get managed nerd

i hacked u

[hoary nacelle]

this is the one thing i will not do lol... i dont like it moving when new stuff opens + when i do things like rpcs3 compiling shaders a thousand windows pop up so it would be hell lol

[thorn lagoon]

TaleSpin#1312 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[shadow jay]

[runic geyser]

ok no

[runic geyser]

have only 1 language on your pc

[shadow jay]

owkie

fixed

because its ugly

[runic geyser]

why does it matter

it's set to low

[thorn lagoon]

cant upgrade windows

[runic geyser]

you make any GPO changes?

[shadow jay]

why

[hoary nacelle]

this looks so good 😩

[runic geyser]

[runic geyser]

should i run the dev channel win server

wait my key wouldnt work

[shadow jay]

win11 so smooth

xD

[runic geyser]

[hoary nacelle]

[shadow jay]

reeee

[runic geyser]

[hoary nacelle]

ooh

[runic geyser]

im actually like 10ft away from this server rn

[hoary nacelle]

my biggest flex

[thorn lagoon]

Read the name of that emote

[runic geyser]

[shadow jay]

thats game breaking xD

for gym ai

@hoary nacelle we got androud . linux . windows

all in one solution xD

android is not up yet xD

sad

[hoary nacelle]

sad

[runic geyser]

@hoary nacelle i think surface will be useful when android support goes live

[hoary nacelle]

i mean i can install spyware tiktok

[hoary nacelle]

YES

[runic geyser]

u can use the 3 android apps worth using

[hoary nacelle]

oh ew nvm this isnt a desktop app

this is the chrome thing where you can install a website as an app

-_-

[runic geyser]

kek

i think only time i used android apps was for wireguard

and telegram and keybase

[hoary nacelle]

why does windows dvd player cost $15?

[runic geyser]

are u on pro

[hoary nacelle]

yes

like vlc is free...

and its on the mc store anyways...

[dense mirage]

I'm interesting in how the android app side loading will work with app development

[hoary nacelle]

im loving the new file explorer

[hoary nacelle]

was it confirmed you can just install .apks?

[dense mirage]

I know people figured out side loading, not sure how

[hoary nacelle]

ah

2021 and steam still takes this long to load...

[vestal ibex]

2021 and Steam still fails to load at all half the time for me
Pretty sure it's my ipv6 only internet connection that messes with it since it runs fine on my vpn

[runic geyser]

why are u ipv6 only

[dense mirage]

Should grab a terminal emulator app and poke around at how the system works

[runic geyser]

i despise ipv6 lmao

[dense mirage]

Wait, seriously or joke

[vestal ibex]

Ask t-mobile

[runic geyser]

unironically i disable ipv6 on every box i run

[dense mirage]

[runic geyser]

ipv4 or bust

[dense mirage]

I thought you were a sysadmin

[runic geyser]

people can still be cringe and resolve ipv6 if they want to

since cloudflare

[runic geyser]

i'm more sales tbh

[dense mirage]

Oh

[runic geyser]

i used to be a sysadmin

[dense mirage]

That actually explains a lot lol

[runic geyser]

also how i run my own infra is 100% different from how i run client infra

[hoary nacelle]

im clogging the windows feedback hub of garbage like "fix the spacing between these icons"

[runic geyser]

i just meme a lot outside of work

[dense mirage]

Is it possible to roll back to 10 after trying the dev build?

[crisp spire]

Im loving win 11 with auto hide taskbar

[crisp spire]

yus

[hoary nacelle]

has it changed?

[dense mirage]

Might have to try it then

[crisp spire]

Yeah its actually very nice

[runic geyser]

i like being able to remember my ip addresses so i only use v4

since that's actually possible to remember off the top of my head

[dense mirage]

What, you can't remember hex?

[hoary nacelle]

i dont feel a difference

[crisp spire]

theres a slight difference imo

[runic geyser]

[thorn lagoon]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, A, B, C, D, E, F.

[dense mirage]

2001:4860:4860:8888

[vestal ibex]

ipv6 is easy when your address is something like 1010::7517

[runic geyser]

ipv6 never easy

[runic geyser]

i have memory issues and v4 is a sturggle for me

[hoary nacelle]

neofetch couldnt figure out which os it was on lol

[thorn lagoon]

ooh, I like spotify's new look

[runic geyser]

it just did fallback to generic windows/win server

[thorn lagoon]

yeah same with me lol, it just does old windows

[hoary nacelle]

https://github.com/khanhas/spicetify-cli

[thorn lagoon]

oh its a client

still

might dl

[runic geyser]

same thing

[hoary nacelle]

old windows looks better in ascii art anyways

[thorn lagoon]

yeah

[hoary nacelle]

no

[dense mirage]

My main grips about V6 is I always try to type /16 and /24 for local nets, and it gets sad

[hoary nacelle]

command line tool for injecting css to the spotify player

[hoary nacelle]

the tutorial i followed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRhratE0KNk

might have to theme it to fit the new windows colors

[runic geyser]

i just tried to learn v6 and couldnt remember it

so then i got salt

so no lililabs clients got v6 ever

except for one person who needed a /64 or smth

[dense mirage]

I just have spicetify sync with the album art colors

[runic geyser]

i charged them like 600 setup fee and got them a /64 announced

[hoary nacelle]

mmmm

open with menu is nice

[runic geyser]

no clue why they paid it, was basically me saying "no"

[dense mirage]

Copy as path 👀

[thorn lagoon]

why does powershell not recognize le funni money sign

[dense mirage]

Finally actually saying what it does

[vestal ibex]

Wait, that was a /64 local net? Who needs more than 16 million addresses on a network?

[thorn lagoon]

nevermind

[runic geyser]

they wanted /64 announced to the internet

it's pretty standard to offer /64 since ipv6 is worthless

[dense mirage]

More than that even

[vestal ibex]

Yes I could get more specific but that's the rough number of assignable addresses on a 10.0.0.0 /8 net

[runic geyser]

18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses to be exact

[dense mirage]

Yup

[hoary nacelle]

omg i didnt even see that

i mean you can still drag files straight to powershell to get the file path

but thats cool lol

windows confuses me... they add "copy as path" yet they remove win x + u + u shortcut

[dense mirage]

What did that do?

[hoary nacelle]

also i riced spotify more

its blue now :)

[hoary nacelle]

shut down the computer

x + u + r restarted, x + u + s slept

[dense mirage]

Can you still alt+f4 it?

[hoary nacelle]

if they removed that id switch to linux on the spot

alt f4 closes programs tho

win + x + u + u shuts down the computer

[dense mirage]

If you do it on the desktop it gives you a shutdown menu

[hoary nacelle]

well i mean like

press win + x

then press u by itself

then press u again

on windows 10

never thought id say the user account control menu looked pretty

[vestal ibex]

That's a lot less offensive and intimidating than the old UAC

[hoary nacelle]

oh well i have mine set to not take over the whole screen

[vestal ibex]

I usually have it set to that too but the old one was more in your face. I've had a lot of users call me in a panic over that window.

[hoary nacelle]

lol

i didnt know i could view this LOL

omg this looks so nice

[dense mirage]

Okay, I'm sold

[vestal ibex]

That's been in W10 forever

[hoary nacelle]

yea i just never saw it lol

[hoary nacelle]

what sold you

[dense mirage]

That devices menu

[hoary nacelle]

haha

[vestal ibex]

The BT menu? It does look a LOT cleaner

[hoary nacelle]

its so much better

[vestal ibex]

Much more like a mobile OS but that's not a bad thing here

[hoary nacelle]

i mean its still trash if you press "view all devices" but i like the new one

[hoary nacelle]

typically bluetooth things are more mobile oriented anyways

[dense mirage]

How is audio device selection in general handled?

[hoary nacelle]

after clicking this

[dense mirage]

Eh, could be better

[hoary nacelle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i typically dont have to change it too often, so not too bad

[dense mirage]

Audio systems are bane of my existence number 13

[vestal ibex]

I have 2 different sets of hardware buttons to adjust volume so I'll never touch that menu

[hoary nacelle]

they replaced volume mixer with this

which i have mixed feelings about...

[dense mirage]

Bah dum ticsh

[thorn lagoon]

I just always did windows+g anyways

speaking of, test that rq

[hoary nacelle]

on one hand not having to fully open settings was nice, on the other i like how it combines input/output and app volume in one screen

windows gamebar is too laggy

[vestal ibex]

At least they kept the per-app volume settings

[thorn lagoon]

just try it for me rq

pls

[hoary nacelle]

i did it

nothings changed

[dense mirage]

Wonder how much of a pain cuda will be

[hoary nacelle]

new system wide default ui icons look nice

those were in desperate need of an update

ive submitted like 4 feedback tickets lololol

[hoary nacelle]

apple still takes the cake on default ui elements

animations and such

but this is appreciated still

new notification center looks cool

[shadow jay]

android app sold me to windows 11

xD

can i root it

[shadow jay]

yeah not a long notification with rectangles

any more

[hoary nacelle]

yes

[shadow jay]

have u tried to press mute @hoary nacelle

it has animation

kewl to look at

[hoary nacelle]

ooh that looks nice

its a little slow... but it looks nice

[shadow jay]

its like robotic thingy

[hoary nacelle]

during my best buy training for certified microsoft advisor they literally begged me to try the new edge

which is hilarious considering i already use it but they assume i dont

the video made by microsoft was like "just please try it its so similar to chrome since its based on chromium please try it"

[thorn lagoon]

Heh

They know their browser sucks and they want people to use it but they don’t fix it

[hoary nacelle]

it has been fixed

i have 0 problems with the new edge

in fact i prefer it over chrome

[shadow jay]

nothing really fancy in edge xD first of all they used to have its own engine xD they drop it and face the defeat chronium based is faster

in any benchmark

they dont want to reinvent the wheel anymore

i guess

[hoary nacelle]

yeah

[thorn lagoon]

Can you still not put windows back together?

I know back when I tried it you could take tabs apart from a window but not put them together

[hoary nacelle]

i mean the new edge works better on a touchscreen + lower ram usage + comes pre installed

[thorn lagoon]

Can you still not do that?

[hoary nacelle]

huh

it works just like chrome now

[thorn lagoon]

So you can put it back?

[hoary nacelle]

yes

[thorn lagoon]

Alright I’ll consider it then

[hoary nacelle]

as the best buy trainings said... just try it

lol

• you can import everything from chrome pretty easily

[thorn lagoon]

I use Iridium

[hoary nacelle]

• extensions from chrome all work too

oh

[thorn lagoon]

Nothing really to import

I use Ublock, have a few tabs saved, and that’s it

[hoary nacelle]

if i have recommended apps and all that stuff turned off, that section in the start menu should go away

it takes up unnecessary space

either that or it could be used for more apps...

kekw

[crisp spire]

LMAO

[hoary nacelle]

just realized ive been fangirling over ui changes for 3 hours of my life

worth it tbh 😌

[shadow jay]

windows 10 .. win 7 edition

glass

xD

[crisp spire]

Same

ive also been writing a test in that time

not a good combo

[shadow jay]

i found one bug @hoary nacelle xD

use snipping tool xD and select capture window

haha

it cant capture round edges

xD

[cinder mauve]

so, my game keeps crashing all the time now

[spice beacon]

Specs?

[cinder mauve]

it randomly crashed in playing it, and this amd end user agreement thing popped up and i thought it was strange so i closed the tab instead of accepting or rejecting. now whenever i open the game i can do anything but press cxontinue game (as it crashes then and only then)

its on the game called "control", i searched it up its not a common isuuse

specs are ryzen 3 2200g, rx 580 8gb, lpx 16 gb (2x8) 3200mhz cl16

game ran amazing till that thing happened last night

[tidal lintel]

Triforcedude2027#3226 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[spice beacon]

Hmm, do you have amd chipset drivers and amd graphics drivers updated?

[cinder mauve]

yes

[spice beacon]

Try repairing the game in your game launcher

[cinder mauve]

done that

[shadow jay]

do you upgrade to win11?

then that happen or still on win 10

[cinder mauve]

still win 10

i ended up solving it, but thanks anyways

[cinder mauve]

This is fun

[icy oak]

So, good chance Win 11 is not going to be a disaster at launch?

[crisp spire]

yep

[wanton rune]

Yea pretty stable rn despite being a beta

Much better than early W10 beta/devs

Ugh those days haunt me

[shadow jay]

https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11

use this to know why you cant install win 11

[shadow jay]

heres my result xD

[vestal ibex]

That seems like something that would have been trivial for Microsoft to program but instead they stuck to generic "Sorry you can't run this lol" error messages

[runic geyser]

yeah but then microsoft would have done something helpful

[spice beacon]

Many thanks tomie, microsofts tool is garbo

[runic geyser]

they have a strict policy against that

[shadow jay]

yeah many others bash windows for not doing it like this

like we always need to rely on 3rd party

to understand them

xD

[vestal ibex]

It would be so easy for them to reprogram a couple if-then statements so they have unique errors, but nooooo

[runic geyser]

windows tries to baby users

cause it's the most mainstream os and most people dont have any computer literacy

[vestal ibex]

They also want you to buy a new computer because $$$

[orchid mason]

I have no clue if i should upgrade to windows 11 or not

Can someone point me in the right direction?

[vestal ibex]

So if they just say "nope this computer can't run it" less knowledgeable users will say "oh time for a new PC then"

[vestal ibex]

It's still a developer preview, not even a full release yet. Give it about 6 months to a year for all the things they've promised to be implemented and bugs worked out.

[orchid mason]

Alright

Will do

[vestal ibex]

The hardware requirements will probably change by then too

[shadow jay]

i found another anoying thing in win11 xD right click doesnt support custom yet

example if you install 7 zip

u cant see 7 zip on the right click

u need to go to show more option

[runic geyser]

oh thats so cringe fr

[vestal ibex]

No shell extensions? Eww

[runic geyser]

passign away

[shadow jay]

show more option

the old context

and it has the 7zip

[vestal ibex]

Still very cringe

[wanton rune]

I got so annoyed by that btw

[vestal ibex]

Post that in r/softwaregore or something, free reddit points lol

[runic geyser]

sad ill never be able to upgrade

[hardy sigil]

I feel like it’s a meme

[vestal ibex]

Oh is that not your computer? Where did you find that then?

[hardy sigil]

A roblox discord server

[vestal ibex]

Oh well yeah probably just a meme then

[runic geyser]

lol put an epilepsy warning on that

[spice beacon]

Yeah pls bruh my eyes while that was in peripheral vision even

[dense mirage]

why not?

[runic geyser]

my windows 10 iso is so heavily modded that i'd need to reinstall and i dont really feel like doing that

so ill probs be on 10 till 2025

[shadow jay]

same that makes me press reset this pc after i update xD now everything works fine.

[cinder mauve]

Lul

[shadow jay]

@hoary nacelle windows + x now to get into task manager xD

[hoary nacelle]

?

is this menu gone in the latest build? i saw i had an update yesterday but i didnt do it

[crisp spire]

nop

[shadow jay]

nope still there wait haha u can right click the start menu to show that xD i still want my right click show task manager

xD

anywhere on the taskbar

not just start

[hoary nacelle]

ah

and yea right click always did that even back to like 7 (not sure if previous windows did or not, but probably)

i always used win+x though

[shadow jay]

@hoary nacelle have u tried to enable windows sandbox in win 11

[hoary nacelle]

not yet

[shadow jay]

where u can run randsomware hahah

and doesnt affect ur pc

pretty neat

its like vm clone of your pc xD kinda

[crisp spire]

where enable?

[shadow jay]

sandbox is on win10 also but this is the first time i will use sandbox xD

yeah that

also enable hyper v

[hoary nacelle]

^

[crisp spire]

Doing it rn

thanks

[runic geyser]

sandbox is cool

i forgot if anyone's broken it yet

[shadow jay]

i cant run it because of this xD they said its because of anti virus thingy i dont know.. i already disable defender exploit protections etc

others says internet hmm i dont know how to set dns in win 11 yet xD

network and settings is diff

nvm found it

[vast summit]

Anybody got an idea as to why my ram isn't being recognized in armoury crate's aura sync? It's just stuck on a red breathing pattern. Even if I manually turn off all leds and aura devices in the bios they still light up by themselves. Thanks

[wraith sage]

Tried restoring it and now it's infinitely running into errors and restarting again

After I turned on safe mode

[runic geyser]

almost like running dev channel of an os is a not good idea

[wraith sage]

What happened?

Dev channel?

[runic geyser]

are you running 11?

[wraith sage]

No

10

And this randomly happened

It looks like it corrupted or smthn, but its write protected for whatever reasom

So i can't use diagnostics or whatever it's called to reset it, and I can't boot obviously

And when I tried using a USB with win10 to boot that didn't work

Nothing works. So I either have to have someone else with a pc rwset it (no one in my family has one, they have laptops) or buy a new asd

Ssd*

[runic geyser]

you can back up all data if you get a fun boot drive

sounds like a reinstall might be a good optio

n

or you can try something like boot repair disk

@wraith sage burn this on a usb

https://files.dog/OS_Images/Boot Repair Disk/

and follow steps

i've had good luck getting this to work for a lot of busted windows installs

[shadow jay]

@hoary nacelle wanna see something cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft_F06_jzNQ

you can now run apps in wsl that has gui xD in windows

[wraith sage]

so uhh

what does this mean

am i downloading too many things at once? (i had to format 2tb worth of stuff so im starting downloads to leave on over night, i know theyll be slower)

[last gorge]

Maybe try running as administrator, i hope this is not sus virus xD

[wraith sage]

nah

its a client for minecraft, like badlion or lunar client

ill try it, thank you

that worked, thanks

[shadow jay]

it literally says it request elavation

aka run as admin

[wraith sage]

didnt know that

idk too much about software

[shadow jay]

yeah software is kinda confusing

[cyan pulsar]

wait whats Windows Sandbox?

[runic geyser]

it's like an isolated environment that you can run sus stuff in

[cyan pulsar]

Oh cool

[shadow jay]

i wonder if it can bypass vm detection of themidia or vmprotect

[runic geyser]

probs not

since it just makes a hyper v vm

that's why you need hyper v enabled

[cyan pulsar]

how come do i not see it in this menu?

i just figured out how to open it but dont see sandbox

[shadow jay]

it boot super fast like instant and destoy its file when u close it XD enough to trace api calls of the app

to check what files it drops etc

registry it changes

[shadow jay]

search

sandbox

[cyan pulsar]

Thats all that comes up for me

[shadow jay]

enable this features also

Windows Sandbox
Virtual Machine Platform
Hyper-V

at

[cyan pulsar]

Alright

Would HyperV be hypervisor platform?

And after checking off those 2 i dont see sandbox

[runic geyser]

yeah it's cool how they do it

but still it's just hyperv vm

just super quick deploy

[cyan pulsar]

i guess i enabled the right thing XD i just tried running Bluestacks and it told me to disable HyperV

[runic geyser]

kek

bluestacks sweatin hard rn i bet

with native android support

in 11

[cyan pulsar]

yeah

how does that work anyways?

can you just download an APK and it works?

[runic geyser]

depends on how they implement it

no one knows

[cyan pulsar]

alright

[shadow jay]

sideloading is posible

so yes

we can even use it on vscode soon

for debugging flutter

[cyan pulsar]

oh cool

also i still dont see sandbox in that menu...

i restarted after enabling virtual machine platform and Hyper-V and still nothing

oh wait do i need the Pro version of Windows? i only have Home

[cyan pulsar]

and now im confused as to why its $100 to upgrade to pro from home edition if to buy a pro key its literally only $20 more than the home...

[runic geyser]

kek

[shadow jay]

you have home?

sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh

xD

[cyan pulsar]

Yeah

[shadow jay]

https://www.gamers-outlet.net/buy-windows-10-professional-retail-microsoft-global-cd-key.html

i ask my friend where he bought keys he sent me this xD google reviews is nice 4.7

3.00€ not bad

[cyan pulsar]

Cool

Any idea what it means that if you reinstall it you can no longer use the key?

[worthy thicket]

Hey, I previously mentioned a scenario in which my PC kept shutting down randomly, but I may have figured out why it is not anymore: I was running two different operating systems on two different SSD.

The problem disappeared when I removed the SSD containing the secondary OS, which was likely an Ubuntu flavor. I formatted that one for something else, though.

[runic geyser]

it's probs a stolen VL key and iirc those dont stick around after install

you get one activation and that's it

[cyan pulsar]

Alright

[cyan pulsar]

Guess i wont do that then im planning on upgrading my SSD sometime soon

[runic geyser]

i mean its like $4

lol

[shadow jay]

save urself a headache xD

its super cheap to get pro keys xd

and bind that to your microsoft account

unli reinstall

[hoary nacelle]

i love microsoft edge

i mean chrome pioneered the feature

but edge does it better (and correct me if im wrong) but edge has a feature where you can install any site as an "app"

which is ironic for discord because its smoother on the website (scrolling) on a touchscreen on the website than it is on the official desktop app

furthermore, discord's desktop app button for maximizing, minimizing, and closing are really small and hard to press on a touchscreen

[shadow jay]

u can do that in chrome too

[hoary nacelle]

my solution:

[hoary nacelle]

is it any site?

[shadow jay]

give example of site

[hoary nacelle]

https://discord.com/login

you have to cancel it loading before it loads since it will auto log you in

on edge i can do this for any site

[shadow jay]

yes

its called create shortcut and tick open as windows

u can even pin it on task bar xD

it doesnt need to be chrome to be open

it literally act as app

[hoary nacelle]

edge is the same way

[shadow jay]

yeah because they use same stuff

xD

u can even sync your chrome plugins in edge

[hoary nacelle]

those are all edge "apps" ^

[shadow jay]

yeah its pretty neat

[hoary nacelle]

yea i knew chromium pioneered all that functionality i just didnt know of it as much on chrome because edge promotes the use of it more imo

for example, things like twitter and instagram show up in the microsoft store despite them just being fake edge apps

[shadow jay]

edge is nice but they lock the user sync to microsoft

so i leave

i use gmail

[hoary nacelle]

?

i use gmail too

[shadow jay]

can you login that in here

[hoary nacelle]

oh i guess not

i guess i assumed you had a microsoft account because of windows

[shadow jay]

yeah but i use gmail alot xD like a lot

[hoary nacelle]

"take picture of whiteboard"

it tried... lol

[wraith timber]

"did I get it? Did I get it?"

[runic geyser]

used win10 since insider and have never had a ms account

[rancid plume]

does anyone know where I can buy a windows key with USD for cheap

[floral wedge]

[floral wedge]

huh, with windows 11 i am getting higher and more stable FPS without my overclock

[spice beacon]

Nice

I mean the old win 11 leak was just win 10 with makeover but win 11 actually has a few changes

[floral wedge]

Yeah this is the insider build

[spice beacon]

Ik ye

[floral wedge]

I am definitely seing differences in performance, idle usage, spiking

[spice beacon]

Like the dev preview actually has more than makeover changes

Nice

[floral wedge]

It really likes to spike in usage, fps, power

It's odd but it runs well so far

[spice beacon]

Well it is the first dev build lol

[hoary nacelle]

i wish all icons could be circles

[tired orchid]

Dev has to choose to make them circles.

Also, why did you install the official Reddit app?

And iTunes?

[crisp spire]

whats wrong with itunes

[tired orchid]

Everything

It's made by Apple.

The only reason to use iTunes is to sync music to an iPod.

Otherwise, use MusicBee for your music

[crisp spire]

What if I wanna back up my iphone lmao

[tired orchid]

Then use the iCloud Backup feature baked into iOS

Duh

[crisp spire]

what if I dont wanna pay for more storage

[tired orchid]

Tough nouggies

[crisp spire]

since 5gb isnt enough

[crisp spire]

nop u use itunes like a normal person

[tired orchid]

iTunes is a scourge and needs to die.

[crisp spire]

not all apple products are bad

[tired orchid]

The only good Apple product is the iPod

[crisp spire]

and the iphone

[tired orchid]

No

iPhones are terrible.

[crisp spire]

lol

no

Ok so wait u like ipods yeah?

[tired orchid]

No user customization, the user gets babied and if you try to do anything outside of the Apple Ecosystem, or Apple Approved Products you are f'd with a Bad Dragon.

[crisp spire]

and iphones are basically ipod touches with an added sim card and calling feature

[tired orchid]

No

[crisp spire]

which makes iphones better than ipods

[tired orchid]

I'm talking about iPod Classic/Mini/Nano

Not handicapped iPhones

[crisp spire]

lol

any more jokes

?

[tired orchid]

iOS is a joke

It treats the user like a 2 year old child.

[crisp spire]

my iphone doesnt baby me and I prefer my windows to mac

[crisp spire]

if you are a 2 year old child, it will treat you like a 2 year old child lol

mine doesnt

strange that yours does no?

[tired orchid]

It does, you are just used to it.

And I don't have an iPhone.

I have a Pixel 2 XL

[crisp spire]

So ur making claims based on 0 experience

[tired orchid]

And sooner or later it will likely be replaced with a Sony Xperia 1 III

Not true.

[crisp spire]

lol tell me one way it is

[tired orchid]

Using other Cloud Storage Services for Backups? Lolnope

Sideloading apps? Lolnope

Using other OS skins? Lolnope

[crisp spire]

I can do all 3

[tired orchid]

Anyways. This is out of the scope of #windows-ios

[crisp spire]

next?

[tired orchid]

No you can't

[crisp spire]

Ohhh yes I can

just because it falls out of the scope of your abilities doesnt mean i cant

@tired orchid any other argument?

[tired orchid]

It literally is impossible to sideload apps on Apple

If you are doing it, then either A. You are a jailbreak master that hasn't posted your findings or B. You have installed Android on your iOS device.

[crisp spire]

Altstore

iosgods website

Theres more ways

No jailbreak required

Lmao

I am on a jailbreak, but you dont need to be a master to be able to change the os skin

Just install snowboard and whatever skin you want

Its that easy

Lmao

Anything more @tired orchid?

[tired orchid]

I'm pretty sure you are literally talking nonsense right now. Because iOS has NEVER been that customizable without a Jailbreak.

[shadow jay]

but other i cons are weird when it turns circle like minecraft xD

[hoary nacelle]

im aware

[hoary nacelle]

its an edge installed app

[shadow jay]

yeah it looks weird

[hoary nacelle]

phone backup, iphone music syncing

[tired orchid]

There's alternative music sync options nowadays

[hoary nacelle]

well its a good thing i mainly use spotify anyways

[shadow jay]

xD yeah i use spot

most of the time

[runic geyser]

i have one of those

and also its not hard to sideload

even no jailbreak

just put idevice into dev mode kek

[dense mirage]

Late to the party, but you can totally run android on apple devices

I'm not aware of any persistent installs yet, but it's doable

You can also just put an x86 emulator on it and install Linux

[tired orchid]

There is a persistent install, but it's limited to a few devices and it is super limited in functionality

[dense mirage]

In any case, it's stupidly easy to put your own apps on an apple device, you just have to know what you're doing

Having a Mac makes it a lot easier, but it isn't strictly necessary

[runic geyser]

^^^^^^

[floral wedge]

Same

[wraith timber]

Yeah

All square icons should be circles

If you have a square you need an icon for it should be a circular icon

[dense mirage]

You guys have icons?

[wraith timber]

Ah are you a condensed UI type person

[dense mirage]

I'm a keyboard type of person

[shadow jay]

im a human

in the outside

bare metal in the inside

[crisp spire]

@tired orchid loll do you even read?

[crisp spire]

yep I had done that a while back... dont even need to jailbreak for it

[dense mirage]

It's skip, do you have to ask?

[crisp spire]

fair...

he should stick to #peripherals-and-displays imo

[dense mirage]

Eeehhhhhhh

[hoary nacelle]

anyone here have an android phone and use the my phone app on windows? if so, how does it work?

the ability to send texts and get notifications is very enticing

makes me want to get an android even more

im trying my best to bridge all my devices, accounts, update information, etc. (considering i made a lot of my accounts when i was like 8 a lot of it is very unorganized and gross)

[hoary nacelle]

^ furthermore the android app integration in windows 11

[spice beacon]

Tried it once it's a big fat meh, and the my phone app has to run in the background like open in the recent apps things to even get the notifs etc

[tired orchid]

It doesn't.

You are better off installing the Google Messages app (The one that comes with Pixel phones) and using it's web browser "app" if you want to text from your desktop.

[last gorge]

I wish windows had phone integration as good as macos

[wraith timber]

Just plug your phone in

Then put the phone inside the case

Bam

Integrated 😎

[crisp spire]

https://tenor.com/view/jeremy-clarkson-sometimes-my-genius-almost-frightening-driving-car-ride-gif-16463163

[dense mirage]

kde connect ftw lol

[spice beacon]

Yes the google messages app is so much better yeah, because you can use it with split screen unlike most default messaging apps it doesn't support it which is annoying

[spice beacon]

Just get windows phone kek

[tired orchid]

Yeah, I've debated on using KDE instead of XFCE for my Arch install

[dense mirage]

Imagine using a floating window manager on arch.

...or using arch in general for that matter

[alpine hare]

I have logged into administrator i want to log out how to do that

[tired orchid]

Arch is good.

[dense mirage]

Meh

I don't really see the point beyond maybe learning a little bit

But even then, you can just copy paste from the wiki

[tired orchid]

I do a bit of wiki copy and paste. I do a bit of conversation with Arch users.

[hoary nacelle]

learning is what drew me to arch, only having a command line forces me to learn things like package managers, cli text editors, ton of other stuff i cant think off the top of my head, but for example on something like ubuntu i can just do all that from gui applications, never effectively "learning" command line

and obviously navigating file systems, partitioning hard drives, connecting to wifi, etc.

[tired orchid]

Yeah, I'm on the "Connecting to Wifi" situation

I've got XFCE running though.

[dense mirage]

Did you install your drivers?

[runic geyser]

just use debian and dont install a DE

[dense mirage]

^

Or Fedora

[runic geyser]

deb cutest but fedora alrite too

[tired orchid]

It's an Intel Wi-Fi card. I just need something that talks with XFCE

I was able to use wpa_supplicant, I just need something to talk with wpa_supplicant in a graphical environment.

[dense mirage]

Just use nmtui

[wraith sage]

any of yall update to the preview of win10, 21H1?

since i did my warzone randomly crashes

cant finish a single game without it crashes

not graphics, can handle max graphics with a 3060 ti

[crisp spire]

play in fullscreen windowed not exclusive fullscreen

[wraith sage]

alr thanks

i been playing in fullscreen borderless

[crisp spire]

o then IDK

[wraith sage]

think i figured it out, a couple days ago my windows was having issues and my freind had me turn on windows insider

thought i turned it off but aparently not

[cyan pulsar]

so any idea if Windows 11 changed anything in specific to break parsec? i updated my laptop finally and decided to try connecting to my desktop that is also on Windows 11 and i was using parsec just fine like 30 minutes before i decided to upgrade and now i can connect to my desktop but then it takes like 5 minutes to load my display then the latency is so bad nothing works at all and the way i know its the latency is i tried using VNC viewer on my phone and my mouse pointer was functioning just fine while on parsec i was just looking at a still screen

[spice beacon]

It's probs just the fact your running a dev preview of an os which is never really recommended to daily as there tends to be buggs

[crisp spire]

I daily it no real issues tbf

[spice beacon]

Well yeah but some people are bound to run into issues

[crisp spire]

true

[cyan pulsar]

thats the only issue ive seen

and my desktop was on 11 the whole time i only just now updated my laptop and that was when i noticed the issues

[tender aurora]

Mega noob question about Windows 10/11 activation:

Let's say I run a Windows 10 PC with a Windows 10 digital/retail license tied to Microsoft Account A, which is the primary account on the computer. I upgrade it to the Windows 11 Insider Preview and then, for certain reasons, make Microsoft Account B to replace Microsoft Account A.

Can I transfer the license to Account B by making it the primary account and linking it to my now Windows 11 PC on Microsoft's website?

[crisp spire]

No

[rocky tiger]

I want to make Windows 10 private through stuff like O&O, commands, and whatever else I find in r/privacy. So far I debloated most of the pre-installed stuff, but there’s still stuff to remove, and settings left to tweak.

Linux is attractive to me because I heard it performs well on low-end machines, but the issues with that (compatibility, mainly) mean that I might have to use stuff like VMs and Wine (if steam games are incompatible), which I fear might perform worse than just using Win10 to run stuff

Do I continue hardening Windows 10 or just migrate to linux?

[crisp spire]

ur choice tbh

[rocky tiger]

Well, yeah, but I want some input about which would be best for me

[crisp spire]

Security? Linux

Everything else? Windows

[rocky tiger]

What about privacy?

Hardened windows or linux?

@crisp spire

[crisp spire]

Depends on why privacy is so important to you…

Google tracks you as much if not more than wmicrosoft

[wraith sage]

any idea what any of these would do?

whenever i play valorant or warzone my game will randomly crash so ive been tryna fix that

also sometimes instead of crashing my pc will blue screen and restart

a while ago i had to delete everything off my pc and reinstlal windows since it corrupted and since then this has been happening

[wraith sage]

Nvm I think I found the issue

Believe it's anti cheat for whatever reason

Maybe need to allow it through windows firewall

[static flume]

anyone around?

@rocky cedar maybe?

[dense mirage]

@static flume Wassup

[static flume]

How do I go about getting a windows key? When we built my PC in #building-and-recc-chat someone brought up that I can get a key for cheap and now that I'm sitting in from of my build after hooking everything up its time for a key and a walkthrough on how to do this without an optical drive

[rocky cedar]

Don't even need key to start

make an installation media with a usb drive

[static flume]

really?

So I just download the tool to the flashdrive and then plug the flash drive into the new pc and boot off the drive?

[runic geyser]

your cpu has a backdoor and most programs will track you independently of your OS

honstly best to just stop caring

run sharpapp and then forget abt it

[dense mirage]

Linux, but realistically your os is the least of your problems

[runic geyser]

need to use amd fx with custom bios

and compile all programs yourself

[dense mirage]

Why use x86, it's closed source

Use RISC-V on an fpga that you flash yourself

[runic geyser]

simply open the source

fr tho privacy big stupid

not much you can really do without massive inconvenience

[dense mirage]

Yup, as with security some basic DDDS is your best bet

[sly elk]

can anyone help me with my internet issues? Like i need a very wrinkled brain to help me. Ive asked a good amount of people and they have no idea whats wrong with my pc

the internet is fine for every other device, just not my pc

id be willing to share my screen to make things go faster

[runic geyser]

what's wrong with it

oh ur the same person in general kek

[tired orchid]

Have you tried an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew in cmd?

Like, 90% of the time that fixes internet issues on my Windows PC's

[runic geyser]

i told them to do that i think

and no

they have weird programs doin stuff to their network tho

[sly elk]

yeah, that didnt work sadly

[tired orchid]

Remove all weird ass software related to networking.

[sly elk]

ill try and find stuff like that

i have no idea what to look for unless it has network in the name tho

[sly elk]

couldnt find anything that stood out

[tired orchid]

F-it. Just wipe Windows and start over.

That's what I do when some stupid issue that I can't figure out appears.

[sly elk]

should i enable ipv6

lili said that they disable theirs

@tired orchid

[tired orchid]

It probably won't fix anything. And Lili has a specific setup

Just wipe windows and start fresh.

[sly elk]

the problem with that is the same thing happened to my old pc

this pc has a completely new windows installation

nothing from old pc besides pictures and videos and audio were transferred

[tired orchid]

Then your router is fucked.

Do a factory reset on your router.

[sly elk]

its only the computer getting bad speeds

getting great upload

[tidal lintel]

ACTPlays#8008 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sly elk]

but bad download

[tired orchid]

Probably a forked Router configuration. Just factory reset it

[dense mirage]

If all the other systems get good downloads that's probably not router

@sly elk are you connected over 2.4GHz, 5GHz, or wired?

[sly elk]

5ghz

also ethernet doesnt help

[dense mirage]

How far from the router is it?

[sly elk]

was factory reset recently

there is only 1 room between it and my pc

thin walls as well

[dense mirage]

Okay

[sly elk]

my phone right next to it gets 400+

pc gets under 60

[dense mirage]

Can you connect it to 2.4GHz?

[sly elk]

ive tried

doesnt help 😦

[dense mirage]

Same thing, okay

[sly elk]

yeah

the odd thing is that it happened to my old pc as well

finished this build on christmas and the wifi was fine for at least a month

[dense mirage]

Do you have any parts the same between the old and new PC?

[sly elk]

nope

brand new

[dense mirage]

Is your phone an android?

[sly elk]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xhzhp2

yes

[dense mirage]

Does is use micro USB or USB-C?

[sly elk]

C

[dense mirage]

Do you have a USB 3.0 cable for it?

[sly elk]

i think so

[dense mirage]

Okay. Do you know how to make a tethered internet connection with an android?

[sly elk]

no i do not

[dense mirage]

Okay. Plug your phone into one of your USB 3.0 ports on your motherboard (one of the blue ones). In the device connection options on your android, there should be options like "charge only" "transfer files" and "thether device" or "share internet"

Select the tether or share internet connection option. Your PC should then detect a new wired network. Connect to that network and run another speed test on your PC

[sly elk]

usb tethering

?

[dense mirage]

Yes

[sly elk]

it turns off my wifi

so am i using data?

[dense mirage]

Turns off the wifi on the phone?

[sly elk]

yes

[dense mirage]

One sec

What model is the phone?

[sly elk]

oneplus 7t

[dense mirage]

What happens if you turn wifi back on?

[sly elk]

turns off tethering

[dense mirage]

Is there an option for USB modem?

[sly elk]

usb preferences are
file transfer, usb tethering, midi, ptp, no data transfer

[dense mirage]

Okay

Looks like there isn't a quick and easy way to get it set up with that phone for some reason

No biggie

[sly elk]

sad

[dense mirage]

If you open up task manager and hit the performance tab, what's your computer's network usage while idle?

[sly elk]

going crazy

oops

send and receive keep changing

[dense mirage]

Nothing too high though

[sly elk]

under 200 kbps

mostly under 50

[dense mirage]

Okay

[sly elk]

random spikes though

[dense mirage]

Do you have it set up as a metered connection?

[sly elk]

as in like limited?

[dense mirage]

Yeah

[sly elk]

if so i have no idea

router settings should be default

[dense mirage]

Would be in windows settings

[sly elk]

says off

[dense mirage]

Okay

Is random mac or hardware address enabled in windows settings?

Under wifi settings

[sly elk]

no

[dense mirage]

Disconnect any ethernet cables, enable it, and then reboot. Don't reconnect ethernet

[sly elk]

check connection now?

[dense mirage]

Yup

[sly elk]

no luck

[dense mirage]

Dang

Do you have an antivirus installed?

[sly elk]

malwarebytes

already ran it multiple times

[dense mirage]

What features do you have enabled?

[sly elk]

whatever is default

i dont have premium

doesnt startup with pc

[dense mirage]

It might be malwarebytes

[sly elk]

you think so?

is there a specific setting?

or should i get rid of it

last thing i uninstalled (hamachi) didnt help

[dense mirage]

There's a setting in malwarebytes that will scan any incoming web traffic real time, I don't remember what it's called though

When you run a speed test, does CPU, RAM, or disk usage spike at all?

[sly elk]

would it do that if it isnt even opened?

[dense mirage]

it'll run in the background if it's configured as your antivirus software

[sly elk]

no spikes

just in internet

[dense mirage]

Okay

What does it say internet goes to?

[sly elk]

send jumps to 250 max, recieve(on upload) goes to 450 max

my upload speed is fine

just download thats bad

[dense mirage]

Okay. Do those speeds match what the speed test says?

[sly elk]

no

i dont think so

[dense mirage]

What does the speed test say?

[sly elk]

33 download, 20 upload

[dense mirage]

What are the units?

[sly elk]

mbps

[dense mirage]

MBps or Mbps?

[sly elk]

using speedtest.net desktop application

Mbps

[dense mirage]

Is windows also reporting in Mbps?

[sly elk]

yes

they are matching actually

they are close at least

[dense mirage]

Okay

[sly elk]

my now download is 50 upload 20

can i plug ethernet cables back in?

[dense mirage]

Yes

Go ahead and run another test once you get wifi disabled

What type of ethernet cable are you using?

[sly elk]

oh give me a minute

didnt plug pc into ethernet

since it didnt help last time

but ill check again

[dense mirage]

cat 5, cat 5e, cat 6?

[runic geyser]

@dense mirage mention me if u figure it out

[sly elk]

im gonna have to buy a new long ethernet cable

cause the other one is gone man

[dense mirage]

F

[sly elk]

yeah

you know any solutions for that so i dont have to run it down a hallway?

[dense mirage]

Pretty much going through the wall

[runic geyser]

https://github.com/ImminentFate/CompactGUI

[crisp spire]

wat dis?

[runic geyser]

CompactGUI is a standalone user interface that makes the Windows 10 compact.exe function easier to use.

[crisp spire]

No like what do u use it for

is it a thing you use instead of zipping folders

[runic geyser]

compress literally everything while having it still be usable

so like you can compress a game

and have it decompress on the fly

[crisp spire]

Oh like I can compress the entire folder?

[runic geyser]

As program folders and games can be shrunk by up to 60%, this has the added bonus of potentially reducing load times - especially on slower HDDs.

More information on the inbuilt Windows function can be found here and here or by typing compact /q into the commandline

This tool is intentionally designed to only compress folders and files. Whole drives and entire Windows installations cannot be modified from within CompactGUI - users seeking that functionality should use compact /compactOS from the commandline.

The compression is fully transparent - programs, games and files can still be accessed as normal, and show up in Explorer as they normally would — they'll just be decompressed into RAM at runtime, staying compressed on disk.```

you can just read the github page

[dense mirage]

darn it windows

[spice beacon]

Cuz windows

[balmy grove]

^

auto diagnosis sucks on windows

boot issue: exists
windows: i don't see any problem?

[maiden valve]

Yeah, but can you fix it without needing to reinstall everything?

[crisp spire]

no

[maiden valve]

Yeah, well, too bad access to the Windows boot loader is only available to Windows devs.

[crisp spire]

Wut?

You can literally mount the efi partition and restart explorer with admin nouac and edit it

or delete it

or do whatever you want with it

[runic geyser]

windows is special

[dense mirage]

Turns out I could

[runic geyser]

[dense mirage]

Upgrading to windows 11 overwrote whatever file was corrupted
