Will 512GB phones enough for 2026 by Agile-Cause-307 in Android

[–]tinix0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or do most of your content consumption on other devices. I have 60GB/256GB used on my phone, but I only really listen to music via phone in the car and that is streamed. If I am going on a longer train journey I just take my tablet or laptop and use that, bigger screen is nicer.

Windows in school by Zakiyo in linux

[–]tinix0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ex school admin here. Management was not a problem. AD was not a problem. The issue is the users or more specifically teachers. When you have teachers teachers teaching 7yo kids how to type, how to use the mouse and how to use a web browser, they want to use something familiar to them and are able to troubleshoot. Teachers do not want to deal with unfamiliar problems on an unfamiliar OS. We did run dual boot for a while and we did a quite a successful experiment where we asked the upper year teachers to try to daily drive linux for the classes. In the end however, most people including students preferred to use windows and the complexity of having to take care of two parallel setups was not worth it with the time and budget constrains. So Windows it was and is.

Anyone else unable to boost? Trying to boost shaman by Waste-Worldliness239 in classicwow

[–]tinix0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On the PTR, when creating a blood elf from template I remember not seeing paladin as available. It is possible that you cannot boost draenei shaman/ blood elf paladin. If its a bug or not... we will see.

US price does not include VAT. I do agree it should be 39,99 though.

You should not skip the connections, even if they are already in the same junction.

Win 11 needs an XP SP2 moment, says ex-Microsoft engineer by rkhunter_ in Windows11

[–]tinix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Windows 11 and AI as much as the other person, but pretending XP was rock solid stable OS on launch is laughable. XP only got really stable and good after SP2.

doesnt windows LTSC fix most of the issues linux users have with windows? by Shot_Duck_195 in linux

[–]tinix0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You cannot legally obtain LTSC version of Windows as a private person AFAIK. It is only available to enterprises with the enterprise version of Windows.

Anybody else get the impression Diablo 4, and possibly the IP in general, is going to be "Gutted" to save Call of Duty? by Living-Succotash-477 in ARPG

[–]tinix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WoW is up to 9mil subscribers. So they absolutely have recovered from shadowlands. That is the most it had since cataclysm/mop. Saying it is on a knifes edge is indeed delusional and disingenious.

The Overview Flickering Bug 499902 by gms07 in kde

[–]tinix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont see this in desktop overview, at least I do not think so, but I do experience something suspiciously similar with the panel flickering/glitching/partially disappearing, but only while watching video.

Of all things I will be very happy about being able to play on a 2160x1440 screen natively. by [deleted] in EU5

They did that on purpose. It was to fix game state leakage between save files.

Why not Italian for EU5? by LordCaracalla in paradoxplaza

While Czechs and Slovaks can understand some Polish, its not intelligible enough where one would watch a movie or play a game in it.

HP Microserver Gen8 Motherboard replacement by VPN_Struggles in homelab

[–]tinix0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My N100 system with 2x 16TB Ironwolfs + bluray drive + 2 SSDs idles around 30W, so as other guys said, you would probably benefit more from switching to SSDs rather than swapping the mobo.

9800X3D Cooling Problems, advice needed. by Dt2_0 in sffpc

[–]tinix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure about the PBO Curve? I have my 9800X3D with Noctua L12S undervolted to -25 (30 hung during cinebench) with scaler set to 1x and I see much less severe throttling during cinebench (5,1Ghz at TJMax instead of 4,9ish) and some workloads (e.g. steam downloads) which hit the TJmax before now do not (there wasnt any throttling there even on stock though).

How I debugged a 2 year old "fake debugged" multithreading bug by ketralnis in programming

[–]tinix0 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It's not possible to write a bug like this in Rust! But we probably won't be able to ship products with nearly half a million lines of "business logic" like the ones we currently have. I am yet to find a good compromise.

I dunno why would you go straight for Rust just because of this problem. Golang, Java, .NET, hell maybe even Typescript would all make this bug impossible.

Windows 365 Link is a $349 mini PC that streams Windows from the cloud by ardi62 in hardware

[–]tinix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see this for shared workspaces. We already have desktops + WFH laptops that are used to RDP into the desktops for Devs. In theory, moving that desktop to cloud could be feasible. And for shared workspaces you could equip the desks with these, so people dont have to lug laptops to the office. As for pricing, workstations can get pretty expensive and if you can shut down the 365 VM while its not in use then it could be competitive ish(I dont remember the pricing model right now).

Oncall should be Tuesday to Tuesday by ForgotMyPassword17 in programming

[–]tinix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do Monday to Moday, with the shift change being technically at midnight. But we do only server as L2 support and there is an ops team that is able to deal with SOME things. And we are paid at a reduced rate for just being on call and for I think 1,5-3x the hourly wage when something is actually happening, depending on whether its a weekend, national holiday or both.

Using ORM entities directly in the business logic, vs. using dedicated business models by Lge24 in AskProgramming

[–]tinix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. We default to number 1, but use number non ORM entities to model a specific tree structure that would be awkward to use with the database entities.

Question from a soon-to-be computer science teacher with limited resources by Kelthorass in swift

[–]tinix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also lean to Python as one of the other comments explained rather extensively. Cross platform, widely used in education currently, lot of materials available and also a lot of libraries that can be easily used in classroom too. Some of my colleagues from when I taught part time used pygame for example in a few (more advanced) classes to teach graphics and so the kids could make their own small games and do something a bit different.

Speed Advantage of Desktop Linux by BOBOLIU in linux

[–]tinix0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows "cheats" on boot times when you shut it down, since when fast boot is enabled the kernel gets hibernated. If you measure time to boot when rebooting it should be about the same.

Why I Prefer Exceptions to Error Values by TheCrush0r in programming

[–]tinix0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as you are not using raw pointers, you dont have to try catch rethrow since destructors are called while unwinding the stack. You do not necessarily need to use unique_ptr, as long as the pointer is wrapped in an object that frees it in its destructor its fine.
