it is really more useful than Katie from Sales getting skin cancer on a beach in Thailand or that...
A large chunk of air transport is also freight. And business. And regular domestic travel for people going from A to B, travel that doesn't include holidays for Kate or that drunk dude in Mallorca.
And when you look at those uses, AI is still running a pretty distant second place.
It seems that every new release adds another layer of indirection (misdirection?) between you and the useful stuff you need to access. I use a third party utility to manage IP settings, and it's one click from its menu to get to the network adapter page. It takes me about 5 minutes of angry clicking around in stock standard win11 before I get to the same place.
The main one I use is the network adaptor settings, where you can enable/disable protocols and most importantly for me, where you can easily add multiple IP addresses on a network adaptor.
The Win 8+ network settings page is an absolute trainwreck. I particularly like how it doesn't warn about conflicting IP addresses now and just silently accepts your given address and provides an auto-assigned 169.254 address instead if it sees even the smallest hint of another computer out there using the address you want to use.
Guaranteed fun and confusion trying to access/ping things until you finally check the status of the network adaptor and discover the auto assigned address, thanks Microsoft.
Not everyone wants to use dhcp, which is clearly their preferred direction, and there have been bugs where Cisco devices trigger that flip to auto assigned addresses even if things are fine.
Microsoft applied a data-driven approach to find out which features to add now, which features to add later, and which to completely avoid.
Which is why if you dig deep enough into Settings you'll see WinXP Control Panel UI elements. You know, the elements that are actually useful for power users.
Which is worse?
Surely if X > 0 then this is still a net improvement?
I just got GPU temp monitoring working on my old dell laptop. "Heat management" for the GPU is pretty much just an extra chunk of steel tacked onto the heat pipe halfway between the CPU and its radiator, so GPU temps are always in the red.
I might as well just turn off monitoring and remain ignorant 🤷
promises improved support for Wayland users by raising the minimum supported Wayland version to 1.20...
What a nice fluff piece for NVIDIA. How does ditching users below 1.20 and fixing an issue in their own UI improve support for Wayland exactly?
I do wonder if ditching < 1.20 support just so happens to fix the drop down issue they were having in their UI....
I don't see that at all. Perhaps you are just projecting your own issues onto Lemmy at large. I think you need to have a good hard look at yourself and your internal biases and then come back and apologise to all of us.
they're presented in the time and place you're more likely to interact with them.
Normally about 4 to 6 days late so you're "forced" to urgently like or comment after " missing out" on something in their life.
As is tradition.
Search engines should have an off button for ai,
Techbros won't let that happen, because they're all terrified that consumers will just shut off all the AI being crammed into everything and all their money will evaporate.
I use MX Linux because it provides a simple way to use both the NVIDIA 340 drivers and the latest kernels with my 14 year old laptop.
