Let's plan on Saturday, the 10th of May at 12:00 pm EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) on our IRC channel: #shiftlinux

You can get info on how to log in to Neowin's IRC here: http://irc.neowin.net/

So far we have these members asking to help:

Commodore Max

Cosmin

Mark Jensen

Jason Amison

Kitch

bmaher

Simon360

We will discuss Shift direction and implementation of our Fluxbox and Gnome versions. If I have left any staff members out of the list, it is simply because I haven't heard from you. Please let me know ASAP if you want to be a part of this development team.

Ugh. Won't be able to make that one, either. :(

I have made changes to fix some outstanding open items on Shift Flux 0.6.5, but have not re-created an iso out of the changes yet. And that's about where I am.

Well, let me know when you can make it, Mark... we can always move the time and / or date.....

Friday, Saturday and Sunday are all bad for me this weekend. Got kids baseball games all this week, but maybe if we plan for around 8:30 PM Central Time on Thursday?

Other than that, it would have to be Wednesday the 14th (nothing scheduled yet that evening) or possibly Friday the 16th.

Can't guarantee anything, though, I am afraid. With a lot of rain-outs the first part of the season, and four kids to have make-up games, any "clear" time can be scheduled at the last minute :(

If I am correct, that would mean the meeting is at 5pm BST? Or have I got my conversions all wrong, again? :p

If it is at 5pm BST then I'll be there. Got work at 7pm BST so 2 hours before is more than enough :D

See you then lads! (and girls if any of you are that sex :p)

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
