Microsoft blocks Windows 11 workaround that enabled local accounts
  • exscape exscape Now 80%

    You can still block it easily with the command prompt (Shift+F10 during the install) as mentioned. But don't let that stop you from switching to Linux if you feel like it.

    Are there any cases of such payout actually happening...? I'm not buying it. (Literally and figuratively.)

  • Talking Point: Would You Watch A New Stargate Show? » GateWorld
  • exscape exscape Now 100%

    The main character is frankly unbearable. Super unlikeable, overly emotional (despite being Vulcan)

    What? You're talking about Michael Burnham, no? She's 100% human. She grew up with Vulcans, but that's very different.

  • Men with 'toxic masculinity' are more likely to make sexual advances without consent, study finds
  • exscape exscape Now 96%

    I wouldn't say it's the definition, but I agree this is not surprising.
    Toxic masculinity is much more though. Men bullying men because they do something "not manly" is toxic masculinity. It can be anything from not enjoying sports to showing emotion for any reason (even crying if a family member died).

  • when you upgrade an OS, do you clean install or upgrade?
  • exscape exscape Now 100%

    I don't think I've ever made a "clean upgrade" on Linux. I've done the opposite though, that is, bring an old install over to a new computer.

  • Is RAID1 over USB Reliable?
  • exscape exscape Now 100%

    Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).

  • Steam Deck game library now 29% larger than that of Nintendo Switch

    Because the games that run on the Steam Deck are PC games, no emulation required. It's a joke.

    Ah, that makes more sense. I looked up the original abstract and indeed it looks more like what you'd expect (hard to comprehend for someone that's not in the field).

    Though to clarify (for others reading this) they still did use generative AI to (help?) write the paper, which is only part of why it was withdrawn.

  • Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?
  • exscape exscape Now 100%

    Same here. I switched to DDG last year, but had to go back within two weeks; it was just too annoying.
    Google search results have indeed gotten pretty bad, but I've yet to see anyone surpass them.

  • exscape exscape Now 100%

    The entire abstract is AI. Even without the explicit mention in one sentence, the rest of the text should've been rejected as nonspecific nonsense.

  • Does anyone really need a 1,000 Hz gaming display?
  • exscape exscape Now 100%

    Not obvious at all. Motion blur at high movement speeds makes things unreadable even at 540 Hz, proving that even at 540 Hz there is still plenty of motion blur that the human eye can see.

    If you truly do separate the art from the artist there's no need to defend the artist.
    I sometimes listen to a few black metal albums made by completely insane people, but I'd never defend their actions; quite the opposite.

    ZFS has triple parity support for RAID-Z (basically RAID-5/RAID-6/RAID-7 with better data safety guarantees), so there's that.

    The X370 Taichi was considered one of the best boards of the generation, so I'm pretty sure they improved.

    FWIW I'd bet almost anything this will be as useful as the EmDrive.

    I literally haven't had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.

    I'm not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.

    Subscribing to small (previously unseen by kbin) communities

    How does this work on kbin at the moment? My understanding is that, at least on Lemmy, you should be able to search for a full community name, wait a while, and have it show up and start federating. I've been searching for two communities (in the format name@instance.tld) on kbin since yesterday and it still shows no matches. Both are small (\<20 subscribers) and currently inactive (no new posts in a week). Do I need to wait until there is new content in them?

    Are there still federation issues? (Almost all content missing in some communities)

    So I subscribed to a Lemmy community earlier, and according to the site there are three subscribers to that community here on Kbin, yet content is not showing up here. Original instance: [https://sopuli.xyz/c/progmetal/data\_type/Post/sort/New/page/1](https://sopuli.xyz/c/progmetal/data_type/Post/sort/New/page/1) Lemmy.world: [https://lemmy.world/c/progmetal@sopuli.xyz/data\_type/Post/sort/New/page/1](https://lemmy.world/c/progmetal@sopuli.xyz/data_type/Post/sort/New/page/1) Kbin: [https://kbin.social/m/progmetal@sopuli.xyz/newest](https://kbin.social/m/progmetal@sopuli.xyz/newest) The former two seem identical as far I bothered to check, with 10 posts in the past 20 hours, but Kbin only has one of them (and it's not the oldest *or* the most recent, either, but the second oldest).
