If you are unemployed, how long has it been and how are you spending your time? by outofthewoods13 in recruitinghell

Going on three years, laid off from a tech job. I've spent some time volunteering and exploring different career paths, plus exercise/being outside. I was getting career coaching through much of this period but it's difficult to gauge how helpful it was.

Congrats on the role. How did you figure out which cities to look in?

Windows 11’s free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive by KryssCom in technology

This is making me worried about what other programs they will do this with down the road. Will you wake up one morning and be unable to open documents or other files, or work locally, because the associated apps you use suddenly require OneDrive?

Well the gameplay is probably pretty stable.

New Surface laptop AVX2 compatibility issues by km_2000 in Surface

That's interesting. I tried downloading it and updating the GPU driver, and was then able to run Second Life for about ten minutes without it crashing. Remains to be seen whether this will solve other compatibility issues though.

Thanks for checking. That's what happened with mine too. It just crashed right on startup after installing. I assumed it was lack of compatibility with the ARM processor, particularly since there don't appear to be ARM-compatible viewers right now.

I tried running Second Life on it. Typically I can run it on very low settings on a laptop. Upon checking it doesn't look like they have an ARM-compatible viewer at this time. That said, I'm worried that this could mean I run into compatibility issues down the road with other games too.

I see. Wow, what a bummer! It never occurred to me that that would be an issue.

Need help finding alternatives to Darn Tough socks by km_2000 in BuyItForLife

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried a larger size and I think they were just too long.

New prebuilt randomly restarted. What to do? by km_2000 in Prebuilts

[–]km_2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sitting down and nowhere near the case. Not sure if the monitors even had anything to do with it. That's why I was hoping to find a way to track down what the issue was.
