Ok, I figured the hardware support bit would be a longshot anyways.

Whatever is going on, it is missing real-time deadlines for some reason. It could be the configuration results in too much work, or the audio work itself isn’t that bad but the priority is low enough that other less time-critical work is getting in the way.

But yeah, even if it is solvable, there should be good defaults to prevent it from happening in the first place. Annoying thing is that there might even be profiles where one would work for you, but they might be hidden deep in the terminal.

Not the original commenter, but your reply looks like it’s for termaxima’s comment (about hallucinations being a mathematical certainty).

A recent update added 104ms to my boot time and I am SEETHING and will get to the bottom of this and make those responsible pay dearly.

I haven’t gotten my hands dirty with this stuff specifically, but maybe you need to adjust buffer sizes to properly handle the different bit rates. Do you mainly see issues with higher combinations? The sample rate * bit depth is the important number, here. If you consider the problematic ones from that perspective, is there a threshold where anything under works fine but anything above has issues that get worse depending on how far above the threshold it is?

I’m not certain, but I believe the audio buffer is handled via a callback function that gets called when the audio buffer is some % close to empty, and then the program refills the buffer, plus some other overhead. That data left in the buffer sets the deadline for refilling the buffer; miss that deadline and the audio cuts out. Meet the deadline and audio is seemless.

A too small buffer will require the callback be called more often, and then the overhead can add up to missing deadlines. Alternatively, the % when it does the callback might need to be adjusted.

Another consideration is if your DAC doesn’t support the chosen sample rate and bits per sample, then there is probably another buffer of the supported size and a conversion from one to the other (and its own callback when that buffer gets low). That said, I don’t know if it’ll even list unsupported combinations because I’m having trouble thinking of a valid use case. But it’s technically possible, so maybe it is like that.

Anyways, those are what I’d be checking to debug this. If it is a setup problem, it won’t likely ever go away on its own, unless better defaults get set for those bitrates, but the ideal values depend on your system’s performance, so if yours is on the weaker side, it might never change.

So what’s the difference between this kernel and the Linux kernel? Are they both intended to be interface-equivalent (even if they aren’t in the same place on the implementation side)? Any fundamentally different design policies?

I think the windows connection help wizard might have actually fixed a connection issue I had once. Out of more chances than I probably should have given it, considering how often it did dick all, despite my phone’s connection being fine.

I think there’s a rare race condition or something in the windows network stack because I’ve had four different machines suddenly lose the ability to connect to working networks, where sometimes toggling airplane mode would fix it, sometimes even that wouldn’t do anything and it needed a restart. It happened more often with wireless connections, but I’ve seen it affect wired ones, too.

It feels like a bunch of moderation decisions are made by people just trying to satisfy some arbitrary OCD-like requirements. Like “you can’t reply to an old conversation” or “you can’t talk about a problem someone has already talked about”. That stuff is worse than the people who reply useless shit like RTFM (aka “I go to helo forums not to provide help but to gloat about the things I know that you don’t and act like every single comment is addressed to me personally and needs my input”) because at least those useless comments don’t kill the rest of the conversation.

My experience when I switched about a year ago was to wonder why I had put it off for so long because from day 1, it was more comfortable to use.

Ans this is despite me using a DE I’d never used before (cinnamon) and ended up not really liking and getting “pushed” to another one (KDE) like windows pushed me to another OS (and even that was another “why didn’t I do this sooner?”).

So a DE that was bad enough that I was happy to find a better alternative was still such a better experience than windows that I didn’t miss any of the comfort of familiarity at all from the start.

And the longest part of the process was a) fighting windows to write the install iso properly (iirc it wanted to add the stupid windows meta folder files or something like that, causing the iso to fail the hash check, and I have a feeling that that side effect might be a reason they do it that way), and b) reading up on the various options in case I wanted something other than the default or common options (I didn’t but it was good to learn).

I’d guess the dialog was written by an AI that was never told to go implement the help function, but I know that the automated help or button to find help online rarely worked before AIs were capable of doing much of anything with code. Though odds are the broken non-AI help buttons were replaced with broken AI help buttons that were trained using the original broken code.

I still see a calendar if I click the clock on my work laptop. Though that might have been one of the settings I clicked while wondering why MS even thought this should change.

Probably using some AI to do fuzzy authentication or something. I had a window pop up like this on my work laptop for some random app it was checking for updates on but failed to authenticate for (just for that app, no other errors, hasn’t popped up again since).

One video showing something better than the entire concept of the metaverse. Probably because this doesn’t look like a way to create a space specifically to rent, sell or advertise shit.

You can’t draw in pictionairy.

Behind the Bastards did a show on him. My memory is fuzzy on the specifics, and holy shit was it complicated trying to find out the information without listening to the episode(s) again, but no, he wasn’t just a silly self-parody and stepped over the line to be a piece of shit.

Allegations against him:

• Person of interest in the murder of his neighbour (that he was known to be hostile with) in Belize. He eventually fled the country when he became a person of interest.
• Another time when his compound was raided on suspicion of manufacturing meth, he answered the door armed and naked (ok, that goes along with the parody bit) and authorities found a terrified 17-year-old in his bed.
• This wasn’t a one off thing, based on what other visitors have said was going on when they were there.
• Nanette Burnstein made a documentary about him. She was in contact with him and visited his compound at one point. When she told him she wanted to leave, he raped her before allowing her to go.

So yeah, it wasn’t all just silly running for president while living on a boat he frequently searched for stowaway spies due to deep paranoia (combined with knowing that he’d done things to make it realistic that authorities might really be trying to get him) and making shirtless videos while heavily armed. But I did think the same as you before hearing that episode.

I wonder what this timeline would be like if he had accepted that his submarine idea was naive despite the good intentions and just paid to have a nice setup with comfortable tents and catered food for the divers and kids as they got out of the cave (plus their families). Instead of attacking the guy and showing the world who he was, kicking off a cycle of him lashing out at his falling popularity, resulting in it falling even more, then more lashing out, etc.

Even if he was like that the whole time, he might have kept his mask on instead of leaning into it, probably would have never made that offer for Twitter, might have tried to appear neutral instead of joining Trump’s campaign.

Though hard to say because the self-driving bs and cybertruck would have still happened and might have kicked off that cycle anyways.

This has all been an elaborate illusion created by Chris Angel.

Roll a charisma check.

They might have set up the user agreement for it. Stackexchange did and their whole business model was about catching businesses where some worker copy/pasted code from a stackexchange answer and getting a settlement out of it.

I agree with you in principle (hell, I’d even take it further and think only trademarks should be protected, other than maybe a short period for copyright and patent protection, like a few years), but the legal system might disagree.

Edit: I’d also make trademarks non-transferrable and apply to individuals rather than corporations, so they can go back to representing quality rather than business decisions. Especially when some new entity that never had any relation to the original trademark user just throws some money at them or their estate to buy the trust associated with the trademark.

Guess I’m one of the few. No idea what to expect, watched it because it was Hal. Then some guys make fun of his disabled son and he walks out of the store while his wife is hoping he’d do something, and I thought “ah, shit, this won’t be any good, Hal is a coward in this one”. And then he walks through the front door and punches them out, and they hooked me with that scene because Hal was a badass. And he kept being a badass, to the point where I didn’t even really care about the morality (first viewing at least, I hated him the second viewing, though he’s still entertaining to watch) and just wanted to watch Hal take over or burn down the world. It’s a wild ride, even after multiple viewings.

Better Call Saul is even better, though I found that one dragged a bit at the start and it took a couple tries to get into it.
