schestowitz> If you can't critique it, you can't speak freely about it, and if you can't speak freely, then they are so far beyond their mission that they are no longer the organization they claim to be. And IMO, not worth mentioning. Of course you will anyway, and that's good. Good luck to you.Mar 02 02:17

schestowitz> How to avoid them while speaking about projects that remain relevant and important is a tricky one, but nothing is perfect. But they're a lost cause now. They are running like a 3rd-world dictatorship, a cult-- with all the same tactics. It's disgusting.Mar 02 02:17

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Windows 10 is falling apart – so it’s a great time to fall in love with a Chromebook | TechRadarMar 02 08:15
XRevan86> My trusty Dell XPS 13, for instance, has been bugging me with its awful battery life. Not only does it only last a few hours, but it doesn’t hold its charge well either. So, more often than not, if I pick up the XPS 13 to work on it, the battery is dead. Windows 10 laptops have never held their charge as well as MacBooks or Chromebooks, and I’d had enough.Mar 02 08:17

psydroidBackdoors 10 must be like the most broken (pre-installed) version of Backdoors everMar 02 20:35
psydroidFor the few minutes it was still on the hard drive of the laptop I have just finished installing Linux on, it was slow to boot and couldn't even connect to the networkMar 02 20:36
psydroidWhich makes me wonder why people accept a broken configuration on their new laptop in the first placeMar 02 20:37
MinceRbecause they're brainwashed to do soMar 02 20:39
MinceRe.g. it comes from a very rich corporation, so it's got to be greatMar 02 20:39
MinceRalso, they've paid a lot of money for it, so, to avoid admitting having made a bad decision, they must like itMar 02 20:39
*lfam has quit (Quit: Leaving)Mar 02 20:48
psydroidwhat is even more ridiculous is that these are machines from 2015/2016, so for acceptable performance people have to keep buying the latest and greatest hardwareMar 02 20:50
psydroidI don't see how this is sustainableMar 02 20:50

psydroidXRevan86, I have only SSDs in my own laptop (acquired in 2016 only after buying one in 2002), so I didn't realise how bad it was until seeing the terrible performance on these used laptops I recently gotMar 02 21:39
psydroidand what's more, successive versions of Backdoors 10 are also getting heavier/slowerMar 02 21:40
*oiaohm has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)Mar 02 21:49
XRevan86psydroid: No, I think it's pretty much the same now as it was a few years ago. Although I've only looked at performance of tweaked ones (with removable crap removed).Mar 02 21:58
DaemonFC[m]<MinceR "we will die out and then it won'"> Coronavirus seems to only be killing people over 50 in the US.Mar 02 22:02
MinceRwe have other meansMar 02 22:03
DaemonFC[m]I'm sure the politicians who didn't want to spend money on social security and medicare anyway are heartbroken. Mar 02 22:03
DaemonFC[m]If Coronavirus ultimately kills 10 million old people who were costing the government money.....Mar 02 22:04
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: Until it gets to their elderly arses.Mar 02 22:05
DaemonFC[m]MinceR It sounds gruesome, but the government saves a million bucks for each person the Coronavirus kills. They're not working anymore anyway.Mar 02 22:05
MinceRthe more humans die, the betterMar 02 22:05
*XRevan86 would rather avoid that fate for as long as it is reasonably possible.Mar 02 22:06
XRevan86A very unconventional take, yes.Mar 02 22:07

XRevan86psydroid: Another thing that Шindows 10 loves is RAM. Despite what was discussed with DaemonFC[m], the LTSC edition with as much cruft as it's even possible removable, it's not what gets preinstalled on shitty laptops with 2G (or even 4G if one wants to use a web browser) of RAM.Mar 02 22:10
XRevan86psydroid: It would technically load, but not always before the sun sets.Mar 02 22:12
psydreadyeahMar 02 22:12
XRevan86And of course they also have HDDs and not the fastest ones which just adds to the fun.Mar 02 22:13
psydread5400 rpm HDDsMar 02 22:14
XRevan86To me the best part is that both the moronic manufacturer and the moronic consumer think that one any bloody level this can work.Mar 02 22:15
XRevan86* that onMar 02 22:15
psydreadI measured something like 80 MB/s with hdparmMar 02 22:15
XRevan86But it's the kind of world we get – where even the lowest end gets the powerhungry monster as an OS instead of any GNU/Linux.Mar 02 22:17
XRevan86"I don't want some weird aboontoo, I'd rather wait for 4 minutes until my fine investment gets to the welcome screen"Mar 02 22:18
psydreadthat's why my take on it is that the x86 world belongs to Wintel (Microsoft+Intel with AMD hanging in there as a pseudo-alternative)Mar 02 22:19
XRevan86psydread: AMD got pretty strong lately.Mar 02 22:20
psydreadI know, but it only reinforces this ecosystemMar 02 22:20
XRevan86psydread: It's mostly a note on the wording.Mar 02 22:21
psydreadit's great that they offer an alternative, no doubt about thatMar 02 22:21
XRevan86It's like Putin: technically an elected official, but I dare one to try to elect him out of the office.Mar 02 22:22
psydreadbut I'm getting spooked every time I have to go into UEFI to disabled Secure Boot permanentlyMar 02 22:22
XRevan86Just not going to happen.Mar 02 22:22
XRevan86And the idiotic constitution amendments will probably get 90% of approval or somethingMar 02 22:23

psydreadOh rightMar 02 22:24
psydreadAnother thing I ran into last year was this Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology) being enabled by default and interfering with the installation processMar 02 22:27

MinceRsee also: uefi, intel boot guardMar 02 22:30
psydreadyes, that's why all of my hardware is several years oldMar 02 22:32
psydreadand why I'm keeping this ARM SBC in sync running as my desktop with pretty much everything working with upstream code considering the relatively weak hardwareMar 02 22:37
