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!

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By madhopsman · Posted

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
