On Linux there is “onedriver”, a 3rd party onedrive client. Works great, but iirc not with sharepoint shares linked in your onedrive folder.

Could be, my kids have identical pc’s, but the disks are different. One has a slower ssd and its symptoms are exactly how you described, I knew it was slower but it’s all I had around. Both pc’s have SATA ssds. We’re saving for new disks, which I’m sure will alleviate the symptoms.

At work a similar problem with Windows server. The hosting company changed the IO tier and like snow these issues disappeared. Clicking start and waiting for it to open would take a minute, completely unacceptable, but ultimately fixed by having faster storage.

I’m not saying Microsoft is doing good work, I’m suggesting a workaround until they do, which we both know is very probably never.

They already pushed out older hardware with Windows 11, they won’t care about slower storage options.

I have that problem on my son’s pc. It’s definitely an io issue. A faster disk would solve the problem.

Yes, definitely

Of course he’s cool with AI taking his job, he’s got a golden parachute for early retirement

Nobody sees it that way, nobody notices what we notice. They don’t know any alternatives, it has new features so it’s innovating, it does what they want/need. I hear no complaints, only from tech people who are invested in privacy and digital sovereignty. That’s the reality.

They stopped?

I didn’t know those existed. I read they just stay at 1.5 until they run out. Now I’m not sure what mine are, if they exhibit this behavior 🤔

Hear me out

I need some context, this joke is suddenly everywhere

“Linux and Mac are toxic this year”

Wat. Toxic how? Why this year?

They went straight from Left 2 Dead to Left 4 Dead

Do you happen to remember any of the brands/types?

You can find YouTube videos of people doing this for the GG TV Tuner. Usually involves a VCR iirc.

The biggest culprit is probably the CCFL tube backlight.

Fwiw, should you need it, there are AA lithium batteries with a usbc slot for charging and they deliver 1.5v. I bought a pack out of curiosity and was very pleasantly surprised.

I have this. It’s been on my wishlist ever since I was little and now that i have some disposable income I bought it. Unfortunately the analog signal has been disabled for years, but there’s a jack on the tuner that allows you to connect composite video (with a special cable to go from the yellow, red and white to a single 3.5mm jack).

I played some Xbox on it, for the novelty. The screen is small, the resolution is low, the lcd isn’t very clear in some cases, … I love it.

There are special kits to replace the screen with a modern crisp led screen, but they are not compatible with the tuner, something to keep in mind.

I have several game gears so have some first hand experience.

90s batteries didn’t last long. Regular batteries are 1.5V, rechargeable are 1.2V. When freshly charged they can be around 1.4V, but the game gear will quickly “detect” the voltage dropping and start indicating low battery.

Older batteries didn’t hold as much charge as modern batteries do. You can go hours now with rechargeable batteries, but it used to be different.

As a kid, I had a game gear fanny pack that held the device, some games and all the batteries I could cram in there, which was a lot.

Why is this tweet laid over a checkered background?

My homemade pizzas are always a mountain of toppings. I usually go with bell peppers, mushrooms, fresh onions cut in rings, and (un)canned tuna. Sometimes artichoke if I come by it, and/or olives if I have em around. Finish with mozzarella… now I’m hungry :(
