not "older" keyboards, it's just the standard layout to have two. the idea is that like shift and ctrl, it's a modifier key, and you can use either hand to access it, while using the other hand to access the key you want to "modify". it's just that the windows key is rarely used in today's "what are hotkeys anymore" era of computing.

the nintendo DSi (i think.. might be wrong on which exact platform it was) was WEP only well into the WPA2 era. basicly it launched right at the tail end of WEP making any sense at all.. and they made no effort to even consider future-hardening their device. so - while it's likely to be a hardware limitation at least in part, nintendo has a track record of not even considering future-readiness while designing their hardware, and having no intention to patch things down the line if it's not an exploit that can be used for sideloading. and that, is why nintendo is -as compared to their expenses- technically more wealthy than apple.

linux ISO's ofcourse. -
that sounds very similar to the behavior i'd expect when your boot drive is dying, might be worth checking that before you spend hours upon hours of troubleshooting.

this is why you scroll up and down to see if the pixel moves or not.

hat depends on how big a battery you add.. my usual go-to brand is CSB, they have a series specificly for UPS use. i've ran an ultracell once, and it did fairly well, defenately better than kung long..
-
it's just that those inverters tend to be.. expensive. but that said, the setup proposed in the video is really the way to go if you dont feel comfortable modifying a UPS to handle a bigger battery.
-
the reason UPS'es are expensive, is because they are designed to run 24/7 and be able to take over the load at a moment's notice. a separate inverter will still mean that a power outage takes out your computer, you then need to plug it in the inverter and start it up again. on that note.. most cheap inverters are utter garbage. as it turns out making something good costs money. as for the replacement batteries.. there's two strong suggestions for you: - most of them just have regular standard lead-acid batteries below the "manufacturer's label" on the battery. when the battery goes jello you pull it out, peel the marketing label off, see what's underneath, order that, and call it a day. - if you want to run off a car battery to have 'all day battery life'.. either buy a UPS with an external battery connector, or just remove the battery from a regular office UPS and run the leads out to a pair of car batteries (pair because you really want a 24 volt unit)

so, i was trowing together a minecraft instance for some creative stuff, and because apparently there is no version overlap between worldedit, and worldedit UI on the forge side, i had to use fabric loader..
and because fabric loader has "nvidium", i decided to try to see how well that works..
for those not aware.. minecraft java edition starts to lag hard when you go past the 12-ish chunk render distance. there's many optimization mods out there that ease this, one of the more recent examples is "nvidium" which as the name implies uses some nividia specific OpenGL stuff to INSANELY boost performance... and finally fix minecraft's horrendously broken vsync.
result being... i now have this view of my redstone "grid world" map, without even a smidge of stutter:
for those that lose the sense of scale here..
- this world is entirely 4x4 block grid pattern, either yellow/orange chunks, or blue/cyan chunks.
- each chunk is outlined by a slightly darker border
- the edges of region files and center of region files are marked by blue chunks.
- region files are 32x32 chunks
so.. this view is almost an entire region file, or from coords 0;0 where i am now, out to about 512 on each axis, with performance to spare. without nvidium i'd generally run at 12 chunk distance, which means i'd only be able to see about half way to that center "dot" in the distance.
all of this really goes to show.. java is not minecraft java edition's only problem.
(oh, and PS, i didnt only try this in my plot world, it's just that normal worlds lose their sense of scale even more...)

minecraft's vsync cant actually hold 60FPS, most of the time you'll get 50-ish FPS with vsync enabled.
yeah it doesn't look like it can keep up when I fly in creative, my minecraft also stutters, not sure if it's because how complex the later versions are, it's not like I have a slow PC either

Can I clean my GPU shared memory in a Asus laptop?
manikyath replied to Dimonlime's topic in Graphics Cards
i would love to clean my memory after what some friends occasionally send me on discord... but i assume OP wants to clear up memory allocated to the GPU, so it can be used as system memory. -
afaik the EU doesnt specificly disallow those things to be in a TOS, they just have rules for what a TOS can or cannot enforce. so they can claim your first born in the TOS, but that is not something enforcable by TOS so it is essentially void even if it is there and agreed to.
-
in other news, a public park can cause minors to be exposed to criminals. are you gonna sue the post office when someone sends you dick pics trough the mail? --- i agree that this is a TERRIBLE thing to be in a TOS (and in the EU is considered void afaik) but the stated example is something where discord essentially cant be a party to the problem unless they do creepy levels of snooping on PM's.

it's a horrid market to be in. margins are razor thin, competition is fierce, and if you have any sense of honor in your body you'll lose to the most ruthless of scammers out-competing you. a place i used to work at did this on the side, we were our own source for old computers so we essentially had no purchase cost past a pile of kingston A400 SSD's, and even then we were lucky to sell our own inventory at some sense of profit before they got too old to even bother selling.

so.. i went to watch the video just to see how bad it was.. and you're 100% correct.. i see where they wanted to take this (that being the usual "youtube algorithm appeasing length, plus extras on floatplane"), but the editor cocked that up royally.

i'm blaming satya nadela personally for this. under steve ballmer windows was this archaic pile of bloat, caking on more and more things onto a decades old design philosophy... under satya nadela windows got trimmed down A LOT, which is good.. but they then also trimmed down the team responsible for making it a coherent platform. the stunning thing about that $40k example is that their entire thing could be replaced with onedrive and sharepoint included in their office suite.. but someone told them they need to have virtual desktops in the cloud, even though the experience is certified genuine worse™ azure does a lot of cool stuff.. it's just that no one uses those, and instead people get sucked into the idea of needing horrendously expensive garbage that adds nothing of worth. one of the setups i'm the most proud of in my 6 years of IT was an AAD setup where any new laptop just needed to be signed in with business credentials, and azure would -over the course of 30 minutes or so- deploy a douzen pieces of software, some that were manual drag&drop installs before, and provide the user with a "store" of optionals that are just one-click installs. made such a setup once.. as a demo, for the IT company's own AAD... and never ever sold that concept to a customer.
