      Windows isn't bad enough

      This one sentence is probably the best answer to the question "Why has linux not taken over yet?".

      he's correct.

       

      Also the most important reason as to why no one is using Linux:
      Windows isn't bad enough. In most cases, it works well enough that no one even considers moving to a different OS. As long as I can run my games and browse the internet, why would I choose Linux? 

      Also people just learned to deal with Windows problems. 

       

      If you switch to Linux you will run into different problems you may not know how to deal with because you don't even know what's causing them. 

      From my experience those are simple issues you can fix in 5min if you know exactly what's causing it or spend whole day tinkering because you don't even know where to start.

      Linux needs to get to a point where it's superior to Windows in so many ways that it makes Windows look bad -- even to newcomers.

       

      Like, be more reliable and easier to use.

       

      Full-on embarrassing Windows.

    I swear windows 10 hasn't got some of the more…

    It seems that network connection priority may be a manual setting: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-change-the-priorty-sequence-of-the-network/f5f17a64-e913-4e15-9737-08f141dec6d6 I've played around with it before, but almost never had to prioritise WiFi over LAN
  2. AMD has been quietly funding projects over the years, in an effort to get CUDA-based code running atop HIP/ROCm with as little developer intervention as possible. One of the more recent projects was ZLUDA:

      As a Stable Diffusion user who pretty much has to rule out AMD GPUs for my next upgrade due to lacking CUDA (and Linux know-how, long story), really hope this is the major breakthrough in making AMD GPUs suck less in AI/machine learning. (And considering AMD again for GPU upgrades)

       

      Better get to work on this open-source'd code!

    Status Update

    Is this a GIF? Or some other prank?
  4. Reddit post, because I haven't seen a news article/alt. source for it yet.

     

     

  5. We'll see if Apple and Google actually support Right to Repair. Something tells me they'll find a way to make any new implementations of it less effective than originally intended...

      They use it as a PR and actively try to hurt it with malicious compliance.

    It's a little sad looking up the manufacturers…

    Some things don't age as well as we expect.

    Something tells me that a patent troll is involved...
  8. Interesting to see how nVIDIA's Grace Superchip fares against the competition:

    The article's comments seem to indicate that it's not outright winning the performance crown.

     

    Reddit seems to have their own opinion on the matter as well...

    The comments remind me more of how I used to use it often: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/google-search-kills-off-cached-webpages/?comments=1&comments-page=1
  10. I was wondering where this went -- I haven't been able to use it for months now 😞 Used to pull it up often when webpages no longer worked:

  13. I feel as though I'm missing something...

     

    What actual (technical/physical) problems would something like the HP Z rackmount workstation solve? When compared to a 2U or 4U server, the 1U Z workstations seem lacking 😐 If I were to provision high-performance VMs instead, I think I'd be able to achieve most of the capabilities of the Z workstation.

     

    If I use a DL580 from the same CPU generation for comparison, what am I missing? Have enterprise hypervisors really fallen this far behind, in terms of supported workloads and features exposed to end users?

     

    Or is this more about software licensing/seating issues, where vendors want to charge by socket/CPU/core count (on the physical host)? Just trying to wrap my head around this...

      From the marketing blurb they seem to be designed to be thrown in a rack and used remotely through RDP or such, and in this case... 1U just means you can pack more of them in the same space.

  14. Remember this status update? Well, there's a "fix" for it now...

     

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-10-kb5034441-security-update-fails-with-0x80070643-errors/

     

    But Windows Update won't be able to automatically detect that it's been applied. So, there's a bit more work to do after applying the manual fix.

     

    The important details are described in the article.
