Thanks Windows
>>107691488>waah you're a poor, brown and a tranny incelCompelling argument, retard. Go ahead list them. It's all pajeetware bullshit Windows could do without, because it did. >>107691553Yes they would I've used every major Windows version since 3.11.7 is snappy running from a period correct 7200 RPM HDD.
>>107690681It's not just windows. Chrome does that too, scans whole drive every single day trashing the drive and uploads log to jeet mothership.
>>107691619>Yes they would I've used every major Windows version since 3.11.You have to be over 18 to post here.>7 is snappy running from a period correct 7200 RPM HDD.No it's not. With a 7200rpm drive they will, at best, manage to boot up on a fresh new install. If you use any modern application or even just an antivirus, they will slow down to a barely useable crawl. One of the first things we used to do when servicing Windows 7 machines was to change the boot drive to an SSD, fortunately they all use at most 500GB HDDs inside so it's easy to just do an image copy to a same size SSD, then run from that and have everything be 1000x faster.Shit, I have an old Turion laptop somewhere that took ten minutes to boot Win7 from a HDD, then I swapped one of my old spares in and now it's snappy as Speedy Gonzalez, I mean as long as you don't do anything that would require CPU calculations or use more than 2GB of RAM (so basically one browser tab only).
>>107690459Windows 10 1703 was the last version that worked somewhat fine with HDDs.

>>107691507>what exactly does the 'optimize drives/disks'just leave it be unless you have spinning rust you need to defragthere are very few reasons for screwing around with TRIM (garbage collection) in windows for mortal /users/one simple example of why you might want to disable TRIM is if you're realtime recording a stream of time-domain sensitive data, e.g. the image output of an X-ray flouroscope aimed at a human heart while you thread a stent into it because maybe you don't want to have any.fukken.thing.go.wrong with that datastream at that moment.you can change Windows trim behavior with "fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify NTFS" and then 0 to disable or 1 to enable>modern SSDs perform TRIM on their ownyep, the drive should TRIM itself *when its not busy or needs to*, if not it's shit firmware, but it's better for the OS to tell it to TRIM on schedule because the drive firmware may wait a long time to TRIM and thus the firmware TRIM operation will steal some IOPS for longer as there are more garbage blocks to collect.>or something like that IDK
>>107681309im relegating my old laptop to retro games and i want to put windows 7 on it, its a hp 15 with a ryzen 3250u, how is driver support and where can i get the drivers?
>>107691993Thanks for explaining.>just leave it be unless you have spinning rust you need to defragYou mean if I need to do it manually? I actually still run a 1TB spinning rust drive to store a few shows. It's usually left half full at most since I migrate and back up any that I enjoyed to externals.
>>107692012Best you can get is using SDIO and hoping it finds drivers for you.Make sure to use something like Windows 7 Updated v5 to have built in NVMe and USB3 drivers.
>>107692228>if I need to do it manuallyyes but it's safe to just schedule it and forget about it unless you have some specific need to defragall of this automated disk maintenance is pretty old hat for windows and seems to be one of the things they didn't fuck up with W11
Which audio codec and bitrate settings do you prefer to listen to your music?
>>107692042thanks, ill read more into it later. but in your experience/opinion, would i get a better quality opus@128 than a mp3@320?ive never encoded it on my machine, my experience with opus is from youtube music, and god knows where or how they get or encode that. everything is on flac/ape. i recently download some mp3@320 and i found some of it doesnt sound that great.
10 years ago v0 now flaci can't hear any difference btwi just have storage space now
>>107692262>would i get a better quality opus@128 than a mp3@320Yeah
>>107691406>retard has been creating the same thread for over 5 yearsgo away, retard.
>>107692177>anything greater than 128kbps MP3 is snake oil, guys!this is why losers like you are kept well away from any kind of audio archiving. posting on 4chan seems to be a massive stretch for that remaining iq point of yours.

>>107687064They can't. Every attempt considerably hurts quality and as long as one company is burning money they all have to.
>>107691113So who did they hire after firing the previous supply chain managers?
>>107691120They wanted to avoid the 2024 and Q2 2025 glut again. DRAM industry has always been a waltz of spikes of demand and glut of inventory over the decades
>>107691113>Akshit SukhdeepI still refuse to believe that linkedin account wasn't bait.
>>107687064It's the same thing as back when they used to hire 30 programmers for a simple webpage instead of wondering why they need 30 programmers for a simple webpage in the first place. They don't want the other big tech company they're competing with to get the programmers instead. It's not about efficiency.

The Intel Managment Engine, even when neutralized by ME Cleaner, will still activate the Wake on Lan module, you can verifiy this or the e1000e.You can still "disable" it with ethtool, but to whether or not it actually is disabled I do not knowI debugged the ME and it does NOT respond to ME Version Queries, running intelmetool shows that it is in Factory Mode, it reports its state as being Initalizing, and the phase it reports is BUP where it halts.I believe the factory state might be exposing a debug mode, even when the HAP Bit is set.I have both the Intel ME Soft Temporary Disable patch and HAP bit is set to 1. Anyone have any ideas about this? Run ethtool on your network interface and see if WoL status is reported, especially if you have an e1000 or e1000e NICJust wanted to share

What's up with Microsoft Surface?
>>107688971It's not. I I have the old Intel laptop version of this. That fabric pad around the keyboard and trackpad get fucking disgusting and there is no way to really clean it.

CHICKEN JOCKEY
'jaks are all ugly as shit but why are mentally deficient sharty users so obsessed with cobson in particular? I don't get what's so special or good about it. It just looks like an ugly drawing. If it was a real person I would want to punch it in the face. Why do they love ugly things so much?
The way they build all this lore around these shitty drawings reminds me of stuff like Skibidi Toilet. iPad children are fucking retarded.
It's escalating hard. We WILL win this fight.
>>107686167Do xitters think posts win fights?The powers that be literally have bioweapons they can deploy to make you go night-night if they so choose. I don't think they're worried about posts on X.
>>107690461I think I worded it wrongly. I think one of the major differences between right and left is if you hypothetically have a perfect setting for a society, infinite resources, no external enemies, no stupid mentally ill people, would you prioritise equality as the ultimate goal or rather a world where exceptional people have more privileges. It can be exceptional even by just birthright. Then once we get these two positions settled the rest is just adapting world view based on what is practical. Big government socialists are pro-government ownership because they realise anarchism is impossible (at least now) so it is better if government owns everything as opposed to big corporations because you at least can vote for the government and politicians have taking care of you as part of their job title. This btw was the official position of Soviets before Stalin took over.>>107691643Which is why I specified economic right, which basically boils down to less government and more business>>107691664Nope, idk where you got that from. If I had kids I would forbid them electronics until age 10 (with the exception of limited TV time), then after age 10 I would maybe introduce them to few non-social videogames, at age 12 I would introduce them to searching the internet without using social media like looking up stuff on Wikipedia and only at age 16 would I show them what social media is.
>>107692170Yeah, they can cull the population at any point they want, the problem is that they would just be shooting themselves into the foot. Elites still need us to work for them and they can’t do some obvious genocide shit like releasing effective bioweapon that kills double digit percentages. This is why current day AI automation potential is so dangerous and why all the depopulation conspiracy theories have been stupid over the years. Elites want bigger population until they no longer need the masses, because in the current system the more people there are the more workers and consumers they have and the more cream they can cut from the top for themselves.
>>107686219Megalomania and ego, they want to feel like "elites" when in reality they are just useful idiots of the regime.
