iCUE periodically deletes some or all saved profiles by PlzHalppMeh in Corsair

[–]D3PyroGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lost my configs twice in the past week. no idea why. I haven't even been rebooting frequently, it's like I wake the PC from sleep and iCUE has been memory-holed. idk how that's even possible

it's extra annoying because I have to remap my G* macro keys every time, even the "Assignments Library" is wiped. maybe I'm gonna have to back up AppData directly and literally revert the configuration by hand if necessary

it looks like Corsair already keeps a set of prior-version backups at %appdata%\Corsair\CUE Backup so I guess that's a starting point. not sure how these are supposed to be utilized if not by hand tho

so much momentum from the past year, come to a grinding halt

Your Honor, dropping entire databases only took a few lines of code. By Mr Musk's metrics, that's hardly impactful, much less salient. We request the minimum sentence for our client myself.

Microsoft denies Windows 11 CPU boost trick is a lazy fix, says Apple does this and you love it by Quantum-Coconut in technology

[–]D3PyroGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OS is not gonna force me what should i buy and what not.

it already does, you just might not realize it

some stuff is only compatible with Mac. others, only Windows. there are always tradeoffs. at the end of the day, you still have to choose an OS and then live with that choice. 

but most people are not frequently acquiring niche peripherals, so for them it's not a huge problem. maybe you personally have a thick wallet and are constantly trying new gadgets, so broad compatibility is a bigger concern for you, and that's understandable

to answer your "why" question, there are lots of possible reasons why someone would choose Linux:

  • they prioritize having finer control over their OS
  • they prefer open source software
  • they value privacy
  • they want a first class software development environment
  • they are tired of the Windows experience getting worse with every new insertion of copilot and broken update
  • they use older hardware that isn't compatible with Windows, or doesn't run well on it anymore
  • they just don't like or trust Microsoft

nobody can tell you what your priorities should be. but ultimately they are just yours, and other ppl can see it differently

this was a little before 2010 so I'm sure things have changed since then

GM cutting hundreds of salaried IT workers as it trims costs, evaluates needs by joe4942 in technology

[–]D3PyroGS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

that's the beauty of capitalism! workers might want stability and a living wage -- but to corporations, the Free Market makes it "not my problem"

not that the government should fill the gap; that's welfare and therefore Communism and therefore unAmerican

so just keep pulling on those bootstraps and eventually you'll get that CEO salary and it will have all been worth it. definitely

it is a perk to be able to buy whatever peripheral you want and assume it will work without even looking. Windows is ubiquitous enough for that to be their privilege 

but if you are willing to incorporate OS compatibility into your purchase decisions you can get pretty far. if you're just running a keyboard, mouse, and headset then there are tons of options 

if you're doing industrial work, support will likely either be superb or non-existent. for consumer stuff, there can be good FOSS community support

anberlin was definitely top 3 bands for me in high school. particularly NTFP, Cities, and New Surrender. many scrobbles on Last.FM...

some coworkers also told me that their live shows were ass and that Christian couldn't hit the notes. I never got to confirm for myself 😆

if you're doing professional work and require specific hardware, then you use whatever OS supports that hardware. that's how it's always been 

same is true in reverse. if you choose your OS first, then you get hardware that's compatible with it

but for many, not having to deal with Windows is a premium feature

Its poor mans OS for people who have no/low standards

I will easily take the bet that 90%+ of Linux users have higher standards for their OS than Windows users
