So what's the known issue?

If you don't use a semicolon directly in MySQL it won't do anything until you add it.

I didn't say I couldn't fix the issues, but the fact that some of those issues exist even since XP is pretty bad. Just search around online and you'll find many posts about these driver issues. And then there's all of the ui inconsistencies and issues. Most of those are small, but still annoying once you see them. Especially when using Windows on a tablet, even Microsoft's own Surface line.

For HP ZBooks for example there was an issue that completely prevented you from installing some updates like Windows 10 20H2 without any warning as to why it wouldn't install. It just failed at 61%. It turned out to be audio drivers for the audio chip in the dock. The only way to get it updated was to connect the dock, finding the audio device in device management and removing it. Then disconnect before Windows reinstalls the driver again.

This has happened for multiple versions.

Try Windows. It regularly breaks drivers (not only WiFi) on some hardware (mostly HP). I've never had issues with WiFi on Linux on HP, Dell, Microsoft Surface and even a Macbook.

What kind of oven do you have that warms up in 4 minutes?

[–] mellejwz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Exactly, most, if not all, os's do this.

Ram usage is really nothing to worry about depending on the amount you have. Windows will free ram where needed as long as there is enough. If ram is not being used by applications it will be used for other things (it will be cached I believe?). If almost no ram is being used it means some things might take longer to load.

Windows on my Surface Go 2 used about 3-4GB of ram when idle, while on my work laptop with 64GB ram it uses about 10-12GB. But if necessary applications can use some of that ram that's normally being used in idle.

I do agree about Linux distros being faster, that's my experience as well.

I seem to remember that Carbon also doesn't need Origin, or am I wrong? I also think that it was awesome.

Not really, it's a pretty simple command that not everyone uses anyway. -s is for shutdown, -t for time. There are more complicated things in the Windows command line interface.

Nope, I use it all the time if I'm going home from work. Works like a charm.

Windows + r, shutdown -s -t 0, enter

It's relevant because it's there. If you don't play those parts it doesn't mean it's there. They put the time in other things more important to the game than transitions. Also, the engine is completely different.
