Updates an issue that might prevent you from using your fingerprint to sign in after startup or waking up your device from sleep.

DaemonFC

DaemonFC

Finally.

DaemonFC

Windows Event Viewer filled with errors and warnings.

Jun 23 00:22

DaemonFC

Nothing like their "modern" OS. I'm sure the rounded corners in Windows 11 will fix all of this.

Jun 23 00:22

DaemonFC

Rounded corners. Because nothing says Microsoft like an OS with all of the corners cut.

Jun 23 00:23

Apple has a partial apple, and Windows has partial windows

Jun 23 00:23

DaemonFC

Their release notes lately only mention bug fixes, but then when you install them, there's different bugs.

Jun 23 00:25

DaemonFC

Windows as an operating system stalled out a long time ago. They've been re-releasing pretty much the same thing forever now.

Jun 23 00:26

activelow

worse, nonsense stockpiled up to the roof each year

Jun 23 00:35

there is an argument to be made with 640K RAM were enough

Jun 23 00:36

cubexyz/fn

IBM had a mass storage system with had 4,720 cartridges storing 236 GB in 1974

Jun 23 00:42

cubexyz/fn

the honeycomb system

Jun 23 00:42

cubexyz/fn

it would be interesting to graph memory size by year

Jun 23 00:44

cubexyz/fn

up to 1984: 16K

Jun 23 00:44

cubexyz/fn

1985-1989 512K to 640K

Jun 23 00:44

cubexyz/fn

1989-1992 1 meg to 2 megs

cubexyz/fn

1993-1994 4 megs to 8 megs

cubexyz/fn

1995-1999 32 megs to 128 megs

cubexyz/fn

etc, etc

activelow

problem isn't lots of memory is avaiable, problem is modern tech cannot do without anymore

activelow

besides the relevant metrics is power consumption, resource requirements

Jun 23 00:46

cubexyz/fn

I'm amazed that 16 gig is considered the standard with 8 gig memory being the _minimum_

Jun 23 00:48

cubexyz/fn

for 2021

Jun 23 00:49

activelow

which triggers me again, german parliament passed some legislation today again to excempt BIG business from carbon tax (introduced around year ~2000 already)

Jun 23 00:49

activelow

while small business which remained competitive otherwise isn't anymore due to this "green" nonsense

Jun 23 00:49

finally you are triggered about something bad instead of something neutral or good

It appears that Microsoft added some sort of malfunctioning power management for USB-C ports that only keeps the data link open if there's I/O activity or something is charging.

Jun 23 01:41

Unfortunately, if you leave a USB OTG device plugged in now you get to hear the device disconnect noise all the time.

Jun 23 01:43

DaemonFC

Well, I unchecked something that said turn off USB devices when the screen is off.

Jun 23 01:44

DaemonFC

It hasn't done it in a few minutes.

Jun 23 01:44

DaemonFC

Which is odd because it had nothing to do with the screen.

DaemonFC

Maybe a malfunctioning port.

DaemonFC

It's under warranty.

DaemonFC

I'll create a repair ticket

*rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

Jun 23 01:46

DaemonFC

MinceR, That fixed it.

DaemonFC

Even though absolutely nothing to do with the screen being off or on.

DaemonFC

Jesus fuck I hate Windows.

MinceR

DaemonFC

I might blog about how much of my time this wasted if this ends up being the fix.

DaemonFC

I'll let it idle for a while and see if it starts doing it again.

DaemonFC

MinceR, I'm working through some normally hidden USB power management settings in Windows now.

DaemonFC

I'm convinced that it's probably just flakey in general with OTG devices.

techrights-ipfs-bot

QmTuxFtDwey5L4ibxTM85bAhdiFUVzq9RQwjk5UqDBCmxH

MinceR

the usb stack in windows has always been flaky

DaemonFC

Linux keeps adding special cases for OTG devices but with Windows you must spply one policy to everything.

MinceR

it just isn't ready for the desktop yet

DaemonFC

The driver declares that it supports said policy then Windows goes and uses it and surprise, OTG devices don't work right.

DaemonFC

mjg59_ says he uses Windows as a cheat sheet.

Jun 23 03:09

DaemonFC

But it's way too broken to be taken seriously.

Jun 23 03:09

DaemonFC

So I'm just fucking around with settings at this point.

MinceR

"how can i fuck systemd/Linux even more? let's see how they do it in windows... ahh, perfect!"

DaemonFC

Maybe those new icons in Windows 11 will help with this.

MinceR

do you think one of them will contain the FreeBSD USB stack?

*job has quit (connection closed)

DaemonFC

"I'm having this problem with Windows."

DaemonFC

And?

DaemonFC

"I would like it fixed."

DaemonFC

Ahhh, well that's just what it does now. Try not to use it that way.

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.tenforums.com | Remove 'Link State Power Management' in Power Options in Windows 10 | Tutorials

DaemonFC

" The link state of a PCIe device is converted from L0 (on) to L1 (off) when the link is not transferring data. The hardware is automatically converted to L0 again when data is available to transfer across the link."

DaemonFC

Windows 10: "USB port, go to sleep." USB port: "Okay! ZOINK!" *transfer fails* Windows 10: "Doo doo doo!"

:)) https://www.theregister.com/2021/06/23/google_engineering_protest/

DaemonFC

Would it save power if it worked? Maybe.

Jun 23 03:15

DaemonFC

Does not working give the user a good experience? Certainly not.

Jun 23 03:15

MinceR

gotta love that terminology

Jun 23 03:16

DaemonFC

Well, the US Employment Prevention Agency implemented Energy Star.

Jun 23 03:16

MinceR

the windows installation state of a PC was converted from L0 (installed) to L1 (uninstalled)

Jun 23 03:16

DaemonFC

Now they rate computers based on how much power they use assuming that the firmware and drivers actually implement power management right, and very few do.

Jun 23 03:17

activelow

problem is acpi/bios/device-firmwares and operating system interfere with each other who is the initiator/responder and what power-state transition applied when

Jun 23 03:17

activelow

best with this power-management is it rarely reduces power consumption

Jun 23 03:18

*job (~job@92hej83cu4x5n.irc) has joined #techrights

since i am using my aarch64/gnu/linux SBC here as desktop replacement i disabled ALL powermanagement, and the box remains at ~5watts total

Jun 23 03:19

No, it's not power management related.

Jun 23 03:19

At least anything in the USB settings.

R: Almost, almost.

schestowitz

L: Alright, so-

schestowitz

??: [unintelligible]

schestowitz

L: I was actually surprised that you didn’t charge them money to take Freenode off of their hands, uh, but just the same. Fuck it. Alright so, number two question, did you have to meet Christel in person? And if so, how did you get the smell out of your clothes?

schestowitz

schestowitz

some time in the future we might return to all this

Jun 23 08:11

schestowitz

if freenode doesn't crash and burn by year's end, due to its own actions

psydroid

> how much did you pay?

psydroid

€50 in 2017, I bought it mostly for testing purposes because all the new OpenPOWER hardware is so expensive

schestowitz

i see..

schestowitz

price seems right

psydroid

I thought they might eventually get an affordable POWER SBC out, but that looks increasingly unlikely and also unnecessary with all the alternatives available these days

we need more precise terms

schestowitz

another one is "snowflake" or "crybully"

schestowitz

I get the metaphor, but...

schestowitz

those terms don't help at all

schestowitz

partly because who coins or spreads those

schestowitz

the techrights channel at LC seems to have become an anti-techrights gossip/whisper network. I hardly know these names at all and they're not techrights-connected, just looking to bash the site using a channel called after it, after many hopped from one network to another.

Jun 23 16:24

schestowitz

I partly blame the idiots who took over freenode for this situation

Jun 23 16:25

schestowitz

the intention of the LC people wasn't bad

Jun 23 16:25

schestowitz

but this is what we have now...

Jun 23 16:25

MinceR

yes it was

Ariadne

you could fix that by doing a group registration with LC

MinceR

it was even before they started LC

Ariadne

ive been informed they would even accept it

*mib_hqqgsq has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)

schestowitz

the very concept that I need to ask them to accept is shows the nature of the problem

schestowitz

they put themselves in position of power over many people

XRevan86

schestowitz: Didn't ye *ask* freenode to register too?

XRevan86

probably twice

schestowitz

schestowitz

I just ran the register command

XRevan86

schestowitz: Ah, right, it's because there was a good op the second time. And the first time there was no one there.

Ariadne

schestowitz: irc channels are first come first serve

Ariadne

if you want them to overrule whoever registered it already, you have to play the game

schestowitz

it's a design weakness

XRevan86

schestowitz: Blame it on superkuh then, he de-op'd himself.

Ariadne

or, you know, just self host

schestowitz

yes, we do

XRevan86

But it's not a big deal.

schestowitz

it's not a big deal

XRevan86

Sending an email is not horror film material.

schestowitz

nannying channels is bad enough as it is

schestowitz

we don't want another network to look after

XRevan86

The mixed messages confuse me greatly.

Jun 23 16:30

Ariadne

anyway

XRevan86

There is no problem. Prove your authenticity through the process and the channel will be registered. It's that simple.

Ariadne

XRevan86

There is no "they put themselves in position of power over many people"

Ariadne

or don't

Ariadne

who cares

Ariadne

honestly that channel is hilarious

XRevan86

Ariadne: I'm not reading it, what do they do there?

Ariadne

people complaining about a damn website

XRevan86

Did the formerly banned on #techrights philosophy professor leave?

Ariadne

basically

XRevan86

I liked his view on reality through the lense of self-authority.

Jun 23 16:33

gustaf

there are basically 2 sorts of sites: those people complain about and those no-one knows about

Jun 23 16:34

gustaf

embrace the attention

Jun 23 16:34

XRevan86

It all boils down to that the only reason that channel is a de-op'd mess is because we want it that way.

Jun 23 16:36

Ariadne

[10:36:45] <Ariadne> Librarian: do you even have a library science degree

Ariadne

[10:37:10] <Ariadne> because if not, pls change your nick to Fauxbraian thanks

Ariadne

lmfao

Ariadne

who the fuck cares

XRevan86

Ariadne: Roy brought it up, so… ye know.

Ariadne

well if he cares

Ariadne

he knows what to do

XRevan86

yes

XRevan86

There are two options: 1. take control; 2. do not take control.

XRevan86

it's that simple

Jun 23 16:39

XRevan86

If it's annoying, then take control. If not, then don't.

schestowitz

I get your point

schestowitz

anyway, from what I saw (only today)

schestowitz

it's mostly OT stuff

schestowitz

the sole concern is, some people ended up there thinking it's the official channel

https://libera.chat/chanreg#how-to-register-as-a-community

schestowitz

but I suppose they would be wrong to assume so

Jun 23 16:42

Ariadne

i'm just tired

Ariadne

of all of this bickering

schestowitz

Ariadne

that person is throwing a tantrum over being +q'd on the old freenode channel

DVulgaris/fn

XRevan86: It is, takes 10x the resources that XMPP does

XRevan86

Ariadne: Oh, so ye've met the philosophy professor I see.

DVulgaris/fn

But I'm more concerned about the privacy aspects

schestowitz

ok, attack blocked

Jun 23 16:54

XRevan86

Ariadne: That is he.

Jun 23 16:54

XRevan86

Ariadne: MinceR already said to him that no one even remembers why.

Jun 23 16:54

Ariadne

i have no interest in debating his +q

XRevan86

and then CrystalMath invited him over seeing how he's an okay dude

XRevan86

Ariadne: The channel should be registrated so that he can get his +q back :)

Ariadne

too bad

XRevan86

* registered

Ariadne

i just asked for it to be nuked

XRevan86

Ariadne: What does "nuked" mean?

Ariadne

forcibly closed

immibis

it means cancel culture

XRevan86

Ariadne: Can it be re-opened again?

Ariadne

what immibis said

Ariadne

XRevan86: sure, with a group reg

Ariadne

XRevan86

Ariadne: Ah, that's fine then.

XRevan86

I don't mind that outcome

immibis

for the record i do not believe dark skin is caused by toxins that impede brain function, that is just trolling

Ariadne: thanks for confronting there

Jun 23 17:04

schestowitz

I logged in for the first time ever, yesterday, with their web client

Jun 23 17:04

schestowitz

and it seems like 1 or 2 people just turn that channel, named after us, into a cesspool

*XRevan86 doesn't think that confronting the philosophy professor was constructive.

schestowitz

and probably because some people who used to follow us in freenode are there

schestowitz

XRevan86: they call it feeding trolls

XRevan86

as his whole argument is that techrights is against free speech because he got +q

schestowitz

imho

schestowitz

troll because the intention it to derail

schestowitz

*is

XRevan86

That is not an argument that is going to get anyone's attention.

schestowitz

in other networks you're not likely to have people accidentally being in such a channel name

Jun 23 17:06

XRevan86

schestowitz: Because other networks aren't risen from the ashes of freenode?

Jun 23 17:07

XRevan86

Yea, this happens only one freenode and Libera.

Jun 23 17:07

XRevan86

s/one/on/

Jun 23 17:07

*XRevan86 de-bridged one channel from freenode finally yesterday, a troll-y person came in there and it's just easier to forget about the channel that has no op.

Jun 23 17:09

schestowitz

XRevan86: I see...

schestowitz

someone seems to complains that I silenced him, but I recall no such person/thing

schestowitz

only one person, after 6 months of grace...

schestowitz

for trying repeatedly to undermine the channel

schestowitz

and then defaming in Twitter

schestowitz

after provoking

schestowitz

maybe that's the same person

XRevan86

schestowitz: On the new freenode and on Libera ye had the exact same opportunities, but in one instance ye took it, in another – ye didn't. That's the whole difference.

schestowitz

(with a cloak)

schestowitz

XRevan86: no, would rather have zero third party networks

XRevan86

schestowitz: I mean, the exact same thing happened.

schestowitz

when many orgs, inc fsf, moved over, many people's irc clients would then connect to the wrong channel

XRevan86

But the new op on freenode got green light, but the new op on Libera didn't, so that's the reason for the different outcome.

Jun 23 17:13

XRevan86

schestowitz: Isn't that the argument for keeping the freenode side also?

Jun 23 17:13

schestowitz

"i give a shit about this channel being a wretched hive of trolling, largely instigated by you, but not just you" - Ariadne in LC

schestowitz

one troll is enough to make a mess

schestowitz

if there is a desire and time

schestowitz

XRevan86: freenode might not last

Ariadne

freenode only 'lasts' to siphon the users

schestowitz

by year's end there might be no "business case" for Lee to keep it

schestowitz

Ariadne: yes, seems so

Ariadne

anyway i am not the techrights ban department

psymin

I don't think it would be unreasonable to suggest that the folks in the channel form another one, like techrights-chat or whatever.

Ariadne

so i have no idea why he wishes to debate his ban with me

XRevan86

schestowitz: So the problem with Libera is that it's not dying therefore if the flood gates are open no one will be able to close it back down?

schestowitz

Now I see Fuchs in the #techrights channel

schestowitz

Ariadne: I don't even know who that is

XRevan86

schestowitz: Ariadne got some attention to it I see.

schestowitz

and maybe the ban was by MinceR, not me, if any such ban existed

schestowitz

psymin: yes, I know

XRevan86

Ariadne: He debates it with everyone. I remember that from the single day when the Libera was bridged here.

Ariadne

[11:13:23] <Librarian> I guess that's the catch-22 of having an IQ below 80. At that level, you can't be aware how obvious it is to others, that that's your level. You can't stop yourself from demonstrating it.

Ariadne

[11:13:33] <Librarian> So, you scream at people to drink bleach instead.

Ariadne

[11:16:16] <Ariadne> IQ is pseudoscientific nonsense made by white supremacists to advance white supremacy

Ariadne

[11:16:22] <Ariadne> just sayin'

schestowitz

please understand that the issue is, some people's IRC clients end up in that channel not by intention, as they modify the freenode entry in their irc client of choice to connect to another network

*XRevan86 doesn't know about the "by white supremacists to advance white supremacy" thing, but IQ is indeed not an objective metric of anything.

XRevan86

schestowitz: Yes, and doing so is a reasonable choice for them.

Jun 23 17:18

XRevan86

It is odd to me just how much "IQ" is used in English colloquial speech.

Jun 23 17:21

It's a cute idea that is easy to accept, but unfortunately real humans are not CRPG characters.

It's possible it's been a very slow burn from 2019, or 2015 given that mansion employee incident

Jun 23 18:16

Surely the layoffs and the lack of foundation PR during early 2020 point to something brewing rather than a sudden dramatic reversal

MinceR

they even tried to smear RMS to bury the gates connection

MinceR

gates corrupted many former news outlets

XFaCE

But even then, the sudden aspect is still rather blatant... Gates was the media darling for all of 2020, lots of puff interviews and puff pieces and media defence

schestowitz: Too bad I didn't stick around... could have talked about the Microsoft-powered provincial bus payment card/app service that was later accessed by police without a warrant

schestowitz

Toronto?

XFaCE

no just toronto, it's used in many places now in Ontario

schestowitz

buses should accept cash

XFaCE

*not

schestowitz

they still do here

XFaCE

They still do

schestowitz

use cash then

schestowitz

and ask others to do the same if poss

XFaCE

I do

schestowitz

same for rejecting "self checkout"

XFaCE

They have made it more inconvenient though

schestowitz

we're better in large numbers... and safer

schestowitz

yes, they always try to make it harder

XFaCE

you can no longer get monthly passes without the Microsoft Pass

schestowitz

then you can protest by leaving and clarifying why

psymin

in my town, busses accept no payment at all, no transaction between bus and rider at time of service.

XFaCE

schestowitz: the monthly pass isn't necessary, but only if you regulate your travel to one bus ticket a day

schestowitz

maybe inside toen

XFaCE

or so

schestowitz

it's the case in town here

schestowitz

inner buses for free

CrystalMath

psymin: here you buy tickets with cash inside the bus as you get in

schestowitz

good

XFaCE

schestowitz: I can also confirm that this Microsoft pass keeps a record of every bus entered

XFaCE

forever

schestowitz

of course

CrystalMath

it's actually hard to get passes

XFaCE

(would need to see the legaleze because I'm being hyperbolic with the forever part)

CrystalMath

you have to be in school and far away from it, or retired

XFaCE

schestowitz: but for the past few years I've stopped using the pass since I no longer need the monthly pass

Jun 23 18:53

Wished I'd stopped sooner in hindsight but we all make mistakes.

schestowitz

if they get off facebook

XFaCE

it inhibits doing anything... i.e. why bother doing this task if it seems that it will be all for not

does anyone here know what those accusations of "drink bleach" and a ban are about?

DaemonFC

I was watching the traffic court on Zoom.

schestowitz

I can't recall banning anyone

schestowitz

or using such words

DaemonFC

The judge asked what I was doing and I told him I was just observing.

Later, he said I'd been there a while and asked if I needed anything. I said no. That Sun Tzu said that you should know your opponent and then you wouldn't fear the results of the battle.

DaemonFC

Well, if that's how they say to appear, "or else".....

Disk encryption is probably a good idea if you're ever going to let someone work on your laptop.

Not just for Hunter Biden.

You have business secrets maybe. Maybe you don't want them poking around logging into your bank with saved passwords in your web browser.

schestowitz

or use removable drive

schestowitz

and then you can detach the data from the physical parts other than storage

schestowitz

but... that assumes the repair involves something not OS-base

schestowitz

*based

DaemonFC

Well, many states are passing "If you see something, say something." laws for computer techs.

schestowitz

but applied selectively

schestowitz

not to a former VP's son

DaemonFC

So if they booted it up to check on something and they see something then they must report it to the government.

Bitlocker is essentially no overhead because it relies mainly on the TPM, the SSD itself, and at the very least, modern CPUs where encryption is a breeze.
