As exciting as new AI tools and stuff can be I'm holding my breath more for house cleaning, unification, and de-bloating efforts more than anything. I think it was announced that Edge will be losing Math Solver and other bloat. i just want them to stop randomly popping up explorer windows i have minimized while doing other things.

Does anyone have a link to a good guide on how to de-gently caress OneDrive's bullshit? I want to stop %documents% from pointing to the OneDrive folder so I can be rid of it for good.

Right-click the My Documents library and go into properties. There’s an option in there to change the directory location.

Perfect, thanks. Or it would be, if windows wasn't throwing an error that means loving nothing. Looks like I have to do registry edits to de-gently caress it, I'll try to deal with it later.

I believe you have to 1) stop backup of the folders, which is enabled by default 2) uninstall OneDrive 3) locations should default to local now. If you don't stop backup before uninstalling it's a nightmare lol

Holy poo poo they finally got rid of the white flashbang when opening Explorer windows in dark mode with the latest update (I'm on Release Preview). Also Explorer is still far from 'snappy', but they also seemed to have reduced, if not eliminated those instances of watching the context menu draw-in the additional options areas after it pops up. Wee.

Ableton live puts gigs and gigs of content into the Documents folder, which immediately got uploaded to OneDrive and filled up all my storage. Oh cool I can't receive or send emails because a bunch of poo poo I definitely dont need on the cloud took up all my cloud space. I bet syncing the files back to my PC and telling OneDrive to stop syncing that folder will be a breeze! Oh nevermind it took loving hours and kept crashing explorer trying to change attributes of tens of thousands of files at a time. Windows 11 is such God drat loving GARBAGE

But you see, this is good for the consumer because back up is hard or something. Maybe you just need to give Microsoft another $20 / month in perpetuity to make your computer work and it'll be fine.

Once again, I want like... someone to make an inexpensive 3- or 4-bay NAS that you can just slot a couple of cheap consumer SATA SSDs into, it automatically RAID-5 or RAID-6s itself. It doesn't need to be huge, and it doesn't need to be much larger than the stacked dimensions of the 4 SSDs themselves. Kubesail has come absolutely closest to this with their PiBox, but they only have a 2-bay version, and the 4-6-bay versions are nowhere to be seen. And you still need a screwdriver to access the drives. I'm thinking carrierless bays. Like, something cheap enough that EVERYONE can have just hooked up to their network at all times.

I said it was the closest to, and the PiBox 2 just does RAID 1. Which isn't the *craziest* thing? In a certain way, it makes sense, in that RAID 1 is still going to be miles beyond what most people have, before parity calculations even enter the picture, and a TB of external mirrored flash storage is guaranteed to be peppy. edit: If it were up to me, upon being born, you'd be issued a 4-bay RAID 6 box along with your social security number, but an external backup and a mirror would have made my life so much easier when doing family IT.

In the past ripping stuff out of windows was a bit of an art but doable. Since windows 7 I haven't bothered because it breaks things more than it makes it run lean. (I tried to do it on 10 a bunch but it would break things) Now I mostly don't care besides using power shell to get rid of candy crush and a few other semi preloaded things I'll never use, but I'm starting to consider a Rufus custom image or whatever for my next clean install. The program that shits up my error log the most historically is the Xbox app which I barely use just for checking on a few non PC friends once in a blue moon. Don't forget that one drive backs up your desktop as well, which I keep iconless and only use as a temporary clipboard of sorts

OneDrive was installed by default in Win10, but was inactive unless you signed into Windows with a MS Account (or specifically set up OneDrive). The change with Win11 is mandatory MS Accounts, unless you go out of your way to use a bypass. Vic posted:I was upgrading from W10 on both machines so maybe that's why I never had this problem? Yeah if you weren't using OneDrive before the upgrade would respect that.

I broke to the dark side and have been using a Microsoft account for maybe 2-3 years. It is pretty nice that almost every setting carries over to a fresh install, but I worry it will get some stuff wrong and wouldn't mind a totally clean slate. If I have to do a quick glean of a double check is it really saving me any time? (I know you probably don't need to fresh install anymore and stuff just works mostly, but I think a clean install every so often could cure some wonkiness and perhaps even gain you 2fps) Quaint Quail Quilt fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Sep 26, 2023 |

The white flashing is driving me nuts on chrome, I don't think Firefox is doing it. I know Chrome is starting to be a bad idea, but I'm a weirdo who uses: 1. Firefox for general browsing and YouTube 2. Chrome without hardware acceleration for viewing Twitch/YouTube while gaming 3. Edge for Twitch with h/w acceleration Wonder if there's a way to stop it.

Dessel posted:2. Chrome without hardware acceleration for viewing Twitch/YouTube while gaming Uh, why are you doing that? GPU video decode hardware is separate silicon from the parts used by the game, it shouldn't affect performance. Less so than using the CPU anyways. (Even if you have a CPU with way more cores than the game uses, it's extra system memory pressure and general overhead.)

The setup literally works on my 5600x and 3060ti. Also worked on my previous 3570k and rx480, on a CPU limited game no less. I will start dropping stream frames with hardware acceleration enabled. (outright stream pausing). Maybe it's gsync, whatever. Think what you will but it literally makes streams actually watchable in my use cases. Maybe because instant replay or whatever is enabled so the silicon that shares that and stream is shared, but I haven't tested that heavily lately. Some frames are dropped on Chrome regardless if there's a game on the foreground but that that might just be crappy Twitch extensions, I haven't come to a 100% conclusion if it's dumb plugins or hardware acceleration and I can't be bothered keep installing/uninstalling to be 100%.

I focused in on the while gaming part and could only imagine it being a game performance thing. Does the same thing happen watching a video in like VLC? If so if could be the GPU having enough load that it's dropping encoder work, whether due to the instant replay idea or just general load. Otherwise it's probably a chrome problem.

It definitely has to do with twitch and hardware acceleration in the browser, because when I ran into it I didn’t have any plugins affecting things and I went through a similar process of troubleshooting and trying different browser.

Speaking of weird video stuff, any idea why my Win11 system would have lag but only in completely nonsensical, undemanding apps? I've got a 13700K and a 3080, drivers up to date, and random apps will lag badly enough if they're the focused app that it makes moving the mouse feel noticeably sluggish. Diablo 4 didn't lag when I played it. Crusader Kings 3 doesn't. Firefox and Vivaldi don't, whether or not I'm playing video. Freda e-book reader does, though! My Hyper-V VM? Causes the lag. Out of the Park Baseball, which is a glorified spreadsheet, causes the lag unless I disable OpenGL, but why the hell would Win11 be having issues with OpenGL?

Are you using a monitor with a variable refresh rate (G-Sync/Freesync)? Your video card drivers could be detecting that those things are 3d apps and your monitor could then be trying to sync to a very low framerate, making things seem laggy. If you have an NVIDIA card, you can set 3D settings for those specific apps to not use G-SYNC (under "Monitor Technology") and I assume there's an AMD equivalent if that happens to AMD cards too. I've had to set this for several programs since I don't want to give up windowed G-Sync (another option).

I'm seeing similiar issues with my Win11 PC but it seems to happen when Steam is downloading updates and it's system-wide. As soon as the update download stops my mouse goes back to normal.

Man the iPhone support in the Phone Link app is dogshit. I got it to work with my iPhone 13 after enduring a dozen "unable to connect" errors instantaneously popping up after clicking the pair button but now that I'm trying it with an iPhone 15 I'm having no such luck. Even when I got it to work with the iPhone 13 it wouldn't support group chats.

Yeah, it’s more of an Apple thing. The Phone Link app has to fake being a car infotainment system so iPhones will let it access text messages and make calls but you won’t get history or most features you would when pairing an Android phone.

I have no idea where the blame for that lies lol
