Videos take a long-rear end time to load, and chop at the beginning because the sound needs to catch up, something it most certainly did not need to do an hour ago. Update/re-clean-install your graphics drivers yet?

Relin posted:my friend recommended i use UNC to access things since homegroups are gone, but... it says i need a password for the target machine. it has never had a password for any of the (1) users. network discovery and all that jazz is enabled Use the username and password you would use to log into it if you were trying to use it in person. Homegroups basically functioned by creating a pseudo-user with a password that was the "Homegroup password" thing you had to share around. The removal of homegroups sometimes leaves this functional so existing computers keep seeing the shares without needing passwords, but usually it reverts the sharing to be directly under any of the accounts on that computer. Manually disabling all active folder sharing and re-creating your shares with explicitly no password is usually the best solution for people, because you're not really worried about someone seeing things on your LAN.

Great loving job, Windows! High quality poo poo there, especially on a near-RTM build I've had similar problems, I've had to rebuild the OS twice from Insider builds. after the last format , i decided to just stick with standard release.

Win10 has needed the most janitoring I believe I have ever had to do on a Windows install... Not impressed at all.

ME was a work of art; never before or since have I had an OS that just gently falls apart over the course of three to four months until it is functionally unusable. I'd love to know what went so disastourously wrong with it.

I had ME. It was shite, yes, but still, didn't have to janitor it as much. Things straight up didn't work, fine. In Win10 they work and then a patch later they don't, and then you janitor it to try to make them work again. It's more frustrating, as you have hope...

I ran ME for a while when it came out and never had a problem with it, but it was fundamentally a pretty gross combination of 98 and 2K. Anyone remember the Windows CE-ME-NT joke back in the day?

mystes posted:(But you should be.) No, you shouldn't, since you were already fine with using Windows minimal security file shares. bobfather posted:Linksys, TP Link, Microtik, probably other companies have had critical firmware vulnerabilities in their routers in just the past year or two. Why would you give this advice out? Because you people were fine using homegroups which is effectively no security, or want to use the basic level Windows file sharing which is also effectively no security. Also spend 5 cents and get a better router.

Just admit you gave bad advice, jfc. Considering all the terrible bugs in even enterprise-grade routers (looking at you, Cisco) I'm not sure "better routers" even exist.

"Network breech" in that case is some friend with a compromised laptop getting on your wifi and cryptolocking all your shares with anonymous write access. Your solution does nothing for that and yes, homegroups did give an authentication boundary to stop it.

as much as it's fishmech, nothing about his post implied allowing write access on a unpassworded network share. by default they are read-only. homegroups didn't make all your poo poo writable either. In general you should not have write access on a network share, password or no. If you really have frequent need for that type of thing get a cheap small NAS drive, or just a router with a NAS function when you plug in a USB stick. If it's two machines you own, like a laptop and a desktop, then maybe -- but in that case why not just use the same username and password for both machines? And even then I'd still only have the writable share be a "landing zone", not your actual docs. Writable shares are vulnerable to being trashed just from user error like accidental deletion.

What about modify vs write. Couldn't you deny modify and allow writes? To be honest I've never see anyone use those permissions and have no idea how they might function.

Combat Pretzel posted:Group, team, the three guys in the coding closet, whatever's the correct term. Microsoft has a terrible trackrecord when it comes to using their own GUI libraries, which leads me to believe that they will always lag behind because the internal teams don't run into the problems regular developers run into. See WPF and the treatment it got. I think the only application of any size that is written in WPF is VS.

They're finally catching up with important controls like headered listviews, treeviews, data grid views and such. Hope that goes somewhere. Maybe the UWP stuff is different but Office always had it's own GUI toolkit. I hope it is because it means their own devs will run into all the crappy stuff before we have to.

Upgrading the mixed reality headsets to be able to display the real world using the built in cameras could be pretty significant in its own way - a step towards getting the Hololens experience into the home, maybe? I'll have to look into what the update actually entails. Dark theme in the explorer is nice, I'll definitely have to give that a try.
