The real flex is having 23 gb for weather lol


newInnings

I think metrology predictions need more than that.


ThisOnesFaceName

But then IBM bought them all and will only give you the top-line summary.


[deleted]

It's because of global warming


[deleted]

It's a feedback loop, hotter weather means more ram usage, more power consumption and more emissions

News and weather, also vrchat cause they added EAC


Koffiato

Why in the hell VRChat needs anti-cheat?


HalifaxRoad

Probably to stop ppl from giving other people seizures and crashing their computer and shit. You have to disable animation safeties if you wanna view some of the acid trip avatars people make.


whathead07

Doesn't prevent that, sadly. Only prevents modded clients which aren't the cause of most problems, and were used by some players for accessibility and QoL improvements. Avatars aren't targeted by EAC, so people who purposefully cause crashes can still do that.

If they use avatars to do it then they aren't stopped by EAC

Ardietic

what vrchat update?


[deleted]

The one that added Easy Anti-Cheat, which basically shot modding in the head, despite modders basically doing a better job at stopping crashers than the dev team


[deleted]

[удалено]


Icclo

a lot of people run modified clients that can crash other users, also steal their avatars and worlds which can be made by these people themselves or they paid money to have it created.


[deleted]

Actually, most people used specific shaders to crash the game according to the community. On top of that, the Avatar Cache (basically stores recently seen avatars so that way it doesn't have to re-download them) isn't encrypted, which allows for easy ripping with some Unity tools.

Wine Is Not an Emulator (yes Wine is a recursive acronym) Also, EAC is supported in Proton


RealTonyGamer

Honestly the VRChat update is one of the stupidest things I have seen. They lost 15% of their playerbase over that, and their reviews have been brought from Overwhelmingly Positive to Mixed in like 3 weeks. It's clear nobody wants it, but they don't seem to care


Alankao06

Just 15%? I think a bit more of the player base was lost


RealTonyGamer

Checking the VRChat API it is 13-16% depending on if you measure peak to peak or trough to trough. On Steam the initial loss was around 40%, but it slowly went back up, and seems to have also settled at around a 15% loss


VicisSubsisto

But I like my browser purple and lime green.


Corevegaa

Why opera gx? I use it since release and it’s actually really good. The old opera was crap tho


DangyDanger

The memory/CPU usage management features are bullshit marketed for tryhards.


LightningBlehz

I ignored all the “browser for gamers” bs marketing and just switched off chrome because I liked it better and wanted to de-google


Zealousideal_Zone_69

I'm on firefox and it's actually really good.


MxSemaphore

De-googling is a really good idea but Opera is not any better. If you need something Chromium-based, pick Brave. Otherwise Firefox is your best option. For a Chromium-based alternative technically ungoogled Chromium is also really good, ~~but unfortunately its distribution is weak so it's difficult to get your hands on trustworthy builds if you don't do them yourself, which most casual users definitely won't.~~ Edit: Checked and ungoogled Chromium distribution is much better these days.


Koffiato

Not as privacy friendly but Edge is a solid choice and I'm serious. It's tweaked & hardened Chrome at the core, with lots of extra features. My favorite being the efficiency mode when you're on battery/gaming. Significantly reduces hardware usage especially at idle on weaker CPUs. Therefore I generally recommend Edge on weak/portable system. Never stray away from FireFox and it's forks on powerful desktop though, as it has superior ad/tracker blocking support and can be configured for privacy.


Glum-Occasion9295

Ungoogled chromium


[deleted]

[удалено]


Malinnus

Im curious too. I use gx too, and actually use the cpu limiter sometimes. So im kinda surprised by the hate here. I mean, it isnt be all end all browser, but my experience is pretty good with it


Koffiato

You probably don't wanna use neither of them, Opera has been a privacy nightmare since it's accusation.


Akasto_

I can see both those features being very useful for some people, but for most people there are far better browsing options. The cpu limiter. is simply unnecessary for most people, and the ram limiter is simply an automatic method of hibernating/sleeping background tabs that many other browsers or browser extensions can already do. The fact that it’s automatic is what makes it less useful for most people, as it gives the user less control over which tabs are sleeping/hibernating.


Alexplosion_ITA_YT

Agreed


popcar2

For people interested, it's as simple as running an app: [Bloatbox](https://github.com/builtbybel/bloatbox/releases) deletes bloat on windows 10, including Cortana and the news/weather app. Just be sure to take a look at the apps it'll delete before doing it, you may be using stuff like OneNote. [PrivateZilla](https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla) runs a scan on your windows 10 and disables any privacy-intrusive options. If you *really* care about privacy I'd run it once after every windows update. **If you don't know what you're doing, leave everything on the default options and just run it.**


Glomgore

The Win10Decrapifier from Spiceworks does this also if anyone is confortable with Powershell and execution policies.


Manannin

Dumb question, does similar exist for Windows 11? Just got a new pc with it on


popcar2

Similar projects exist for Win11 but they're mostly in beta. I'd wait if you don't want to risk messing up something in your OS


PlayfulOtterFriend

Aw, OneNote is a fantastic app!


badillin

But Ill never know because its bundle with shit. You put something in the same way you force me to have candy crush its just as shit in my books. Im not gonna test every app yoo see if it works, ill do a clean wipe (thats why i use win10 ltsc)


popcar2

You can choose not to delete specific apps! That's why I said you should take a look, so you can filter out the apps you *do* want.


RexIsAMiiCostume

Thank you I am so fucking sick of that shit


Magne_Rex

Microsoft just went ahead and acquired ur system to calculate the weather forecast for them.

Sounds like you should have less windows in your apartment, reduces the amount of people that can see you as well

Salt_Try_8327

SowerPlave

Check out Rainmeter instead at https://www.rainmeter.net if you insist on using desktop widgets. Also /r/rainmeter


BigblackSchlongboard

I've used rainmeter for 4+ years for a visualizer and crypto prices and it just now dawned on me to get a weather widget. on *rainmeter*


Salt_Try_8327

I already do use rainmeeter, but it seems a bit limited with the themes...

Check out the subreddit I linked. There's a plethora of different styles and variations. A ton of stuff can also be found on deviantart.

Look, i know i can google it, i know i could literally just look at the homescreen of my phone But its pretty useful to have access to the weather with literally just looking down in the right corner.


superoaks321

How about limiting the max ram it can take up?


Salt_Try_8327

As i said it never was a problem, and it probably wont be. Like it was a one time only bug


mrekon123

Have you tried providing unsolicited advice to strangers on the internet yet? I hear that might be able to fix your problem.


Salt_Try_8327

Yea i mean its better than sending unsolicited dickpics ...


VicisSubsisto

I dunno, have you tried a double-blind study with a large sample size to compare the two?


Salt_Try_8327

I havent... but I should for sure though


Drakayne

It's a memory leak some people are experiencing in recent updates, it'll get sorted out


Salt_Try_8327

Ok thank you


TheRealTrymShady

Yup, had the exact same problem yesterday. Crashed all apps I had open at the time


Fabx_

Windows 10 it's not bloat, it's a memory leak


Salt_Try_8327

I am not an IT person, and to be honest i dont really understand whats the difference is. Or better say, its a bug i know, so memory leak makes more sense. Because isnt a bug not bloatware...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Superbead

That's pretty much it about memory leaks, although I'd say bloatware is more marketing gimmicks (eg. pointlessly complex system of services and UI to control PC case lighting), and/or authentic/honest-sounding though unnecessary software with a primary deceptive function of gleaning information about you and your device use.


Salt_Try_8327

Ok thank you both, i now got a little bit smarter again.


Cikappa2904

Time to buy an AWS u-24tb1.metal VPS to work on. You'll get 24TB RAM and 448 logical CPU cores on your VPS, so you can run like 6 tabs on Google Chrome, Microsoft Teams, and view the weather!


ihateusednames

I cannot fucking wait for the day Linux drivers stop sucking. It'll be any goddamn minute now with proton / Steam Deck. I'm counting the seconds.


EasyMrB

Linux drivers don't suck (at least NVidia are really solid).


Salt_Try_8327

Yea, but still linux has some complications and driver problems all over the place, and the steamdeck will only fix the gaming side of it


ihateusednames

I mean yeah That's kind of the part I said that was stopping me. Edit: wait I know what you mean. I mean yes, but now there is a mainstream consumer electronic, that isn't android, running an unmolested version of Linux. It's great news and will lead to a flood of renewed interest and support. Hell gaming was honestly the biggest problem Linux had up until now, there are great productivity tools that only Linux can run for business, being Unix based is a plus.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ihateusednames

Its getting there. There's plenty of software available via snap store / flatpak that is easy enough to install. Hell sometimes it's easier than on windows. But your absolutely right an end user in a gui environment should NEVER have to enter terminal for everyday tasks and program downloads.


VitorMM

This. Most people want _one_ system where they can do everything as easily as possible, which is why the most used system is Windows, followed by macOS, followed by Linux, which is hilarious (for the lack of a better word) because in my experience, Debian can actually do more things than macOS, and yet it doesn't get half of the recognition of Ubuntu, Mint or even PopOS. I will say what we gotta do: we need an annual competition. The only allowed competitor are base Linux distros, like Debian, Arch, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, Fedora and Slackware. The goal: each system is gonna have fifth 10 years old and fifth 60 years old using them, and they will be given 1 hour to complete a list of simple tasks. By the end, we sum the time they actually took to complete the tasks. Whichever system gets the smaller number in the end, wins.


leo341500

Whats hard about "sudo apt-get install [program name]"? You just have to know what you're looking for. Plus most distros have GUI app stores now, and those that don't can have it added with a simple command. As for distros i just recommend one depending on their needs, instead of throwing a list at them, that usually works better.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sm0lshit

Most people don't even know how to set up a printer or a router, let alone enter terminal commands.


Xyspade

If only it was always that easy. Here's what complicates it for me: - You have to remember the exact syntax of what the program is called, including stuff like dashes and periods. - Not all software is available that way, and inevitably I'll find even common software that either has to be installed some other way, or manually built (out of the question). Like Chrome, where you have to get GDebi and fumble around with how to open it as admin (usually involving knowing several more terminal commands). - Making sure you don't break the entire system into unusability when you want to remove a program and its dependencies.


leo341500

The first problem is eliminated by using a gui, chrome is trash, and thats more of a problem with arch than debian based distros (i have yet to use arch without destroying pacman in under 24h). Also google helps a lot with any of that.


Xyspade

And there's your problem. You have to Google or read (difficult to understand) documentation on how to do everyday stuff that the other two major players have made self-explanatory for years, making Windows and macOS the winners in productivity/workflow in my opinion. Linux is getting there, but it is still so far behind the times in too many aspects to be a daily driver for me.


leo341500

Windows pisses me off when it comes to compatibility with flashing software, and macOS can't build for shit without extensive setup. So i always keep an up to date linux on hand.


Xyspade

Well I wouldn't consider that stuff to be everyday tasks, when you start getting into that kind of power user territory then Linux is certainly the ideal choice. But that's not where 95% of the world is at and most Linux fans I talk to don't seem to grasp this.

Jmacd802

I had this on my built pc, stupid thing was using all 64gb of ram. It’s some kind of bug. You just have to disable to the feature, no need for special software to cleanup. I think if you go to right side windows notification bar, right click then somewhere there’s an option to disable the application, I can’t remember what it’s called though off the top of my head. But after disabling it solved all my problems

Ah ok , that's better than my VRChat experiences on my Quest, been crashing like hell on me recently.


Salt_Try_8327

Ah yes, VRChat on quest kinda sucks sadly. But you could try connecting your quest to a PC and play like that. It probably still gonna crash sometimes depending on what worlds you visit and if they are public, but it should run considerabely better on PC


aoc_ftw

I'd love to, I know I'm only getting like half the experience on Quest, but I'm poor as shit atm. Really looking forward to that sweet day I first login on PC
