I'm using Insider builds.
Yes, they just released a new build for Fast ring Insiders.

I wonder what they have released for the skip ring
subtle hawk
Perhaps the Skip Ahead will give 21H1 builds.
Right now, Fast ring Insiders are receiving Build 18995. That build has an ability to use Windows Hello PIN while in Safe Mode.

We gonna miss Nokia, so I made a meme.
gloomy tinsel
Nokia is still very much alive
subtle hawk
Yes, but now they are making Android phones right now.
severe falcon
cuz no one wants the crap appstore of windows phones
vagrant holly
why are you acting like nokia using a different OS is a bad thing 
it's still nokia
subtle hawk
Well at least Windows 10 Mobile is now considered a downfall for Microsoft's own mobile OS, so instead they focused on the popular mobilie OSes such as Android. Recently, Microsoft had a Surface event and they reveal the Surface Duo, which is their first phone to run Android.
They also introduced Surface Neo, which is going to run with the new SKU of Windows 10—Windows 10X.
tame topaz
Nokia's KaiOS phones are a bit of a joke software-wise, really.
It sucks, but I'm used to feature phones so I can bear with it.
I have the 8110 and never really regretted buying it.
Besides, it's tough as hell, as per usual for nokia.

Aye, so I attempted to ask in #al-general but it got drowned out quite quickly and I only got half an answer

quartz tide
Did windows home,pro and gaming has difference performance ?
valid acorn
@quartz tide Similar
Not a huge difference
I can't really find the difference between the home version and my pro version
vagrant holly
windows 10 only has home and pro, there is no performance difference between the 2 for gaming (which i think is why you're asking this question), pro and home are the same exact thing out of the box, however, pro has additional features that target businesses like additional encryption and networking capabilities, i don't think you're the kind of person who would need those features so just save the money and get home
subtle hawk
yeah the difference is minor
icy merlin
Pro also has a lot more settings and options they allow you to change and it doesn't come with bloatware and click-to-install tiles on the start screen. I was sickened when I saw a clean windows machine with Candy Crush and other crap games ready to install
subtle hawk
@icy merlin that's bullshit and you know it
a clean pro install is visually the same as home
with all the bloatware and such
icy merlin
valid acorn
Pro has more stuff than home
icy merlin
Not gonna say you're wrong, since I haven't done a win10 install in a while and I always start by removing things, downloading a real browser and then setting up. But I honestly don't remember my win10 pro having click-to-install for crap like that
subtle hawk
I have all 4 editions of Windows: Home, Pro, Enterprise(both normal and LTSB) and Server
and I've had my fair share of experience with all of them
subtle hawk
yeah no
IoT isn't part of the Win10 family
it's a separate version that's more or less a hardware connector between azure and your IoT hardware
cya no
just don't
everyone records telemetry
that's not a valid point anymore
well you are one that likes to tweak the crap out of ur install

The Iowa BBs are getting a huge upgrade and going to be classed as a BBG. (guided missile battleships) 
Railguns, nuclear powered, no more gunpowder but electricity. Its a modern battleship if the plan gets an yes.
tame topaz
@severe ocean it's National Interest, don't bother.
severe ocean
Awww okay, I was hoping it would happen. I love future like tech.
subtle hawk
it's not viable
a giant armored ship with small range is not viable
a small destroyer has a huge range with missiles
that railgun won't be able to fire over the horizon
while a missile easily can
severe falcon
i mean the railgun can def fire over the horizon, cuz iowa could do that back in ww2, its just the missile is gonna be more acurate and have further range. also iowa already has missiles and CIWS, shes basically as modern as you can get without removing her turrets in favor for missile cells
tame topaz
"A Depressed Trajectory and Its Terminus"
gloomy tinsel
Railguns can 100% fire over the horizon, but the other issues remain
A railgun projectile is cheaper, but the system cost is more
severe falcon
i mean you would need a projectile that can be guided but also isnt affected by the electric fields from the shot itself
an unguided railgun is worthless because theres not a system on the planet that can get accurate enough for actual use
tame topaz
Yeah, every shell will need some sort of guidance.
For example the railguns on the huge fucking submarine in Ace Conbat 7 guide its shells with GPS/INS
subtle hawk
yeah
you need something in real time
like a auxiliary plane for the targetting solution
also the problem with railguns is the downtime
it takes a bit to fill the caps back up
because just like batteries
they have a max rate of charging
but in modern warfare a railgun won't be able to fire over the horizon accurately
unless it's a stationary ground target
not to mention that such a BB would need a escort fleet
icy merlin
Toaru Kagaku no Battleshipwaifu
On a more serious note, IoT at least pretends to be part of the win10 family. It even shares a lot of its marshallers that were just compiled for ARM instead of amd64. Too bad they just stopped after compiling half the marshallers so a lot of C# functionality they want you to use doesn't work
gloomy tinsel

I use cheap used business laptops cause I don't need anything more than that
if you don't need a dGPU they're great, like $200 gets you something with an i5-4300U/5200U, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, and maybe a FHD display

The leader of the Windows Insider Program is now vacant as Dona Sarkar moved onto another role of the company.

yamato my ISP is currently dying nationwide

severe falcon

severe falcon
dont you have like 10 Gbps or is that for something else?
severe falcon
yeah im talking like normal everyday internet usage will be impossible
subtle hawk
the other ISP is garbage
severe falcon
cuz the only alternative that isnt satellite is AT&T
severe falcon
pfft we pay for 150 and get 30 if we are really lucky
icy merlin
Sounds familiar. We pay for 50Mb down and we're lucky to hit 18
And yet we also pay for 5 up and I occasionally hit 21
This was a nice surprise earlier this week though. Sometime when I was sure my neighbors were all asleep
gloomy tinsel
Wireless access points :3
flint bobcat
@subtle hawk if you have 3 networks, can every host on each network access 1 printer
gloomy tinsel
Yes, that is possible. Whether it's practical or a good idea probably depends on some other stuff
I'd say it's easier and better if the 3 networks are different VLANs on the same physical network, or physically bridged together
If the networks are physically near to each other, one way you could possibly handle this is by setting up a small computer with multiple Wi-Fi adapters as a print server
Granted this is a more-than-10-year-old blog post from some rando, but it demonstrates the point

does anybody here have a clear idea about how usb 3.1 gen 2x2 works?
i mean so far i understood that 3.1 gen 2x2 is basically 3.1 gen 2 but it uses 2 lanes of 10 Gb/sec in tandem to give you 20 Gb/sec
subtle hawk
pretty much
vagrant holly
so does the usb (or whatever device) you connect have to be enabled for 2x2 or can any 3.1 gen 2 make use of the 2x2 speed as long as the device you connect it to has 2x2 enabled?
or rather, is capable of 2x2
subtle hawk
I think it's the same principle as pciex2
so if the device is only capable of one lane, it'll stay that way
vagrant holly
alright thanks

it's backwards compatible

vagrant holly
ye it's getting a little ridiculous
they are going back and renaming older standards which is like...why
3.0 is now 3.2 gen 1
3.1 is now 3.2 gen 2
3.2 is 3.2 gen 2x2
gen 2x2 actually makes sense once you realize how it achieves the speeds it goes at, but it's still kind of nuts how they renamed past versions
subtle hawk
just rename it so it looks new and compatible

Also, USB 3.0, but USB4

@stone wave most old devices can't hardware decode h.265

it's a problem with new standards, it sometimes takes ages for the majority to implement or have older ones become obsolete

with the fan mat it was at 87

that's why you gotta research it
severe falcon
oh no it was a great laptop

i mean for aria
severe falcon
but it had integrated graphics

like we can point at a laptop and be like this seems to be reasonably priced
but we have no idea if the thermals or build quality is good

if you get one with an actual GPU in it, itll do fine
its just terraria is CPU intensive and now the CPU also has to draw everything

they're all either 2.5" SATA drives or some sort of M.2
flint bobcat
alienware one is M.2
flint bobcat
rip
my old laptop was wack with a soldered 4GB memory
upgraded to max was 20GB
which was weird
stone wave
You just need to figure out what M.2 it uses, if it's NVME replace it with a NVME drive (to keep that awesome speed)
but if it's non-NVME you have to stick with a non-NVME M.2 drive unless the specs mentions it supports NVME
flint bobcat
it just says 512GB PCIE M.2 SSD
stone wave
does it say something like m.2 2280
the last 4 numbers tell you the size
pcie m.2 = nvme
flint bobcat
this is all it says
stone wave
you can try to find more detailed specs elsewhere
flint bobcat
i could check service manual
stone wave
or just pry it open when you get it to check the physical size of the drive
a 1TB NVME 2280 drive is around $100 - $200
stone wave
lol its usually 2280
i bought this the other day, its a SATA m.2 and its this tiny ass 2242 size
flint bobcat
yeah its 2280
stone wave
You could buy the Lenovo I linked from Costco if you have a Costco membership
That supports dual drives
Some laptops have dual drive support but only 1 drive included
stone wave
You can probably just buy a USB-C 3.1 external SSD and be fine
I wouldn't buy a 970 SSD
flint bobcat
i really dislike keeping data in external hard drives
stone wave
Samsung charges a stupid premium
flint bobcat
i mean, do u have any other recommendations for fast speed ssd's?
stone wave
If you have to go Samsung get the one I bought
It's basically a 960 Pro
spec wise
stone wave
yeah you can get something around $120 at the same speed if you want to save
flint bobcat
well i have a year to save
stone wave
the main thing about that drive is MLC flash memory
stone wave
MLC flash memory has a higher read/write endurance than TLC
stone wave
The SM961 is between a 960 Pro and a 970 Pro, the 3D MLC gives it substantially better write endurance and better sequential write performance over cheaper drives you'll find.
And considering a 970 Pro is $350
yeah
But you can get some standard TLC memory NVME drive for like $110
Just find one with DRAM though if you go that route

@subtle hawk it's binary code

it's gonna be missing a lot of stuff
I would know since I took the game apart very often
Yeah, assuming all the logic is on some server elsewhere. But in the off-chance that they do all calculations and just synch up states with the server you can still glean a lot of the information you need. (potentially)
Aside from that, you should be able to decompile to some form of assembly. I haven't done much mobile decompilation so I don't know how the compilers work and how the code interacts with the hardware.
severe falcon
well i assume you can decompile to ARM, but its probably gonna be near unreadable

TL;DR you can't

not even to ARM?
subtle hawk
I mean get the AL source code
even what we get at the end of all that processing doesn't give us much insight if any
Err, Idk, I kinda decompiled it just fine: https://i.imgur.com/tcdKdsa.png
that
that's not decompilation
What would you call it, then?
unpacking
because java apps are never compiled or translated to machine code
since they run in the JVM
severe falcon
wait azur lane is java?
severe falcon
yeah but that doesnt mean you are forced to use java for games
subtle hawk
So apks aren't compiled at all?
no
why would apks be compiled 
I'm thinking too high-level. Probably compiled down from Xamarin or some other higher-level lang
again
not compiled
severe falcon
oh wait it uses unity
subtle hawk
what you're describing is transpiling into another language
Forgive my verbage hehehe
@severe falcon is uses the Unity mobile core along with that sound engine (dunno what's called) as the initial groundwork and bootstrap
then most of the logic is done in the Lua JIT binaries embedded inside the main asset files
severe falcon
and im assuming that technically AL is a 3d game like shovel knight
severe falcon
then is it always just called unity3d?
subtle hawk
beats me
severe falcon
huh
subtle hawk
unity can do 2d lol
subtle hawk
AL uses isometric 3d
basically pseudo 3d in 2d
and 2d nowadays is basically 3d textured planes
severe falcon
then its a 3d game like shovel knight, like i said
subtle hawk
@severe falcon that might've just been boilerplate unity libraries that got brought in.
severe falcon
well yeah thats a possibility
subtle hawk
AL is coded in C
severe falcon
lisp actually
severe falcon
Lego technic code
subtle hawk
binary
severe falcon
that reminds me of the cursed yandev update video
taps 1 and 0 on the number line above the letters randomly
presses enter

of course
umbral onyx
in programming, people use pnorm
to get results
but I want the inverse of pnorm
which is qnorm
umbral onyx
But I am doing math homework
so what the hell is the inside workings of qnorm desu?
severe falcon
uhhh you take the area under the curve and then calculate what the boundary value is
also zilf if YOU are really a CS major, why are you asking ME to figure out a function for you?
gloomy tinsel
@severe falcon btw pics of your crummy cable management
severe falcon
@gloomy tinsel oh crap i forgot, i will try to remember when i get home
gloomy tinsel
Lol
subtle hawk
8.5/10
But that’s only because of the desk
Would be a lot higher if it were different imo
Also nice water pitcher
gloomy tinsel
Lol

@gloomy tinsel i gotta take it apart for cleaning tomorrow so i can get better pics then, but heres where most of the spaghet happens
vagrant holly
finna trigger somebody's bondage fetish with all those cables
severe falcon
thats only half the comp
subtle hawk
what is that cable management???
severe falcon
thats called fitting all the power cables, 4 fan cables, 3 sata cables, and the daisy chain HDD power cables into that tiny space
severe falcon
i mean the case is not meant for what i have in it
gloomy tinsel
I mean you have to dust it out too. Do you not clean your PC? @severe falcon
severe falcon
yes i dust it out
gloomy tinsel
Looks dusty tho
severe falcon
yeah cuz its time to clean it
gloomy tinsel
Lol
subtle hawk
How often do you guys clean your rigs? I personally try to do it at least once every 1-2 months
Probably overkill for me since I try to minimize airflow and not have as much of the stupid "christmas tree on acid" rgb fans everywhere that seem to be popular these days
But I don't have any dust filters either, my room is on the ground floor, and has carpet
solar steppe
I have not cleaned my pc since I got it
10 months ago
I do not have access to an air duster 
wheres muh airduster
subtle hawk
I recommend dedicated air compressors if you can
canned air is a scam
before winter is a good baseline, less dust
wdym less dust
in winter I have all the carpets put on the floors
isn't winter usually the season with the least amount of dust
for people
:thonk:
kind of

i need help, does anyone know if mysql api has a script url so i can use it with the raw javascript?
severe falcon
Dont worry im using node.js now
I have learned its impossible
Listen i figured i could do it because i can use the entire AWS SDK with only browser javascript
subtle hawk
I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard with Japanese layout
how do I get one since I live outside Japan
stone wave
Find a JP HHKB?
subtle hawk
I'm not going to buy it right now though
stone wave
or yahoo auctions japan and find a service that can handle shipping it to you
subtle hawk
something like that, yeah
stone wave
yeah those HHKBs are not cheap
an option is to build one if you find a PCB and backplate that supports a JP layout then you can source the caps
stone wave
full sized, oof yeah custom full sized boards are uncommon
best bet would be to scour yahoo auctions japan
subtle hawk
yeah
man those 10keyless keyboards being on the assumption of latin layouts
meanwhile my language uses all 4 rows for characters
so numpad is a must for arabic numbers when I'm on that layout
stone wave
what language?
subtle hawk
thanks
it's not that important though since I just need it for emulator inputs which I don't currently do
stone wave
wdym emulator inputs?
subtle hawk
emulator for old Japanese computers like pc88, pc98, x68k
stone wave
Ooo, if you're into it you could probably rig up a vintage board to work via USB.
Like with a teensy
subtle hawk
it's frustrating when ろ and - keys are non-existent on US layout
stone wave
is that 2nd character a hyphen?
stone wave
it's there on the US layout
subtle hawk
I meant on Japanese layout
stone wave
ah
subtle hawk
it has different symbols location
stone wave
most keyboards are probably ISO or ANSI and those have the hyphen
but IDK about the JIS layout
oh that reminds me you could probably just search JIS keyboard and eBay should have some results that ship internationally
probably not mechanical but if you just need the layout
subtle hawk
yeah, I might go with that 
I still like my current keyboard
probably save mechanical for US layout

Are keyboard quality in Thailand better than its southern neighbours?
valid acorn
For how much did you bought?
subtle hawk
my brother's is almost 3 years old and switches are getting stiff
but it's mainly because he plays osu! a lot
valid acorn
What's the range of gaming keyboard prices over there?
subtle hawk
I think mine is like $80
Logitech G512
not sure if I remember the number correctly, it's the one with only red led
valid acorn
8000 baht?
valid acorn
That's a very interesting price
I was thinking to buy the logitech, but its a bit expensive (yes, its cheaper than razer)
subtle hawk
why the japanese layout doe
valid acorn
Nice price, damn expensive
valid acorn
Ahhh
quartz tide
Anyone know the xbox controller button spare part name ? I like to change the RB button cuz it wont budge but i dont know the spare part name
gloomy tinsel
Which Xbox controller
Idk the part names but it would prolly help to know which controller
quartz tide
@gloomy tinsel wired Xbox 360 controller for pc
subtle hawk
@gloomy tinsel
also late to the convo but don’t get the k95
please
overpriced garbage
also it has mx browns
aka mx sand
aka mx shit
gloomy tinsel
Apple!
Also some non-MX switches are better in general
MX has the brand recognition but not necessarily the best switches
And offbrand keyboards get you much more bang for buck
subtle hawk
yes
severe falcon
@gloomy tinsel
gloomy tinsel
Fan splitter
severe falcon
No its a fan controller
subtle hawk
get mx red or any linear switches
severe falcon
I need 2 fan controllers cuz the mobo can run 1 fan and i have 6
gloomy tinsel
I use a fan splitter for my front fans actually
My board can take two case fans
I havr two front and one rear
severe falcon
Also my comp has been getting really warm lately, and i have found out that its because one fan controller got discpnnected from power, so i was running on 3 fans
severe falcon

gloomy tinsel
I like clicky clickies, I have MX Blues @subtle hawk
severe falcon
Im getting a new build instead of upgrading anything, whenever i get the money
gloomy tinsel
Can I have your CPU, board, and RAM? :P
severe falcon
Why do you want 2013 parts?
gloomy tinsel
I like old crap
I have a couple Core 2 Quad systems in reserve
Also tbh you can sell your PC
As is
gloomy tinsel
There is a market for old budget PCs like that, regardless
subtle hawk
nah, I think I'll have japanese keyboard as a secondary
severe falcon
Oh yeah def
gloomy tinsel
I know a guy who sells old crap
gloomy tinsel
Buys it for cheap and resells for profit
severe falcon
I just wish i had the actually valuable old stuff in working condition
gloomy tinsel
My server board has one case fan header because Gigabyte cheaped out @subtle hawk
severe falcon
Cuz i got the cheapest mobo as a replacement for my giant atx
subtle hawk
oof
severe falcon
Cuz i bricked it when installing some old amd cards
gloomy tinsel
That said, the case I chose for my server has integrated FCs, so no problems
severe falcon
mine has one, but only 3 connections
subtle hawk
For my next build if I ever get around to building it I think I’ll use a modern case this time
My current rig is all hiding inconspiciously in a Dell optiplex case
subtle hawk
(full form factor tower don’t worry)
gloomy tinsel
My server is very well behaved. The main desktop on the other hand is a bit of a diva
subtle hawk
hm
severe falcon
do they make split ATX towers?
subtle hawk
logitech is called logicool in japan? 
gloomy tinsel
It's great, after the inevitable troubleshooting and setup that crops up when I install a new OS
@severe falcon wdym split
@subtle hawk you have an all AMD build right
severe falcon
Like my current case has the board on one side, and then hdds and psu on the other so its got two compartments and makes the case a cube
gloomy tinsel
Oh I see. Yes they do
subtle hawk
@gloomy tinsel At the moment
gloomy tinsel
Corsair Carbide Air
subtle hawk
okay I think know where to look for japanese keyboard
gloomy tinsel
as an... expensive example
subtle hawk
I forgot Amazon JP exists
gloomy tinsel
Also @severe falcon ur cable management is kinda weak for a case like that :3
subtle hawk
:3
severe falcon
bruh i have 3 hdds
gloomy tinsel
You have a cube and the fan cables aren't routed discretely
severe falcon
well i cant
gloomy tinsel
:<
severe falcon
there are no discrete ways to route them
gloomy tinsel
Sounds like you need extensions :3
severe falcon
if i go behind the mobo, then they have to weave between 3 hdds and the psu
and there is space for 3 hdds
so its wire spaghetti
severe falcon
also i swear that my isp can detect when speedtest is running a test on it
cuz this is GOOD for them
and it was lagging on discord right before
gloomy tinsel
You know ISPs pay Speedtest for results
Use fast.com
Sounds like a great way to add latency and a new attack vector @subtle hawk
Lol
subtle hawk
also I'm okay with any US layout keyboards really because Thai layout is based on it and there are keycap stickers sold
gloomy tinsel
Lol
subtle hawk
lol
subtle hawk
and I rarely type in Thai I'm starting to forget the position of some of the characters
severe falcon
wait pig, youre thai?
subtle hawk
did you just know about that
subtle hawk
@gloomy tinsel not when you’re using spooky advanced wireless induction to power your rig
subtle hawk
it's called single board computer
severe falcon
no like wireless electricity was invented in the 1890s
