Last post by Redaktion - Today at 14:30:40
Garmin has finally acknowledged the existence of ongoing soft-brick issues on Venu Sq 2 and Venu Sq 2 Music smartwatches. Unfortunately, the company has not provided a timeline for releasing a resolution, let alone what has caused the problem in the first place.

I don't really get why you complain about this list not adhering to your specific needs as if other people couldn't have other needs and find this list helpful.
Is he complaining? Who is seriously doing 8-hour long work without taking a 15-30 minute break once?

Who is doing an 8-hour long workday out in the wilderness without a single plug anywhere in their near proximity? How do they get internet connectivity there? Why would they voluntarily travel many hours each day to work at the top of the mountain or in the middle of some large desert?

Then the most important question - who in the right mind is doing any kind of longer work anywhere in any kind of urban area, such as at their desk in their office, with a plug being literally 20-30 cm away from their laptop but they think "Naaah, I'll keep working on battery, no time to pop the charger in, it's only 9 am."? And then they work their whole day at the office without taking a single break to go to the toilet or to eat something so their laptop simply cannot get charged not even for 10 minutes? And if it can, why would they immediately unplug it?

(Let's ignore the fact that most offices have multiple monitors and docks to connect laptops and provide power delivery to those same laptops.)

Or do people at home can't afford to pay their electricity bills so they have to have 15+ hours of battery life on a single charge (because they charge it at work)?

Please, name one single scenario, just one, where someone is 10+ hours away from any power outlet, like if they survive a plane crash deep in a jungle, and when their main thought is not to survive but to work, work, work, work. Wtf?

If this is your level of configuration, you fail. One needs to configure without using softwares (other than scripts collecting what otherwise would be done manually). For starters, see

home.snafu.de/jasiek/Windows10Telemetry.html
SU10++ does exactly that though, all at once instead of doing it manually 🤷�♂️ Why would you disable Windows Defender btw? The single most useful thing in Windows (both 10 and 11). With it disabled you have disabled most Windows Defender Firewall (that's the name, yes) settings including added outbound customizations. You also didn't block unicast response which is mandatory to do in (Windows Defender) Firewall (it's "yes" by default). Outbound connections go on block all, allow only necessary stuff. The rest is very good but I'm really not sure why are you against SU10++ when it literally does exactly the same thing except disabling Defender and tinkering around Firewall.

Quote from: RobertJasiek on Today at 13:50:48Such bugs in Windows are rare but there have been exceptional intentional code changes:

- during some major updates when Windows changes its appended name, such as 23H2
- the task scheduler's top level tasks tend to be reactivated unasked
They are rare but they happen. I mean Microsoft is still uncapable to fix KB5034441 in Windows 10 for 7 months at this point and if you want to manually fix it there's a high probability to brick your whole Win10 installation.

Yes, this article is about Snapdragon Elite and Plus so I'm talking about - the Snapdragon Elite and Plus features 🤔 Recall is coming to ARM chips with 40+ TOPS.

News / DDR6 RAM standard to launch in...
Last post by Redaktion - Today at 14:07:49
While DDR6 RAM modules could reach 17.6 or even 21 Gbps speeds with overclocking,  LPDDR6 modules used mainly for laptops and mobile devices would only cap out at 14.4 Gbps. Both standards will adopt the CAM2 form-factor, so desktop PC RAM modules would also connect in a parallel orientation to the motherboard.

German manufacturers are surely not happy about Tesla invading their turf... Sad to see them using these dirty tricks.

This would mean that Recall might be deactivated whenever a Windows update is not being installed.

Even so, when forced on us, I will check whether Recall Windows Services can be deactivated permanently.

Some of your complaints are weird 60+fps is playable, even 30fps is fine for an fps game.
