They’re random people I most likely have never seen before and probably won’t ever see again.

And why do you think that? Have you paid attention to the people around you? If you and another person get to work at the same time, and live in the same area then odds are you will encounter them again. There might be a million people in your city. But how many of them have the exact same commute as you?

Also so what if you never see them again on the train? What if you end up really liking them, get their number, and stay in contact?

but can you easily run a Windows 7 app on Windows 10?

Yes? Pretty much anything made for XP and up will run on 11. Shit as long as the program is 32 bit it will probably run. Only exception is games, and that’s more just because hardware has moved on.

I mean no shit? Isn’t that why they emphasized by how these are the “free” ones?

Honestly the presets are pretty good. Normal is a good balance of speed and noise, silence is good for silence, and high performance just blasts them.

Find your average CPU temperature in game, and your average temperature at idle/low load. You’ll want it at or near 100% speed in games, and you’ll want it near the bottom at idle. If the temp difference is too small and it’s almost a vertical line then expect to hear fans ramp up and down a lot. So it’s a balancing act after those initial settings.

Most importantly you want hysteresis. Hysteresis prevents your fans from ramping up and down every single polling cycle and kinda averages it out. Fan speed changing bothers me more than hearing the fans, so I set a long 5-10 second hysteresis for my main case fans. For the CPU fan it’s a bit shorter, but they’re Noctuas so I can’t hear em.

Fast on my machine even with NP++. It did slow it down a smidge though when 4 things got added.

Maybe it’s just OneDrive being a piece of shit? I don’t have it in my right click menu for some raisin.

I have honestly no idea how microsoft still hasn’t fixed that issue. Granted I’ve never had it crash from waiting for a directory to respond, it just waits the full 1 minute for the packet to die before coming back.

Also can’t say I’ve had it happen for stuff pinned to the side bar, only when typing it in, or clicking on a mapped directory on the “this pc”

If it wasn’t for the bugs I’d whole heartedly love windows 11s explorer over 10s.

But if explorer stops responding me my interactions one more time I’m going to commit a crime.

Tabs? That’s pretty major.

Also that right click menu is lighters faster than the old school menu. Every application and their mother wants to add shit to the right click menu and it would lag out to the point it would take 10 seconds to open. The new one doesn’t have that issue anymore.

If it’s anything like their windows driver support then also awful. Maybe things have improved in the last year or so, but has Qualcomm ever put real effort into making ARM Windows laptops good?

5 has long overstayed its welcome.

Speed limits go up to 130 (80mph) in Australia so seems like they think it’s OK.

Mind you, in Australia the speed limit is usually followed pretty well.

That’s because Australia has realistic speed limits. The US doesn’t, and thats why people drive over it all the time.

There’s no drm on band camp

105c is the max operating temperature. It’s not going to run away the second it hits 106.

Your CPU starts throttling at 104c so that way it almost never hits at 105c for long If it can’t maintain clocks then it drops them until 104c can mostly be maintained.

The key is you installed Kali in a VM. The true peak is installing it on bare metal and then using it as a normal computer.

Seagate has more than bad batches. When every single one of their 1tb per platter barracuda drives have high failure rates then that’s a design/long term production issue.

Why? It’s designed to run up to 105c.

I think it was when AMDs 7000 series CPUs were running at 95c and everyone freaked out that AMD came out and said that the CPUs are built to handle this load 24/7 365 for years on end.

And it’s not like this is new to Intel. Intel laptop CPUs have been doing this for a decade now.

AMDs 7000 series CPUs were designed to boost until they hit 95c, then maintain those temps. 9000 series behaves differently for boosting, but the silicon can handle it.

Unless you have memories of the 90s you’re not a 90s kid. If you were born in 97 you are objectively not a 90s kid. You’re a 90s baby.

Turning 30? They’ve all turned 30.
