I had just bought a brand new Kodak printer and was thinking it was that and even reported it to Kodak as being a PITA when moving from one print job to another. I never had that issue with my old HP printer that I replaced so I thought it was the Kodak.

Just tested it and it still is slow at processing the que but not quite as slow, so perhaps it was indeed an improvement. When I say slow, it took about 45seconds between jobs, now about 10 seconds, so not too bad. And both were Plain Text print jobs same size so better than nothing!

Man, maybe OS X will stop beach balling so much. I am a recent convert from Windows to OS X, but honestly, not impressed yet. I love the terminal, and Xcode ... but I do not know why that damn beachball has to pop up so much. Macbook Pro is one of the best notebokks I've ever owned though.

Smooth update for my hack, everything works as before & no kernel panics at all BTW, Does Windows XP SP2 support ExFAT ? BTW for me the update was massive at 977.21 MB as being a hack user it was best for me to download the Combo update.

XP does support exFAT, but you need to patch support for it in (the patch is available from MS)

I keep it on a small memory stick, so every time I come across a old computer I patch it so it can read my other memory sticks.

Oooh , Thanks Mate :)

Good to hear. I haven't had a chance to test it much, but playing TF2 in offline mode with bots allowed me to finally re-enable AA and still maintain a decent fps. With it on, I average 45fps in non-crazy scenes, and with it off I go up to around 55fps.

Still debating which setting I prefer, but I'll leave it on for now. I really thought my GPU would be able to perform better than this, but perhaps there is still some work to be done on the drivers side. One can hope, but I'm content at least.

Has anyone else experienced some tethering issues?

For example: When I am tethered and browsing the internet my connection seems to be at a constant speed however the minute I go to download a file, say for example a song (and by download I mean save the file to my computer) - the speeds drop to zero then slowly go back up for a little bit then drop again.

I never had this issue pre-10.6.5 update so I'm wondering if it could be that.

Anyone else heard of anything like this?

Well, the human eye perceives 60 images per second, but beyond 24, it doesn?t change the quality much.

Take movies for instance, they are 24 fps here in Canada and it doesn?t seem like they?re "lagging".

So IMO, leave it on :p

This is true, but the difference is that movies are at a constant 24 fps, while games running at 24 fps would be fluctuating a lot depending on what's on screen so you'd see stutter when it dips below the 20 fps mark.

And with TF2's absolutely chaotic matches, my frames can sometimes drop from 45+ to 20 in a split second, which can make all the difference in split second timing. Then again, I just don't have enough time to play all the time so in the grand scheme of things I'll just leave it on.

The human eye doesn't see in frames per second, it detects differences (and in testing can detect a difference in like 1/1200th of a second or something)

And there's a huge difference between 24fps (which most of the world uses) and 60fps or more.

Edit: Well the eye isn't really an active system, it's more of a passive system and the brain is involved, but meh.

Agreed, the difference in watching Doctor Who from 24fps and 30fps alone is impressive, as for games, 24 FPS would be virtually unplayable for me. I NEED SMOOOOTH!

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By sphbecker · Posted

      All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
