up until now "something" was doing the scaling to 720p, 900p or 1440p(my current monitor).
Is it your monitor, though? Isn't it your graphics card these days? The GPUs have had scalers which made it basically free for a bunch of years. I would notice a resolution change on the TV I use for a monitor, in fact I do notice them when they occur, and no matter what I watch or play that never happens automatically.
I mean back when Windows came out, there was virtually no "power save" on PCs.
If you mean Windows 3.0, it was for the 286 and there was no power saving that wasn't vendor-specific. For example I have a GRiDPad 1910 and that has a sleep mode. If you mean a recognizable version of Windows NT, it was for the 386 and there was still no standard power saving.
If you wanted to suspend to disk, your BIOS would do that for you.
The OS still had to prepare itself for sleep.
ACPI came out in 1996, well past the prime of Windows.
Yes, but Intel and Microsoft brought out APM in 1992. Their collaboration is a major reason why power management was bad on Linux for years. Microsoft wrote the tools that vendors used to make the tables for power management that went into the BIOS. These tools produced different tables for Windows and for other operating systems. Part of how Linux got to have working power management is that it just started claiming to be Windows, and getting access to working tables.
He knows, but he doesn't care.
Forget handhelds, the whole concept of Windows is a bad joke. You start with a kernel created by the same people who did VMS, but then shit directly into it for years, and expect a good result?
"Neither Microsoft nor Asus would admit there's a problem or offer a timeline to fix it after repeated requests by The Verge. Asus said it needs more time to test."
Microsoft is Microsoft of course, whatever. ASUS used to be my first choice. Today they infamously have the worst support around, whether you're talking about tech support or warranty support. They are literally the last vendor you should consider when shopping for computer equipment, whether it's for gaming or not. This is the least surprising story ever posted to this site.
It's true that he has never EARNED income, but that's irrelevant to whether he should pay taxes on his ill-gotten goods.
I've been watching the Polygon 98 channel lately, and in order to understand it, I depend on automatic closed captioning and translation. Google botches this spectacularly at every turn. Some of it is understandable, like when there's a lot of loud engine noise. But it's also just generally inexplicable. Engine noise is captioned [music] or [applause]. Actual music is not noted. If they could improve their captioning that would produce a lot more benefit than upscaling some videos and creating shit that doesn't exist in them, which will inevitably happen.
and who's rights
whose
do you want to stomp on to rid yourself of this systemic injustice
Nobody's rights have to be stomped on for it.
Who do you want to censor?
Nobody who's not supposed to be censored now.
Who do you want to tax?
Those who profit most from systemic injustice.
Otherwise, we aren't talking about DEI, because that specifically calls for anti-white discrimination
False.
No, you just didn't hear from the idiots because no one gave them a soapbox to stand on.
Dementia is obviously not a disqualifier given the ficus that previously sat behind the Resolute Desk.
True, and raping children is obviously not either given who sits there now. I guess anyone really can become president, if they have the backing of the worst people imaginable anyway.
Actually, YOU have TDS induced dementia. You're also a useful idiot for the woke & deranged liberal/progressives.
Woke is not an insult, since it means being aware of and opposing systematic injustice. Only people who support abuse of other humans think that's bad.
Why is it so hard to make something pretty looking?
Why is it so hard for you to detect any of the many attractive themes for Linux DEs? IMO KDE looks better now than any version of Windows ever has. Maybe the problem is you.
But the irony here is the trump administration is just as woke as any supposedly woke liberal group out there, just woke in a right-wing way.
Uh, what? That's literally not a thing.
Woke means aware of systematic injustice and its effects and working to combat them. The right wing is the opposite of that.
It's wasn't racism it was just plain ordinary greed and might makes right.
Racism was used to excuse the actions. They're just savages, so it's OK! Bunch of idiots probably don't even understand property, right? Except a huge part of the way the whites "won" the west was to make treaties with native tribes so they wouldn't have to fight them, because if they had to fight all of them at once they would have lost. Then the whites broke literally every single one of those treaties.
If society should accept a death from automated cars, then they should also accept deaths from vaccinations.
The same people who are against vaccinations are the primary people who say you can pry the wheel of their dino burner from their cold dead hands.
