the dll hell is still there, it's just abstracted behind winsxs, bloating the os to new extremes, making every version of every dll released ever available

Warning: this is an off-topic Mac desktop post.

Also, Steve Jobs decided that if you select your monitor as the audio output source (mine has a convenient audio plug)

is it connected via something like hdmi or displayport? i think the system assumes the source is a tv monitor at that point and punts it to the local controls. good for conference rooms and bad for desks

that sounds like me. i fondly look back on the days of breaking the dialup configuration on the family computer and being unable to use bitchx

my first distro was also slackware and i remember having to find my nic drivers on windows, using a floppy diskette to transfer them, then figuring out how to compile and use them :allears:

that was the same summer i learned about networking with a very cheap hub, as well as multibooting so i could try other distros. it was also an impressively warm summer so my computer had a box fan cooling it for the majority of my time as i sat patiently

steam on os x has been fairly non-functional for a while as well, for similar reasons. steam could do a lot better at supporting linux and os x, but all the games run windows so mostly it just works best on windows. although it actually works fairly well on arch too and you can use either the runtime or native

i think their beta client is the 64 one but it drops things like in home streaming. it seemed to run a lot better so maybe theyve decided to do more than push gifs in ads and hat sales

like what the heck, just pay 99 cents for the film and stop leaking your banking info to various latent worms overlooked by your likely pirated av. pretty sure his wifes card would get popped at least once a year

... which allegedly doesn’t actually use them lol


rtx everything is a tech demo sure. rtx reflections and lighting looked pretty good in control I guess? it’s not going to catch on unless amd get their equivalent working in next gen consoles and it turns out to be compatible somehow tho, and yeah that’s not happening

yeah, control does look spiffy with it but even decent setups have fps issues so its not always a great experience. the game looks great without the rtx though and toggling it for comparison (1070ti) didnt make it feel like i was visually missing anything

it definitely improves things tho so it will be cool in a few card generations when its viable.

if its around in a few years itll be to the point that its going to be a real boon to realistic rendering

from the article and what id seen of the pinebook pro earlier theres a lot of quality issues emerging now that weren't there initially

those issues weren't issues in the even cheaper $100 model that they've been making ir the initial run so it sounds a lot like the supplier cutting corners in assembly
