I once met a person that never drank water, only soft drinks. It’s not the unhealthiness of this that disturbed me, but the fact they did it without the requisite paperwork.
Unlike those disorganised people I have a formal waiver. I primarily drink steam and crushed glaciers.
This is something HP should have handled.
If a bad update is rolled out then it’s the responsibility of the software maker partner (HP) and the distributor (Microsoft), not just one or the other.
Those laptops are THEIR products, not Microsoft’s.
Both Microsoft and HP have branding on their laptops and a responsibility post-sale for the reliability of their systems. Hardware, firmware and OS responsibilities are all party to this chain of failure.
And they claim cheap SMRs don’t exist yet xD
Here they are in an MSY (Australia) catalog from 2012:
Ritmo == SHAW == A-Power, all were in-house brands at MSY. I suspect the 1500W and 1200W might have been the same thing with varying amounts of lying, but perhaps they did also size the components slightly differently.
You have nothing on the Tri-Fan 1200W https://www.crazysales.com.au/online-ritmo-force-1200-tri-fan-gaming-power-supply-2-3v-8373.html
Dear Take Two,
If you want to port GTA3 and VC to mobile then I would recommend looking at the re3/revc project. Fans have already put lots of effort into making the games work on modern systems, patching many bugs and making things more portable. Last I checked there already was a Nintendo Switch port.
Oh wait.
I think it will take insane amounts of effort to wrangle the model into not doing its own thing. Possibly more than the amount of effort it takes to animate manually.
“Yes this is brilliant, now generate just a few more se… why have you added a clone of my character? What? And why have the emotions on the faces of the other two swapped again? Arghh it’s confusing the subjects again! Now the room has started strobing too, goddammit this is a bathtub not a disco!”

Lethal company, I’ve been joining random people online and seeing how it goes. I got some good tea advice from a random New Zealand tweenager, that has turned out to be worth the price of the game alone (continues sipping rooibos).
I was playing SWAT 4 until recently, but I don’t feel a need to finish it as the gameplay didn’t seem evolve or change much after about halfway through. Voice acting is great, team AI is great, but once you discover non-lethal weapons the challenge disappears (and higher difficulties are impossible if you give your teammates lethal weapons). The popular Elite Force mod makes some nice changes, but sadly everyone overall now feels even easier and more repetitive.

Filthy casual.
My family has a Chiq U58G7P. Warm boots take about 30 sec and cold boots a few minutes.
Don’t try and press any buttons on the remote during this time or for a minute or two afterwards. They might work, 15 seconds later, or they might get ignored. Sometimes your button press inputs get re-ordered too.
Factory resets do work, but then all it can do is broadcast TV. If you let it update and install streaming apps then you will be back to the same problems.
I suspect that it might be running out of RAM and thrashing some poor innocent MMC as swap, but I can’t find a USB ADB port to properly find out (maybe it has one internally?).

Any other way to see this? Or is this show not freely available (ie you have to pay for it)?

Nice, ty. I’ve only revenged PC firmware, not embedded, so I wouldn’t think of several of those tools.
I know a model of HP inkjet from my childhood that had a service/factory mode where ink checks were disabled. After years of claiming that its carts were empty I was suddenly able to print perfect full-colour pages. RIP HP Photosmart 3110
Congrats :) The idea that a few software bits are between you and getting a pile of junk working is infuriating. Did you extract and modify an image from flash or find a way in live?
Ditto with my printer. Print over LAN: sure. Printer connect to internet: hell no, that’s the first-party version of printer malware.

I am not so sure that it will end up faster or better.
**In theory: **A CPU scheduler should give programs as much CPU time as they want until you start nearing CPU resource saturation. Discord doesn’t need very large amounts of CPU (admittedly it’s a lot more than it should for a text chap app, but it’s still not diabolically bad). It will only start getting starved when you are highly utilising all cores. That can happen on my 2-core laptop, but I don’t have any games on my 6 core desktop that will eat everything. Nonetheless on my laptop I’d probably prefer my games take the resources (not Discord) and I’d happily suffer any reasonable drop in responsiveness of Discord as a result.
I don’t think that a new process (a new dedicated browser-client) instead of a new thread (tab in existing browser) is intrinsically faster or better. CPU schedulers are varied and complex, I wouldn’t be surprised if any differences in performance measurements would end up down in the noise. If anything the extra memory usage might cause more IO contention and memory starvation, making everything slower rather than faster. But this is all conjecture, so don’t give it much credit.
Basically, it’s faster to focus on painting a single canvas than it is to painting 3 at the same time.
I don’t think that’s much of a problem in practice, at least for Firefox: one tab can crash and stop rendering completely (or lock up 100% of 1 CPU core) but the others will keep going in other threads. For the most part they shouldn’t be able to affect each other’s performance.
In practice: What’s the actual metric that you think will be better or worse? I assume responsiveness to typing and clicks in the discord UI?
I’ve never seen discord lag or stutter from causes other than IO limitations (startup speed, network traffic, heavy IO on my machine) or silly design (having to refresh the page after leaving it open all day, I suspect it’s intentionally auto-disabling but I’m not sure). That’s not something that running a separate discord client in a separate dedicated/embedded browser will fix.

Summary: two Silicon Power P34A80’s died within a few months of use, the second one was the warranty replacement of the first. In both cases sectors suddenly became permanently unreadable.
Smart locks are worse. They have all the insecurity of a regular lock, plus more methods of insecurity, plus more failure modes that will shut you out of your house.

Windows update fetches all sorts of things now. If the hardware advertises X device then Windows update will check if it has anything for it. Approved vendors can provide all sorts of guff. Historically that has included drivers that intentionally brick your devices. HP probably packaged up some software that updates the BIOS and got it into the Windows Update DBs.
