Google disables Windows 10's new RAM usage fix on Chrome 85 as it caused high CPU usage
dontbeevil and 3 others reacted to RejZoR for a topic
Chrome is so terrible it's either a massive RAM hog and when they slightly fix that (it's still a fat slug) it becomes a massive CPU hog. And entire world still flocks to this pile of steaming garbage for some reason. WHY?! It doesn't have any features what so ever, it's not even that fast, they sacked ad blocking API's, so why the hell everyone uses this garbage? Because you can login to google account in it from the menu? I just can't understand the idea behind this insane popularity of Chrome...4 points -
Google disables Windows 10's new RAM usage fix on Chrome 85 as it caused high CPU usage
Erikas and 2 others reacted to xrobwx71 for a topic
I'm not about what browser I think is the best or what browser another person doesn't think is the best. I use Chrome because it works and works well for me and my business across many different hardware configs. I have It on 15+ computers including, laptops and about 8 phones. I am integrated into the Google ecosystem and use their other apps as well. The above has nothing whatsoever to do with being a fanboy. If you don't like it, don't use it. Super simple. I never think about how much memory it uses as it never causes me any issues, on any computer I have occasion to use whether it be personal, business or my Mom's, various friends and other Family. It's simply not a problem for me. I have a gaming rig and when I game, I can have Chrome open with 12+ tabs and never know its there. I don't see the uproar.3 points -

Is it cloud connected to track my whereabouts, suggest safe places to stop/check tires? Will it auto-dial 911 if I'm shot on the side of the road while inflating my tires? Sensors to monitor outside temps and feed me realtime estimates on how long it will take to inflate? How about connecting me with my friends also filling their tires throughout the community? Whats the subscription fee for timely firmware updates? Inflation stats via site portal?3 points -
Microsoft is removing the ability to fetch files from a PC using OneDrive [Update]
Nas and 2 others reacted to NXTwoThou for a topic
Here's how I read that: You've got a Windows 8.1 machine and a Windows 10 machine. From the 8.1 machine, you -can- fetch files from the 10 machine. From the 10 machine you -can not- fetch files from the 8.1 machine. 8.1 supports grabbing but not serving. As of July 31st, neither supports serving.3 points -

Apple's watchOS 7 public beta won't offer a way to roll back to stable software
briangw and 2 others reacted to TwistedMetal for a topic
Some people are just fans who like to try out new gear. It's not for me personally but l understand it. I beta test software all the time. Paid or not paid, I do it to see what's new coming out. Some people like to help out just to do it, no money involved. I have been doing Windows Insider, Xbox Insider, and Apple public betas since they started. People like to play video games, watch tv/movies, it's just about the same thing. Just something to do and the feeling of helping out (even if they are the top billion dollar companies in the world).3 points -

Microsoft is removing the ability to fetch files from a PC using OneDrive [Update]
Cosmocronos and one other reacted to NXTwoThou for a topic
Lame. My boss uses this feature several times a week. His notebook has limited storage and he's frequently surprised when he needs to dig out an old contact or photo. We just leave his machine on at work and he pulls as he needs. He doesn't want to spend for additional storage on his notebook nor does he want to keep files sitting in cloud storage. Very disappointed that Microsoft keeps choosing to remove features from it's products. I guess I should be thankful they didn't do the reset button of "Here's our new OneDrive! Half the features, but..it's new..and those features will be coming back as exciting 'new' features in the coming years!" This was a feature that has worked well for our particular use case for many years. If their intention was to force people into more cloud usage, it's going to be completely the opposite in our case. I suspect he'll go the route of getting a larger drive and be pretty angry for a long time.2 points -
Microsoft is removing the ability to fetch files from a PC using OneDrive [Update]
Slackerr and one other reacted to +DonC for a topic
The issue that I'm aware of is the scenario where an employee has OneDrive set up on their personal laptop to access their work files via Office 365 and then the employee discovers this option and enables it. The employer ends up with the facility to retrieve any file from the personal laptop regardless of location and this is no good for either the employee or the employer. It is a liability hellhole.2 points -

Pretty sure that's a 6x6 transparent "radar dish": https://www.bricklink.com/v2/c...alogitem.page?P=44375b#T=C" rel="external nofollow">https://www.bricklink.com/v2/c...talogitem.page?P=44375b#T=C Based on those pictures it looks that is part of a mechanism to make Mario go up or down as the "screen" moves. I definitely agree on your comment - I really don't have any interest in the other Mario sets they're selling. If they'd made sets with Minifigs on the characters and creatures that would have been so much more interesting. Oh OK, I didn't watch the video but now I'm guessing the dish glides along the tiles. That makes more sense than a suction cup which wouldn't grip with all of the creases. Does the screen actually scroll on a caterpillar track? That would be crazy. Image 4 of the above seems to suggest turning a crank on the right hand side of the TV moves the picture or Mario.2 points -

SoftBank mulls the sale of Arm Holdings with Apple's Arm-based Macs on the horizon
margrave and one other reacted to RejZoR for a topic
Selling ARM would be stupid. Full stop. ARM holds monopoly on mobile devices. They even sell licenses to Qualcomm, Mediatek, Samsung, Apple (yeah, even though their stuff is in-house they still need to pay ARM license because they use ARM architecture or at least parts of it). That's just mobile devices. There are bunch of other devices like routers that also run ARM processors. This thing is huge. But that's quickly a mentality of your owners if they are some sort of investment BS and not actual owner with focus.2 points -

Intel's 12th-gen Alder Lake CPUs might have big and little cores
Slackerr and one other reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
A better tactic would be big x86 cores + little ARM cores on same SoC/Motherboard. But we're still years away from a OS which would be able to do that seamlessly. Windows NT has been capable of agnostically scheduling and routing threads to varied architectures and instruction sets for years. The OS isn't the limitation, it comes down to performance cost/benefit of those cores. Reference Info: NT CPU/GPU/Etc scheduling which includes translation, conversion and dynamic execution across any type of processor. Examples like x86 code translated and wrapped to run on the faster GPU cores if it would run faster or if the CPU is underload even if the CPU would normally be the faster pathway. There has to be more than a battery/power benefit to what Intel is doing. For example the power consumption being reduced to increase speed of the main cores or keep the processor in consumer power limits. For example, one thoughts is that instead of having 16 big and power hungry cores, smaller tasks could run on 8 little cores which would not impede the clock frequency or power needs of the 8 big cores, thus allowing more efficient threads without a per core clockspeed drop across the CPU. This approach would also make sense based on what Intel hold over AMD, and that is core clock speed and performance. Intel could use this model to keep their all core clock speeds higher while offering more threads for light tasks. Thus giving them 10600K core speeds on 16+ core CPUs.2 points -

MX--Linux: preparing the installation of a Python-development environment.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but that last part has it explained clearly. You need to write the following command: sudo apt-get install python3-venv Looking through all of your above posts here, I can't find one use of sudo before executing the command. Unless python3-venv is already installed on your machine? With that said, I'm not an expert at Linux.1 point -
SoftBank mulls the sale of Arm Holdings with Apple's Arm-based Macs on the horizon
MFH reacted to George P for a topic
Softbank owning ARM is bad as any one player owning the company. And I highly doubt it Apple or Google or similar would want to buy, this won't be so strategic. Unless Softbank decides to divide, kill, sell and destroy the ecosystem - in that case many players would want to devise a plan to save ARM. Softbank is a ticking bomb. Softbank just owns it, it doesn't mess with ARM Holdings as a business though. As far as ARM goes, it just keeps working away like it always has. Softbank isn't in the mobile device business like Apple , or Google, or Samsung are, all of which license and pay ARM to use their tech. If one of those companies, who are directly involved in the mobile market with hardware were to try and buy ARM it'd be a huge blow to the rest of the OEMs. Apple wants to get away from x86 because it doesn't want to share it's profits with Intel. Just think if they owned ARM and it's IP and every other hardware maker using ARM chips had to suddenly start paying Apple licensing fees?1 point -
Microsoft Surface Duo launch reportedly pushed back to 'sometime this summer'
Jumping Jacinta reacted to George P for a topic
There's no rush, specially not for something like the Neo. And even dual screen/foldable phones aren't in high demand. Why rush if you don't have to? Let's put the Neo aside as it is questionable that it is ever released. As for the Duo, MS has made a big deal out of this device with even Panay putting up posts on it. This reported delay, if accurate will only further erode the fanboy and enterprise confidence in MS to deliver a mobile device be it Android or any other OS. By any measure this reported delay will only further impede any chance the Duo had of achieving success. I don't see it that way, a month or two later isn't huge. If this was a delay of a year like the Neo, then you'd have more of a case. As far as it having success or not, they're not really looking to take the market by storm, so who's to say what they're goal for it is anyways? The way I see it, it's a piece in the surface line for their partners to sell along other Surface devices to business as a complete package, and as a biproduct it has support for dual/folding screens as far as their apps go. Both of those goals can be reached without much fuss if this thing comes out in August.1 point -
