  2. I assume they'll also be suspending donations to those who voted against election certification in 2016, 2004, and 2000? No? How odd.

  3. Trump dictatorship? ; that's a bit of a stretch as it's the left who wants to remain in permanent power and just about everyone is helping there to make that easier since they are heavily biased against Trump who's clearly overall better for the country than Biden is. because it does not take a genius to figure out that if Trump made the economy better etc, which he obviously did, and Biden pretty much reverses everything Trump did, which he will, it's going to put the country back into the toilet (with Biden, America is not #1 like it was with Trump). but like I say, if a republican never wins again, it will be obvious what happened, which basically started in Nov 2020. like some saying I heard goes, which goes something like... "if you silence what someone has to say, it does not prove that they were a liar, only that you fear what they have to say" ; the left routinely does this when people say stuff they don't like. but if they had nothing to hide/fear, why censor opposing views? ; probably because the truth is generally not on their side so they got to resort to shady tactics to "win".

  4. Well someone has to do something. Certain sections of the media openly supported those attempting to turn the U.S in to a Trump dictatorship with the failed coup. I also like the following initiative, "Microsoft also highlighted that some of its employees expressed interest in donating funds to work that will tackle and resolve issues related to democracy and politics, rather than political candidates. To that end, the company has announced a separate "Democracy Forward Initiative" which will fund organizations engaged in the aforementioned activities" Well done Microsoft. It would be helpful if the other tech giants joined the Democracy Forward Initiative as well. Combined it could become a genuine force to encourage change and encourage the far right to back away from their violent sedition.

  11. I liked some aspects of Edge but they just never seemed to care to stamp out idiosyncratic bugs. There were things like the tab preview deciding to pop out and stay even when you weren't hovering over a tab, or tabs deciding to just stop and not load anything, or the entire app deciding to randomly disappear and relaunch, or extensions working in some tabs but not other tabs. These things were all very infrequent, but I couldn't fathom why the developers decided "yes, working 99% of the time == done".

  14. If this whole graphics card "shortage" phase goes for too long, pc gaming may actually be dead in a few years. Terrible entry level cards are sold at a price of xbox series x or ps5 in my country. A mid-range card like rtx3600ti costs more than twice as much as a ps5. The whole market serves for miners and streamers now. I'm not getting anything until there's a decent card at around $200-300. edit: btw ps5 and xbox series x both cost a little over 1200$ in my area, so do the math.

  15. No, it isn't. It is though. It's been one huge flaming piece of crap since launch. The patches haven't helped either. The "game" itself was a massive bug and their patches are adding even more bugs? Who needs that many bugs??? Yeah if you're on a console. If you're a gamer then you've got a PC and you're enjoying the hell out of the game. That's why people disagree with you. Consoles drag every would-be great game down just so they'll "run."

  19. I fail to understand why users do not do some basic research before they purchase. These mesh systems are designed to work with their router.. If your going to go mesh, you should get rid of your non mesh router wifi.. If your desire is to run different ssids for 2.4 and 5.. Then you should of purchased mesh that supports that. But really there should be no need for this - any modern device, even iot devices should work with a common ssid. I run common ssid for both 2.4 and 5, and have no issues with any devices connecting. I run multiple vlans based on ssid, all of the ssid are both 2.4 and 5.. iot devices that only do 2.4 connect at 2.4, iot devices that support 5 connect to 5.. Echo devices and Roku's for example all connect at 5.. I have never seen them move to 2.4.. For starters they don't move - so they don't normally move to different AP even.. Only when I do a firmware upgrade and all of the AP reboot, they switch over to another AP during this process. But once all 3 AP are back, devices normally settle back to the Best AP for them.. If you need more coverage with your new mesh, then buy another node/satellite for it.. If current system does not do what you want - return/sell/bin it. And get something that will do exactly what you want. While running multiple ssid for different bands has some uses, it would only be when you want to specific assign devices to a specific band and prevent them from jumping to the other band. Normally for bandwidth sharing issues - maybe you have some device that doesn't need 5ghz bandwidth, and you don't want it using any of that 5ghz bandwidth so you leave it for your higher bandwidth requirement devices. But for devices that move about.. You are going to see issues using more than 1ssid because devices normally will not jump to another SSID unless the one they are connected to goes away or its signal is so poor that it really won't work before they will jump to a different ssid they have saved.

  27. Two words: enterprise users. Thats why its still there. No matter the subject someone always mentions the enterprise and/or what Grandma is doing. What about the typical user who is using Windows Home or Pro. LOL Fun fact. Microsoft makes more money from enterprise users than home users. Therefore they get priority. IE isn't hurting you by being there, and it would hurt enterprise users if not there. Another Fun fact: Windows 10 Home as nothing to with the enterprise. It's bloat and idiots are still using it. Yet another fun fact: the base OS for all versions of Windows 10 is identical and IE is a base component. So removing it from there removes it from all other SKUs. That would be great! I know. it's impossible to remove. it can't be done. It will be in Windows forever. It would easier to get man to Mars. I already replied to Mobious... Why can't we meet in the middle. Remove the IE front end by default in Windows 10 Home and Pro. Because there are still some popular web applications out there, usually run by large companies, that still need IE. Heck, until around 4 years ago, a company I worked for had to use IE....in compatibility mode to access their old AF CRM software. You didn't answer my actual question... I did. You apparently didn’t understand my response. Did you think enterprise == Windows 10 Enterprise? I literally meant enterprise, not the version. The fact that people (especially these days VPN) into their work networks to get access to things, the sku of Windows really has nothing to do with it.

Im definitely not a fan of IE, but MS is not like Apple, they don’t just cut people off. They keep backwards compatibility for as long as it makes sense. It’s always been that way.

  30. Microsoft to remove Edge Legacy on Windows 10 in the April Patch Tuesday update

    Two words: enterprise users. Thats why its still there. No matter the subject someone always mentions the enterprise and/or what Grandma is doing. What about the typical user who is using Windows Home or Pro. LOL Ya, what about them? Like Grandma running her Quickbooks from the 00s? It depends on IE's engine. There are hundreds of thousands of pieces of software that use Windows' HTML engine aka IE. Microsoft was explaining this, in court rooms, for average people, and in technical circles - for over 25 years now. Maybe not everyone will ever get it. But for me, please don't be one of them. it was only a matter of time before Mobious the defender of all things Microsoft does shows up. Can we meet in the middle somewhere? Why in the hell is the IE front end still available by default in Windows 10 Home and Pro?

  33. Here is the deal though. No matter what type of abstract naming NVidia could apply to these GPUs, there could be a couple of hundred different GPUs that would fall into each class. Example: If an OEM tunes for 1580mhz with 90w power delivery and cooling, and a similar notebook uses the same GPU naming, but is clocked 1250mhz with 65w power delivery - this would be an even bigger mess than the RTX 20xx series was. Now imagine 100 different notebooks all with slightly different clocks and power. So i.e. Max-Q becomes crazy stuff like Max-Q 13001580110 or just Max-Q - both being deceptive and a bit insane. This also means OEMS can design around their design, so if their chassis and cooling can't quite handle the upper end named GPU, but can do a lot more than the lower end GPU. They can clock up or down, and get a lot more performance that benefits the consumer. <- This is big, and instead of limiting performance to meet a 'name' - people will get the most performance possible. In the RTX 20xx generation of notebooks, along with the 9th and 10th generation of Intel CPUs - there is often a TON of performance left on the table. The CPU and GPU power and thermal setting defaults for the notebook I'm using now were average, but also up to 35% lower than what the unmodified hardware is capable of doing. (That is 35% for each, not combined.) Dell couldn't put the non-Max-Q in this Notebook size, so it is a Max-Q running at standard Max-Q settings. Yet, with a couple of tweaks, the RTX 2070 Max-Q stomps notebooks with the faster non-Max-Q 2070. It even gets close to the desktop RTX 2070 more than it should. All from a Max-Q named part that was limited by its name more than anything. (And by tweaks, just software settings. In the past I have done liquid metal and shunt modded notebooks; but, that was often just compensating for a ###### design. cough *Apple* (Irony is real, fixing Apple's crap, while people were telling me they make the best hardware.) TL;DR Specs are always better, even if the consumer doesn't know them, and it matters, they will find out, at least to compare the Notebooks. OEMs can get more performance out of the GPUs and match them to the hardware design better. With scaling clocks and power, there would end up being hundreds of different GPUs under an arbitrary 'class' name that means nothing. NVidia, like most companies, have done some stupid ###### over the years. This is not one of them.

  34. Nvidia is requiring OEMs to specify the power levels of its mobile GPUs

    Raw comparative data is better than more abstractions. Also, MX should never be the 'performance' variant. See Geforce 4 MX. By giving users the power potential and clocks, they have something specific to compare, that should be close to real world performance.

  41. It makes perfect sense to me. UPI has been so successful because it is a truly cross platform level playing field backed by the government with no transaction fees that any proprietary payment solution is bound to fail. Despite having their own service, they could have just created a UPI client for India just like what Google Pay, Samsung Pay, WhatsApp Pay and others do, but they chose to withdraw from the market, which is also fine.

  46. "We use the information we collect from all our services" - Google Privacy Policy Why do people still use GDrive, it isn't like they even hide this anymore. AI research, things other smaller companies have gotten into legal trouble when using ML/AI on user stored data. And Google doesn't stop there, digging through financial documents and GDoc letters to build trend prediction. This is personal and corporate data, and Google reads, uses, and leverages it. Can anyone just imagine if Microsoft was scanning through people's OneDrive to find information for trends or government leverage or stock market predictions. It would be the biggest scandal in the tech news for years. Just Win10 sending crashes, verifying sites with smartscreen or users optionally turning on voice/ink training caused a freaking meltdown. Just stop letting Google read and use your ######. Simple.

  47. How exactly? If they hadn't pulled the rug from under Epic, then they wouldn't be in court having to defend their position. Now they're in court, they're getting pulled over the coals. They pulled the rug out from beneath themselves. They violated terms they agreed to, that pretty much all other developers follow just the same. When they violated that agreement, Apple dropped the app until they wanted to comply. Epic could have EASILY just allowed for purchases outside the app, like other apps already do, and allowed their customer base to continue playing their game, paying for in-game transactions, all while not giving Apple a penny. Instead, they opted to screw over their own fanbase by violating the agreement, then tell their customers that it's Apple's fault they can't play the game. It's pathetic. What's worse though is that Epic was willing to negotiate an agreement with Apple, and only made this into an ordeal after Apple turned them down... which means that if Apple had said yes and worked with them, Epic would be richer and they wouldn't be putting on this circus about how they're fighting for the "little guy". Sweeney is a swindler, as greasy as they come. We all know companies like Apple and Google are greedy, but if you believe for a second that Epic is anything less than that, you're either blind or high as a kite...

  49. Because very few people use RSS these days. I REALLY miss IE’s RSS functionality. Sadly RSS seems to have fallen out if fashion somewhat 😞 Me too! There is no tracking in RSS unlike social media feeds and no stupid algorithms where you can miss content due to their flawed rules. The content comes to you clean and non-cluttered. And it felt so natural in a web browser vs a separate reader app. Edge should get an RSS sidebar like IE (Ctrl+G). But I think no ads and tracking in RSS/Atom feeds is probably why Google and Microsoft no longer support it. You are the product now and it doesn't benefit their ad network(s).
