RE: Google wants to make e-mail more "interactive" - what could possibley go wrong?
I don't want the content of my emails to change, ever. That's what literally every other form of digital communication is for. Emails are for archival and "I'll get to it later" communication.

RE: Windows 10 on ARM official support

@LB_ said in Windows 10 on ARM official support:
The Microsoft Surface Pro X runs full Windows 10 on an ARM64 processor and even runs x86 apps via emulation, but it is also prohibitively expensive and does a whole lot I do not need. Is there some way I can buy or build my own basic ARM64 computer that can run Windows 10, more powerful than a Raspberry Pi, and not as insanely expensive as the Surface Pro X? Or am I just out of luck until manufacturers start producing more and cheaper Windows 10 ARM64 devices?
There are other Windows 10 on ARM machines out there; taking a quick peek at Amazon and Best Buy, it looks like refurbs from Lenovo start at $400 and new ones at $600. They probably won't be as nice as the Surface, but they're a heck of a lot cheaper if you just want a machine for testing.
Thanks, that was the hint I needed to find one that was suitable. Surprisingly none of them mention "ARM" or "ARM64" in their product pages at all, which is why my previous attempts at searching weren't working well.

pitifully slow
Right now, the really big users of remote debugging are people doing embedded work (where ARM is utterly huge). Their programs tend not to be very large because their target computers are pretty small too, and the remote debugging protocols are usually optimised for being able to work over a tiny piece of string and half a tin can onto some weird embedded system, not for talking to essentially a full desktop system at the other end. That's where the real money in remote debugging goes…
The debugging wasn't slow at all, it was actually surprisingly fast since it's just over my local network. What was pitifully slow was my poor Pi trying to render a 3D rotating cube from the default template DirectX 11 UWP project in Visual Studio.

Windows 10 on a Pi 2B (1GiB RAM). What did you expect beside it being slow?
Get a Pi 4, it's available with 2, 4 and 8GiB
Err... this hacky mess? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKCHGCOcHis / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0_kEV-gdtI
Definitely neat, but not what I'm looking for. I will keep an eye on it though... -
RE: WTF Bites
@Tsaukpaetra I had a 1.8.1 directory with lots of files like yours, and a 1.8.2 directory with just the Authy executable and the updater executable, otherwise empty. Copied all missing files from 1.8.1 to 1.8.2, and it works. Botched upgrade, I guess.

RE: WTF Bites
Erm... excuse me, what? Why does Authy need ffmpeg of all things? And why did this only start happening today??

RE: Windows 10 on ARM official support
So, I am a complete novice to the whole ARM ecosystem, and I basically just want to have a working computer that I can remotely debug native ARM/ARM64 apps on from my main computer via the Visual Studio 2019 debugger. All I currently have is a Raspberry Pi 2B or something, and while it does work for remote debugging, it is pitifully slow, and only runs Windows 10 IoT Core. The Microsoft Surface Pro X runs full Windows 10 on an ARM64 processor and even runs x86 apps via emulation, but it is also prohibitively expensive and does a whole lot I do not need. Is there some way I can buy or build my own basic ARM64 computer that can run Windows 10, more powerful than a Raspberry Pi, and not as insanely expensive as the Surface Pro X? Or am I just out of luck until manufacturers start producing more and cheaper Windows 10 ARM64 devices?

RE: Windows 10 display arranging sucks, so I fixed it by setting the pixel positions manually
@Stefan-Misch Wow, I am really glad to have been able to help inspire you to create that! My original code kept needing tweaks as I discovered that monitor entries Windows would enumerate were sometimes disconnected or unused entries, your tool seems quite handy for avoiding that issue. Great work!

RE: WTF Bites
@dkf Just wanted to add, C++20 now has
std::assume_aligned
, though library and compiler support is currently still WIP.

though the button sent me to the right page
Do you have 1909 installed?
I'm wondering if it goes to the 1909 page if you've got 1903 installed, and the 2004 page if you've got 1909 installed.
I was on 1909 and it sent me to the 1909 page.

RE: Tales from Coronavee-rooss Italy, mamma mia!
@dfdub Wow, is that an interactive embed? The pause/play button works and you can click (and drag!) on the timeline to seek.

RE: WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else
The button goes to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-1909 for some reason, maybe it
was meant to go to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-2004 instead? Neither page really seems to have any explanation as to why it thinks my device is incompatible though. I already updated my display drivers to ones that specifically mentioned being compatible with the update. -
RE: Killed by Google
YouTube Polls
Also, does anyone know what that black rounded rectangle thing is I have been seeing lately in Chrome? It changes thickness if I move the tab to my 200% scaled monitor:
It moves between elements when I press tab, I guess it shows what element is in focus...? Why would they change that from what it was before? Guess they killed the old one, then...
