Yeah. I’m on a relatively old build with DDR4, but still a decent processor and GPU. So far gaming have not been an issue with whatever I’m throwing at it. Not much in the way of loading times, and no real problem with the size of it. Some less game-y stuff, like video transcoding and 3D renders, also fine. And while I can see those improving somewhat with DDR5, I’m not sure it’s the actual bottleneck. And gaming won’t be much better with it… I mean seriously, moving loading times from 3 seconds to 2? I don’t really care.

The real issue will be when things starts to break down, as hardware do over time. It’s not that I want to replace the hardware if there’s no pressure from the software side, but I will have to if RAM goes bad, or motherboard decide to not power up.

It’s never been done before, and can never be done after, obviously. Not a chance. Nope. It’s not like it worked before, not like windows placement is not really the business of the taskbar app, not like it works with almost every other DE/OS, too.

Absolutely impossible. Microsoft, that apparently did not make windows up until now otherwise they’d know this explanation is pure bullshit, have absolutely no way, no resources, no knowledge on how to setup the available rectangular area on the screen for window placement. Nope.

The amount of bullshit is incredible. The DE sets the windows position. The DE tells the apps what’s the “usable” desktop area. It worked for decades. And now “you can’t imagine the amount of work”

Fuck you microsoft. Not that I care anymore. Even your excuses are pathetic.

One would expect such a small sample size to lower the crash rates. But tesla is subverting expectations yet again.

At some point there’ll be enough pressure for a large enough fork of Firefox and Thunderbird to exist separately from Mozilla. Keep pushing, random clueless CEO.

These days I might do that. The thing is, I’m coming from a situation where windows was installed, fully setup and configured with whatever I needed, so it was way easier to just run that than to redo everything and setup a VM.

Also, the last piece of software I need is something used to bypass DRMs, and it kinda requires the whole thing to work flawlessly. I’ll see when I come around to launch it again if it’s viable.

That’s not a thing it can do in grub. It could do it with UEFI entries, but these days windows is not the biggest culprit of that. I had it happen on a BIOS update, where it simply nuked all stored entries, and the windows one is always checked as part of the standard.

That’s a bit extreme. I keep a windows install around, just in case. It’s just not in grub; I have to get into the bios boot menu and manually select it.

Everybody knows that this is yet another distraction, but how fragile are they ready to look like. They feel threatened by a text font and some numbers these days.

DDR5 is the latest tech, but it affects everything. Even SO-DIMM DDR4 have had a price hike.

Well, I can see some use cases. But they’re usually not pointed down in the bowl.

For an online service to get popular, it has to be either a new, really interesting thing with a lot of advertisement, have the support of some big celebrities (usually through advertisement too), or literally pay people to come en masse to artificially make it popular, so that more people comes organically (so, basically, a large advertisement budget). It also have to be easy because most people can’t read more than a few lines of explanations on why things are different.

No lemmy instance have none of the pre-requisites, and the accessibility is not really there for the general public, due to various things. My main gripe is that federation and local moderation means you’ll have to create multiple account to access content from certain groups of servers, which is a lot to ask to people that can’t be asked to make even one account, but there are other minor things too. The sheer choice of instances and client, seen as an advantage by some, is simply a bothersome annoyance to people used to large platforms doing all the work of deciding what’s good and bad for them.

Storage space, ensuring quality settings, supporting more device than “your tv”, smaller bandwidth requirements.

Yeah, I’m not watching a video with no description nor informative title, about an unknown topic, linked from a social media post that also says absolutely nothing about whatever is in there.

Three level clickbait/dark pattern engagement tactics are so 2020.

Don’t invite them? If you know what’s going to happen, and you don’t like it, avoid it.

I’ll never put foot on that hellhole again, but it would be funny if this was something he posted on twitter and grok showed up to “correct” him.

Plot twist: they can, and will, do it even if you opt out. The only thing that change is that you won’t get anything out of it. Not that it would have been a significant return to begin with.

I was being generous. For some reasons, when I try voice recognition it triggers as if I’m speaking Japanese. And when I actually try to speak Japanese, I get english gibberish.

Hey, when I have Iron man Jarvis-like chatting me up, running locally, and never ever messing anything up, I’ll be impressed.

So far I have semi-competent voice transcription, borked understanding, incorrect action 4/5 of the time, underwhelming, if not broken output, and most of the time this bad version is dependent on a datacenter that’s aiming at obliterating a star worth of power every two hours.

I WONDER why this is not seen as impressive.

Better than seeing weird letters and 80 style colored geometric shape sliding around.
