How long before NVIDIA doest not support the hardware on their latest OS, even not compiling a kernel fot it.? 1 or 2 years before throwing the box in the garbage bin ? My last Nano purchase lasted 18 months. never, ever buying NVIDIA CPU stuff anymore. these things often run very old linux kernels. please, never. ever use ARM a a desktop OS. it is terrible for long term support.
My first driving lessons I was put in the driver seat with cars left and right on a busy, very small road. I never drove anything else than a bicycle. The instructor gave me 2 minutes instruction how the three pedals and gear worked. Within 50 meters I knew how to drive, the non,-automatic car... Just don't hit anyone...
That besides, windows 12 be a free install but internet access will only be enabled to windows.com to install and activate for outbound security reasons. Beyond that you need to buy the additional internet bundle from Microsoft store for US$ 100 per month....
Not possible to wipe c drive because I am on Linux and also because MCP has now oauth2 support. But Oh. Wait, oauth2 it's optional. Oh wait x 2, MCP has all my NEVER EXPIRING ACCESS tokens... Oh wait, how are those protected from abuse ? Oh wait, even MCP oauth2 implementation is under scrutiny being both a resource and authority server. Oh. Wait authorization is very complex. Never mind, just WAIT until they figure this out with a new specification
If only his party had done anything in the past 8 years about the exterme high house prices and extreme low salaries for the people in Taiwan including those building the AI products, the speech would have some credit, but is all floating on hype. Now that the opposition has a majority again the left wing protests in Taiwan organized by their "professional protestor" backing groups are back on the streets again to block the opposition. 8 years hardly any protest due their majority where they could push anything through even gay marriage (personally pro for it) but that was rejected by the majority of the population in a referendum. Democracy ?
In past history there were some people with bad intentions to attack enterprises, called hackers. Now enterprises have included bad intentions into their business plans and products to attack the people.
Sadly. For the world. Computing has, in many regards, failed to help people and humanity due to the behavior of a few evil, very large companies, that monopolize the world.
It should be called startbrowser instead of startbutton. but a browser where you cannot find apps wyou need. And then pinning something to the taskbar .. those pins often disappear as well. So neither works. W11 is a pin in the .... W11 is the marketing gimmick of windows history. ... 1. TPM security, 2. copilot, 3. Advertstart button..
To make sure applcation developed a long time ago still installs and runs on later versions, including insider preview builds. Not everyone likes to put their perfectly fine PC at the landfill and be forced to spend money just to run windows. Not like every developer has buckets of space and money to replace hardware when microsoft dictates it.
Happily using Evolution for a decade. Supports oauth . Imports pst fine from the latest office. My mail sources are on google, hotmail, my own webhost and pst's from the long past and forgotten windows/outook era. Everything in the end goes to the local folders/drives leaving nothing in the cloud. I keep and own my own stuff, the cloud is just a temporary storage and exchanger service , thats how it should be. :-). Not sure why there is not more love for Evolution. Rich formatted editing could have huge improvents example though ,example the nasty reformatting and >>>> for replies.
In current operating systems it is too cumbersome to switch between modes, like browsing, gaming and what is in between. Power profiles are vey simplified. They should include which devices should be excempted and which can be switched off. There are huge savings possible but os, cpu and expansion cards vendor believe power is endless and are far from providing easy to change power settings. Probably 90% of users in corporate or home settings use much more cores and power they really need. Even when improvements will cone due to installed base it bay need decaded to finally get savings. Without regulation probably nothing will change.
Is it a coincidince that this Sam works for Amazon ? A dinosaur company with huge stakes in IoT and smart home, trying to crush small companies that cannot afford millions for secuity ?. Perhaps Amazon wants their product by an easy take over after their declaration of bankruptcy ?Perhaps the register can elaborate on this ?
