  • Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining

    Jump

  • The only thing I value in Windows 10 or 11 over 7 is better multi monitor support, and even that is not a giant issue. It's faster, uses less resources, is better organized, and looks nicer, especially nicer than 10 that looks like a lazy highschool kid spent all of a day on it.

  • Microsoft's latest Windows update breaks VPNs, and there's no fix

    Jump

  • My workplace requires VPN for Web sites that are authenticated, require 2FA and are encrypted. It's infuriatingly stupid. I feel like someone higher up got sold a useless contract by a good VPN salesperson.

  • Im not familiar with Medium, but I don't recall the other things I've read there being vapid crap.

  • True Story

    Jump

  • Yeah, I use that all the time. I think I use it in a different way though. I have projects with C, C++ and other languages. The C and C++ get compiled and linked together, and so there are some considerations for those files that don't apply to anything else. So I mean C files and C++ files, but not as if they were the same language.

  • I guess that's the joke, and I think we're all confused because it's wrong.

  • I did this in a project and someone later came and changed them all to .h, because that was "the convention" and because "any C is valid C++". Obviously neither of those things is true and I am constantly befuddled by people's use of the word convention to mean "something some people do". It didn't seem worth the argument though.

  • The biggest hand calculation in a century! [π Day 2024]

    Jump

  • Although there are measurement techniques that do appropriate pi, that's done mostly because it's interesting. Typically one calculates pi, not measures it. The calculation can't ever be completed but the more you do, the better your approximation. One method is this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_%CF%80

    That sort of stuff is done a lot. However, you don't need all that many digits before adding more digits doesn't meaningfully affect calculations. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/news/2016/3/16/how-many-decimals-of-pi-do-we-really-need/

  • Obesity has become the most common form of malnutrition in the majority of countries

  • Lobbyists have even polluted the ingredient label on the back. Now they can list a brand name as an ingredient, then list the ingredients of that. This lets them disguise the most prevalent ingredients if they're also part of the brand.

    Water, oil, sugar, xantham gum, Bob's secret spice (enough sugar so that if the label were truthful, sugar would be the second ingredient instead of the third, cinnamon, nutmeg).

  • Computer monitors seem like one of the few options at this point.

  • And you're claiming that people can't expect to use it for free, because they need to pay those costs, which is nonsense. If they have enough to pay a CEO $300k in cash each year in addition to stock options, they are making plenty to cover their operating costs. Thus there's no reason users, who are already brining value to the platform, should pay more in addition to the value they bring. Asking for people to contribute for free and then pay to access what they've built is a crazy business strategy that's bound to fail.

  • It's not free. Moderators spend their time keeping things sensible and users spend their time creating content, by posting, commenting and voting. Millions of people contribute tiny amounts, giving the community great value. They're the reason the site has any value at all. In comparison, the operating costs, and whatever work the company execs perform, are small compared to the not-at-all free work people in aggregate put into the community.

  • Google Chrome Warning Issued For All Windows Users

    Jump

  • There are small annoying differences. The way it handles downloads is irritating. The settings menus are not well organized. There's a big stupid Bing button unless you remove it. It randomly fails to honor the option to open PDFs in an external program. It's nothing big, but if you're forced to use it for work, it's constantly annoying.

    The Nowar thing is from a GitHub repository and there's probably a newer version. I pick parts from it to run rather than running the entire thing.
