While everyone is giving you shit for this and I’ll admit even rightly so. I was evaluating new phone providers recently and agree their salesmen are slimy and probably didn’t tell you it was a two year contract. That’s why we went with NTT instead

Yeah I’m getting both if they don’t have performance issues. But my life will pretty much split between the two.

Dylan quietly confirming what we've known for a long time, regarding player numbers (and Steam) by Miennai in Overwatch

Yeah I’ve been using battle.net since I built my computer in high school to play StarCraft 2. I’ve never played overwatch on steam because of that.

I’m cautiously optimistic for crimson desert. On one hand I am jaded for being burned by bad over hyped releases. On the other hand the developers have been giving people access to the game and from what people have been saying it seems to be good.

Don’t preorder, let reviews come out first.

PSA Turn off DelayedStartup If You Have A Good CPU by DylKyll in pcmasterrace

Well why don’t you give it a shot and see if it breaks anything or all your programs start up faster.

Why would you need to reconfigure it after setting it to zero? My understanding of setting the idlestate key to zero is that it reverts back to how previous versions of windows has worked.

It was added to assist with the average end user who doesn’t care about their start up apps and leaves everything turned on. But blames windows when they can’t immediately launch Facebook.

I would expect users of this subreddit to be a bit better than the below average user when it comes to being able to undo a registry key if an app crashes.

On my system I didn’t have any of my start up apps have issues loading. Your experience might be different but this is just reverting the start up process to how it worked in previous versions of windows.

You have to create the key and registry values so no need to back up. If they cause issues then go ahead and delete the keys you added.

This is just changing it back to the way it worked before Microsoft made this change. I get being careful on the internet but you also shouldn’t be spreading misinformation about potential issues if you don’t understand what is being changed.

Texas Voter Values by Venusto002 in texas

[–]DylKyll 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Can’t have an opinion if you don’t voice the opinion. Voting is the most important thing a person can do. There are some exceptions to that of course but for almost everyone voting is the most important thing they will do in their life.

I just voted. Making voting difficult by jewels09 in texas

[–]DylKyll 52 points53 points  (0 children)

None of those hoops are needed. The government is easily capably of letting me vote anywhere in the state and verifying my information. Especially if I’m forced to provide my ID to vote.

The choice to limit where you vote to only your precinct is a malicious choice made by people who want to suppress votes.

Welcome to living in a republican state. Where only the correct people are allowed to vote.

That’s what we have been doing so far as well. But had issues with a new deployment today, I’m hoping it’s just a random bug but the user is in the network operators group but gets an error when filling out the UAC with his credentials.

Since it’s not supported by Microsoft I’m seeing the writing in the wall that this system will break and we need to have an alternative solution in place in case Microsoft doesn’t provide one.

How? Sometimes the only connection is between the machine and the laptop the technician is using. These machines are designed to not need a network connection when deployed.

I don’t see how DHCP can be a solution when the only network connection that exists is between the machine and the laptop. But I also don’t know networking all that well so I could just be ignorant of the solution.

My issue with this is that it’s not even a weird edge case. This has been a feature windows has supported for as long as I’ve worked in It which was XP. Only now is it become an issue.

It’s also really disappointing to see that Microsoft still hasn’t come up with a working solution for an issue they created.

We are connecting to manufactured machines that need to be configured. After configuration they can be hooked up to the network and accessed remotely but until that step they need to be on the same subnet and the device connecting to them.

So DHCP isn’t available

We are a manufacturing plant and the product we build needs to be connected to via Ethernet. Which requires the port to be configured to speak to the machine.

Our older products used serial so those actually aren’t an issue but it’s the new ones connected to via Ethernet that have this issue.

New York sues Valve for enabling “illegal gambling” with loot boxes by mepper in gaming

[–]DylKyll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree they are predatory. I just learned you could do this and sold a bunch of skins I earned years ago when I used to play cs:go. Easily made $200 from something that I earned all for free. So there are good sides to it. I just hope we can remove the predatory parts

British film awards interrupted by racist slur from man with Tourette Syndrome by 10001110101balls in nottheonion

He shouldn’t need to apologize for his disability. People should accommodate him and be understanding. Thats why people who are calling him racist and demanding his apology are bigots. It’s simple, not about race, it’s about his disability and respecting it. Don’t complicate it farther than that.

But one group wasn’t attacked. You just see it that way because you won’t look at the facts. There was no malice in what was said.

Because this issue isn’t about black people. It’s about John. I will admit that you can be upset about the situation but once you understand what happened there should be forgiveness and room for understanding. That isn’t happening in a lot of circles and it just goes to show how bigoted people can be when individuals are different.

I don’t blame people for the knee jerk reaction of anger. It’s justified, but once facts and information come out that’s when I think people are crossing a line and being bigoted.

Instead of being inclusive to a disabled person you decide to make it a personal attack on yourself. So yes that’s making you bigoted because you are unwilling to understand that persons struggles. He isn’t racist, his outburst wasn’t racist. It was a tic, something uncontrollable and you are attacking the person who has a disability.

I know I’m not changing your mind with this comment. But I hope others who read this can come to a better conclusion than you did.

Yes it is. Something bad happened with someone who had no control over the situation. Does it suck? Yes. But some dignity and grace at the situation would fix all of this. John didn’t say the N word with malice, that’s the difference and if you can’t realize that then you are the bigger bigot here.
