I thought that the number of the update (1903) was supposed to represent the Year (19) and Month (03) that the update was released. Is this not the case anymore?

Nope, the release dates end up falling behind. It's funny that MS did learn this lesson already at one point and stopped naming consumer-facing major Windows versions after the year of their release, but history repeats itself.

After the release, then recall, then re-release of 1809 and the big mea culpa that followed, they're letting this one sit in the release preview ring for a month first. So completed in march, release preview in april, public in may.

Combat Pretzel posted:With 1903 they've changed the handling of Zen CPUs. My Threadripper used to drop to 2.16GHz (or whatever it is exactly) doing simple poo poo like watching a Youtube video and nothing else, now it doesn't really go below 3GHz. I've seen that happen when the power profile got changed (even if you didn't) try resetting the balanced power profile or seeing if the cpu power settings in bios are enabled

Combat Pretzel posted:And now Atmos is completely broken. Again. I don't know if you can get to the Performance Power Slider (this thing), but on my laptop I'd bumped that to Best Performance, and later I noticed the CPU was never downclocking. I set it to Better Performance and now it actually calms down when it can and it's cool and quiet Reason I mention it is you have to be on a Balanced power plan (or something that inherits from it) to get that slider, and from that link: quote:After the user changes to a Balanced performance plan, there is no way for them to go back to using the High Performance plan from the UI, although it is possible from the cmd line (via powercfg). which sorta makes me think MS is pushing people away from that High Performance plan and looking to ditch it in the future. So I'm wondering if you've been moved onto a Balanced plan with Best Performance enabled, and everything's cranked as a result I don't actually know what that slider changes (I was messing with my power plan to try and get it to downclock, only that slider had any effect) or how you can get to it if you're not on a laptop since I click the battery, but then there are separate settings for battery power and AC, so it should be available for desktops?? Just throwing it out there if you wanna investigate

Yeah, I get that slider because I have an UPS connected. It's been on balanced since I can remember. I moved it around, seems to do the same as changing the power plan.baka kaba posted:So I'm wondering if you've been moved onto a Balanced plan with Best Performance enabled, and everything's cranked as a result

Well I dunno about any of that, alls I know is my CPU was permanently at turbo speeds with the voltage pinging around the max, even when my laptop wasn't doing anything, and it never used to be like that. But I had moved that slider up to Best Performance in the past (when I found out it existed) and when I put it back on the middle Better setting, suddenly the CPU was downclocking again, the voltage dropping etc. So it seems like Best keeps it cranked so it's as responsive as possible, Better allows it to downclock If it's the same for you you should be able to see the difference just by changing the slider and watching whatever monitoring tool, see if the floors drop. Personally I couldn't get the same result by tweaking my (Balanced) power plan, only the slider let it downclock, so it seemed to be acting like another layer on top of the power plan. It might not be the same situation for you, just thought I'd mention it in case could also be beta issues of course! Maybe they're screwing around with the whole thing

If you want to use something else than Bing in Chromium Edge, go to edge://settings/searchEngines. It's pretty blank, but say if you want to use Google, create a new entry with that search string:code:Lambert posted:Where? I don't see it. Or do you just mean the "IP settings" option?

I've downloaded the dev build of Chromium Edge and I wasn't expecting the entire UI to just become a carbon copy of Chrome, I though it would just be the way it renders pages. [edit] Specifically, is there any way to get either the glass effect or at least a neutral colour for the top bar, rather than the system accent colour? It's pretty garish; I've worked out how to enable the dark theme at least. Doctor_Fruitbat fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Apr 12, 2019 |

I used to basically use my Surface 3 as a laptop, but recently I've started using it more and more as a hybrid and I like it a lot more now (even if it's dog slow, right on the edge of bearable if you don't have thirty million tabs open). Reading books and comics and such in the upright position is real good and lazy browsing in bed also works like a charm with the pen. The worst bit is probably how crappy the touch keyboard is. Either it's always there, getting in the way when you don't need it or you manually open it every time you want to type something. But hey at least it's pretty customizable and I can have a full keyboard if I so desire. Plus to me at least it's the right size for typing too. I'm definitely considering a new(er) Pro as a replacement since it's poverty spec and over three years old now.

Also, if CPU performance is important, you probably shouldn't get an ultraportable in the first place because of cooling considerations (considering just getting a normal laptop plus a kindle fire or samsung tablet or something).
