Happy_Misanthrope posted:As bad it looks by itself, this isn't just "MS reneged on their promise" - this is basically a complete gutting of the service, at least with respect to any competitive advantage it may offer. The reduced free offering, the removal of 100/200gb competitive offers - it's as if they really just don't want to compete here anymore.

OneDrive user here! I'm on the basic 50Gb / £0.99p option, so it doesn't sound like I'm affected by any of this. And before anyone asks why I'm using it... It works super well for me?  It uploads in a timely manner, the W10 client is completely unobtrusive and when you have W10 on desktop, tablet and phone, it is stupendously convenient. Also it's cheap.I'm sure Microsoft will find a way to ruin it for me.

What I don't get is how they weren't able to handle unlimited data. I mean, there's deduplication, right? They have gigantic Azure datacenters, right? Unless people were what, uploading a few petabytes of completely encrypted  blurays? They really couldn't manage just cutting off the top 1% offenders?

Happy_Misanthrope posted:Not anymore. It's now actually the most expensive option if you need more than 15gb and less than 1tb. Google Drive gives you 100gb for MS's 50, Apple's 50gb is half the monthly price of OD. Not to mention Google Photo storage is free for photos up to 16 mpixels or videos up to 1080p. $7 for a terabyte is fine, but they made all their other plans worse at the same time.

I have just bought a replacement motherboard for my PC - a different one from the one it came with - same manufacturer though. Depending on if the new motherboard fixes the issues I've been having, I may or may not swap back to the board that's currently in my PC. Should I do a clean format and start fresh? Or can I get away with reusing the same install and simply installing the new drivers for my new motherboard?

Dylan16807 posted:Yeah, it's kind of silly. Oh no, there's several people using an entire 12 drives each. If the average user is only 5GB then what's the problem. Now you get to cut usage by a few percent at the cost of removing significant peace of mind from all your remaining customers. Well, I mean...we just got significant evidence that the data usage of unlimited users is significant.

Unlike every other cloud storage provider out there, Microsoft doesn't provide Encryption at Rest for your data. They've been swearing up and down for years that they're going to add it, so maybe cutting back on all this stuff is them paving the way to finally enable it? I've avoided One Drive like the plague ever since I found out they don't even take that basic precaution.

Now that Windows 10 doesn't shut my desktop down every 8-10 hours if I'm not using it (I figured out it was Deluge of all things causing that one), I'm considering upgrading my laptop as well. Problem being, it's a 2011 Sager with the bundle of joy that is Nvidia Optimus. Two questions: 1. Are there any issues I should be aware of regarding this and Windows 10? 2. Is it possible to just install Windows 10 in such a manner that the GTX650 (the good GPU) is the only one the computer uses? It's plugged in 99.9% of the time and the battery lasts roughly three hours if I put the thing to sleep, so it's not a real good "portable" device. Thus energy savings are not all that important to me.

At this point, if I try to update the drivers for the nvidia card, I just get a bluescreen. I think this is a common issue with Optimus equipped laptops; Sager just sort of came up with the drivers, updated once a few months later, and they've been the same ever since. I *think* there's a way to "disable" Optimus by just installing the nvidia drivers in the first place. Apparently many laptops have a bios option to just disable the intel GPU, but this has no such option

While you can generally disable the Nvidia card I've never seen a modern Optimus setup where you can disable the integrated GPU.

So I've bit the bullet and installed Win10. Things are great so far! Except that when I'm running a game in Windowed (Fullscreen) such as WoW, the taskbar disappears. I have two monitors and on my second monitor, I have a Steam chat fullscreen, and usually put a browser window over top of it, leaving the bottom of chat uncovered so I can read anything that pops up. Used to be if I clicked on the browser window from WoW, the taskbar would pop up on my primary monitor but now it will only do that if the browser on my secondary monitor is fullscreen, which is not ideal. Is there any hope for my stupidly specific problem? EDIT: If I click on the Steam chat window, which is maximized, the taskbar doesn't show up either. I have to alt-tab to something else to get it to show up. Admiral Joeslop fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Nov 7, 2015 |

Ok so I upgraded my home desktop (2013 HP Pro, 8G Ram, Win 7 pro) with no issues as of yet. I have the USB install downloaded and ready to go if I need to do a clean install but so far so good. I wouldn't mind upgrading the 2 internal 500G hard drives to SSD eventually so that's when I'll probably get to the full clean install via USB. I never owned a Win 8 computer but really wasn't a fan of the tiles, so the more traditional layout for Win 10 is easy to transition to. I even sideloaded the old Win 7 weather, calendar and CPU gadgets with no problems.

Does anyone know if the November update has started rolling out? I'm on 10586 already so I'm probably already running the final bits, but I'm due to update a few machines from Windows 7 to 10 this week and I'd rather get the new ISO and save myself installing 4 months of updates.

I'm in the process of putting together a shopping list for a new PC build and I'm wary of Win10. I'd save a chunk of money by using my Win7 disc on the new machine and upgrading, but I'm hearing a lot of bad things about Win10 in terms of privacy and stability - and I dont have the guarantee that a lot of programs I need to use are as stable on 10 as they would be on 8.1 Is win10 as terrible as its cracked up to be?
