OfficerBribe,

W10 will be EOL on 2025 Oct 14. They are practically the same, what exactly makes you want to go back to W10?

You need to find appropriate storage driver that you then load during install (extracted in *.inf format not *.exe)

Possible alternative is to disable some proprietary storage related feature in BIOS / UEFI so that you would use standard drivers that are included in install. UEFI update might help as well. Usually there is a guide for all this.

OfficerBribe,

Price difference has always been huge as far as I remember. I don’t think I even have bought anything from Kellogg’s myself, cost always seemed too high.

If I ever eat this stuff I prefer muesli over regular cereal. For me it tastes better and in general it should be also healthier since it contains real oats, nuts, dried fruit, sugar amount is not as high. That said I often take the one with chocolate pieces :)

OfficerBribe,

Good for her, but it’s not like she spent her childhood in jail. Useless article in my opinion, without any details. Maybe she had a perfect childhood.

Have never seen this as a consumer though. I remember buying a laptop 10 years ago without OS since it was cheaper than same model with preinstalled Windows. Checked a random laptop and same still applies, version with Windows costs 30 eur more in my local webshop for what seems to be the same model with same specifications (No English available, use translate if needed):

For me speed increase is pretty significant. Testing with Ookla’s Speedtest I get around 60-100 Mbps download with 4G and around 300 - 500 for 5G so sometimes it’s faster that my Wi-Fi which usually is around 300 - 400.

Realistically though I do not feel this difference, 4G seems enough. Do not see significant difference in battery life as well. In the past I think 5G did eat more battery where I am so I stayed on 4G for a long time before trying 5G again.

OfficerBribe,

All I see is cherry picking random dumb comment thread and trying to spin it as if it defines the whole use base / experience and thinking Lemmy is used by the most sophisticated intellectuals.

OfficerBribe,

Switch to Edge would make sense due to how well it integrates with things like your Entra ID account, choosing Chrome now is bizarre. We also had Chrome as primary browser for years, but now we are pushing Edge as primary browser. Firefox was and still is an option for us as well.

OfficerBribe,

Their maps are pretty bad, there are better alternatives although it can depend on your region. Navigation and POI search wise though they still seem the best to me.

OfficerBribe,

I work pretty frequently with PS and have no issues with syntax. It’s easy to read and you always have autocomplete so there is just 1 extra click to get from -r to -Recurse. Same command could be also written as this due to alias feature.

rm 'C:' -r -fo

It’s just not the best practice since in PowerShell it is recommended to not use aliases for readability reasons. Also less chance to mess things up due to how verbose all commands and their parameters are.

OfficerBribe,

It is. Besides some very niche bugs everything in the core of PowerShell seems logical to me and easy to understand.

OfficerBribe,

I suppose some people expect you should get royalties every time your voice appears anywhere so in their eyes he should be a millionaire from this gig or something ridiculous like that.

OfficerBribe,

It’s couple words that could have been said by anyone with nice voice and good diction. I’m probably not such person, but if you would pick 100 random people, you would get someone who could do a good job for this kind of quick announcement.

Most internal employees would even do this for free. One time payment of 200 eur seems fair.

OfficerBribe,

Because it’s their newest OS? Why do you think there is some hidden malicious reason, all software companies want everyone to start using their newest offerings as soon as possible.

OfficerBribe,

You could upgrade for free since Windows 7, why is it suddenly W10 -> W11 path suspicious? There are probably several reasons why these upgrades have been free:

  • Microsoft wants all internet connected Windows devices to be patched. Without these free upgrades, many would probably still run W7 because for general user it still works.
  • People nowadays expect OS upgrades to be free at least couple times before new HW is needed.
  • Microsoft wants to keep dominating PC OS space
  • Selling Windows licenses to consumers is not the main way how Microsoft earns money, it’s the business / enterprise customers that keep Microsoft floating. Larger companies pay millions per year for things like Windows client / server licenses, M365 and Azure subscriptions.
OfficerBribe,

Another article about this that makes it clearer.

  1. Ireland team wanted to boycott game due to Israel’s actions
  2. Israeli player called Ireland antisemitic
  3. Ireland team refused to shake hands. Possibly would have happened also without #2
OfficerBribe,

Ditch CMD and use PowerShell like a civilised person. ls is a valid built-in alias to Get-ChildItem. cd itself is an alias to Set-Location.

runas.exe cannot start elevated process. Exceptions seem to be MMC snap-ins so you can launch something like lusrmgr.msc or devmgmt.msc with admin account and you will have admin rights.

OfficerBribe,

It’s not really a problem that can be solved though. Should Taylor Swift’s team earn 2x more than Kanye’s? They possibly already earn above average what one usually would by supporting someone else.

She is obviously not going to refuse what people are willing to pay for her. Earnings for world famous musicians and actors always has and will be ridiculous.

OfficerBribe,

Kind of. Parent company is based in Netherlands since 2007. Yandex search engine was launched on 1997.

OfficerBribe,

That’s San Andreas. I loved all their missions and even though they also could be reduced to only, driving, flying and shooting they all felt distinct and memorable.

Invading Madd Dogg’s mansion and stealing lyric book and delivering it back OG Loc who had a party in your hood was fun. Stealing jetpack for a hippy, burying alive someone in construction site while they are in portable toilet, doing heists with Catalina, all that was fun.

I can’t seem to recall a single GTA 4 or 5 mission / moment truly memorable besides the line “Causin, let’s go bowling”. Maybe it’s all related to when I played SA and probably my memory was better then.

OfficerBribe,

Thought you meant New Model Army mission which also feature RC heli, bombs and barrels :)

I remember not knowing how to activate magnet and thinking that mission is impossible.
