PleasureKevin posted:i've thought about it. and while it's only 80 bucks it's 80 bucks spent on a computer i use for like a few hours a week mostly while mumbling "geez this game sucks balls" provided the pc has at least SATA II you won't regret it at all. i got a cheap ssd for my ancient 2008 mbp and since the lovely nvidia controller will only do SATA I i just put the larger capacity 7200 rpm drive back in it since it was literally the same experience and put the (sata iii) ssd in my hackintosh as a wandows drive instead Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Jan 1, 2016 |

cremnob posted:Microsoft is back from years in the woods, fearless and full of ambition quote:Microsoft's bold ventures into areas that rivals dared not tread have arguably positioned the company beyond the curve. Deliberate steps into the cloud, mixed reality, a unified platform, a freemium model for Office, category-defining hybrid hardware and expensive gaming accessories are signs of a company that's not afraid of what lies beyond the bend. This ambition is likely due to an acute sense of what the future holds. since when does "throw literal poo poo at the wall and see what sticks" equate to "deliberate steps"

univbee posted:As you may recall, Microsoft has delivered KB3035583 as a 'recommended update' to users of Windows 7 and 8.1. What this update does is install GWX ("Get Windows 10"), a program which diagnoses the system to see if it is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10, and if so, asks the user if they would like to upgrade (though recently, the option to decline has been removed). Some users have gotten around this by editing Windows Registry values for "AllowOSUpgrade", "DisableOSUpgrade", "DisableGWX", and "ReservationsAllowed" in order to disable the prompt altogether. This advice was endorsed by Microsoft on their support forums. lol os x just gives you a little notification for el capitan that you can dismiss and never see again

Shaggar posted:for whatever reason consolas doesn't work there so it falls back to whatever the default monospace font is. Still looks better than anything on ios iirc its got exceptions for useragents so it doesn't use menlo on ios either, even though ios includes menlo. its been a long time since i looked at it but i wrote a glimmerblocker filter to fix the font definitions and inject consolas into the css though so it worksforme on ios when i'm using my home network (and vpn)
