I did, they didn’t work until I installed the preview version. I think this hardware is too new. I have the Asus ProArt 16 with Ryzen 9 HX 735

I nuked windows to get rid of malware manufacturer installs

Only way I could get a bunch of drivers for my new laptop. Had no Webcam, no sound and only limited TouchPad functionality until I installed a preview version

- Comment on Parents outraged at Snoo after smart bassinet company charges fee to rock crib for crying babies 2 months ago:
It really isn’t unless they changed since we used it 5 years ago. It just had a microphone and went through several levels of rocking based on how much sound mics picked up. It worked whether it was connected or not. Internet was just for notifications. Your baby screaming is usually a pretty clear notification.

- Comment on Why haven't car manufacturers standardized automatic brake lights when a built in accelerometer detects deceleration? 4 months ago:
That’s stupid feature on American cars only and they’ve been doing it forever.
- Comment on Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on *.google.com access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage 4 months ago:
This is not a typical extension and it cannot be removed. It doesn’t even show up in the list of installed extensions.
- Comment on Apple introduces M4 chip 6 months ago:
I know, but I don’t care about GUI or gaming. I just need transcoding.
I guess they did a poll and most people want kde on these to replace their desktops so my use case is low priority. That’s why I wish Lina and her team had more resources.
- Comment on Apple introduces M4 chip 6 months ago:
I love it on my M2 Mac mini. Useless with macos because it needs more than 8gb of ram just to start without loading anything but Asahi turns it into a fantastic ARM server. I just wish GPU team had more resources to finish the driver. M2 is absolute shit at transcoding on CPU. I mean it’s also terrible on GPU, but I can’t complain considering how little power it consumes.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App 6 months ago:
I’d still expect a lot more from a toy at $200. That’s cheap drone money or a decent RC car.

- Comment on Struggling database company MariaDB could be taken private in $37M deal 8 months ago:
I would not be surprised. I’ve done it many times including complicated setups with different databases as replica slaves.
I’m now seeing a lot of new projects that don’t care much about DB backend since the library they use to wrap sql calls obscures all that stuff anyway, but I promise you mysql to Maria is a much more common and straightforward transition than to postgresql.
- Comment on Struggling database company MariaDB could be taken private in $37M deal 8 months ago:
Huh? Postgresql is not mysql compatible. Mariadb is very popular in a ton of businesses around the world as a not stupidly expensive sql database with great support.
- Comment on Google tests a feature that calls businesses on your behalf and holds until an agent is available | TechCrunch 8 months ago:
Couple of times I tried using it, the reps were super confused and kept asking me to reveal the name of third party on the line. As a joke I once replied Google Androidov and the guy just wrote it down.
Some straight up refused to speak to me because of third party on the line.
Most just hang up as soon they hear any kind of automated message.
I wish there was a silent mode at least available to single party consent states or for a list of numbers that tell you your call will be recorded without an option to opt out.
- Comment on How safe is self-hosting a public website behind Cloudflare? 10 months ago:
No, but I thought I clarified that when I said it’s basically wireguard VPN which operates using tcp/udp (layer 3.) layer 7 is stuff like https. CF tunnels are lower level.
Page you linked is missing the layer between CF and source server so it doesn’t indicate layer. You can lookup wireguard protocol if you want more details.
- Comment on How safe is self-hosting a public website behind Cloudflare? 10 months ago:
CF tunnels are layer 3, not 7 and they have support for web sockets. It’s basically wireguard VPN with a few extras built on top.
- Comment on 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still 10 months ago:
I’m surprised so many people are cross shopping tbh. I briefly considered steam deck, but specs are barely enough to play at 1080p so it’s completely useless when docked and a purely portable device with a tiny screen and gamepad carries very little value to me personally.
I ended up getting eGPU enclosure for my laptop and grabbing a 1080ti from a friend that didn’t need it anymore. I’m able to play D4 at 4k on medium settings.
Even if I had to buy a gpu like I was originally planning, ~$800 total to play in 4k on a 43" screen with a mouse and keyboard is a completely different experience from anything Xbox or steam deck offer.
- Comment on 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still 10 months ago:
I recently experimented with both of those on AWS and they are completely not usable atm. At least not over WAN and with gpu mounted to a device you don’t have compete control over.
Does streaming work any better over LAN?

- Comment on Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever 11 months ago:
Could you name a couple? I’m not aware of any industry standard applications that are exclusive to macos. Or is this some custom designed stuff?
- Comment on Beeper Mini Is Back 11 months ago:
I think the point is all these features are supported by RCS. Open standard that would be trivial for Apple to implement. They choose not to because they are greedy cunts. They are fully aware that this causes bullying and inability of tech illiterate to communicate with their friends/family.
Nobody older than 13 cares about color of text messages and most people recognize convenience of a single app for all messaging needs. This is an issue that Apple could trivially make disappear overnight if they weren’t cunts.
Fuck Apple.
- Comment on The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money 11 months ago:
I recently saw one in the wild and it’s even uglier in person than it was in pictures. For a second I thought someone DIYed that nasty looking car; nope, actual designers puked that thing out.
- Comment on Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like. 1 year ago:
It isn’t legal (in US) and cops do occasionally set up decibel traps, especially in places frequently visited by motorcyclists, but I completely agree with you. Quiet nights outside of city feel strange now.
- Comment on Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like. 1 year ago:
Places like Los Angeles are mostly SFH. Most areas are already loud as fuck from road noise, proximity to airports, etc. Nobody will notice a few drones.
If it becomes popular in LA, that’s pretty much definition of mainstream.
