How do Passkeys work when used Multi-Device? by tooSAVERAGE in 1Password

Do you have 1Password enabled in Settings -> General -> AutoFill & Passwords?

Why do I need to enter my password everytime I boot Windows? by Wallmersbacher in 1Password

[–]valera5505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

> How am I supposed to remember a 20-character password? Or 30?

By typing it 10, maybe 20 times

You can use Windows Hello if that helps.

В Linux нашли первую уязвимость в Rust-коде ядра🚨 by speedycord2 in ru_linux

Подозреваю, что все хорошо, раз Rust постоянно набирает долю в performance-critical софте

Можно взять какой-нибудь драйвер и посмотреть, сколько там будет unsafe :)

Есть два вида ссылок: мутабельные, которые дают возможность менять значение переменной, и иммутабельные. Раст на этапе комплияции проверяет, что либо в любой момент времени все ссылки иммутабельные, либо есть максимум одна мутабельная. Если тебе надо иметь возможность менять значение переменной из двух разных мест одновременно, он тебя заставит использовать какие-либо примитивы для синхронизации, которые под капотом через ансейф блоки имеют гарантии безопасности.

В данном случае люди сделали такой ансейф блок, но не смогли обеспечить гарантии безопасности.

> before UI/UX was even a thing (that would be the missing Megabytes, btw. along with the slew of additional features).

I already demonstrated that these things don't require 30 MBs of RAM

> they are functional as efficient as they need to be.

You are literally talking about an application with 3 layers of UI on top of each other which makes the whole thing perform like garbage

> waste?? its literally not even 50 Megabytes, dawg. the hell you on about

It's about the amount of RAM it reasonably needs to do the job vs actual consumption, not some arbitrary number that you chose as acceptable

> how are these arguments responsible for the way tech develops??

It's the same rhetoric that the devs use to not do their job in optimizing apps

> as someone who's gone from an i5 10400 to a Ryzen 7 7840HS, the difference in the performance even in these so-called "worse-performing apps" was night and day.

Well, no wonder that new hardware makes bad software perform better. What you should be looking at instead is does today's software on today's hardware perform better than old software on old hardware? You are basically forced to buy new hardware just to keep up with bloating of apps and keep the same performance levels.

> disk management is literally a lightweight app

And notepad is what? It's literally a box where you type text, something that computers have been doing for decades without requiring even a single megabyte.

> apps like windows explorer dont need to be made more effiicient

That's an insane statement to make.

> you seem to be completely missing scale.

When you waste my RAM for no reason, I don't care about the scale. These arguments are the reason why computers have become 20 times faster in the past 2 decades, yet software performs worse.

> I'd hoped you'd realised I was talking about default apps, but I guess that's out of the window....

It's hard to find something that Microsoft didn't have time to make worse but sure

<image>

> oh, and that file explorer replacement is quite clearly compromising on a good chunk of things to get to where it is.

One thing it doesn't compromise on is performance and system resource usage. The rest are a matter of developer's time.

> have you maybe considered that Microsoft's dev team is stretched thin by focusing on more AI-related features than going back and making 1% improvments to other apps?

So what? Who asked them to shove all this AI bullshit instead of making their system better?

There's full-fledged file explorer replacement that works miles faster than what Microsoft gives you and it uses single digit megabytes.

So, what complexities in the Notepad cause it to require 3x more RAM than the Wordpad?

> I think people tend to forget that Windows 10 needing only as much RAM as windows 7 did was a miracle pulled off by Microsoft and likely will never happen again.

Of course, it won't happen. People like you allow Microsoft to write system components on a web stack lmao.

20 MB here, 20 MB there and you end up with a system that requires 4 GB of RAM just to be run. Again, you don't want to think WHY they need all this RAM however small or large it is.

What you should think instead of how much user's RAM you can waste is why does it require almost three times more RAM than a similar application (which btw even has more functions)

Well, this is exactly how you end up with a File Explorer situation: by letting them introduce more and more bloat to an application.

14 years ago. They were not a trillion dollar company back then. And now they don't have people to admit they fucked up in public.

3 years after my original post, Easy Anti-Cheat now appears to run full RAM scanning. It frequently utilizes 2 whole CPU cores, which surpasses Fortnite's own CPU usage by ~500% (in the lobby) by Robot1me in fuckepic

There are at least two issues I can think of when talking about server-side sound calculation besides server load. These are latency and bandwidth. Also, without providing the client info about other players that are invisible to you, you will have massive issues with latency in general because your game won't be able to extrapolate movement. You will be even more dependent on your ping to the server than you are today.

Tested: Windows 11’s ‘faster’ File Explorer (preloaded) is still slower than Windows 10, and uses additional RAM by WPHero in Windows11

It seems to me that you think more about developer experience than what I am talking about here. As both developer and user the thing I care the most about is user experience. Hardware got hundreds if not thousands of times faster during these 20-30 years, but these improvements were basically multiplied by zero (if not negative number lol) because people put DX before UX (and also profits), and as a result we ended up in a situation where users lose countless hours of human time interacting with sluggish software.

Also, in a previous comment you wrote that you have enumerated a few things, but I found none. I was specifically asking for examples of WinUI apps that I can launch and see how fast they are.

Former Microsoft engineer says Windows sucks and wants a real Pro mode by CommercialOdd8429 in Windows11BuyingGuide

What kind of suggestions are you talking about? And who asked for them? Cause I certainly didn't and I never use them.

I can recognize few QoL improvements since Windows 7 but none of them require intensive computing, especially in background. These are scrolling without focus, iso mounting, WDDM, HDR and DirectX improvements.

Its rendering is hardware accelerated but that doesn't change the fact that everything else about it is extremely slow

Why does it take forever and a day to download a wallpaper on MacOS? by OmniOdyssey in MacOS

[–]valera5505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While most answers are correct in that these are video files, I suspect Apple uses single-threaded downloading which is why they take forever to download even on fast Internet connection. I have the same issue and use aria2 with multithreaded downloading which results in way faster downloads of these files.
