Recursion without calling the fucntion inside a fucntion
WereCatf replied to Wictorian's topic in Programming
Read the error better: it says you can't put a function inside a function, NOT that you can't call a function from another function. You are defining a hotkey for ESC inside a function, but that's not how hotkeys work. -
You want to shave £300 off that while still getting something close to those specs? Not doable. Either increase your budget or make do with lesser specs.

Don't believe every scam you see on the Internet.

Depends on what you have installed and running, but mostly yes. Windows tends to do all sorts of things in the background.

But then disk-activity would still stay high. In OP's screenshot, disk-activity also drops out.

No, Steam is perfectly capable of downloading and extracting at the same time. I actually just installed a big game myself a few moments ago and I have never seen this kind of skipping as OP does.

I don't have a fix for you, but I have one step you could try and see how it affects things: install Linux on some throwaway disk, then install Steam there and see if the issue persists. If it does, it's almost certainly not a software-issue, but could instead be e.g. your ISP throttling Steam-downloads. You could also sign up for a month to some good VPN-provider and see if the issue persists when using a VPN: if it goes away, then it definitely is your ISP. EDIT: I recommend e.g. Mullvad, if you wanna try the VPN-route.

Prove to me that no program ever was improved by telemetry.

Why would you be importing time from a human? That doesn't make much sense.

That's projection, not an argument.

Mmmno. They've always had to vet patches, this is not new in any way. The issue is that universities were expected to be more trustworthy than others and thus patches coming from universities specifically -- not everyone -- were let through with less scrutiny. Of course there is. E.g. many UI-design improvements come from telemetry -- knowing what features get used the most, which ones get used the least, how long it takes users to find their way into this or that feature and so on and so forth.

Recursion without calling the fucntion inside a fucntion
WereCatf replied to Wictorian's topic in Programming
Well, here's an extremely simple script that calls a function inside another function: ~Space::firstFunction() thirdFunction(x) { return x + 1 } secondFunction(y) { MsgBox % "thirdFunction returned: " . thirdFunction(y) } firstFunction() { secondFunction(3) ExitApp } Either you have some old or odd version of Autohotkey installed or you're simply doing something wrong yourself. -
What is the worst tech advice you've ever recieved?
WereCatf replied to CerealExperimentsLain's topic in General Discussion
If your dad learned to use PCs in the 90's or earlier, then that was actually sound advice. Windows used to even have this screen that said "You can now turn off the PC", because there was no way for the OS to turn the PC off -- you had to turn it off from the power-button. Also, pressing the power-button while the OS was running would just immediately power everything off similar to how it'd go, if you flipped the switch on the PSU. -
There are already a billion of these thread here: do we really need yet another one?

There are all the instructions needed in the following link to pass through a GPU, but you'll need to adapt them to your distro: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF

No, there's no reason to choose the old version. I have always used the 2.x series myself and so does my husband.

Keepass.

No, sorry. I have exactly zero interest in Apple's stuff, so I have never had any reason to look into running their OS in a VM. Besides that, you should probably first look into how to use libvirt KVM in the first place to make and run virtual-machines -- you'll want to install virt-manager and virt-viewer and then fiddle around with the virt-manager. If you're comfortable around CLI, you can manage your VMs with virsh as well, so that might also be useful to get some practice in with.

Yet another stupid "insert-random-thing day?" Wtf.

If the adapter specifically says it supports both, then yes, but if it doesn't say that it supports both, then it won't. No. SATA is SATA and M.2 is just the connector; an adapter would basically just pass the signal through as-is.
-
I just checked and it seems your NUC has a Thunderbolt - port; you should perhaps invest in an eGPU-enclosure and a discrete GPU. That way you could also actually play some games on your NUC as well.
-
In order to be able to passthrough the iGPU, it'd have to be reserved so the host-machine won't use it and that means you can't see anything the host-machine does. You'd have to setup everything so that your Linux-distro automatically boots up the VM, and if you needed to do anything on the host-machine, you'd need to do it e.g. via SSH over the network from another PC. It's possible, but it's far from perfect.

You could passthrough the iGPU, but then your host-machine wouldn't have any GPU.

I'm only aware of Pidgin.
