DaemonFC[m]"Of course, if churches do open up, the coronavirus might spread there, possibly making many churchgoers sick. Then Trump will have to find something else to rev them up. Possibly a national day to pray for people who got sick when they went to church to pray away the virus."May 26 17:10

DaemonFC[m]Yeah, it's funny how the virus just keeps spreading while they pray.May 26 17:10
DaemonFC[m]Almost like it's not having any effect on the virus at all.May 26 17:10
DaemonFC[m]Of course, the answer is more prayer. Eventually the virus will go away after it's killed a few hundred thousand Americans and then God kicks in. The people who died just didn't believe in him enough. The people who lived were spared and it's an excuse to be an even bigger douche than they were before.May 26 17:11

DaemonFC[m]I manage to fumble things on a computer sometimes.May 26 18:55
DaemonFC[m]It does help that I tend to use software that's stable enough that it's not sabotaging me though.May 26 18:56
DaemonFC[m]One time, Windows XP corrupted itself, so I reinstalled it, and within an hour I got infected with a virus through Internet Explorer because I hadn't gotten around to installing another browser yet, and had to install Windows a second time in a single day.May 26 18:57
DaemonFC[m]I'd like to say that Microsoft has improved the quality of Windows. Things got much worse with Vista, much better again with 7, much worse again with 8, and now Windows 10 is getting broken updates almost every month.May 26 18:58
DaemonFC[m]In addition to the stuff they broke the month before.May 26 18:58
DaemonFC[m]Apparently, they broke their FLAC codec somehow over a year ago and they still haven't fixed that properly.May 26 18:59
DaemonFC[m]So can Windows 10 play FLAC? Yes! Just as long as you don't  expect it to read Vorbis Comment tags properly sometimes.May 26 18:59
psydreadwhen Windows 2000 ate my files, that was the last time I used it for anything personal May 26 18:59
psydreadand importantMay 26 19:00
DaemonFC[m]I just don't understand how Microsoft could break that. The source code for FLAC for DirectShow is under a BSD license.May 26 19:00
DaemonFC[m]They could have just taken code that already existed, that worked, and included it with Windows 10.May 26 19:00
DaemonFC[m]The DirectShow API hasn't really changed much in 20 years.May 26 19:01
DaemonFC[m]Under the hood, the Windows audio stack is much different than it was in XP, but the userspace API is not much different.May 26 19:01
DaemonFC[m]The kernel streaming API from Windows 2000 still exists, but it doesn't do what it says it does.May 26 19:02
DaemonFC[m]It redirects it through the userspace sound mixer anyway. It's there as a shim so that applications that go to use it don't crash.May 26 19:02
DaemonFC[m]The sound mixer in earlier versions of Windows had much more latency, so Microsoft said "Here's a way to just bypass it and talk directly to the drivers.".May 26 19:03
oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: No XP was not much better if you turns on update to latest update in wsus instead of just do patch tuesday.May 26 19:12
oiaohmMicrosoft and second rate updates is not new.   At Vista and above Microsoft started pushing out some patches mid cycle to everyone.May 26 19:13

psydreadoiaohm, what I did with Windows 2000 was to integrate the latest service pack into an image, do a reinstall with that and disable updates, because anything else would invariably cause problemsMay 26 19:21
