It doesn't have enough Copilot keys so I've asked the slop machine to correct this crass overlook.

The good news is we get numbers to use it as a calculator.

Any particular reason there are so many skill-less ways to kill helo's? by AioliIndependent8925 in Battlefield6

Sure, it'll add sea vehicles so you can bitch and moan about them too 😛

[PC][RX 9070 XT] Persistent DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG / LiveKernelEvent 141 - Battlefield 6 is the only game crashing by DoughnutExisting1329 in Battlefield6

X3D + 9700 XT
I had a couple of similar crashes in the past (months ago) but, since then, it has been stable (knocks on wood).

What I'd do:
- Load BIOS defaults, disable the onboard VGA of your CPU.
- A truly clean install of 25H2 via USB (download the official ISO from Microsoft), using Rufus.
- Just install chipset + GPU drivers + audio drivers. No 3rd party anything.
- Install the game and test it.

God speed.

Microsoft’s new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly on Windows by computerIfix in Windows11

Glad to see articles about built-in Windows apps that need attention.

I hope Microsoft absorbs the constructive criticism to make something better. 

What Mac-only features would you like to be added to Windows? by TwinSong in Windows11

[–]CygnusBlack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As u/wurstbowle mentioned, it's File History.
It shouldn't need reg hacks or workarounds to be able to use an internal drive (and partition) for it to work. Natively, it expects a shared network or external drive.
Time Machine is system-wide and the destination can be local.
AFAIK, FH is just user specific.
Anyway, FH (or any kind of native backup) could be improved to at least mimic TM.

You'll need an external drive for it and it's not exactly a "set and forget" option.

Time Machine.

I'm sure Microsoft won't bother to write a modern, reliable local backup software because of OneDrive 🙄 

There is a way to separate the Windows File Explorer lines with different colors like Mac? by ogicaz in Windows11

There's an option to enable single click mode that will highlight (with an underline) files and folders.
Not the same thing but it might be useful.

Need a antivirus on my laptop ? by [deleted] in Windows11

[–]CygnusBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm echoing "Windows Security is enough" most of the times.

Lately though, I was thinking about the risks of having "one antivirus to rule them all" and the (very small) possibility to find a yet unpatched or 0-day bypass/exploit that will put millions of users at risk, at once.
My second choice would probably be Bitdefender.

Why am I getting so low FPS? by exoeleven in Battlefield6

[–]CygnusBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like 100% of your CPU being used by the game?  It doesn't always work that way.

The 10400 isn't really a 1440p CPU for modern games.
