The rear port barely works and is quite af

[shadow minnow]

Sounds like on windows it has some specific drivers for rear that are broken

[wheat plume]

not too sure

[reef tundra]

Would depend on how the audio is provided but if they share the same wire, they work identical

[shadow minnow]

Well no way to be sure, but I would still look into drivers, and maybe even completely uninstall some. Or at least check if there isn’t an update.

[ashen spindle]

windows is literally not handling audio but the driver is so it can't be windows doing it

[wheat plume]

Im still going to use the rear USB for my headphones, I dont want the cable cutting across me to reach the front port on my computer

[reef tundra]

At some point they will have to turn their os specific part into direct instructions to have the audio driver produce 🤷 they will have to be identical in the end. (atleast it should be)

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, can be just driver issue on windows.

[reef patrol]

Sound blaster would like a word. Windows definitely controls audio.

[ashen spindle]

uhh sure if we add hardware that changes things

[reef patrol]

As I recall Microsoft changed how sound worked which completely broke anything sound blaster based, requiring you to install new drivers that overrode windows audio

[reef tundra]

Drivers do the driving. Windows does the ignoring of drivers 😎

[ashen spindle]

sure but in this case I say it's 99% the driver and not windows making one port worse than another

[wheat plume]

it also ignores the fucking hosts file .-.

[ashen spindle]

how tf did you break that

are you sure it's not an invalid host file with bad line endings so it cant read it?

[wheat plume]

Hmm, maybe but not sure

I dont get it....
I want to transfer a 6GB video from my laptop to my USB drive
and windows is telling me that the video is too large

but the USB drive has 44GB free space left

[reef patrol]

Something something FAT32 limited to 4gb files

[wheat plume]

o.o

fml

[reef tundra]

[reef patrol]

Reformat the USB as NTFS and then you can.

[wheat plume]

IT IS FAT32 .-.

damn it

[reef patrol]

Unless you want to play this on a TV or something

[wheat plume]

I cant reformat, its got so much shit already on the drive

[reef patrol]

If only there was some way to store all of that shit one the computer. Some kind of file management system.

[wheat plume]

waits the inevitably long transfer time of like 20GB of data to send to my laptop

no thanks

[reef patrol]

[empty wren]

You could always cut the video if the content is not protected?

[wheat plume]

I may not need the video again but its possible

college stuff

[ashen spindle]

compress it

[wheat plume]

Ill take Mansen's approach of dumping all the USB contents onto my laptop and formatting it to whatever

[reef tundra]

😩 Load all your homework on it instead

[wheat plume]

How do format?

[empty wren]

Right click in file explorer

[crimson wigeon]

mkfs.ntfs

[reef tundra]

dd

[wheat plume]

I want a file format Linux and windows can use, my storage SSDs are exFAT, so maybe that could be ok

? idk

[reef patrol]

If Linux supports exfat that's definitely the best choice.

[wheat plume]

It does

dafuq is "Allocation Unit Size"? It's asking me to give it a value

im still convinced that fc3 is better than anhmy newer far cry

[reef patrol]

The first half was at least.

They couldn't have casted a better villain than Vass...voss?

Though Pagan was a close second. Loved that guy.

[reef tundra]

Ubisoft wrote the character on the basis of the actor, instead of coming up with such character

[reef patrol]

[old marlin]

don't get why people like vaas so much as a villain

all of the far cry villains since 3 have been super predictable

5 is a bit better in that regard ig

[reef patrol]

His personality, his dialogue.

He was so much more of a well written villain than his boss.

[reef tundra]

His duality with the player

[old marlin]

I mean people also liked handsome jack

[reef patrol]

As for Pagan. He was just more likable than either of your so called "allies" - Both of which I would like to throw into a gulley by the end of the game rather than support either.

All of F5 is just fucked plotwise in so many ways. The DLC was just plain terrible.

How tf did these things detect silence? for their track skip feature

[reef patrol]

They read ahead and used a basic noise detection filter algorithm?

[reef patrol]

It needs to read the tape and convert it into some kind of signal. Whether analog or digital.

[reef tundra]

FFTs are magic

[halcyon moss]

Most still have this

[shadow minnow]

I mean, it could, since you can have entire board but usb c port coated, and there must be version or sth with usb c where it does not matter since you still have wateproof phones and stuff with usb c

[reef tundra]

Wait until you get some of the magic that two-part resin provides

[shadow minnow]

Uh, if you really wanted to, you could seal and still keep it hot swappable. Since Hall effect switches need no clear vision line or contact with pcb, you could just make casing “under the switches” and then have them in it.

Not easy

u remove a big plastic shield that prevents u from mounting it all together

𝐷𝑟. 𝐼𝑎𝑛 𝐶𝑢𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠 (@IanCutress)

One of the dangers of DDR5 marketing is that vendors are going to market DDR5's 'on-die ECC' functionality as if it's traditional ECC

On-die ECC is only for physical reliability to increase yielding dies. You still need module-wide and controller ECC support for traditional ECC

[young pecan]

Ffs.

Another piece of bullshit I need to research. Yey.

[reef patrol]

Sounds like something reviewers and probably consumer rights orgs will speak out about hard.

[ashen spindle]

not really because it's not wrong and you will just either see it on everything or not at all after a while

it says on-die ecc and that's what it is

[reef patrol]

ECC isn't ECC

"It's not wrong" - I disagree fundamentally 😄

If they aren't advertising it specifically as "on die", they're lying.

[ashen spindle]

but.. that's neither the case in either of the sales pages nor what ian really meant

[reef patrol]

Howso?

He literally says "they are going to market on die as "ECC". Not "on die ECC"

Pre-DDR5 ECC meant ECC.

If they start marketing this new variant as just "ECC" it's not correct.

[ashen spindle]

"going to market DDR5's 'on-die ECC' functionality as if it's traditional ECC" means he expects them to write it like the benefits of on die are what people expect from the big ECC that exists before, not that they straight up remove part of the wording to lie

[reef patrol]

That's not how I read that at all.

And in that case it'd still be misleading legally 😛

[thick elk]

I think end of the day dram manufacturers are going to figure out a way to differentiate while marketing them both as ecc

[ashen spindle]

how can it be misleading legally though when it's how the tech works

[thick elk]

because most sell both and they have to market their true ECC sticks anyway.

[reef patrol]

This RAM kit has ECC
This RAM kit has On-Chip-ECC bringing you all the benefits of ECC

are equally misleading.

[ashen spindle]

yes but that's not what anyone aside you surmised to happen in this situation

[reef patrol]

No?

[ashen spindle]

like yes if they are lying it's illegal xD

[reef patrol]

What he is describing in the tweet is literally misleading legally. 😛

There is no way around it.

[thick elk]

I think it will end up with this:
This ram has ECC
and
This ram has dedicated ECC or a dedicated ECC chip.

[ashen spindle]

you can point out the benefits of on-die ECC in a technically 100% accurate way and just not mention edge cases that module wide ECC would capture

[reef patrol]

This on-chip ECC doesn't do what conventional ECC does.

[ashen spindle]

but it kinda does

[reef patrol]

It only helps against data retention corruption, not moved data.

[thick elk]

Alternatively they won't do anything with it as ECC is not really a marketing term actually worth something to consumers.

Just call it more secure, better protection against data loss than ddr4 stuff like that.

[reef patrol]

ECC.

When data is refreshed, ECC catches it.
When data is moved, ECC catches it.

"on chip"

When data is refreshed, on-chip catches it.
When data is moved, on-chip does NOT catch it.

[ashen spindle]

ok so just mention WHAT it does not WHEN and it's technically very similar

[reef patrol]

And we return to the crux of the tweet - Ian inferring they will use misleading marketing to pass off this as traditional ECC functionally.

[ashen spindle]

yes, the functionality, which is preventing bit flips, which both variants do

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/ugh-ughh-oh-boy-tired-lazy-gif-13987646

[ashen spindle]

so it is very easy to make it sound the same while remaining technically absolutely correct

[reef patrol]

Not during actual manipulation of the RAM.

It protects you - But only when you're standing still!

[ashen spindle]

a lot of people would have heard about those speedruns that had things happen from cosmic rays causing bitflips or how it changed one election count etc.

and on die ecc can catch those cases just as well

[reef patrol]

ECC lite! It sounds like you get ECC but you don't really get all of it!

[ashen spindle]

error correction on memory

[reef patrol]

Basically it makes sure that data in RAM isn't corrupted.

Your 1's and 0s stay the same. If they shift incorrectly for some reason, ECC catches it and fixes it.

[ashen spindle]

error correction code if you want the exact name

[reef patrol]

It's... less critical on a consumer grade PC, but if you're dealing with sensitive data that absolutely needs to be accurate you want ECC.

Statistics, models, economics etc..

Servers in general enjoy it most of the time.

[ashen spindle]

well for now it's less critical, it can still cause random BSODs but it's super rare

but with more capacity it also means more chances for it to happen

[reef patrol]

So what JEDEC is doing with DDR5 is basically making it part of the base design. At least in a partial way.

[ashen spindle]

https://twitter.com/IanCutress/status/1401872605246799874 as part of the thread if you want to read it (and the following tweets) for a good definition

𝐷𝑟. 𝐼𝑎𝑛 𝐶𝑢𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠 (@IanCutress)

@pfx_7 DRAM is constantly refreshed to maintain the data. Some cells have longer retention than others, but that gets smaller with more dense process nodes. On-die ECC means that if an error occurs in a cell during a refresh, it's detected, meaning that more cells pass validation /1

Just move the channel back to where it was... this was never funny and just annoying the first times it happend already

[crisp granite]

why does the fairphone 4 actually look incredible, even more so for the price?

me kinda want instead of the latest samsung like I thought I'd upgrade to

[empty wren]

fairphone 5 is even better

it will get like 5 or so major os updates

[crisp granite]

well then

I'll wait for that

Haven't read it but I love Rufus

[empty wren]

so much trouble with rufus i had, so I avoid it

[empty wren]

oops my bad doge did not mean to mislead you i thought the 5th one was the recent one

I am sure the 5th one whatever they do with that one will be good too

[empty wren]

The real question is if it will cut down on hackers online

As otherwise it is pointless in the consumerspace

Oh riot games does some sketchy stuff already

If they can remove the spyware in favor of tpm would be good though

May also help against viruses

If Microsoft kept windows 10s

Probably almost 100% it could be safe

It would be good for schools

Some teachers literally go to bad sites, had an English teacher be on her computer and suddenly I heard the intercom connected to her computer start saying stuff about porn

Yikes

Like I get stuff does not work well across window versions sometimes

But that would be super strict and bad to consimers

Eh, will not work sometimes with my 2000 game

Bruh that card is old

I know there is a shortage

But 6 generations are out

Honestly, maybe the mindset is less attractive titles

Kinda wanna do something like that some time

For something I would use

[empty wren]

What are you even playing at 4k 120

Desktop.exe?

[shadow minnow]

Just people that wanna play and don’t know much if anything about pcs in many cases

[fair gull]

point em to me

[fair gull]

so anyone remember the pc from yesterday

25℃

26

its slowly climbing

27

this is like yesterday

just a tad slower

imma go mad with this shit

[fair gull]

no ckue what happened but its actually dialing in around 27-30 today

which is what id expect

[halcyon moss]

was the fan on? :p

[fair gull]

yes

i havent done anything since leaving work yesterday except turn it off obviously

today it just works as expected

[young pecan]

@fair gull Seemingly magic.

[fair gull]

thats what it feels like

[fair gull]

i see

[wheat plume]

Where tf
Does postgres put the text file you dump the database to?!??

Google no help

[ashen spindle]

doubt google cant find it but if its not the first result it sounds like either it uses the location you specifiy or wherever it is located as local file

[halcyon moss]

@wheat plume how about reading the fine manual
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/app-pgdump.html

or.. RTFM

[ashen spindle]

yes, "fine" manual is what that means

[halcyon moss]

it can be both, depends on the context

first it was fine, second it wasn't 👺

i've already found your answer @wheat plume it is in there 😉

so uh i hope you didnt drop it yet

[crimson wigeon]

Nah it's database hopping time now

[halcyon moss]

how about a nice graph database

or a document store?

[crimson wigeon]

Ooh, is it web scale?

[halcyon moss]

insert that one youtube vid

she probably dropper it

small price to pay for this lesson 🙂 verify your backups before deleting/migrating the db

[fair gull]

idk why anyone would go away from postgre

only reason i could see its too robust so u go down to sqlite

or u need it even bigger and use elastic

or u need smth not persistent and use redis as a temp db

[wheat plume]

I can't find the file still .-.

[ashen spindle]

I feel like google does give you the answer if you search correctly

[fair gull]

maybe lana is a filthy windows user and just doesnt know how linux works

or google

[reef patrol]

[wheat plume]

I have to use windows at college

We had to follow the lecturers lab document

[fair gull]

not installing postgre in wsl smh

[halcyon moss]

if you didnt specify a location it is nowhere

just in stdout

[wheat plume]

Yeah.... I tried to specify one and it failed

[fair gull]

inb4 cant even hop to a different db cause some types arent supported

[wheat plume]

Postgres error messages are really helpful

RIP warranty 😂

[empty wren]

Well it was an iPhone X so guessing why not at that point. Would be funny if they go to an apple store and ask to repair the port

[shadow minnow]

Apple event Pog

[wheat plume]

My friend spent almost double the price of my brand new laptop on an iPad Pro + Pencil today.....

Yet she claims to not have the money for a gaming PC

X to doubt

[shadow minnow]

Can’t really blame her if he has an usecase for it. And enough money.
But depends. Some people have iPad and pencil even though it’s useless for them, while some make quite a lot of money from it

[wheat plume]

yeah, shes doing an animation course, so she really wants a good tablet to draw on

[shadow minnow]

Hmm, for that it’s not bad

[wheat plume]

But, she's also complained for like the past year that she really wants a gaming PC :P

[shadow minnow]

Know people doing art stuff, 2d animations and in some cases 3d professionally just on iPad with Apple Pencil

[wheat plume]

yeah, procreate is neat

for drawing and whatnot

Does it do animation? idek

[shadow minnow]

Well there are other apps, pretty sure something really good for animation but not sure what is it

[earnest jay]

It's probably cheaper to get a decent gaming PC and a Wacom Cintiq or comparable from other brands. 😆

[shadow minnow]

True
Tbh I would also kinda want an iPad but not useful enough and too much money. However having my computer with me would be quite a bit more useful

Tbh unlike iPad kb cases iPads surprise me by their price, considering how much bigger are they and yet cost the same or not much more.

Well have one pre 2010 with me but half of kb is not working and trackpad is terrible, so do not use it basically at all.

My pc is still in Slovakia

[wheat plume]

The chat going on in the 60HE chat reminded me to check if I can wear my watch while swimming or not

And according to the official website, I can!

no...

Im just curious, cause I heard a lot of mixed messages about this online

so I checked the huawei site to make sure

[shadow minnow]

Not at all. Depends on for which iPad you go for but even with pros unless you max out storage, you won’t get a decent gaming pc.

But you can definitely get a pc with better GPU than mine, even iPad has a better GPU

[earnest jay]

It was a joke. 😆

[wheat plume]

The ipad + pen was €1200

[shadow minnow]

Nvm I am blind

[shadow minnow]

Oh, yeah, that was a bit higher tier one. Did she go for the mini led one?

[ashen spindle]

and that's why I call you an apple fanboy because you always rush to comments like this 😛

[wheat plume]

Idk
It's thin af
Got 3 camera holes on the back
And the screen looks so damn good

[pale sigil]

IPads are great tho

small investment for years of return excluding the pros

[shadow minnow]

I am apple fan not a fanboy
Like month ago you could have seen me in this server recommending someone non apple phone instead of apple one when they were considering the apple one
And also have no issue with saying how iOS 15 sucks. If I am fanboy then idk what some other apple fanboys are

[earnest jay]

Though reading this, you can build a decent gaming PC for around 800, and an XPPen drawing display tablet for roughly 350, so maybe some form of truth after all. 😆

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, and if you do professional work on them with art, you will also get money return which can even exceed the price couple of times. Just wish mini led model was less expensive compared to smaller one

Also app support

[pale sigil]

Ye, my friend does it and pretty much gets her return on investment quite fast

[pale sigil]

Gl building a decent gaming computer in 2021 xD

Usually I'd agree

In a normal market

Though I don't see an ipad as a substitute for Gaming

[earnest jay]

True.

[crisp granite]

It works for streaming games

Speaking from personal experience

[shadow minnow]

Even then it probably would not be a decent one, especially compared to iPad Air, since the pc would have to be like 300€
But yeah, still would be worse for games

[pale sigil]

Ye

I used stadia etc the other week for two days

Was nice xD

[shadow minnow]

I mean it does, but would have been much more useful if it supported macOS stuff since M1

[pale sigil]

The pro aye

If the pro suddenly supported osx it would be a no brsiner for me

[shadow minnow]

Same with my cousin. She is basically using iPad for everything but playing Minecraft and the investment has returned to her quite a few times.

[shadow minnow]

Yeah I would be also much more likely to consider it then, since it would be useful for all stuff I could want it for, while now, MacBook would not be so useful in school and stuff, also display while iPad lacks apps I would want from it.

Curious how is new hopefully M1X stuff gonna perform

Would be an upgrade from UHD 750 too

Tbf UHD 750 would have definitely been better than nothing. Still can even though barely play railway empire, and even though I haven’t tried, considering age of that game could Skyrim.
Definitely better than just phone. Even though tbf one Apple Arcade exclusive I have played recently has been one of the best games I have played

[empty wren]

If you really want to play something like Skyrim, Elder Scroll Blades exist.

[shadow minnow]

Well sure but it’s not very comparable. But the real issue is my phone having no free storage

[wheat plume]

stuff

good to know

[crimson wigeon]

That app is so bad

They somehow managed to make something worse than Origin..

[wheat plume]

🤔

[pale sigil]

ye it aint a great app

[wheat plume]

I noticed

[earnest jay]

Yeah, I've stuck to Origin as the EA App does not want to recognise me owning a game as me owning the game.
All the games I claimed for free are recognised by the EA App as me owning them, but the ONE game that I did actually pay for is not recognised as me owning it, but is recognised as one of the games I marked as a favourite.

[wheat plume]

🤔

Even with this awesome wifi, my skills in BF V suck

2 kills, 10 deaths .-.

[earnest jay]

https://tenor.com/view/keanu-reeves-whoa-matrix-bro-neo-gif-12028915

[wheat plume]

EA: "Let's make an entirely new app to replace Origin"
Also EA: The app is only good for being a game store and can only see like one owned game per account

[earnest jay]

Not that I'd probably do any better. 😆

The worst thing about the EA App, I have to download it and use it if I were to want to utilise EA Play that is offered for free through Game Pass (Ultimate).

apple be like

this apple pencil

3rd gen

just like the last, nothing new

€549

[shadow minnow]

Hmm makes me wonder how is the new m1x gonna perform, unless there isn’t one. But also will be interesting if they already go to 3nm next year same as it’s expected with phone socs

[shadow minnow]

The update from 1st to 2nd gen was more important. It’s not like 2nd gen brought anything that special new, just fixed gen 1 decisions that sucked

[crisp granite]

I mean

I happen to have a 2nd gen pencil

can safely tell you that it's great, no clue as to how it stacks up to 1st gen pencil

and that I never use it and it was a waste of $170 CAD

[shadow minnow]

Tbh when I have tried iPad I have for some reason used it to type on normal on screen kb

Always bothered me why can’t I use it to swipe up

[crisp granite]

actually

same on the swipe up thing

but I use my K3 with my iPad

:D

[shadow minnow]

What that?

But also I wish I could justify an iPad. If it had macOS support I probably actually could. But atm not really.

[shadow minnow]

For me I would just use it as a finger extender to type an stuff probably.
Wish I could actually do 2d art and animations though, cool things can be done with Apple Pencil.

[crisp granite]

this

I bought it to replace my smart folio keyboard I got with my iPad

was cheaper as well

[shadow minnow]

Flashbacks to using Wacom thing to play Minecraft. Actually was better than mouse in some ways

[latent mural]

you can play minecraft with an absolute positioning pointer?

[shadow minnow]

Pretty sure you could change the settings but I think it also worked in that mode

[latent mural]

that's weird -- when i tried it my view was either looking directly up or down whenever i slightly moved the stylus

[shadow minnow]

Pretty sure you could change how mouse control behaves somewhere in settings. Maybe some other setting would work

[latent mural]

oh yeah i just found 'mouse mode' in the wacom settings

can't believe i missed that

[reef patrol]

Delightful. Windows 11 still won't let me use the start menu. On the retail build xD

[reef patrol]

Aaand now the new control panel immediately closes when opened. Jesus...

[crisp granite]

mansen

[reef patrol]

If you can't tell I am LOVING Windows 11.

[crisp granite]

why are you using a fucking dev build?

we have windows 10

and it's supported through to 2025

[reef patrol]

Windows literally broke itself so hard I couldn't open start menu, folders UI or even the control panel.

I could use RUN and task manager to run chrome and such but that was it.

https://tenor.com/view/close-window-shatter-omg-oh-no-what-the-gif-16762929

[empty wren]

it is a feature not a bug

[reef patrol]

[fair gull]

the few pcs i already released into the wild with win11 run fine so far

now im worried tho

[old marlin]

my brother tests it atm

has some problems with BT and HID

[reef patrol]

Welp... Í lost about half of my games, all of my installed apps and one of the appdata folders is missing - which a LOT of gamedevs use to store data.

[old marlin]

wtf

in the install

ah

[reef patrol]

In the Reset PC.

[old marlin]

in the reset nvm

rip

[reef patrol]

Cause that was literally my only way out of a broken Windows 11 install. Couldn't even tell it to rollback cause the UI was borked.

[old marlin]

ye

[chrome estuary]

Did you have any way to back this info up if you didn't use Win11?

[reef patrol]

A functioning OS normally helps 😄

Being able to actually access folders would have helped.

[chrome estuary]

I was gonna say this is why you should always keep a Linux live on hand

[neat oriole]

Or just back up your data

[chrome estuary]

Yeah that too but shrug

The AMD performance issues should supposedly be fixed come the 21st

[old marlin]

or you know

any live boot stick

linux would work

but for cases like that hirens is more useful

imo

[chrome estuary]

Never used Hirens. Never needed anything more than access to the drive externally

[timid chasm]

For me, cloud backup for anything important to me but not containing personal info

but windows reset is always a nightmare especially for MS specific folders from my experience

Anything on gamepass is an absolute nightmare

[chrome estuary]

Never done a reset.

[timid chasm]

even a fresh install trying to use folders on another hard drive. Using an OS partition is nice but when you try to bring back the hard drive with all your PC Game pass games it's like nah we don't recognize that

[reef patrol]

I shouldn't need to keep Linux on hand for Windows to do the thing it promised. Keep my files

[chrome estuary]

Yeah I agree but windows did keep your files

It just made it difficult to impossible to do anything with

[reef patrol]

It literally didn't though

ohmygodwhatevenismicrosoftdoing

I found my lost appdata folder. It was never backed up to begin with. Microsoft fucking moved it wholesale to the NEW install.

[fair gull]

???

[crimson wigeon]

lol

[solar hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-computer-operator-error-gif-11140134

[reef patrol]

Welp - Almost noon and I've finally reached a point of usability.

Right click menu has been forced back to Win10 mode... cause jesus that new one is bad.

Start menu can't be reversed, so I'm stuck with half a start menu saying "recommended" and empty space. xD

[fair gull]

start10?

also still unsure what the appdata thing was about

[reef patrol]

Start10 doesn't give you the Windows 10 menu though.

It gives you the 7 menu xD

[fair gull]

sorry start11

[reef patrol]

Lots of apps and games store their settings and savegames in appdata.

Which is normally backed up into windows.old when you do a reset.

But the locallow appdata folder wasn't backed up. In fact it was just moved over to the NEW install. Which is REALLY bad practice.

[reef patrol]

Same.

[fair gull]

not really start11 uses the win11 design

but brings functios back

[reef patrol]

Start11 still gives you the Win7 style start menu, not the Win10 one 😄

Aka. not tiles.

[fair gull]

who the crap used the tiles lol

[reef patrol]

I did? For literally all of my shortcuts 😄

[fair gull]

oh well i dont use shortcuts

pressing win and typing the name is way faster

[reef patrol]

I'd argue it is faster to hit WIN, then click the game you want to start than do WIN then start typing it in 😄

[fair gull]

idk takes longer for me to visualizes or recognize the icon than just type out the name when im already on my keyboard

[reef patrol]

To each their own I suppose.

This is kind of how my start menu would have looked like in 10. Except I used the small tiles and they had no text. Just images.

[fair gull]

takes less than a sec for me to boot elite or smth

[reef patrol]

So you could easily fill in 40 or so.

And wouldn't have to deal with weird search results.

[fair gull]

so far handnt had weird results

except for stuff i didnt have installed

[reef patrol]

And since you could add dividers, the top row was apps. Rest was games 😄

[fair gull]

use it for every app/game and so far havent had a single issue at work or home ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

same for win11

my main issue is that its so massive

[reef patrol]

I'm on 1440P. So the Start menu is less than half the height of the screen when popped up.

[fair gull]

width is my main issue

cause usually im doing smth and just opening an app while reading or coding

and now there is a massive menu suddenly in the way

[reef patrol]

The 10 menu was maybe what... a sixth of the screen?

Or just under half of a half.

[fair gull]

id say between a sixth and a seventh but compared to the half-third the win11 menu is on 1080p

damn

literally the 2 main issues are the new context menu being garbage and the startmenu size

at least for me

[wheat plume]

I love watching Arch Linux elitists going absolutely mental with rage about the new Arch guided installation script

I feel like I'm a rare one in a kind person who's never used the start menu in windows

Other than to shutdown or restart my pc

Cd

Xd

[wheat plume]

The Pop_OS! lancher is really nice, its bound to super key by default and can search apps, files and settings using a nice box that pops up on the screen

[earnest jay]

I use the tiles of the Win10 start menu as my source for access to my links, that way I kept a nice, clean, and practically empty desktop.
And regarding the Win10 start menu, you could resize and drag it like a normal window to make it bigger or smaller. 🙂

[pale sigil]

As soon as destiny 2 gets the anti cheat update or well

[wheat plume]

The only reason I use the tiles is to access the recycling bin without needing to unhide the desktop icons every time

[pale sigil]

Battle eye I think?

I'm gonna go back to Linux

[crimson wigeon]

Windows 10 start menu can also be resized freely, so it can take up almost the whole screen if you want

[wheat plume]

there is an option in settings to make it fullscreen

[crimson wigeon]

That too but it's an incredibly scuffed experience

[wheat plume]

but it only shows the tiles and the rest is the same as the small size

[fair gull]

ya but win11 by default takes up a quarter of your screen

worse at that right in the middle if you dont change it

[crimson wigeon]

And can't be adjusted yeah it's a fantastic evolution

[wheat plume]

It can at least be moved back to the left

I bought a 3080 Ti a couple of months ago.

Also imagine the 3080 only having 10gb

[crisp granite]

Make sure you buy a good psu because A power supply that doesn't provide reliable or clean power can cause any number of problems, including instability that can be hard to pin down.

And it works so

[crisp granite]

we'll build a wall to keep the gigabyte products out

And we'll make gigabyte pay for it

probably on 7 whole pixels

[crimson wigeon]

How generous!

[wheat plume]

"contents"

Is this the HTC equivalent of Nintendo's usage of "softwares" to refer to games?

[earnest jay]

Yes.

[wheat plume]

Sometimes Nintendo use "product" too

Anything but game

[earnest jay]

That's because they are still stuck in the 1980s post video game crash mentality, "it's a toy, not a video game, because R.O.B.". 😆

[wheat plume]

LOL

[reef patrol]

The new way of alt tabbing is so bad.

Whyyyyy.

The hideus blur background doesn't overlay the taskbar.

[pale sigil]

Ikr

[wheat plume]

wut?

[ashen spindle]

just tab fast enough so you dont see it ez

[reef patrol]

This. But the grey has a blur effect. And the taskbar area doesn't have it. It looks "normal" and the tabbing feels laggy to do.

[wheat plume]

this is win + tab?

oh, alt + tab

[reef patrol]

Thank - God. The Win10 mode can still be toggled in regedit.

[fair gull]

those things should still be toggles in settings not regedit hacks

[wheat plume]

Regedit is great for doing basic shit that should be in the GUI

But it shouldn't need to be used for that

[reef patrol]

I'm just glad they haven't blocked these in regedit yet, cause they've remove a lot of them.

[fair gull]

sadly they did

[reef patrol]

My alt tab tweak works. 😄

Win10 menu fallback does not anymore.

`I did share it earlier today

However I am no longer convinced it's actually real

Many people just pointed out a lot of the base images are just stock photos with photoshopped glasses on top

I mean, I'm not sure how common it is for companies to actually use stock photos in their commercial material, but so far I don't think I've ever heard an accusation like that

Use of non-ASCII characters in the registry breaks Windows 11. An example program that uses non-ASCII registry entries is JPKI, which anyone in Japan who does their taxes on their PC uses. https://t.co/KTcPNzRgtS

so

they even broke smth

[shadow minnow]

GPU I wanted, one 3080 ti model is in stock…. For 2100€ on sale from 2300€
So no GPU for bexin

[earnest jay]

Which brand and version?

[shadow minnow]

Aorus waterforce wb

[earnest jay]

Ahh, that explains the price. 😆

[shadow minnow]

Tbh I have kinda stopped following it, just got mail with it being in stock in one store, but otherwise

[lapis flower]

anyone can help me with the wootting software

[shadow minnow]

Not really, waterforce wb costed just as much as any other model of 3080 ti or even 3090 two months ago

[earnest jay]

Fair enough, I'm just speaking from what I experienced in my country regarding pricing, and graphics cards with AIOs were, at the time , a few hundreds more expensive than normal air cooled.

[shadow minnow]

Apple Watch 7 apparently has no diagnostic port. So apple probably already has sth short distance wireless to replace it. Would be interesting to see it on iPhone being able to communicate with MagSafe or sth

[shadow minnow]

With AIOs sure, waterforce wb is waterblocked non AIO model, still probably would be bit more expensive in normal market though

[empty wren]

Phones these days can be programmed wirelessly anyways

[earnest jay]

Ahh, ok.

[shadow minnow]

Well, sure, but wifi and Bluetooth are not the fastest standard since they are meat to be long distance

[empty wren]

Not over that

Bluetooth is honestly a joke

Android has wireless adb but if that is not used well, I am sure they got some kind of hidden menu for whatever

[shadow minnow]

Would be interesting to see short distance wireless sth that is lot faster since it does not need to go far. Maybe there already is sth, but if there was sth even better. Like I would say really short wireless protocol could maybe even reach speeds of usb c if it was just in MagSafe, which would be I terestng.
And speed upgrade from lightning

[empty wren]

Maybe at usb 2.0 specs massage has no transfer capabilities

[shadow minnow]

Which would be interesting. And also finally higher transfer speeds.

[empty wren]

Since even just some pins

[shadow minnow]

Really hope it would be better, even wifi is faster than that

[empty wren]

Not a port would be better for speeda

[empty wren]

Depends on the service

What apple did though basically makes it only align

If they did something like the smart connector that would be enough for some high speed

Apple could use the qi coil for data transfer but I am sure it would be very limited. Google already does this with the Pixel stand chip.

[shadow minnow]

They could probably just go for something higher frequency

Since it would be only short range

and considering speeds not that short range wifi 6e can already achieve

Could be interesting

[empty wren]

Emit more radiation

[shadow minnow]

Yes

[young pecan]

Mostly good.

I’d hope for slightly lower voltage stock and also for them to not mention PhoenixMiner.

PM is kinda garbage tier, but the rest of that info looks solid.

Also I’d guess higher than 72MH/s.

With a good OC and undervolt I’d assume high 70s.

@cedar stag what u programmin?

[cedar stag]

Just some boring C++ stuff. Nothing really special.
