of the hardware, but of the cloud offering (Azure doesn't have SMT-off instances). You are buying X "vCPUs" which are threads.

"Tesla had a culture of working 12 hours a day to make it look like you're working" yup sounds accurate lol

Their cars have a TERRIBLE rep for hand-craft fabrication issues 😄
So... clearly aren't working hard enough...or overworked.
astral haven
Their cars have a TERRIBLE rep for hand-craft fabrication issues 😄
Well no, they are assembling their card with lots of different robots, and they are having a ton of trouble coordinating them
The bodywork is fully automated
reef patrol
Nope.
Someone shared a video about a Youtuber who backed their (dad's?) Tesla into a garage. So they took it to a licensed repairshop, where they kind of did a mini-documentary on the process.
And one of the main repairmen had ... some thoughts about the different Tesla models and some very common mistakes they made during fabrication and assembly. Like bad hand welds, missing seals and so on 😄
astral haven
Robots are very very very complicated
Most other automakers are in the 70-80% range for comparison

Are the new PBT keycaps good?

Why this gif
because confusion

Ok... Because of my question i imagine

Maybe someone had tried the keycaps, and could tell us how good they were
Or maybe all PBT are the exact same, i don't know

question: can you install windows completely automatically (with no input from user at all)
gonna have to install windows on 20 pcs and i REALLY don’t feel like clicking anything at all
cursive summit
Ehh not that I know
reef patrol
Yep.
cursive summit
They really want your cortana agreeement
reef patrol
You can either use tools to pre-configure each step.
Or you can do it once, make a bare image and just paste it on every PC.
misty saffron
hm, this is actually a good idea
reef patrol
NTLite and such are your friend.
misty saffron
even better, i can probably just install it on a vm first
reef patrol
If you want a super basic install. Keep that internet unplugged so Windows Update doesn't get a chance to install PC specific drivers.
Clone, paste, boot up that first bootup.
misty saffron
i think i’ll just make vmware use a physical drive then clone them
all pcs are gonna have nvme drives so that has to be quick
thanks
now i need to hope my pc’s motherboard supports pcie hotswap
not having to reboot between cloning drives would be nice
crimson wigeon
misty saffron
i doubt that supports enabling rdp though
need that on each pc
and doing that manually will suck
crimson wigeon
You can then use audit mode to create your own image with your own custom stuff that you need
misty saffron
sounds like a pain to figure out for something i’ll only do one time tbh
unless it’s super easy
crimson wigeon
True pepelaugh
misty saffron
i’ll just clone the drive 19 times
256 gb drives at nvme speeds doesn’t sound bad
oh and i can just make a small partition and then extend it
perfect

This is getting better by the minute

Who in their right might even buys these things any more?
hard thicket
fucked up
shadow minnow
Yeah. Especially since it’s in paid games
If it was just free games, then fine I guess, but in games you paid for, they want to show you ads, without telling it to you in advance too
hard thicket
in free games, i wouldn't even mind aslong as the ads are not like obnoxious
chrome estuary
More reasons to never get a quest until jailbreaking it is a perfected science.
hard thicket
with this, jailbreaking attempts will increase i bet
shadow minnow
I mean, can they even legally do stuff like that to not new customers when they did not inform you of it when buying quest and the games in advance? I guess they can but still sucks.
chrome estuary
They can just hide it in microtext in their TOS and since you bought it, you're fucked.
chrome estuary
And they can pull out if any market that disagrees with them.
Telling that part of the world to fly the coop into the sun
shadow minnow
Tbh I think that some lawsuit could have chance. If they didn’t put it in TOS in advance, they may be force to not show ads to people who bought oculus and games before the TOS change
hard thicket
well who in the gaming community has enough wealth and power to try a lawsuit against FB
chrome estuary
^
hard thicket
we are fucked, except they manage to piss off another corporation
chrome estuary
You could bring the news to someone like Video Game Lawyer or whoever is around in the community like him. I mean just for curiosity sake but yeah, no one is going to try and challenge this without such a massive push back and even then Facebook will send out a report like, "We hear your complaints but we have made up our mind to sacrifice your first born for your oculus."
hard thicket
The only hope might be the EU getting into this as they did in the past with things like EA ripping people off an such
chrome estuary
Oculus would just pull out of the EU market
chrome estuary
Yeah remember how the EU told apple they need to use a normal USB type?
So apple made Lightning
hard thicket
they had lightning before EU told them tho
chrome estuary
Hmm
hard thicket
but they still didn't do shit
chrome estuary
Maybe I'm thinking of something else then
hard thicket
All that the EU does is talk
zenith sonnet
Dunno about the rest of the EU, but the Oculus Quest 2 is actually not sold in Germany because it does not conform to German laws
hard thicket
wut ???
i've seen the oculus in the german stores
yes
quest 2
yes
i can even find some in the online shops in germany so idk whats going on
zenith sonnet
Well, technically you can also buy it anywhere in the EU and have it shipped to you
halcyon moss
Yeah remember how the EU told apple they need to use a normal USB type?
they said you'd have to use a accepted standard (normal usb) charger/cable

Yeah that was it

Who would have thought MAGNETS could cause issues with MAGNET devices 😄
wheat plume
Its obvious once you think about it
ashen spindle
well, apple's official statement claims it's the same as for older devices
wheat plume
but its not something you think about
ashen spindle
nono it's something people were worried about day 1 hence apple did say it makes no difference
they also tested other brands and found the same issue obviously
reef patrol
Lesson 1 : Never trust the manufacturer. 😄

don't trust claims that would cause changes in sales 😛

Truly, the science in that sentence.
Who could have possibly known? :P

"Our case series has several clinical implications," continues the report. "People often put their smartphones in a breast pocket over a device which can be in close proximity to CIEDs [cardiac implantable electronic devices. This can lead to asynchronous pacing or disabling of antitachycardic therapies."
People often put their smartphones in a breast pocket
who in the flying fuck does that
what kind of pockets do people have on their shirts to fit an iphone 12 pro max
ashen spindle
older people who are more likely to have such a device
- if the smaller future versions also have magsafe it could become a bigger issue then
misty saffron
wouldn't it be common sense to put literally nothing close to your pacemaker
shadow minnow
Well you may have just had bad luck

or naturally caused problems

this entire situation just sounds like "don't go outside or you'll die"
neat oriole
It’s not the phone’s problem! They’re just using it wrong! 
wheat plume
Just hold it differently!
misty saffron
let's not have magnets in tech just because a small fraction of people can't be more careful i guess
neat oriole
Building non-pepega designs = nanny state now okay 
We don’t have to ban them just make sure people with pacemakers don’t use them?
Give people the info they need to make an educated decision?
misty saffron
people with pacemakers know damn well what not to do
misty saffron
otherwise it's their problem
neat oriole
Manufactures should also just stop lying and disclose design defects?
misty saffron
having a magnet in your device isn't a design defect
wheat plume
That reminds me of a case where a guy tried to sue a shopping mall for slippin and breaking a bone on a wet floor despite him just ignoring the wet floor signs
wheat plume
Manufactures should also just stop lying and disclose design defects?
magnets are essential in a thing called "Mag Safe"
ITS IN THE NAME

But sure if forcing mega corps to be more transparent and accountable is a nanny state then why not
reef patrol
magnets are essential in a thing called "Mag Safe"

Counterargument : It not only says MAGNET but also SAFE.
wheat plume
Safe is for the cables xd not the humans
neat oriole
You can yank the cable and your device won’t go flying
reef patrol
Anti trip.
neat oriole
Sorta yeah
reef patrol
Except the new iMacs xD
wheat plume
back in the OG Mag Safe, it meant that if the charging cable got yanked out, it would not pull the laptop off the table with it
reef patrol
Those are magnetic but not safe.
misty saffron
But sure if forcing mega corps to be more transparent and accountable is a nanny...
yeah just make car manufacturers tell people multiple times a day not to hit a wall
neat oriole
But I mean the iPhone is so light itll fly if you yank the MagSafe cord
reef patrol
iPhone don't use magsafe though?

its not being used for the same purpose anyway

Lightning connectors aren't magnetic. And has a tiny hook like thing for that satisfying disconnect feel.

No the new iPhones

"by pressing the engine start button you agree to not driving into a brick wall"
wheat plume
magSafe on the new phones means that the wireless charger can stick to the charging pad with magnets
reef patrol
I see.
shadow minnow
You can yank the cable and your device won’t go flying
Well the magsafe for phones is strong enough that it actually may still fly
shadow minnow
Well the magsafe for phones is strong enough that it actually may still fly <:lu...
Actually I would be surprised if it didn’t tbh
misty saffron
perfectly reasonable
neat oriole
Well no the car equivalent to this is if your car was actively poisoning you as you drove it and the car manufacture was like “oh yeah perfectly safe levels of exposure”
But I mean more safety features in a car isn’t a bad thing
If a car can prevent itself from driving into a wall without injuring anyone for sure that would be pretty decent
misty saffron
i almost suffocated in a car because i couldn't open the window to let some fresh air in, guess i'll sue

If you’re talking about certain cars you can’t import yes
Is that what you’re talking about?
I mean most companies don’t bother submitting a car because the market isn’t big enough for that model
Audi for years refused to send their fast wagon because they didn’t think it would sell
You made it sound like the NHTSA sends everyone a flyer with like 5 cars on it to choose from
I can’t find anything on them banning certain colours either
