Wait! The only selling point of those "AI" PCs runs on non "AI" pcs?

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 26 points 10 hours ago (5 children)

So wait, did I miss a step or is this NOT the recall feature they announced for Copilot Plus PCs? None of the screen snapshots, none of the AI search.

As far as I can tell it's some variation on the logging search that was in Windows in Win8, right? At least when it comes to user-facing functionality.

EDIT: As far as I can tell, people mentioning this mean the full Recall feature, but even though the package shows up on my Copilot+ PC the functionality itself is nowhere to be seen. I'm still confused about this and relatively convinced something is being missed somewhere.

For FUCK sakes....

I have a 256GB SATA SSD machine here, that I want to put a fresh install of windows on a 1TB M.2

And NOW is the fucking time windows puts out this fucking Win11 24H2 garbage... that's BSOD'ing peoples computers, having other issues, and now this.

Microsoft has definitely not been a great tenant on dual boot systems over the past year. Usually you get the occasional MBR overwrite, but it’s been pretty bad. Windows has been assuming it’s the only OS.

I fixed a windows install for an old guy, and windows patched the BIOS to prevent F11 loading the boot menu....

Never again

Why do people still use that legacy proprietary malware-ridden morally obsolete operating system?

Normies doesn't care. Instead they watch brainrot content on TikTok

Does win10 vm run games well? (like power hungry games)

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 8 points 8 hours ago

I don’t recommend going that direction. I think you’ll get better results with Proton and Proton-based solutions like Lutris and family.

With GPU passthrough you can get almost native performance. This requires 2 GPUs though (iGPU as second one should suffice), dunno about the input lag and stability though as I only have one GPU

Without it though? Not even worth trying

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 1 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Someone in a previous post said they did it with one GPU, using a script to handle the swap when they were done with the VM.

I've tested it, and while it does work, there are some issues:

  1. The anti-cheat doesn't work for all games (delta force demo).
  2. Sometimes i had strange sound glitches.
  3. I had to use a second mouse. In certain games where you drag the camera (like Sins of a Solar Empire), the camera spins uncontrollably fast.
  4. It's not as fast or responsive, but good enough.
  5. Game Pass games don't run.

Because of these points, I still keep Windows 10 as a dual boot option.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I only play games that work native or via proton. I just use windows for the CAD programs that i need to use. I do gpu pass through and native for my host system idk how this would be for gaming tho.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 2 points 8 hours ago

I have heard, though not tried, that GPU passthrough works for those diminishingly few problematic games where a certain anti-cheat is the sticking point.
