@C0D4 Just wasted 5 hours trying to figure it out. I've tried almost everything including psexec, wmic and even a custom C# clien-server program, but nothing worked. At the end I almost went to check the battery in my CO detector because I started to think that I'm hallucinating.

Ended up using a remote Invoke-Command form powershell which finally worked. Who would have thought that such a seemingly simple task will waste so many hours of productivity...

@zemaitis Fucking with the group policy or the registry shouldn't be part of "configuring windows". Not even for the advanced user. There should be a big-ass button on the installer that says "opt out of all updates" and maybe show a warning or something.

@Fast-Nop More like an electric beluga whale with shark teeth all over it's fucking body.

I'm currently waiting to get a new GPU, and then I will finally be able to move to linux for good, and only ever interact with winshit again in a VM with all networking disabled. Good fucking luck downloading the updates from localhost you sick worthless degenerate fucking cunt rapeware.

If you're about to comment something like "bUt wHY dO YOu uSe wIndOWs iF YoU hAtE iT sOm muCh?", please save it for another rant because you will be ignored.

@jay91 It's actually very complex because I need to re-implement the inside-out tracking.

I don't know about other devices. Outside-in tracking is probably more straightforward.

@jay91 Because of VR. I dont want my $400 oculus to become a paperweight.

Also I am currently transitioning to Arch (dual booting) and I'm working on a linux driver for the oculus rift s.

@Nanos Oh no! Whatever will I do without Bing?

@saucyatom Nice reference!

@olback Definitely not 2.0. I've used my phone as a 1080p webcam with basically no latency before.

Also changed the update server to the intranet ip address "fuck your mom". I think its valid ipv4 so windows should be able to parse it and connect to it to download the next downgrade.

Fixed it. Changed every setting regarding the windows update ransomware in the group policy editor.

@Oktokolo Windows 10

@C0D4 I remember him saying that, and honestly I can't argue with it.

@N00bPancakes oh and I forgot to mention... IT ONLY POPS UP WHEN I OPEN INSOMNIA, NOT WHEN I'M NOT EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT FOR FUCKS SAKE

@N00bPancakes update notifications should be as small and non-intrusive as possible. For example, Insomnia does it very well. It's just a small rectangle on the lower right corner, and I can chose to ignore it without having to click an extra close button or being locked out of main window focus.

@Berkmann18 Eh, a couple years ago it was the first google result for "how to I control my linux from windows"

@SortOfTested The problem is that CLion uses the mingw toolchain by default.

@heyheni I don't have any experience with docker. Maybe this would be a great opportunity to start learning it.

@Parzi I am keeping my software up to date. My memory is pretty bad nowadays, but somehow I don't remember complaining about security.

I am complaining about the front-end UI design decisions. I didn't even mention security. Not sure where you pulled that one out from.

@NoToJavaScript @HughRant I'm talking about the visual studio installer. That separate program that lets you manage components in VS. Every time I open it there is a new update, and it's not even a popup, it forces me to update and restart the program.

Whiskey. Vodka is just water + alcohol.

@Stuxnet I guess you're right. It still dominates the world, and since most big boi companies aren't interested in developing their software for linux, this will probably never change.

@SortOfTested Avalonia is completely cross platform, it supports Windows, Linux and Mac.

@RememberMe It just happened to me in .NET Core. That's not event C or C++. Maybe the backend has stuff written in one of those languages, but that's not my code. This is C# for fucks sake, there should be no fucking segfault.

Maybe it detects today's date and that's why it's trying to fuck me in the ass. Not funny at all.

@bahua No. These settings are all video-related. They are in the VideoQXL XML file of qemu.

The system gets 4 gigs of ram.

@M1sf3t Ah this might be the problem. In the xml it says type=qxl, ram=65536, vram=65536 and vgamem=16384. Which one should I increase? I assume vgamem?

Oh nevermind I found the log. It ran out of memory. I give up.

Trying to install win10 on qemu, windows logo and the spinner thingy appear for about 5 seconds and then the VM crashes.. :/

Sorry to be bothering you guys, this is probably not the right place to get tech support. Might open a thread on superuser so.

@Demolishun Yes, I have installed the thing.

@djsumdog @bahua I will give qemu a try.
