| DaemonFC[m] | Linux 5.4 has that crappy Samsung exfat driver in it. | Dec 18 21:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm wondering if it's better or worse than the FUSE module. | Dec 18 21:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some other company provided a new exfat driver under the GPL and it's 1/3rd the size and doesn't use hex all over the place. | Dec 18 21:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Read-only for now but I doubt it'll grow by much more than 1,000 lines with write support. | Dec 18 21:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Still clocking in at less than half the size of the Samsung module. | Dec 18 21:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Samsung module was crap because it worked and they never thought anyone would see it. | Dec 18 21:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And it's what's in Android. | Dec 18 21:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's gigantic because it avoids using any GPL kernel symbols and the Linux Virtual File System and existing GPL'd FAT code. | Dec 18 21:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it duplicates a bunch of stuff that's already in Linux, poorly. | Dec 18 21:50 |
| MinceR | exfat should die in a ditch along with microsloth | Dec 18 22:04 |
| oiaohm | There is work to merge the exfat work in Linux kernel hopefully bring in better ones into kernel. | Dec 18 22:05 |
| MinceR | none of them will be free of patents held by the robber barons of redmond, though | Dec 18 22:05 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: bad new exfat is part of sdxc standard. | Dec 18 22:06 |
| MinceR | yeah, the sda should die in the same ditch | Dec 18 22:06 |
| oiaohm | That means the controller in a sdxc card does not have to support a different file system. | Dec 18 22:06 |
| MinceR | if the card can't deal with an arbitrary filesystem, it's a piece of shit card | Dec 18 22:07 |
| oiaohm | also you have cameras that take those cards demard exfat as well. | Dec 18 22:07 |
| MinceR | they don't get to demand exfat | Dec 18 22:08 |
| MinceR | what if i put a 32GB card in them? | Dec 18 22:08 |
| oiaohm | Don't function | Dec 18 22:09 |
| oiaohm | Some of them are sdxc card only. | Dec 18 22:09 |
| MinceR | that's a piece of shit camera, then | Dec 18 22:09 |
| MinceR | that's less than minimum effort | Dec 18 22:09 |
| oiaohm | No the problem is the need transfer rate. | Dec 18 22:09 |
| MinceR | transfer rate does not depend on filesystem that much | Dec 18 22:09 |
| MinceR | if anything, a sane filesystem could be faster than this microshit/sda shit | Dec 18 22:10 |
| oiaohm | It does party exfat having single fat table instead of prior fat double does save on operations. | Dec 18 22:11 |
| oiaohm | Also means exfat is more able to eat your data. | Dec 18 22:11 |
| MinceR | i'd expect nothing less of something from microsuck | Dec 18 22:12 |
| MinceR | eating data is one of the things they do | Dec 18 22:12 |
| oiaohm | exfat was in fact optimsied for speed. | Dec 18 22:12 |
| MinceR | once winblows 98 se saw 3 vfat16 partitions and destroyed the data on all 3 of them | Dec 18 22:12 |
| MinceR | yeah, microsloth speed optimizations, i know those too well | Dec 18 22:13 |
| MinceR | that's why there's a whole windowing system in the winblows nt kernel | Dec 18 22:13 |
| oiaohm | remember vfat16 had double fat tables. | Dec 18 22:13 |
| MinceR | and that's why that windowing system is so incredibly slow | Dec 18 22:13 |
| danielp3344 | oiaohm: microsoft never could write a proper fs | Dec 18 22:13 |
| MinceR | microshit never could write a proper anything | Dec 18 22:13 |
| MinceR | except maybe legal documents | Dec 18 22:13 |
| danielp3344 | True.... | Dec 18 22:13 |
| danielp3344 | but filesystems especially | Dec 18 22:14 |
| MinceR | microshit will sacrifice everything for speed and end up with something sluggish | Dec 18 22:14 |
| MinceR | it will take gkh & sievers & co some time to bring linux down to that level | Dec 18 22:14 |
| danielp3344 | and yet we still need to rescue what, %96 of the market from it? | Dec 18 22:14 |
| MinceR | yeah | Dec 18 22:15 |
| MinceR | well, many people love shit | Dec 18 22:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: The windowing system was moved out of the kernel in Vista. | Dec 18 22:15 |
| MinceR | that's also why german "premium" cars are so popular | Dec 18 22:15 |
| MinceR | and crApple | Dec 18 22:15 |
| danielp3344 | MinceR: that's not really true | Dec 18 22:15 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC[m]: you mean they added another windowing system in userspace | Dec 18 22:15 |
| MinceR | and kept the one in the kernel for "compatibility" | Dec 18 22:15 |
| danielp3344 | you don't need to look far to see people who use windows every day of theyre own choice and hate it | Dec 18 22:15 |
| oiaohm | danielp3344: microsoft can when they want to. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/cc907927(v=msdn.10) then make up all kinds of execuses not to implement it. | Dec 18 22:16 |
| danielp3344 | but somehow free software doesn't appeal or they don't know | Dec 18 22:16 |

| danielp3344 | their* | Dec 18 22:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Older applications expecting GDI will continue to work. It's just provided in userspace now instead of the kernel. | Dec 18 22:16 |
| oiaohm | I would love to see Linux kernel exfat with TexFAT on anyhardware showing that its excuse. | Dec 18 22:17 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The Disney Plus DRM seems to be going as well as their Blu Ray DRM did. | Dec 18 22:29 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-ircz.de | IRCZ makes your life worth living Post object | Dec 18 22:29 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | That is to say it doesn't work worth a damn. | Dec 18 22:29 |
| MinceR | drm is like that | Dec 18 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only thing it seems to be doing is returning error messages to people who actually subscribed. | Dec 18 22:29 |
| MinceR | pretty much the only thing it accomplishes is locking out competitors from marketing player software/devices and inconveniencing customers | Dec 18 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Disney is returning form letters saying they're "working on it". | Dec 18 22:30 |
| MinceR | lol | Dec 18 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: All people end up doing is using a bittorrent client and VLC. | Dec 18 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then they have a universal solution. | Dec 18 22:30 |
| MinceR | yeah, that always works better than drm | Dec 18 22:30 |
| MinceR | but i doubt most consumers know about that | Dec 18 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, universal except for iOS which doesn't allow either. | Dec 18 22:31 |
| MinceR | if they're trying to play something on hypeOS, that's their problem | Dec 18 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Remember that with Apple, you're only 12 streaming subscriptions away from having to pay by the episode for certain things anyway. | Dec 18 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Someone told me that Android and Linux was for "poor people". Although by avoiding the $4,000 laptop and $1,600 iPhone every few years and the $100 a month in streaming fees I'm certainly better off than I would otherwise be. | Dec 18 22:37 |
| MinceR | yeah, throwing money into a furnace just to seem rich sounds like a great idea | Dec 18 22:37 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: You're so poor you grew a brain capable of reason. I pity you. | Dec 18 22:37 |
| MinceR | especially if i'd also get to use products that are crap and also often dangerous | Dec 18 22:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: It's little things too. | Dec 18 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In the 1990s, almost nobody bought body wash. | Dec 18 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then the soap companies found out a way to sell you half as much soap for the same price by using the words "hand" on one and "body" on the other. | Dec 18 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Instead of buying a new laptop, I ended up backing out the three dozen or so (we've actually lost count) Intel hardware security fixes that were designed to get a new Windows/Mac laptop into your home and then slow it down 40% after you bought it. | Dec 18 22:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It accomplished two things for Intel. It made their chips look 40% faster because they had hideous security problems, and you paid premium prices for them. Then when the laptop was a few years old they "fix" them, right? Then your laptop which is already a few years old slows down 40% all at once and you get rid of it. | Dec 18 22:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's the vaccine to not being able to push new hardware like they used to. | Dec 18 22:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Well that's a neat trick. | Dec 18 23:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My battery dropped from 17% to 5%. How does that happen? | Dec 18 23:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Bad battery? | Dec 18 23:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Hmm, a few people had the same issue with the OEM part. | Dec 18 23:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | LOL! No Vo and dHell suggest uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI battery driver and reinstalling it and then if that doesn't work, run it down to 0 a few times and recharge and it should be calibrated at that point. | Dec 18 23:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Of course that's assuming Windows. | Dec 18 23:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm guessing it has something to do with the nature of a battery itself then? | Dec 18 23:15 |
| MinceR | lol | Dec 18 23:19 |
| danielp3344 | So I think I found a job at a shop but it's a bit of a hike. | Dec 18 23:20 |
| MinceR | if it's the battery controller being wrong about its capacity then draining to 0 and recharging should work regardless of OS | Dec 18 23:20 |

| MinceR | seems nice, though i'm not sure if it's as efficient as a prius | Dec 18 23:25 |
| MinceR | then again, if you're considering the honda beat, there's also the suzuki cappuccino and the autozam az-1 | Dec 18 23:26 |
| danielp3344 | I love the cappuccino, but they're not easy to get here | Dec 18 23:26 |
