I was not aware that "not breaking everything" was a bug.
It's broken now.
You were giving excuses as to why it shouldn't be fixed.
Because you're an apologist for shitty software.
I would tend to agree with him.
It's ok if you have bugs this embarrassing! It's ok everybody! NO NEED TO FIX LINUX! WE LOVE ALL THE BUGS!!!!!
Face reality. This is really, really fucking embarrassing and if you're a Linux fan you should feel really fucking embarrassed.
WORD OF THE DAY: EMBARASS

TIL @blakeyrat suspends his servers when he's not using them.

That is why he is so embarassed, because he does not realize why this is a bad idea.

Somehow Microsoft and Apple manage to make OSes that are suitable for both desktop and server work.
MUST BE WIZARDS.
Actually, fuck servers. Let's compare SteamOS to its actual competition.
Xbox: all versions of it have had a fully functional sleep mode.
Playstation: I can't speak for the PS2, but the PS3 and 4 definitely have a fully functional sleep mode.
Nintendo Wii/Wii-U: Nintendo products are shit
So look, if you compare SteamOS to a desktop OS, it turns out it's ass. If you compare it to a game console, it turns out it's also-ass.
The only comparison you guys can come up with to make it look "good" is to compare it with a server, which is mind-bogglingly irrelevant.
Good job +1.
-
Meh. I am unimpressed with MS implementation of sleep. My Win8.1 desktop will only resume from sleep about half the time, so I just turned that functionality off. So in my case...it is roughly as buggy as Linux in that regard.
I could not care less about SteamOS.
-
Actually, fuck servers. Let's compare SteamOS to its actual competition.
Okay, let's do a quick comparison:
- SteamOS - runs on [insert large number] hardware configurations
- Xbox - runs on One hardware configuration
- Playstation - runs on one hardware configuration
- Nintendo Wii - runs on one hardware configuration
-
-
I could probably care less.
You really should mark that with a trigger warning...for some folks around here.
-
Well, I know what SteamOS is. That has to count for caring at least a little.

Nah, as a reply to your statement, it's obvious that he's not making a careless error, and that he's saying he does care.
Filed under: The fact that he cares about SteamOS may be an error, but it's not a careless one.

Usually, if that sort of consumption is present on my systems, it's either my browser acting up (I have a lot of tabs open at once) or some piece of software has a memory leak. Or I'm running some scientist's code, but I'd be expecting it in that case.

Since my update service is all screwed up, I'll say Windows had crapped itself.

##WTF Microsoft, ever heard of URL-s!??
Christ!
BTW, it seems the memory leak has screwed up windows update service. To the point where even DISM can't repair it. So now I can spend a few days fixing this crap, or just move on to W10 earlier than planned and swallow bugs and privacy issues.
Great.
-
WTF Microsoft, ever heard of URL-s!??
They fuck their URLs over on a semi-regular basis. Why they do this, I don't know. Yes, it might make it harder for Google to index their sites, but that's a just plain dumb reason. It's like the deciding that you don't like what an advertising hoarding across the street is saying, so you stab yourself in the face with a dagger made of plutonium!!!
-

Of course they know URLs. But not all browsers (very few, actually) are Doing It RightTM and use backslashes to separate directory levels.

Have you tried the FixIt? Surprisingly it actually seems to work on a lot of machines.

So, I was waiting for a parcel, to be delivered through DHL Express International. Signed up for SMS notifcations. And since we're on summer holidays at the moment, I was reasonably confident that I would be able to receive the package in person.
An hour I got an SMS: "Delivery attempted, recipient not home"
WTF? Doorbell didn't ring, the neighbours weren't contacted either (if I'm not home they're kind enough to hold my parcels for me, it's a standard approach for almost any delivery) and there's no paper note in my mailbox telling me what to do now (another requirement for cases where no one is home).
Thankfully enough, upon calling DHL and telling them about this, dispatch seems to have lit a fire under the delivery guys ass because he just delivered the package.

I choose to make Arch Linux my main OS. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard. Because that challenge is one that I am willing to accept, one I am unwilling to postpone, and one which I intend to win.I too once took that challenge, and for a long time i was winning. then eventually i decided that... well for gamers Windows just works better and i didn't really need X anyway as i spent 99.9% of my time in terminal/browser. so i bought myself a Raspberry Pi, set up SSH and installed Windows on my primary computer. With a SSH client i was good to go, and i could use Steam properly.
so I guess i failed that challenge, and you know what? I'm okay with that. :-D

DPD pulled the same on me the other week. Didn't sign up for sms notifications though, so I only noticed when the package took a lot longer to arrive than I expected.After two 'apparently' failed delivery attempts (I was home), decided to suck it up and get the package from one of their "Packaging stations". All that, after spending 20 cents and 10 minutes trying to get through to a customer rep.

I chased a postman down the road once. I was in my hall just about to leave for work and one of those 'you were out' cards dropped through the letter box right beside me . In the time it took to get my shoes on and unlock the door the bugger was getting in his van so I ran down the road shouting and waving behind him.
I sent a formal complaint letter to Royal Mail with the time, van reg etc.. and got a response that they would be investigating 'this serious matter', of course I never heard anything ever again.
The Royal Mail used to be great. You'd get the post with breakfast, now I'm lucky if the mail comes once a week at 4pm.

Is that a dirty euphemism?

If that's the reason, they really screwed the pooch, because that's the only way I've ever been able to reliably find anything of theirs. I wonder what the guys at archive.org think about them.

If it was a VW ...

Well when you start to get bored with Arch, you switch to Gentoo, and then to Linux From Scratch.

What? Like the back of a Volkswagen?

What, no comment on how long it took to resolve the issue?
"Our current software architecture doesn't preserve the contents of FBOs across modeswitches or power events. As a result, our implementation relies on applications re-rendering to their FBOs every frame. This is a fundamental limitation of our design that will be fixed in the future."

Considering most Linux machines are running servers, suspending them would be a very bad idea.
Ben, nobody would accept that answer from Microsoft.

Nintendo Wii/Wii-U: Nintendo products are shit
Nintendo handhelds have had a suspend feature going all the way back to the GBA. That was in 2001.

An hour I got an SMS: "Delivery attempted, recipient not home"
I caught[1] a UPS guy pulling that shit last month. Not only did he put the package down in front of the door without knocking, but it was for the apartment on the other end of the building.
[1] I was in the living room, which the front door opens into, with the blinds open, and my dog saw him and started barking.

Next time, I guess you need to go barefoot. But at least he didn't drive the truck up on your lawn like this asshole.
-
this asshole.
If they're about as well-payed and have about as little to work for that money as in Germany, they're really poor wretches so that this behavior is understandable (although not acceptable).
-
that this behavior is understandable
No. In no way is it ever understandable that anyone would think it would be OK to drive their fucking car right up your front lawn. The person in that video should be sent off to live as a hunter-gatherer in the wilderness for a year.
-
I can understand that a lawn owner can't understand that. Nevertheless, I can still understand that someone overworked to the point of starting to hallucinate would do such a thing - fuck consequences.

American postal workers would be much too entitled to be so overworked.
