LMAO ik its dumb

analog ridge
cold pawn
#

but i dont wanna be behind an OS

rotund lichen
#

I'll wait until it actually comes out
and even then I'll likely still use windows 10

cold pawn
#

even w 5yr support

rotund lichen
#

maybe I'll try it with my old pc first

@cold pawn they did say now that they will allow people like you to install w11

#

Yes @amber carbon

cold pawn
#

you need to update yourself i think

amber carbon
#

Fuck it, not going to bother being Microsoft's test platform.

cold pawn

and idk if that means update through iso or idk

jagged sentinel

Free upgrade is pog

buying new hardware for the new OS is pepega

cold pawn

if it wasnt free

that'd be trash

#

also im in a long need of an upgrade

#

1st gen is like not fast enough for me anymore

#

imma give it to my family pc

#

and get a 3600 for myself

#

(maybe 3700 bc apparently those are a real thing)

#

i thought it only went to 3600

Now I wonder if 5th gen i3 5005u will run windows 11

i too was confused

windows insiders

jagged sentinel
#

@amber carbon yeah I'll wait a bit before I update to make sure it works with all my software and set up a redundancy for the FDE key

cold pawn
#

i feel like these thread things would be more helpful in the build advice channels for one-on-one advice

#

but it probs mean more mods needed

#

bc a thread is basically a mini channel

rotund lichen

#

It would be pretty much impossible to moderate, and there would be wayy to much threads

that is well below minimum wage where I live

cold pawn

and on saturday pay is higher

i get like $11 hourly

knotty solstice

min here is 13.50/hr

cold pawn

cold pawn
knotty solstice
#

the only big thing is if it is a tipped job

cold pawn
#

they base it on age here, so then not only is it cheaper for employers, but also so then younger kids get thrown into the capitilistic system earlie- i mean they get experience

cold pawn
knotty solstice
#

minimum with a tipped job here is $5.55

cold pawn
#

tips like arent really a thing in australia

#

as far as im aware at least

#

How do I earn money at age 14

knotty solstice
#

the whole idea of a tipped wage is weird, you legally can not make less than 13.50/hr when including tips though

cold pawn
#

I'm 14 in October

cold pawn
# cold pawn How do I earn money at age 14

fast food

i got a job at maccas when i was 14 (dont reccomend maccas though, they didnt give me my breaks and it was really stressful, and you'd get burnt alot bc they didn't have proper safety measures in place)

I guess I need to check in Bahrain

It's a redo of the ui and some tweaks to what it runs of going from dx11 to dx12

#

There is no Spyware

glossy sorrel
#

Come on, camera + mic requirements for all laptops? Amazon embedded into the os? Removing, local, non ms tied windows accounts? Embedding teams into w11?

tender sage
#

U don't need camera

glossy sorrel
#

on laptops u will

tender sage
#

No

analog ridge
#

and online accounts are a thing because disk encryption is a good thing and users are idiots.

#

there is nothing wrong with having an online account

glossy sorrel
#

Yeah but forcing these stuff is shetty imo

tender sage
#

Well don't upgrade then

glossy sorrel
analog ridge
#

there is no bloatware.

#

its features

#

that do fuck all if not in use

#

and data collection is good, its called telemetrics and helps the os development

tender sage

And + u can trun that off

idk, i feel like w11 is overhyped, and ms is just taking the wrong approach here ngl

tender sage
#

Cool I really like win11 and think it's a great upgrade

analog ridge
#

its not been hyped at all, and is a necessary update to allow modern security features.

glossy sorrel
#

The security features were always here, they're now forcing it on users

analog ridge
tender sage
#

Yea but win11 is bringing it up

analog ridge
#

and have been many many times

#

also why would you care if people knew how many times your app crashed?

glossy sorrel
#

windows 10 alone, (at least officially), collects:

not true.

thats cortana and only if you enable it

Cortana cringeherold I disabled that within 5 seconds after installing win cringeherold wonka

and its this.

not true and will hit the spam filter

if you are going to try to post it, just post the source.

"its not just a design update"

tender sage
#

Mate if u don't like windows getting so much data just use macos

analog ridge
#

not shilling just correcting misinformation

tender sage
#

And I don't think windows did ever day it was just a design update

#

Say*

analog ridge
#

nope and nor is it.

jagged sentinel
#

i mean the only significant changes that can be said that weren't just "design updates" would be from Windows 2000 -> XP, XP->Vista, and 8->10

#

introduction of UAC perms, complete redesign of settings panels and notifications, and driver model changes

analog ridge
#

bitlocker on home.

jagged sentinel
#

I don't understand the insistence on every update being some ground breaking reimagining of a system that works and works well

tender sage
#

And win10 to win11 is going from dx11 to dx12 which shouldn't be a huge deal unless u use super super old cards

jagged sentinel
#

when's the last time Linux fundamentally changed? why don't people complain when Ubuntu changes from Unity to Gnome by saying "it was only an aesthetics change!"

analog ridge
#

ongoing iteration is a good thing, especially when the update is free

tender sage
#

Yea

jagged sentinel
#

I've read about that

#

I know a lot of people still despise it

#

but that was yeeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago, which was my point

#

the same people that decry windows for not making major fundamental changes sit by and are happy with a mostly stagnant Linux

#

that's so damn stationary that programs from the 80s will still run

glossy sorrel
#

I find it funny how linux got bought into this when it wasn’t even mentioned but wkek

glossy sorrel
jagged sentinel
#

you're just advertising linux to me

#

i already know what it is and use it frequently

glossy sorrel
#

My main point was that windows 11 is just overhyped, it should’ve just been windows 10 20H3 or something imo

jagged sentinel
#

I'm specifically calling out people that are complaining that W11 isn't some groundbreaking change when a) that's only happened a handful of times in previous Windows updates, nobody complained then, and b) those same people are typically linux fans and don't complain when linux updates are incredibly minor

jagged sentinel
#

It's way easier to just say "You need X requirements to run Windows 11" than to say "You need X requirements to run this specific update of Windows 10 and later" when the majority of people will have never heard of the 20HX style of naming

glossy sorrel
#

ig

jagged sentinel
#

And plus a new name coincides with the new look+feel of it

glossy sorrel
#

Yeah but they’ll have much less funding than microsoft has

jagged sentinel
#

Microsoft submits a ton of patches to the Linux kernel anyways

#

fun fact

#

Microsoft and friends also have a bunch of people on for example the C and C++ committee teams and their compiler dev teams as well

#

very fun, very cool

cold pawn

Baboabooey

Yeah, considering that windows 11 will have ads apparently, I'm definitely going to stick to windows 10 for as long as possible.
...but who's to say microsoft won't add ads to windows 10?

jagged sentinel

must be the dev preview

beta preview doesnt have that

or at least on my laptop

inland seal

weird on my laptop it runs fine

and its all updated

🤷‍♀️

tender sage
#

my only issue with win11 rn is translucent tb doing some funky issues farm_4z_Hah

inland seal

I'm pissed off at the fact that auto-hide doesn't work on the second monitor.

This was apparently fixed in the Dev update yesterday, though.

Probably going to swap over to that from Beta.

We have a choice to stick to win10 right?

leaden oxide
#

It's based on Zen (1), so 1000 series CPUs

terse river
#

yes

#

good job

#

lol

#

I don't even have the processor

#

I was just using it to show that saying 2000 series isn't really enough

knotty solstice
#

@terse river the real question is the 1600AF. Is that Zen or Zen+?

terse river
#

zen 1 right?

#

Isn't it just zen 1 on a small node

knotty solstice
#

I dont think that is how it works though, I think it actually is zen+, isn't it?

#

for example it runs on X570 boards when a 1600 does not

#

@terse river In December 2019 AMD silently launched a new variant, dubbed Ryzen 5 1600 "AF" (based on the changed SKU). It's based on the newer and improved Zen+ architecture and user testings suggest a slightly higher boost clock (3600Mhz compared to 3300MHz for original "AE") under multi-core load compared to the fresh-man 1600.

#

Ryzen 5 1600 is a 64-bit hexa-core mid-range performance x86 desktop microprocessor introduced by AMD in early 2017. This processor is based on AMD's Zen microarchitecture and is fabricated on a 14 nm process. The 1600 operates at a base frequency of 3.2 GHz with a TDP of 65 W and a Boost frequency of up to 3.6 GHz. This model is a less overcloc...

terse river
#

i dunno it's weird

#

@knotty solstice it's not on the compatibility list so it's not compatible

knotty solstice
#

I wonder if it would pass the check though, is MS actually checking model numbers or just supported features? @terse river

terse river
#

It's a CPU whitelist

#

they're actually checking models

knotty solstice
#

@terse river so is a 4700s on their list? Pretty sure it's not

leaden oxide
#

Isn't

leaden oxide
#

I think it's just CPUs that have TPM 2.0 integrated

terse river
#

idk

#

@leaden oxide it's not that

#

Because the 1600 has TPM 2.0 support

#

Either the 4700S just counts as a 4700 or people are out of luck @knotty solstice

knotty solstice
terse river
#

weird

knotty solstice

cause it literally is a Zen+ part

I swapped back to the Dev channel because it fixed the taskbars on multiple monitors.

Here's hoping nothing else breaks.

haven't noticed anything wrong so far

I prefer my taskbars to be hidden.

Couldn't get the one on the secondary monitor to pop up.

i have mine showing at all times, so didn't notice that

I'm still pissed that I can't move them from the bottom.

Will everyone need a new product key for Windows 11 if they don't do the free upgrade?

A lot more security applied by default and intergal to the os

Should i go for Insider Beta channel or Dev one?

Technically all Insider Previews are free evaluations

Whichever

I find them all drivable enough

But I have my homework done

how is it wasting everyone else's time

analog ridge

when you ask for support 😄

coral harbor
#

i installed the beta for no reason, been fine, can't wait til it breaks

#

but to be fair all i do on my pc is spew garbage on bapo and play games

inland seal
#

I'm on the Dev channel.

#

Beta didn't have a fix for the taskbar.

dawn vale
#

Indeed, the Preview enrollment requires you start from a licensed state when done from client Windows

#

But my legal Education copy, when promoted to Insiders, is treated as an evaluation regardless

tender sage
#

or i may just be going nuts pepegiggle

dawn vale
#

Taskbar visuals

#

that's all

#

I have no wireless on the desktop either

#

[and no battery]

so we share all of two icons

#

I assume we're on the same build

tender sage

im on beta pepegiggle

dawn vale

unlikely, then

oh well

it looks diff for me then pepegiggle guess im going nuts

but im sure u heard of that pepegiggle

rotund lichen
#

But no significant performance changes, right?

tender sage
#

dx11 to dx12

#

and right now

#

im thinking win11 is a bit under optimized

#

my laptop battery is better in games then on idle cringeherold

rotund lichen
#

Hah

tender sage
#

that and my cinebench score droped 3k points

but hopefully thats just me and the actuall release or ur experince is better

rotund lichen

hopefully lol

i dont want to reinstall windows to get my battery life back LOL

dawn vale
#

Instrumentation is not cheap

tender sage
#

?

inland seal
dawn vale
#

👌

inland seal
#

Is the notification center broken for you, too?

dawn vale
#

Mainly because, well, we're all voluntary test subjects

#

So there's plenty of diagnostics being tracked and sent

inland seal
#

Clicking on the date/time/notification icon doesn't pull anything up.

dawn vale
#

It works well for me.

inland seal
#

Hm.

dawn vale
inland seal
#

Odd.

dawn vale
#

Freshly installed?

#

Might want to hit the restart at some point

#

It's finicky

inland seal
#

Nah, I've been running Win 11 since day 2.

dawn vale
#

I would not know in that case

#

Most likely broken from the start through upgrades

#

Here's an interesting quirk

#

it took the latest preview to make Start launch on both my monitors

#

previously, it only worked on the primary monitor

inland seal
#

Huh.

dawn vale
#

and note that I had to reinstall to get that going

#

Upgrades probably don't eliminate old bugs

inland seal
#

The latest preview was the first one to fix the auto-hide taskbar on both screens.

dawn vale
#

I'm still irked by things I reported ages ago

#

They're still not being acted upon

#

It's maddening

inland seal
#

Infuriating.

dawn vale
#

There's also winget

inland seal
#

Which is super cool.

dawn vale
#

it's great, and I assume will at some point become shipped with Windows

#

by default

#

but:

#

it doesn't work for me!

#

in fact, it doesn't work for a whole class of users

inland seal
#

Yikes.

dawn vale
#

we're having fucking character map issues.

#

in 2021...

inland seal
dawn vale
#

I only hope they're not going to bury the ticket

#

I would actually volunteer to fix it myself, but there's a problem

#

I have no idea how std::filesystem::rename is implemented under Windows

#

it likely maps to some Windows call, but I don't know which one

#

and without that, I can't understand why it behaves the way it does

#

the joys of bugfixing on closed stuff, eh

inland seal
#

Woo?

dawn vale
#

It won't be nice if they bury this

#

I'll keep pinging them weekly

#

This is a big omission

inland seal
#

Yeah, that's huge and definitely needs to be fixed.

dawn vale
#

But

#

There is a fortunate aspect to all of this

#

It made me do some good testing of winget's most useful feature, by far

#

Package autodetection!

#

You can install something without using winget and it'll still detect the install

#

[and consequently be able to manage it]

inland seal
#

Fancy.

dawn vale
#

So it's a nice in-place upgrade to existing systems too

#

I have no idea how they've actually done that, though

tender sage
#

But that's a few weeks out

umbral gazelle
#

Has win 11 optimized the CPU time wasted on unused features

dawn vale
#

No point

#

There was none being wasted in the first place

terse river
#

I mean, what does “unused” means

#

If they aren’t using resources then they don’t use any resources

dawn vale
terse river
#

So like I guess the answer is no they haven’t optimised it because there’s nothing to optimise

dawn vale
#

Not to mention the part where you can just excise the things you genuinely don't use.

#

It hasn't been hard in the last five years.

umbral gazelle
#

I double dog dare you to go into the service components widow

dawn vale
#

Okay

#

What of it

umbral gazelle
#

And tell me there's not wasted latency

dawn vale
#

Wasted latency?

umbral gazelle
#

I make my PC feel new again with that

#

Yeah disablinb services like the wireless display

#

It was never on but it still runs

dawn vale
#

Yes there's a bit of a problem with this

#

Running need not mean doing anything

#

consequently using anything

umbral gazelle
#

It made a world of a difference

dawn vale
#

I'd like to see how much latency was genuinely saved with some actionable data

#

Because the amounts saved generally don't fall into the visible range

#

At least from what individual latency measurements in the whole input chain have shown

umbral gazelle
#

Idk how to quantify it but it felt like I just saw 144hz for the first time again

terse river
#

Nah

dawn vale
#

Right, but that's the eye test, and an eye test isn't convincing

umbral gazelle
#

I play comp fps tho so I am more sensitive to things like this

dawn vale
#

Hm

#

No I'm not sure we're talking amounts that you'd feel even at that refresh rate

terse river
#

You know what else makes people feel like a screen is smoother? Simply telling them that it is

#

I’m not joking

dawn vale
#

How do I best put this into perspective

terse river
#

You can tell people “this screen is smoother than that screen” and they’ll look at both and agree with you

#

Even if they’re the same screen

#

If you’re expecting to see a difference then yeah I can understand why you would

terse river
#

But without actual objective measurements I do not believe you

dawn vale
#

Here's the thing

#

Generally, the whole chain

umbral gazelle
#

I I will see if I have a video recording of it I remember getting so excited that I filmed my monitor with my phone

dawn vale
#

as in, the whole input chain

umbral gazelle
#

But I can guarantee you that it wasnt placebo

dawn vale
#

has been observed to suffer from a general latency figure of ~100ms

#

this is down to actual hardware- physics

terse river
#

And with something that indicates when an input has occured

#

Something visual

umbral gazelle
#

It was 60fps, it showed up really clearly in the footage

dawn vale
#

Ideally, you would also know the game is not wasting latency

#

This need not be the case

#

But here's the point I'm trying to make

#

Your whole chain

#

has a compound figure, on average, well below what can be considered a sensible reaction time

#

Your OS is the last of your worries

#

Disabling core system services for want of "latency" is, thus far- and it's really been a while

#

largely unsubstantiated

#

nobody's even managed to procure accurate measurements

umbral gazelle
#

You're saying that performance gain would be neutralized by some other aspect of the chain, idk what that is called, schedule?

dawn vale
#

I'm saying you're gimped by your hands, then your hardware, then maybe your settings, then maybe the game

umbral gazelle
#

Hopefully you understand when I mean but I write some ods shit like that

terse river
#

If a wireless display driver is actually causing latency problems it’s due to a major bug in the driver

#

Like a MAJOR bug

#

Not just “resources being wasted on unused services”

dawn vale
#

A service sitting around, waiting, yielding its timeslice constantly for having nothing to do- that's not the source of your issues

#

I'm not saying freak accidents have never happened

#

Sometimes you have had genuine issues that had a measurable impact on latency

umbral gazelle
#

Im synesthetic I wouldn't be able to miss something like that on my hand

dawn vale
#

But what I'm also saying is that you have so many things in the chain it's quite difficult to try tackling every single one

#

or even measuring the effect of every single one

umbral gazelle
#

But I didn't just disable component services I also deleted firewall rules and set it to reqyire a rule in and out

#

There's a lot of things that I destroyed in Windows

dawn vale
#

I see no point or gain in that

#

But do as you please

#

And believe is best

umbral gazelle
#

I changed the CPU core affinity the priority I changed the task scheduler I deleted a shit ton of registry files I disabled a lot of drivers

#

It was honestly huge idk what to say

terse river
#

Have fun when something just doesn’t work and you have no idea why

#

And the only solution is a complete reinstall

dawn vale
#

If out-and-out performance is what you'd like, go on ahead, I guess

#

But do be careful

#

Some things are not quite meant to be meddled with

umbral gazelle
#

I had a lot of fun doing that troubleshooting

#

Also brave sloth you're being kind of a prick

dawn vale
#

Admittedly, I'm humoring the idea more than I should

#

If we're going based on what we've got some kind of data for, it's all pretty unsubstantiated

umbral gazelle
#

Windows was literally amputated beyond recognition

#

If you have fun tweaking windows I highly recommend it

dawn vale
#

The last time I heard someone claim frenetic Windows tweaking was the solution, it was some mad Bulgarian that tried to pawn off his dirty, God-knows-how modified Windows ISO on people

#

I have fun tweaking the system in generally non-breaking ways

umbral gazelle
#

And you know what that's actually how my laptop has come to its end

dawn vale
#

Hm

#

I'm not entirely sure I buy that

umbral gazelle
#

I broke my installed OEM windows

dawn vale
#

Sure

umbral gazelle
#

Windows couldn't repair

dawn vale
#

Reinstall it again

#

It's a fifteen-minute job

umbral gazelle
#

I don't wanna make an image

dawn vale
#

That's strictly a you problem

umbral gazelle
#

This laptop has already died for me emotionally

#

It's lived a long life

dawn vale
#

No comment

umbral gazelle
#

2 years to be exact

#

That's not a very long way but it felt like a long life considering when I put it thru

terse river
#

Saying I'm being a prick and then admitting that you already did the thing that I was talking about is some top tier banter

dawn vale
#

I think that's just a hilarious waste of hardware

#

Put it to some decent use and quit butchering your OS for no reason. If butchering's your kind of deal, there are experiences designed from the ground up for that

#

CS:GO has native Linux binaries, doesn't ti?

umbral gazelle
#

It wasn't a waste I got more than my $600 worth and by that point I was already getting components together for my new px

dawn vale
#

If you genuinely want a ride down latency lane, try your hand at a Linux distribution next

#

You'll find that

umbral gazelle
#

Yeee

dawn vale
#

A) they're more tolerant of rampant, unnecessary modification

#

and B) you can do something with rampant, unnecessary modification

#

it might be a complete counterproductive effect, that's also been observed, but it'll sure do something

umbral gazelle
#

Yeah too bad valorant anti cheat doesn't run on Linux

dawn vale
#

even if that something is the exact opposite of what you'd like

umbral gazelle
#

That's the only bummer I'm going to dual boot it anyways

#

Yeah I have an options addiction

dawn vale
#

I can tell

#

Which is fine

#

As long as you don't outright recommend the same to people that don't know better

umbral gazelle
#

Anything I gives me more power than I should have it's just euphoric

dawn vale
#

Hacking is a fun activity, but it's best experienced in an environment that's conducive to it

umbral gazelle
#

whenever I tell people I'm doing they don't want anything to do with it

dawn vale
#

I don't blame them

umbral gazelle
#

Yeah. Really fucking annoying to use that computer towards the end

dawn vale
#

Functionality is the number one priority of most people, not without reason

umbral gazelle
#

My God it was fast I literally I have never seen the cursor move so continuously on desktop

#

That's the thing basically made the movement extremely continuous

inland seal
#

...

dawn vale
#

I'm not sure I follow the logic, but then again, I'm not particularly keen on it either way

inland seal
#

@dawn vale The calendar and notifications just started working again.

#

I'm not sure what I did.

dawn vale
#

Nice

umbral gazelle
#

I can rephrase with that

inland seal
#

I haven't restarted the computer.

dawn vale
#

You don't need to, I get the gist of it

#

But yes

#

Happy hacking, and try your hand at a *nix distro with, perhaps, Liquorix or XanMod next

inland seal
#

In fact, they just popped up out of the blue. Taskbar was hidden. I'm working on something in a Chrome window.

dawn vale
#

[or whatever manner of two-bit hack you find/devise]

umbral gazelle
#

What are you doing?

dawn vale
#

Erratic behavior has been pretty common in the Insider Previews thus far

#

One of the builds produced Explorer/shell restarts every 15 minutes

inland seal
#

I have my Core 2 exam tomorrow.

dawn vale
#

I would not be worried about something like the A+ if I were in your position

terse river
#

Core 2? Wow that's old

dawn vale
#

I think you'll ace it

inland seal
#

I'm not overly worried.

#

But I would very much like not to fail.

umbral gazelle
#

Is that like a course on how CPU architecture interacts with ein

#

If you can still buy that stuff I have a question for y'all

inland seal
umbral gazelle
#

This it's impossible to explain I don't have the technical knowledge required LOL

#

I want to make it good for music production but no one fucking in the ass but that actually entails besides an SSD and a decent CPU

#

There's an idea that you have to minimize system interrupts because those directly taxing your buffer size operate under, the goal is to be as close to real time rendering as possible

#

Well if anyone's up to answer this one or try to answer it would be greatly appreciated

#

I can add more information about how a daw operates too

terse river
#

Surely the answer is just throw more CPU at it

umbral gazelle
#

Unfortunately not

#

I wish that was the answer but you have to like optimize every single USB device that's plugged in to computer and you choice of hardware has to play nice because if there's some kind of conflict thats like 5% of the buffer gone

terse river
#

CPUs are so much faster than they were 4 years ago

#

Were people not able to do real time music production 4 years ago

#

It seems like it would be pretty binary on whether the processor can keep up or not

umbral gazelle
#

CPU isn't the bottleneck now

terse river
#

Not like video editing where it can be slow to varying degrees

umbral gazelle
#

And to say nothing to do with synths outran the bottlenecks

#

The amount you can do*

#

I'll get it one day

terse river
#

So what's the bottleneck

#

I'm not sure I follow

#

Is it RAM speed?

#

Is it storage speed?

umbral gazelle
#

Ran could be, I got some 14 14 14 34 memory so I think I would be covered there

#

Though I don't really know how that Larry will behave in my system

#

You have to do memory training for the timings?

#

And the storage is pissing me off because when people say fast storage the only thing I've ever talking about is like read and write speeds

#

Is it IO/s that well give a storage drive the latency for information access

#

It's giving me a headache

jagged sentinel
#

You can find latency information online and from anyone yet actually knows what they are talking about

umbral gazelle
#

Yes finding that is not as easy as you would imagine

#

There's a lot of ppl like me that sound like they know what they're talking about to a noob but in reality they don't

#

Is kind of hard to filter out noise in the PC enthusiast space because 85% of all information is crap

terse river
#

I simply don't trust anyone until they provide hard numbers

umbral gazelle
#

Yes and especially to interpret them

#

It's just choose whatever numbers fit their narrative and call it a day, leave out the rest

#

Yeah you know what I wonder why it's so bad for this type of thing because this does not really happen in music production If communities the way I see it here, I wonder if it has to do with a younger overall audience combined with the cost of buying into this hobby

#

It kind of makes you more Invested in being right about you understanding of things

dawn vale
#

It's just the size of the respective communities

#

Music production and PC building don't register on the same fucking order of magnitude in terms of baseline knowledge and relative popularity

#

Consequently, there's less involvement required here

I mean it's a first party source

#

it's better than an anonymous source @jagged sentinel

jagged sentinel
#

that is true

dawn vale
#

or, better still

#

actual third-party sources, like Anand, discussing known improvements to components

terse river
#

that's alder

#

the article above was talking about windows in general @dawn vale

dawn vale
#

In previous versions of Windows, the scheduler had to rely on analysing the programs on its own, inferring performance requirements of a thread but with no real underlying understanding of what was happening. Windows 11 leverages new technology to understand different performance modes, instruction sets, and it also gets hints about which threads rate higher and which ones are worth demoting if a higher priority thread needs the performance.

pretty sure the average user will be able to muster an upgrade to a 2017-era machine by 2025

I somehow still get updates

Well, you will get updates of some kind

They're just no longer going to be for the relevant Insider flight

#

You're already gone from flighting if that's what it shows

cold pawn
#

How do I remove this orange notification

coral harbor
#

Click it

#

Should go away

cold pawn
#

I think I just have so many discord notifications that it's always orange

#

I unpinned and repinned to taskbar and it's gone now

jagged sentinel
#

So clear those notifications

#

Right click > Mark as read for each server

#

Then mute them so you stop getting unnecessary notifications

terse river
jagged sentinel
terse river
#

cool

#

this doesn't disable that

#

it just disables it on the taskbar

tender sage
#

i just have push notifcations on then i get it on my phone and not my pc farm_4z_Hah

jagged sentinel
terse river
#

this implies that you don't have a monitor whose sole purpose is having discord open @jagged sentinel

jagged sentinel
#

i often have several other applications open on top of it lol

terse river
#

then you need more monitors

#

how many do you have

jagged sentinel
#

2 usually 3

terse river
#

sounds like you need 4

#

not much that can be done I'm afraid

full zenith
#

so I get the actual windows 11 updates

#

kind of like windows 10 without insider

#

I'm guessing that is

jagged sentinel
#

you may get updates

#

microsoft is saying they may not push updates for unsupported systems

#

which basically means you'll probably get them delayed or with bugs

it really shouldn't matter to you since that driver will work with 10

The same driver works for both that is why they are listed together

Yeah windows 11 is more or less just a windows 10 reskin with a few added features, right?

actually that kinda sounds like most windows updates

i mean there's some deeper changes that are more than a reskin but it's still all compatible

knotty solstice

So I am officially maining dev branch for the next ~10 days. Wish me luck!

Why@knotty solstice

tawdry valve

Is it true there gon be android built in?

I am going to wait until I upgrade to 11 to verify all my engineering devices work

knotty solstice
knotty solstice
jagged sentinel
#

W11 is still going to have DX11 lol

#

it's not going to force games to start using DX12, that would break too much stuff

#

Although DX backwards compatibility is mostly alright

#

That is not at all how that works

#

if a game was made in DX11, W11 requiring a DX12 card is not going to change anything

terse river
#

The DX12 requirement is there so that developers and Microsoft all know that every single Windows 11 machine will support the same minimum feature set

jagged sentinel
#

And there can be multiple reasons for a game performing worse in DX12... mostly related to just programming... DX12 is much harder to program than DX11 so many devs can just do worse at it. It's also designer with newer GPUs in mind so older ones may not have the architectural features DX12 is optimized for

terse river
#

Same with most of the other requirements for 12

coral harbor

I love Paint3D

Isn't it on the Microsoft store?

Why is changing default apps so much irritating in W11

amber carbon

Because they want you to use edge.

I can't think of any reason to force you to update each possible extension individually without giving you a "change all" button.

rotund lichen

edge isn't even that bad of a browser imo, it's just the fact that microsoft begs you to use it is so annoying

Precisely

google also begs you to use their browser

they even have an entire operating system where chrome is the only choice of browser that you get

jagged sentinel

but nobody cares

terse river

because it's google and not microsoft

#

yeah

rotund lichen
# terse river google also begs you to use their browser

Begs as in asks you to set chrome to default? Pretty sure every browser does that. Edge though, if you type in Chrome to the windows search bar, even if you have Chrome installed, edge will pop up and say "windows 10 recommended browser" or something like that. I can't speak for chromeos since a) in prefer not to use it and b) I haven't tried to install another browser on it.

they also pester you to download chrome when you use google search
