more work fun: visio 2013 refuses to display 100%, best I can get is 104%, and zooming in or out gets similarly stupid percentages like 56% etc. some recent update deleted every excel and word shortcut I had sitting on my desktop for some unknown reason. others were unaffected

i like how the creators update tells you that it's going to warn you before it starts installing, and specifically tells you that's so you can save your files

oh and apparently just having windows 10 doesn't guarantee you're going to be get security updates, now you need to install these feature updates every few years too http://windowsitpro.com/windows-10/windows-10-version-1507-servicing-scheduled-end-09-may-2017

if vulkan actually took off then linux gaming could actually unironically be a thing but lol that's never going to happen

it really is pretty unclear how linux gaming would take off, it is a space were monopolies are fairly natural. vulkan is still cool and good though, only good things can come of it getting broad acceptance

Sapozhnik posted:vulkan rulez dx12 droolz dx12 had roughly zero games until almost a year later. having talos principal on launch day and doom less than 6 months later is impressive, especially considering that doom is the only game so far where using a new api makes a real "wow!" difference
