“Something has gone seriously wrong,” dual-boot systems warn after Microsoft update
  • Easiest way to dual boot is 2 disks, with Linux and grub installed on 2nd disk, and BIOS set to boot to 2nd disk. That way Winblows thinks it is alone in the 1st disk of the system.

    Even so had an issue a couple years back that Winblows messed up its own loader, by not placing the boot files in the reserved hidden partition but then configuring the boot as if it did... facepalm Took me a morning of trial and error figuring how Winblows boot to fix it...

    Winblows is a cancer, but unfortunately it still is necessary for some gaming.

  • 1981 Citroën Type H (HY), produced from 1947 to 1981

    !

    Probably the 1st front traction van, the Type H had a long career being built from 1947 to 1981. Has quite a cult status in Europe.

  • The RPi 5 SoC does not have VP9 hardware decoding which is necessary for YouTube videos. Anything above 1080p30 inside a window will suck.

    Weird part is that RPi4 SoC has it.

    Edit: confirmed by Raspberry Pi Foundation themselves, only hardware video decoder is HEVC.

  • Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025
  • The problem is that that hardware, and older, is still perfectly capable of preforming modern desktop tasks. I have a 12 year old Athlon FX 8320 with 32GB RAM that works great, not the most efficient processor in terms of energy but runs everything well, yet it's not supported. Honestly I don't give a shit about Winblows, I work with Linux (system administrator) and I only use Win10 for some gaming. That said, I have a newer Ryzen 9 5950X with 128GB RAM to work with virtualization, and it will stay on Win10 till no longer being sustainable.

    Reddit Was Fun @lemmy.world krigo666 @lemmy.world
    Reddit changed their minds, do a half step back - RIF can access Reddit but doesn't accept login

    Seems that someone at Reddit decided to grant read access to RIF, this morning I opened the app just for kicks and it wouldn't load anything. Well I tried again after lunch (Europe CET time) and it could access the front page but I was logged out. Trying to login shows a different logon page and even with valid credentials gives out a 'Bad request' response.

    That means they are not just feeling the heat, they are probably burning really bad.
