I never understood why that poo poo takes so long. Linux repositories run by volunteers get package information in less than a second but microsoft, who own billions of dollars worth of server infrastructure, can't get their lovely driver database faster than 5+ minutes per request?

aha there was a thing on that Microsoft blog about this, something about how not all USB devices have serial numbers so windows can't uniquely identify the same device plugged into a different port. your device is stupid and doesn't have a serial number.

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

I remember when I was a young executive for this company. I used to call the old man funny names. "Iron Butt." "Boner." Once I even called him... "rear end in a top hat." But there was always respect. I always knew where the line was drawn. And you... just stepped over it, buddy-boy. You've insulted me, and you've insulted this company with that bastard creation of yours! I had a guaranteed military sale with the Courier! Renovation program! Spare parts for 25 years! Who cares if it worked or not?

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

so? just use the same driver, config, etc. as the last attached device marching the vendor and device class

the article continues by saying what if you have two USB dildos plugged in that both report the same device class and have no serial number? the configurations would get assigned randomly
