He said he really likes the Zune UI
I havent seen it..... hm
why . in one and not the other?
halcyon moss
because its not finished 😉

I miss Windows phone 8.1
The UI was nice
Third Party apps also used the same UI design
Third party apps could also use your chosen accent color
System wide dark theme before android

Quite funny
This leak isn't even a dev release
It's pretty funny
I rekon its an internal meme/naming calling it windows 11
Because everything else is named windows 10
ashen spindle
well yeah it's still win10 just win11 as the name
in the end its just a win10 update named win11 instead of named 2H21
wheat plume
im still on 20H2
ashen spindle
ok?
wheat plume
its been nagging me to update .-. despite suspending them
ashen spindle
im on 20h2 and it's not once asked me to update still
wheat plume
I had updates pending when I suspended them
cause it was about to update and I stopped it
jaunty cipher
win11 isnt an update yet, 21h1 is out but its still rolling out randomly
ashen spindle
tbf I dont mind not upgrading some of these
dont see a reason to give paint a new ui, just keep it as it is and dont touch it
crimson wigeon
Besides there already is an updated MS Paint it's called Paint 3D
reef patrol
updated
crimson wigeon
Fine, completely new
jaunty cipher
they dont have to remove all the uis but reduce them to like 2-3, having the old ui and new ui would be fine, as long as there's not 4 types of each and a random bit of metro
update them all to ribbon and all the modern apps to sun valley
crimson wigeon
That requires effort and collaborating with all the app teams! Can't have that!

I wish there was a way to change Windows edition without reinstalling Windows
Should be an upgrade button literally in the next section in settings
cursive summit
Yeah but that doesn't really work when it comes to kms activated ones
Which apparently is intended
reef patrol
Duh?
crimson wigeon
Couldn't you just switch to a non-KMS key and editionswitch then back to KMS?
cursive summit
Ehh I don't really have a physical license or a digital key
young pecan
Use a hack tool.
crimson wigeon
If you don't have a real license why wouldn't you just activate the best edition from the start?
young pecan
Or just download a tool and activate with that.
cursive summit
If you don't have a real license why wouldn't you just activate the best edition...
It shipped with home
And I didn't really care that much UNTIL I needed pro license features 
solemn compass
Yeah but that doesn't really work when it comes to kms activated ones
psst. it does work 😉
solemn compass
you can find codes on the internet if you just search for "windows 10 {version} cd key". this code will be valid for about a month. but if you activate it with KMS again, problem solved
you put in the code, click upgrade. voila
something like that
i did it twice last year
crimson wigeon
Yeah those generic codes are well known
solemn compass
i did it beginning of the year and a year before that. sooo
it did work quite recently
crimson wigeon
They will only activate you if there's a valid hardware genuine thingamajig for your computer on MS' servers

If piracy is too much effort just buy a cheap key from ebay or something pepelaugh

cursive summit
Isn't technically the workstation edition superior to normal pro edition?
solemn compass
Yea thats the shit. I made it work for like 3 weeks. But then kms activation just makes it happy again
Ehm i guess?

Yeah for me it seems to be activated automatically

After some time it will figure out its an invalid code. So just prepare for that
But just reactivate and its fixed

Speaking of that security took my sister's phone and never gave it back fff them
She was being harassed for context
empty wren
Thing is also they were approached and confronted about it
Whatever I guess, phone was cheap but nice in some ways
It look like Aiden Pierce's phone
reef tundra
But why was it taken?
empty wren
She was being harassed
reef tundra
Theft?
empty wren
And the police(security) took it for evidence
More like internet bullying or threats
But they did not need to take it all
Since it was messages on some platform
reef tundra
Are they prosecuting them then or done filing it into evidence?
reef tundra
Then why are they holding it for evidence.
empty wren
No idea the security was a moron
reef tundra
I think it just got stolen right under your nose
empty wren
Police abuse power
empty wren
I think it just got stolen right under your nose
I mean you are not wrong
Thing is even confrontation like I said appealed to nothing
Even after a looooong time
Whatever america it is
reef tundra
Normally it only needs to be taken into evidence if they are needed to prosecute someone and it cannot be proven to be credible when you offload the evidence onto a usb stick or something.
empty wren
I mean even still, they could have taken her account
But that said they did nothing and said nothkng
Basically kept the device
reef tundra
Yea, that would be sufficient level of proof that the evidence is credible and actionable
empty wren
Exactly especially with the messages being saved on a server and not locally
Cached locally yes
reef tundra
You dont want the evidence to be able to be questioned in its source. Best source would be the central server or copy of either end
Burn it into a cd and dont see that to be contaminate after you give it a seal
empty wren
Such an option was not given, even if a little more was done would have made sense. Otherwise as it stands security man takes phone¯_(ツ)_/¯
reef tundra
With functional justice systems you can choose to not pursue to press charges and submit the evidence
reef tundra
Here they can only seize private property with warrant of the court. (Or suspecting it be of criminal source.)
empty wren
If a citizen gives up an object to an officer without a warrant it is still legal right even if the citizen is not fully aware of the law?
reef tundra
First off, bad practice. second of all, you should be able to demand repossession of the items when they are not formally seized by the court.
practically you can give items to anyone if you want. Police should not have special privilege to private property except when enforcing a warrant. Otherwise it should be as if two private individuals are interacting
The whole case seems a little unorthodox

Smithville, Local ISP for my part of Indiana. It's literally the only thing we can get.
young pecan
Ah, America.
Idk how the ISP fuckery even got so bad in the US.
How it was allowed to slide so extremely far into complete screwry I will never understand.
Like, everywhere in Aus you have a choice of 7 ISPs.
Even in Telstra owned lines you have a choice of 4.
chrome estuary

reef tundra
I wouldnt
chrome estuary
well unless they magically come back in stock (and even with china's shit going on), that won't happen.
USD
chrome estuary
no.
young pecan
In that case no.
chrome estuary
i personally think mining is a meme
young pecan
That price ONLY makes sense if you mine on it when you're not gaming.
Mining will reduce the price to something reasonable over time, end of story.
young pecan
Then you don't buy one for 3 years.
chrome estuary
anytime in the near few years.
young pecan
Or you mine on it and it becomes reasonable.
The fact of the matter is that cards don't exist for reasonable MSRP since all of them are useful for miners and preexisting gamers.
Unless you mine nights to make up the difference it makes zero sense to buy a card atm.
reef tundra
So miners are the problem
chrome estuary
closer to 50 at best
young pecan
Nah, I'd say miners and gamers are each a solid 30% of the issue rn.
chrome estuary
if it weren't for this horrible mining craze, the reduced GPU production due to the virus wouldn't've been as harsh

Kinda.
It's not really the GPUs in shortage, it's all of the electronics.
Everything is in short supply to the point that cars can no longer be produced in good numbers.

no mining would still mean we are in a gpu shortage

ashen spindle
like, people dont mine on a ps5 and you cant find those anywhere
the automobile industry has issues because they are lacking chips
young pecan
I can go out and buy practically any other electronic i want.
If it needs chips it's in shortage, is the point.
Ethernet cables and the such are in plenty, but I can make those half blind with shitty tools.
ashen spindle
look at the lead times wooting has for the next HE runs because it takes 6 month waittime to get the sensors they need
young pecan
It's the damned chips. ._.
reef tundra
It's the damned chips. ._.
young pecan
@chrome estuary But no, don't bother buying a card for 3 years or buy one and mine overnight on it for about 7 months to either break even or reduce to MSRP. Those are the good options, everything else is either bad value or scalpers.
That be the world we live in rn.
And I say that including the NewEgg raffles for MSRP.
The MSRP they give is still WAY above what the card should be given it's performance.
Minimum $200 above, I've seen some pushing $400 above on some raffles on different sites.
Fucking BS a 3070 should be 1.1 grand USD. ._.
reef tundra
They should be available
young pecan
I just wish I'd had the foresight to put 60 grand into mining 3 years ago.
I kick myself, I actually do.

i wonder if it’s possible to just solder on two more memory chips onto this to upgrade
or if the capacity is fixed in controller
young pecan
I mean... can the controller do it?
Even then you could just replace the controller for the cheap, maybe. Can you reflow?
reef tundra
Technically, if you can get the controller to talk with it and integrate it
misty saffron
i’m wondering because the two places for memory chips are already prepared
literally a minute long soldering job
reef tundra
BGA does need hot air to pull off
reef tundra
Add some flux, remove the old solder, add fresh solder and hot air the chip in place
atleast that is what I would do
misty saffron
why not just plop the chips onto that right away
young pecan
Remember, guys.
misty saffron
there is solder there already
young pecan
The bigger the glob the better the job. 👌
reef tundra
Mosly due to the solder being somewhat oxidised. Making the solder less wettable and wanting to turn liquid

Hmmm. I mean heat does cause problems for data storage
SSDs dont output that much heat though
maybe for the new pcie5 ones?

Hard to tell now who else has contributed to it. From my side it's minor anyway, like only the comments and the text would be protected anyway. The rest depends on the syntax of the commands and so on. I structured the commands in the way to have them in-line with the normal structuring.
So I don't care and you are free to do it from my side. I collect the info, testet it, I tried to create something simple and nice. So for the time it's maybe nice to mentioning my Discord ID but I don't care. On the other side it wasn't my initial idea.
On the other side I doubt it's useful to put time into this. I informed Wooting a while ago what changes are needed to the xpad code to support the Wootings directly. I can't tell how the current state is. Like if they already suggested a code change or not because it can take a while until it's included in a new kernel version.

mkv does it all

reef tundra
Webm is a subset of mkv I believe
reef tundra
WebM defines the file container structure, video and audio formats. WebM files consist of video streams compressed with the VP8 or VP9 video codecs and audio streams compressed with the Vorbis or Opus audio codecs.
The WebM file structure is based on the Matroska container.
wheat plume
o.o
reef tundra
Why create a new file type (.webm)? Why not use .mkv?
Since WebM is a subset of Matroska, it has fewer allowed stream types and features than Matroska.
A distinct name gives us a way to easily refer to the subset, and gives users a way to associate a piece of content with a client having known-good support. Google Chrome, for example, may or may not be able to decode filename.mkv, but it will absolutely play filename.webm -- provided filename.webm conforms to the WebM guidelines.

Bluetooth doesnt need location data. Broadcast and see what you can linkup with should be enough to setup a bluetooth connection. Maybe for something like a mesh networks with multiple nodes, it could be a thing needed?

Bluetooth can scan when off
If you let it
And location permission is needed then
I can price check too

Anyone got an ideas as to why CCX is now priced so highly?
Used to be around 15 cents US and it's hitting $1 USD, happened overnight.

Pump it and dump it

Apparently it's now partially integrated into the Eth blockchain and Pancake Swap, but idk how that does a 5x increase in profitability when I'm solo mining.
I'd expect maybe 3x.

Mah feelies, so hurt.

Yeah, that's true.
But we're Australia.
Historically we've kinda never been in any spotlights. In all of the wars we usually play very minor role and largely get ignored past that.
I'd happily wager a kidney that the next war we're in results in minor activity and we'll more than likely act as a support force to either America or the UK.

ashen spindle

you expect a lot when they are making drives marketed just for mining now
reef tundra
Oopsie we released the beta drivers
ashen spindle
tbf its just repurposed server grade ssd's because they notice they can ask miners to pay the same or even more than servers would
crimson wigeon
And also because chia kills them so fast it's just money money money as the miners have to buy more, so smart
fickle ore
Yeah thankfully Chia isn't worth it lol
reef tundra
But its eco friendly by turning your SSDs into waste which are in very short supply right now
fickle ore
fuck didnt win a 905p from a r/intel contest
crimson wigeon
Wouldn't spinning rust be ideal for that shitcoin anyway or does it also demand fast storage
fickle ore
rip
ashen spindle
well the main issue is that you need to constantly "plot" again and not just keep the space you have with it
so you do need cpu cores/ram/writespeed etc.

Finally, Optane's killer app
ashen spindle
think the super high speeds that optance does were random and not sequential which this would fall under?
idk
reef tundra
it kills them all right
young pecan
Why tf would one use SSDs for Chia?
Iirc that runs on PoC, no?
Once plotted it’s just set and forget passive.
astral haven
Yes but plotting takes a tooon of time
young pecan
Weeks, I know.
But integrating any SSD into that adds weakness that ends up causing more problems in the end.
astral haven
You plot on a ssd then transfer to a hard drive to passively earn
young pecan
Eh, that’s doable I suppose.
In that case you maybe want 30TB of NVMe storage and hundreds upon hundreds of TB of HDD.
astral haven
That's literally how the software works
Sure but the ssds will die
That is the problem
That's why optane
young pecan
Sounds pog.
Mmm. How long would the NVMe SSDs last?
Let’s say each is writing 150TB of shit, that still earns obscene amounts if you’re capping 20 SSDs.
astral haven
A qlc drive lasts a month ish max, a tlc ssd will die in 3 ish months
Per gb of plotting it uses over 100gb of writes
astral haven
Yup
young pecan
Actually, what about just running it off DIMMs? How quickly do those die?
astral haven
Dimms are expensive asf
young pecan
No shit, but what’s the lifespan?
astral haven
Unknown
young pecan
Mmm. That’d be an interesting experiment.
astral haven
Basically depends on the die
The big problem is the ram to CPU core ratio
The high density sticks are crazy expensive
young pecan
Was thinking what if you made an Epyc server specifically for creating plots and offloading them?
astral haven
And the cpus with high memory support are also dumb expensive
young pecan
Maybe 10 grand or so for the PC.
1TB of RAM included.
4TB maybe 25k.
Keep everything else minimal.
Right, after some google it looks like the very best system doing dimmdrives has a plot time of 4 hours.
NVMe SSDs can do about 7 hours.
astral haven
Uh what
young pecan
Yeh.
Apparently it’s really CPU limited and the coin is resistant to applying infinitely scaling things.
reef tundra
LMAO, just checked the subreddit of chia and went through top of the last year. Project seems done.
https://www.reddit.com/r/chia/comments/nc5bji/through_the_eyes_of_ex_rchia_mod/
young pecan
And by that I mean relative speed. DDR4 versus NVMe.
young pecan
Mmmmm.
reef tundra
Yup, waybackmachine has an archive of the older mod list and the poster was a moderator with full perms
ashen spindle
Once plotted it’s just set and forget passive.
well yes, but not if you want to make money
if you just keep what you have, the chance to earn something decreases rapidly over time as others keep on making new plots, to outspeed that you need to constantly replot everything
young pecan
Ah, and therein lies the issue.
Looking at some performance data there are cases of some Samsung SSDs doing thousands of TB of writes?
What?
ashen spindle
yea sounds accurate
young pecan
9100TB?
astral haven
You should get 1pb per tb
young pecan
9100TB off a 256GB drive?
astral haven
No
young pecan
Samsung 850 Pro?
young pecan
I mean...
astral haven
8pb per tb
young pecan
Not a costly drive.
young pecan
Gigabyte per second? The very best drives on the market can do maybe 8x that.
Hmm. What’s the write endurance on the 980 Pro M.2s?
ashen spindle
to compared how much the difficulty increases: here is numbers from last month vs today
- last I checked they still had no pool system running so you need to hit a block on your own
oh

I’ve actually started loving solo mining as of late.
Made a LOT of CCX right before it exploded. Very pog.

well, they are in stock for a change for longer than minutes
used to be like 10 minutes max before those are gone
now they are stuck for a day at like 100€ lower than usual

I mean, thats not msrp, it's much higher than that lol
but price wont go down before stock stays around

man, if miners would quit being jackasses and just buy ONE card each and scalpers everywhere fell down really deep and dry wells head-first, we'd still have this issue, but it wouldn't be as bad

nah, alienware with those fucking huge desktop replacement laptops
I'd snag one of those if a desktop wasn't an option
they discontinued those?
ew
thicc boiz are better
means desktop class components inside, and better performance than most laptops out there
ashen spindle
idk if I would really call this thin
stone vector
if they can sell 2x less cards for 3x more money than usual its still a massive win for them, and they dont care how many people can game or the good ol supply and demand argument
astral haven
Just because they make thin laptops doesn't mean they don't make thick laptops
ashen spindle

astral haven
10th gen works with advanced optimus
crisp granite
way cheaper than building a desktop now, at least
astral haven
Dunno if Alienware did it
But advanced optimus is a gpu feature that just needs to be included, not CPU dependent
Either way advanced optimus is a cheaper alternative to a mux chip, and mux chips date back to the 2005s
I'd recommend not Dell or HP if possible?
Need thunderbolt?
