    Get Ready for "Gamerlicious" Nvidia Control Panel

    I love a good Zarathustra-complains-about-something-newer-than-1990 thread. 10/10 did not disappoint.

    Microsoft Lays Off 1,900 Activision Blizzard And Xbox Employees

    No offense, and I'm not sure this is true, but, your entire post here reads like someone who hasn't used or kept up with what AI is, how it works, or what it's currently capable of.

    Microsoft Lays Off 1,900 Activision Blizzard And Xbox Employees

    From what I've seen internally, successful things are _mostly_ left alone except where there's unfavorable overlap. But MSFT doesn't just view any role as being able to slot into another org/team/subsidiary and execute as well. Things at the VP/sVP/C level, and Finance often seem to be where...

    An Important Update about Riot’s Future

    What's the purpose in pontificating about your lack of gaming on modern games, in a thread about layoffs? I don't think most people care which games you ignore or whatever.

    Twitch streaming lays off 500 staffers

    Or you know, folks could learn that individuals have different preferences and that consent is situational (and revocable). Nah, gotta pick out the biggest brush possible instead :)

    Vizio settles for $3M after saying 60 Hz TVs had 120 Hz “effective refresh rate” , get your $17!

    I read it as a sarcastic thing, hence my reply :) But yeah, that's how... lawsuits work. If some class wants it for other states or national, it'd need filed to do that.

    Vizio settles for $3M after saying 60 Hz TVs had 120 Hz “effective refresh rate” , get your $17!

    What does "Only in California" even mean here? lol LG settled with the class' counsel. Maybe keep your misguided soapboxing in soapbox? I do agree that $17-$50 is stupid low. Class actions being what they are here, I'm not surprised though. It should be a % of their revenue from those models...

    Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th

    You don't "operate" any of that. It's all internal to the app... there's no more complexity in it than opening the app (or in my case, having the docker container run). It's plug and play, just like Kodi.

    Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th

    I stopped my Prime subscription in 2020, and haven't really missed it much since. There's definitely been times where I've thought about going back to it, but, these moves by Amazon just truly cement my position. I won't personally advocate for piracy, but I absolutely see the appeal for it. I...

    I just don't understand the attitude, and frankly, it's not helpful at all anyway. Why be on forums if you're gonna act like that?

    I never understood this line of thinking. Just because someone works in IT, doesn't mean they know everything about every licensing system from everyone, all the time.

    Adobe Standard, weird issue with requesting signatures

    This is definitely about the level of OpSec I expect from a bank though, not gonna lie. Go on a huge forum asking for basic help and blasting a user's email address in the clear. Amazing.

    Is it possible to view the history of a drive's activity in windows

    If you didn't have object auditing enabled (you probably didn't, it's not by default and the logs get huge), about your only recourse would be to see if the drive is starting to fail. If it's healthy, that means you deleted the folder/files, most likely.

    Cat6 bulk for wiring a house

    Expense, yeah a bit. Hassle? Not really. It's easier to pull fiber than copper. You don't have to run fiber to every end device. In fact I wouldn't - I'd just do fiber for the structured wiring, then whatever is best application for the end device from there. I put these in each room to...

    SAP Concur Authenticator App? How to avoid using my phone?

    Thing of it is, for sites that don't support yubikey etc., you already have something doing the TOTP for you. So the complaints about wah wah I don't want an app are very child throwing a tantrum-esque. I've not been at a company that pushes the app to me - they say "hey we need TOTP, use...

    Cat6 bulk for wiring a house

    Structured wiring has nothing to with what your ISP is bringing in. Your main switch will have SFP+ and RJ45 ports. Use the SFP+s to run drops (OM3 or OM4, LC-LC) to each room/area in the house, and either drop them into wall plates, or switches there.That'll carry you clear up to 100G, which...

    Windows Server Environment where I work.

    Ok, if ALL you do is map printers, get rid of Windows DCs. You don't need them. But then your follow up mentions group policies, so, your OP didn't really say what you're using things for. Getting snarky is a great way to not get help.

    Windows Server Environment where I work.

    You didn't really say why you have MS servers / DCs at this point... so a rather blunt suggestion would be to look into Azure Entra ID.

    Frequent internet 'hangs' or becomes unresponsive

    I cannot find anything in normal settings or About:Config. If you can post a screenshot or at least an article where to find it, that'd be helpful so I can ensure it's disabled.

    What? You got a link or proof that this happens? I haven't heard that and did some searching for it, and the only thing that pops up are all the mining _blockers_ that FF has built in.

    Changing Windows Boot Manager descriptive name (not loader.)

    I always get a chuckle out of things folks decide to obfuscate in screenshots. Makes no sense to do so in a lot of cases :ROFLMAO: I am genuinely curious why you wouldn't just use the service that's designed for exactly this purpose though.

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy threatens employees to return to office or "things are probably not going to work out for you"

    Milk-V Unveils World’s First RISC-V Open Source 10G Ethernet Switch

    Did you miss the part where it's open source, so you'd clearly be able to find these backdoors (assuming you can understand the language)? Despite your long winded defense of someone else's post, it is xenophobia by definition. I'm not sure why someone would suggest TrendNET is any...

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy threatens employees to return to office or "things are probably not going to work out for you"

    Current employer is fully WFH. We are actually closing pretty much all of our offices around the world. We've been "remote first" mentality since inception, and built our tooling, expectations, and workflows around that. Other places that are trying to do the exact same thing they did in office...

    Milk-V Unveils World’s First RISC-V Open Source 10G Ethernet Switch

    Guessing you haven't touched a modern managed switch in awhile? The only thing that's odd is the ACL stuff - otherwise, it's got really good feature set. The xenophobia need not apply - keep that in your safe space in the soapbox please.

    Milk-V Unveils World’s First RISC-V Open Source 10G Ethernet Switch

    Only 2x10Gbps ports. It's pricing will have to be very appealing even for homelab use, where there's ample affordable choices with more (and even up to 40Gbps) connectivity. Neat product, but other than being RISC-V (not really a benefit in switching) and "open source" (skimmed the announcement...

    Password manager

    not getting 10Gb/s and totally perplexed.

    You don't need jumbo frames for 10Gbps. I can routinely saturate my 40Gbps setup with iperf3, without jumbo frames. You have something else going on. I've only skimmed the thread but I don't see where you say what NIC or switch you're using other than "most of..." which isn't helpful...

    ext4, RAID, and data recovery

    ZFS still wipes the floor with BTRFS. BTRFS is trying to get close to feature parity, but, it's not there yet and has quite a way to go... the community around it is shrinking a bit, too, unfortunately. ZFS's is larger and older, and more active. ZFS has data dedupe and compression, and has for...
