This reminds me of the stupid Gigabyte RGB software…

Not sure if this is till the case, but for a long time the kernel driver had a known unpatched security vulnerability. And uninstalling the software did not remove the kernel files, so now your system is vulnerable until you reinstall Windows…

And I fully expect some kernel level Anti-Cheat to be no better in this regard.

If I remember from PirateSoftware talking about this, recurring Twitch subs stop if the billing date falls within the ban window, so 14 days ban means losing potentially half of your subscribers.

I have one group I play in where there are 7-10 Players. It’s pure chaos, though since we play very infrequently and a lot of the players don’t take the game too seriously it somehow works out.

Still would not recommend unless you like roleplaying with your fellow players until you get to your turn of GM attention.

I have a lot of experience with Windows and some with Linux.

The driver problems with Laptops are not only on Linux, though it is a lot more common, depending on the manufacturer Windows also has a ton of problems if you don’t want to use the 8 year old pre-installed driver that was never updated.

And Linux is held back by (proprietary) software availability as well. Most of the time it would be Microsoft Office (a lot of people I know complain about alternatives like Google Docs or Libre Office not being up to par by a long shot). Another big thing is Games. Sure, most of them work quite well out of the box, but if they do not it would be beyond most of my friend groups skills to fix it. Not to mention the massive library of competitive games that some people play exclusively that just don’t work at all.

I’ve been experimenting recently and while most games run fine and VRR & HDR & Multimonitor somewhat work after some experimenting & tweaks I still have problems with a few games.

Some recent examples would be Noita stuttering and running in slow motion. Getting anything from Ubisoft running (when it does run it runs great though). And modding is very hit & miss.

If Dual Boot with windows (especially if running Bitlocker) wasn’t such a PITA I would likely use Linux as my main OS.

In fact Linux is the superior version of Factorio, since you get to have asynchronous saves that don’t pause the game

Massive Ground planes on a multi layer board were my breaking point.

I tried to clean the through holes where a micro USB port was secured and only could get it cleared by drilling out the solder… (Only had a soldering iron and wick available)

Ich habe unbound als eigenen Rekursiven Revolver angebunden. Bis jetzt noch keine Performance Probleme gehabt, zumindest nicht mehr als mit anderen DNSSEC Resolvern.

I’ve been playing Elden Ring with the Seamless Co-op mod with a few friends, it’s been a blast so far.

You can do the same on Windows (mount ssh shares), there is an Fuse like project for Windows: WinFsp.

It could actually, the Heat spreader is usually bonded to the Chip with some form of Indium Solder, which usually has a melting point of up to 210°C (most compositions are around 120-140°C).

Solder likes to form a similar ball around traces and components, since the solder does not stick to the silk screen of the PCB.

And I remember that this is exactly what happened in the Gamer Nexus video, the Indium Solder was melting due to Overheating.

I picked up Starsector again this weekend and having a blast with a modded playthrough.

“Allows” You have to add/change a registry key, so it’s not like this is an option Microsoft wants normal users to have.

Really? It hasn’t been reset for me once, I wonder why I’m not affected.

You could just make a backup of the registry key and install it again in a few clicks .

I wish, but multiple Laptops with unavailable drivers, barely working trackpads, sleep issues and a few other annoyances tell me it isn’t always as easy.

I haven’t found many systems that Windows doesn’t run

I disabled that realy quickly… If I wanted to search the Web I would use a browser. I can only recomment that, it speeds up search a lot and it now actualy works as one would expect

Do you know what model AiO you have? Some models report pump speeds as higher since they have multiple magnets triggering the RPM sensor, so the 1600 might actually be 800 or even 400, which is way too low for the pump.

I would try setting the pump (and AiO fan) to 100% speed in the Bios for testing. Some pumps work well with a fan curve, some don’t.

Edit with more technical details: Normally each revolution should generate 2 Pulses on the rpm Feedback wire. But Pumps don’t always follow this spec so might over or underreport their actual rpm.

Thing is you can have a single page app that still works with middle click, depending on the framework it’s mostly automatic or some config for the router.

At least that’s what I can say from my experience building a single page app, but considering I’m using new tabs extensively I did have some bias to make it work.
