I think it speaks to the quality of MINIX that Intel ME went as long as it did without an RCE, even when Intel ME was obviously mostly orchestrated by Intel's Engineering team (corporate software is notoriuously shit, and the developers who work in such enterprises often lackluster themselves)

Yet Tannanbaum's core was so good even they managed to keep ring -3 safe for what, a decade?

Are any CS textbooks actually worth reading? The feeling I get from this board is that people here like to make it sound like you can just grok your way through any codebase by opening man pages.

I did go through some math and physics textbooks in college, but only because my instructors assigned specific problem sets from those textbooks, but then again, I always got the feeling that computer programming (as opposed to math) was just something you needed to practice rather than to really gain conceptual understanding on.

Just recently got a mac mini for free from my job. m4 pro chip, 24gb ram, 512gb ssd. Booted it up, set everything up, aaaaand what the fuck:

>don't have a 1500 dollar display directly from apple? don't have the 5k resolution equivalent from dell? wanna get a nice cheap 1440p or even 4k res monitor? no, sorry, not good enough, all your shit is blurry as fuck because we don't support those resolutions.
>want to fix that problem? sure buddy download this software betterdisplay off github. good shit right? we fixed apples mess for you.. that'll be 20 dollars plus tip to use the whole app. also our "Fix" just makes everything scale slightly less blurry, but not actually truly outputting at the proper resolution. plus tip. also when you do this you can't have HDR enabled. You get either slightly less retarded looking text or shit scaling with hdr. your choice faggot
>nice logitech/non mac mouse you got there. we're gonna purposefully fuck the scrolling up so when you scroll once it barely scrolls at all, and when you scroll a bunch all at once it torpedoes you to the bottom of the page. if you had a magic mouse from apple, there's a setting for that specifically, but if you plug anything else in you don't get to see or configure that.
>don't worry there's third party apps for that too! download them.. but they all have 7 day trials and disable themselves unless you pay 20 dollars plus tip.
>wanna upgrade that storage? you don't have the right. should've gotten what you wanted out of the gate, stupid. you literally can't even bring it into an apple store and pay an exorbitant fee to have a cheap ssd thrown in. we just literally don't even do it. go buy an external drive you shit head. fucking moron idiot.

who's fucking allowing this stupid shit? do apple fanboys really fucking shell out this much cash just to make their shit usable? what the actual fuck is this shit?

Yeah it's 1x. Just like on windows and linux lol.

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.

Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

Nearly all linux distros collect no info on their users, unless there is explicit opt-in.
Microsoft collects data on users and requires a sign in without effort to avoid it.

>security
Making this claim proves you know nothing about the subject you’re trying to argue. On any Linux distro you, the user, retain granular control over the attack surface, although the default setup on basically every distro is better than windows. Hardening the OS for security is easy to do if you RTFM and also isn’t required for most use cases.

You can't even use negated terms on something like Baloo. Windows search at least has the decency to allow you to do some advanced shit. It's like file tagging, Dolphin is absolutely barebones to the point it's not worth using the feature, and Windows can be made to add file tagging to anything, but it will slow down to a crawl.

That's a MILF.

I’ve been running Linux Mint for over four years and was happy with it until the recent drama, especially the AI security scan fiasco. It really shook my trust in the maintainers.

I started looking for alternatives, but after testing hundreds of distros, none of them met my expectations for stability and reliability. I began to accept that my system would just break from time to time until I found a thread recommending Windows Seven as a rock-solid alternative.

After researching, it turns out this version is still surprisingly usable. It’s stable, reliable, and with extended updates plus a good firewall, security isn’t a major issue.

Has anyone else tried this? How did it go for you? Personally, I haven’t run into a single problem so far.

what you're refetning to as linux, is in fact, bugs/linux, or as iv'e recently taken to caling it, shit. linux is not an operating system.

many computer users run a modifiesd version of the gnu system avertyday withut realizing it, and they're all gay lolololololololoolol.

thorugh a peculiar tune of eevnets, the verison of gnu which is widely sued today is oftne called "linux," an dmany of its users are not getting laid xDDDDDDDD

there ereally is a linxu, and these people are using it, but it is just shitty looooooooool

linux is the kernel: the perogram in the sytem that allocates the mahcines resources towards crahshing xDDDDD

the kernel is an esential part of an aperating styem, but useless by itself. it's also uselees when it's not by itself because linux sucks amirite.

linux is normally used in comibnation with no drivers, becaue linux has no drivers. (amirite guiz)

all the so-callled "linxu" distributions are really bad

Oh, really? I’m so sorry that a massive, multi-decade engineering feat like the .NET Framework isn't "complete" enough for your obviously superior, high-level needs. I guess thousands of engineers at Microsoft have just been sitting around playing Minesweeper since 2002 while you’ve been out here bravely fighting the "wrong" documentation.
Actually, you’re completely wrong, because if .NET were "incomplete," then why is the .exe file called an "executable"? It executes things, doesn't it? If it can execute, it’s finished. Case closed. Plus, have you even considered that Win32 is old? Why would you want to use something old when you can use something newer? New is always better, even if it doesn't do the specific thing you want it to do. That’s just basic logic.
And "woefully incomplete"? Please. I managed to write a Console app that says "Hello World" in like three lines of code without a single P/Invoke. If it can do that, it can clearly do anything. Maybe the reason the standard library is "wrong" is because you're just looking at it wrong? Did you ever think of that? Maybe you're the one who’s "woefully incomplete."
But sure, go ahead. Waste your life typing out
 [DllImport("user32.dll")] 
for the five-thousandth time like it’s 1995. I hope you enjoy your memory leaks and your "precision." Some of us prefer to live in 2025, where we don't care if the code actually works as long as the syntax highlighting looks pretty.

>Microsoft plans to rewrite 100% of their code base in Rust using AI
That has been officially claimed false.
Their "1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code" target is just part of a research project they are working on. The goal is to build technology that *could* facilitate such a massive migration, not to execute it immediately on Windows.
Microsoft is already "all-in" on Rust for new security-critical projects. In 2025, developers have already noted Rust code appearing in the Windows kernel (e.g., win32kbase_rs.sys) and Azure components like Hyper-V.

Quite frankly this whole thread is based on the wrong premise that Linux user space keeps breaking the ABI. This is not true at all: most libraries including glibc, OpenGL, X11, care a lot about binary backward compatibility nowadays.

I don't think that assembling the PC for 40 minutes vs 30 matters that much. You do it ones in a few years. Air circulation is pretty much the same in good cases. Cost and compatibility are still an issue. But it's only because 'standart' PC is a giant box.
>>
>>107681162
It's not about how much time it takes. There's cable routing, the order of assembly which instructions can lack (often because it varies depending on your parts), and fitting your hands into cramped spaces. There's a huge difference between a case with positive pressure and pure exhaust, as well as the actual airflow pattern, recirculation, acoustics, etc. Unless you're talking about standard layout mATX cases in which case it's also just a giant box, only PSU placement differs, although that can still make a big difference.

The only thing that I want to work that doesn't is SDR#. It's by far the best SDR software. I've made incremental progress getting it to work first with really old versions on Wine then more recently a newer one with Proton but the latest builds using dotnet 8 and 9 are a no go. I have found that SDR++ basically clones it's UI and has a few features I appreciate that SDR# is missing. That has helped but SDR# still has the best community making plugins etc for it so it's the gold standard and trying to run it with proton can be a little bit janky and frustrating sometimes depending on my luck.
