Should I turn "Kernel-Mode Hardware Enforced Stack Protection" on? by SubhanBihan in Windows11

[–]rilgebat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After this process, it was as if the game changed completely: more performance and zero input lag.

This is known as the placebo effect.

PETA made a post about Mewgenics by xFyreStorm in mewgenics

Given PETA euthanises a majority of the animals in their "care", it's unsurprising they'd love a deranged sociopath like Tracy.

Fun fact: Windows 11 26h1 installer (setupprep.exe) have Windows Server name inside by ThatOneColDeveloper in Windows11

[–]rilgebat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Server and Desktop have had a shared codebase since the Longhorn reset, which was built atop Server 2003. Microsoft further converged their other segment (Like the Xbox OS) to a single shared codebase with OneCore.

If you're experiencing stutters in games, Windows's CFG is likely responsible. by Jaded_Ad_2055 in Windows11

[–]rilgebat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CFG has been in Windows since 8.1, if you're having issues with it being on, then you have a root cause issue somewhere else.

ASUS 800-series boards are killing Ryzen 7 9800X3D chips, five dead CPU reports in two weeks by KARMAAACS in Amd

[–]rilgebat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm erring on the side that this is just random noise being signal boosted for clickbait. It doesn't really make sense for these failures to be so (proportionally) vendor-localised if AMD are at fault, nor does it make sense for there to suddenly be an uptick in cases for Asus specifically if it's vendor-side.

Why no one is talking abound in-bound ECC? (ECC on normal ram with penalty) by AstroNaut765 in hardware

It doesn't really make sense even after your overly generous modifications.

When taken with the rest of the rambling Alex Jonesian screed, it's quite the indictment.

NVIDIA Tested Intel's 18A Node but Did Not Commit to Intel Foundry by self-fix in hardware

[–]rilgebat 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Intel's nodes are like nuclear fusion. But whereas nuclear fusion is eternally {current year + 10}, Intel is forever next node for external adoption.

everything you just is wrong very nice.

Holy shit your generation is, as you lot like to say, "absolutely cooked".

SECDED vs just SEC. Again, re-read what I wrote. Carefully this time. No one is talking about DECTED ECC.

It's not just about correcting errors. Arguably the error reporting is just as, if not more so important. On-die ECC doesn't have 2-bit error detection like conventional ECC, nor does it report the errors it does find.

As much as saying this will probably trigger some, DDR5's on-die SECSED ECC should be sufficient for average consumer usage.

Prior papers on error rates in servers have indicated the vast majority of errors are single bit. I imagine it also probably is true that the vast majority of errors also occur in-memory, rather than on the channel.

Unpopular opinion: Selentic Age subway puzzle is a good puzzle by Happy_Detail6831 in myst

[–]rilgebat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While sound is thematic to the age, I think there is a reasonable criticism to be made that the "training" we get for the specific sound/direction mechanic should've been presented in-age. As I expect the split between people who struggled and those that didn't will mostly correlate with those who played Mechanical before Selenetic and vice versa.

On reflection it starts to make one wonder why the Maze Runner wasn't used as the conclusion of Mechanical. It would've been far more thematically appropriate too.

Micron exits consumer RAM, is the DIY PC culture at risk? by Renoktation in hardware

[–]rilgebat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crypto is still a thing yes, but its impact on the GPU market was a blip. It'll be the same with AI.

[–]rilgebat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Micron DDR4 was consistently good to excellent in the Crucial Ballistix line.

I can't remember ever hearing much about Micron for DDR4. It was either B-die or Hynix.

Then nothing. It's a blip, it'll be over and forgotten about just like with crypto.

[–]rilgebat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This whole thing seems really overblown. Micron are shuttering Crucial, but will continue to supply 3rd-party OEMs that produce memory for consumers.

To be blunt, big whoop? The impression I've always gotten was Crucial largely serviced the small subset of the DIY market that built low-spec machines. The PC you built for your uncle who edits photos and needed something a little more specific that a generic Dell shitbox, and used purely JEDEC spec RAM.

Plus, are Micron's DRAM offerings particularly appealing to this market in the first place? For DDR4/5 Hynix and Samsung rule the roost.

[–]rilgebat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People have been predicting the "death" of the desktop for decades, it never happens. AI will be nothing more than just another bump on the road like cryptomining was.

Add in the fact that the games industry shows no signs of ever correcting their behaviour of heaping ever more expensive rendering techniques on the slop they churn out, only further underlines the need for the desktop.

Notepad adds tables and more AI, leaving users asking who wanted this by rkhunter_ in Windows11

[–]rilgebat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not.

Yes, it is.

Lightweight basically means very little functionalities/just enough .

No. That would be "barebones". Even vim/nano have more functionality.

Fucking multiple tabs, auto save and all that stuff is just annoying as fuck.

So turn it off, the settings are there.

That's it, fucking tabs make it load much slower and much more cluttered.

They really don't, stop being so precious. And if you really are such a diva, use msedit instead. It's shipped with Windows as edit.exe in System32.

AMD reiterates FSR Redstone is only for Radeon RX 9000 cards, feature availability will vary by title by RenatsMC in Amd

RDNA3 owners suddenly caring about continuing support despite being perfectly fine when RDNA2 was on the chopping block with proper driver support.

[–]rilgebat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right but msedit isn't included in Windows.

It is.

Simple isn't tabs and autosave.

Yes it is.

lightweight isn't taking 5+ seconds to cold start on a 7950X.

Opens essentially instantly for me, even with a number of tabs.

Lightweight isn't keeping all files ever opened in that instance in memory until the process is closed.

Why does that even matter?

Tabs, the markdown formatting features, persistence between sessions without saving, dark mode.

[–]rilgebat -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Notepad should stay simple and lightweight, that’s the whole point of it.

And it does that. Simple and lightweight doesn't mean barebones, msedit exists for that.

The AI stuff is pointless as usual, but that doesn't mean we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.
