No :P LaTeX is something that absolutely does not work for me. I've waste too many hours, days, maybe even weeks by now, fiddling with LaTeX oddities. I am done with it.

There is no practical way of turning of telemetry completely. Since telemetry is enabled by default, I doubt the portion of users turning it off is significant. I think the bigger problem is that you just can't derive meaningful data f

Defender may be better but I still don't like that you can't completely disabled it without breaking other parts of the system, like Windows Store. Edge itself, as a browser, might only be equally annoying as Chrome, but my point

Regarding gaming: in fact a lot of the big studios don't really care about PC as a platform in general, not specifically about Windows. See Elden Ring for example, it has a PC 'port' that is about the bare minimum you can get

I'd really like to know how much Microsoft's behavior with recent Windows versions pays off. Specifically bundling lots of unwanted apps, forcing Edge and Defender down people's throats, removing basic UI customization featur

I recently considered using Kaitai for a project but I am not sure whether it can handle the following: Certain parts of the binary I need to parse are compressed using some custom algorithm. I do have an implementation for compression and

I wonder whether the problems with Windows Ink have been a driving force behind this move. I think anyone that has used Krita on Windows has run into issues related to Windows Ink while using a Wacom tablet.

The main problem of the outage was that users were logged out and thus unable to play what songs they had downloaded / cached.

To feel less guilty about them: fix them. Everyone makes mistakes, but that's just part of the iterative process. If you fix your bugs as soon as they come up, there is no issue. QA is there fore finding bugs, and if a bug leads to a c

Yeah, I was wanted to use the Git graph feature to create some nice diagrams. I expected the cli to work just like graphviz. Yet I was greeted by a stacktrace from Chromium since it did not work in WSL. The whole idea of depending on a full

Semi-related question: does mermaid-cli still bring along chromium to 'render' images?

I know, I've used them in the past. However, I get annoyed by having to remember the exact sequence for the character I want. And often, when drawing a line, I'll just copy some characters that are already there anyway. Also, I te

Sure, last time I used them I documented some file format I needed to reverse engineer. Here an excerpt. Of course, it's not _necessary_ to do it like that. It's just flavor. ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

For what it's worth, I keep a file in my home folder containing some box drawing characters. It's not super fast to draw by copy-paste but the result usually looks quite nice. ─ │ ┌ ┬ ┐ ┄ ┆ ├ ┼ ┤ ╲ ╱ ┈ ┊ └ ┴ ┘

Big thanks to DXVK at this point. Even when you are not running on Linux directly, having a DX11 -> Vulkan translation layer makes porting (older) games to other platforms so much easier. Of course, there are also other projects like FAu

I can't wait for PlayStation exclusives which will get shitty PC ports. Yes, I am looking at you FF7 Remake selling for 70 bucks.

Exactly. Just looking at the Master Chief collection shows that the games were quite alright.

True, but it was initially supposed to be an RTS, just a bit longer before Microsoft stepped in.

Personally, I am not a fan of Windows Defender in general, but disabling it completely renders other services (e.g. Windows Store) unusable. That's why I only disable the real-time scanning component. There are two reasons for doing th

Try to setup OBS in such a way that there is hardly any editing that needs to be done. Especially on the audio side you can achieve a lot by adding rnnoise and a compressor to your mic.
