For anyone wondering what the issues with sleep in windows are, the problem is that instead of using traditional S3 sleep (suspend to RAM) Microsoft has been pushing hard for "Modern Standby" where insted of only the RAM being powered the whole system is powered on and kept in a low power mode.

In theory this can provide a shorted wake time (because apparently the approx 5 seconds provided by S3 sleep isn't good enough). The problem is that Windows will sometimes wake up to do maintenance and drain your battery.

You might be able to fix it by disabling Modern Standby (also called S0ix, Connected Standby and S2Idle)in your BIOS. Unfortunetly a lot of modern BIOSes no longer offer the option to disable it and even sometimes lack support for traditional S3 sleep.

A new NES emulator was briefly available on the Apple App Store (www.theverge.com)

Now, clicking on a link to Bimmy shows “This app is currently not available in your country or region.” This time, it wasn’t Apple that removed it but the developer. Over on MacRumors’ forums, the developer said it pulled the app “out of fear.” ...

Yuzu didn't distribute keys. You had to obtain them yourself. The problems were that:

  • They distributed software that would decrypt the games once provided with the keys (which is apparently illegal).
  • They used leaked versions of TOTK to develop the emulator.
  • They openly talked about piracy in their discord.

Note that I don't actually know for sure. This is just what I saw online.

I believe it works by obtaining a real licence from Microsoft servers. Since MS wants to get everybody to move from 7 to 10/11 the only thing required to upgrade a win 7 install to 10 or 11 is an installation ID. And you can reuse the same installation ID infinitely.

Intresting. But I'm curious about the performance.

A bigger LLM (mixtral) already struggles to run on my mid-range gaming PC. Trying to run an LLM that isn't terrible on a standard laptop wouldn't be a good experience.

Most people probably don't have a dedicated GPU and an iGPU is probably not powerfull enough to run an LLM at decent speed. Also a decent model requires like 20GB of RAM which most people don't have.

What's wrong with world? (serious question) I know that ml has tankies and such but I've never heard of issues with world.

Bandicoot_Academic ,

Can you use the Vision Pro while wearing glasses? I can use my Quest without special lenses because i can just wear my glasses while using it.

Bandicoot_Academic ,

That sounds like a problem with the graphics drivers

Bandicoot_Academic ,

Maybe for the OS. Still the BIOS/UEFI requires phisical RAM to boot
