This: researchers find unfixable bug in apple computers (Low Level Learning @ YT) ?

Nothing official from Apple, they are aware about it since December 2023 but no update was pushed (or it was but everyone ignores it which I find unlikely). M4 is supposed to have no problem of that kind, time will tell.

sorry @ edhun:

I've mixed up your question with something else: I thought you were talking about the recent issue of allegedly deleted photos reappearing on iPhones again (which is an issue on 2nd hand devices). And only that issue was fixed yesterday.

But you probably meant another issue with "unauthorized access to encrypted data". I do not know any details about that, sorry. That issue might still exist.

Quote from: RobertJasiek on Today at 13:01:14IYO, what bloat remains after your (insufficient?) debloating efforts?

The fact that you have to do various kinds of workarounds to use local account on installation ([email protected] still works in 24H2, tried it yesterday) is a forced bloat on its own. There is simply too much to list because everything not needed to operate is a bloat by definition. Tracking users' activities is a bloat; you can use ShutUp10++ and disable everything and W11 will still enable options on another update (literal bloat) so you have to disable them again just for some of them to still stay active (which you can verify with netstat -a and see what's calling where).

It can be turned off, it can't be removed so it stays there in the OS, thus again - literal definition of a bloat. And "bug" will happen sooner or later when it will activate itself on its own after a random update, similar to Apple's recent bug of restoring long-deleted photos on iPhones and iPads. "It's just a bug."

Quote from: Hotz on Today at 13:11:29Haven't looked up anything else, but these many incompatibilities are exactly the reason why I wouldn't buy a Qualcomm PC now. This surely needs to mature first.

Yep, this. Or simply use Linux once the updated kernel is ready (and Qualcomm works on that). Until we see reviews this seems like a perfect Linux chip but far from perfect Windows chip, that alone says more about the OS than the chip though.

Also... Half-Life 2 -> Unplayable.

which otherwise runs on every Linux system, and potato computers.

Just checked the site, for some of the games I actively play. People have a very loose definition of "perfect".

For example:

• Age of Empires 2 DE runs at 24.82 fps (need 45 minimum)
• Counter Strike 2 runs at 75 fps (need 120 minimum)

Both are clearly not playable at that level of performance, especially not Counter Strike 2 where frame timings are horrendous and average od 75 is around 20 fps 1% lows. There is more but I'm lazy to keep listing because it's all 20-50 fps nonsense categorized as "perfect". Right...
