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.

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.

The OS still had to prepare itself for sleep.

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.

I'm convinced that's a big part ofthe reason for our curent descent into fascism. I'm part of the younger cohort of Gen-X. My grandparents' generation were the original Antifa. Only they didn't pussyfoot around like the current iteration does. They way THEIR generation delt with poeple like richard spencer, stephen miller, stormtrooper barbie, their brown-shirted henchmen in ICE CBP and DHS, and the rest of their kind, was to drop high explosives on them by the tonne from B-17s and Lancasters; of, if it was for some reason necessary to get up close and personal, to cut out their living goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of their tanks.

But most of them are dead now and cannot tell their stories. My cohort of my generation are the youngest people now who were old enough to grow up with, and have adult conversations with, the World War 2 generation. I grew up with my grandparents and their buddies in the Masonic Lodge telling stories about island hopping in the Pacific as SeaBees, landing their crippled B-17 in the English Channel after not bailing out because he couldn't swim and setpping from the plane onto the rescue boat hever having even gotten a foot wet, hauling ass through the deserts of North Africa in dune buggies while machine-gunning nazi airplanes. And when I got into my late teens and 20s, one past-Master of the lodge told us about what he saw when his unit got to the camps.

I will never forget what those men told me. Because of what those men told me I will never, EVER, support, aid, or have even the smallest or empathy for any fascists in any form, or their enablers or symphasizers. Because of what those men told me I will forever support Antifa in any form. In fact, I wish it really WERE an actual organization that I coule offer more support than moral. I will forever honor their legacy and what they did directly for this country and the world and indirectly for me when they were too goddamned young to be asked to bear the responsibility they were given. I will forever be greatful to the greatest generation.

But they were also people I knew persionaly. I grew up with them. I was even part of a Masonic youth group named after a Templar for which Master Masons were the advisors; so, for a kid, I was at the lodge a lot. I loved some of them as family and others as may-as-well-be-family. To me they are real. Their lives are real. Their stories are real. Their history is real. To the younger generations though? They did not grow up with those people and their lives and stories. To people who did not grow up around WW2 vets, that's just all trivia for the history test before they move on to the latest tweet or tiktok. I really do think that a lot of people have missed out on a LOT... particularly the perspectives that came from fighting... REALLY fighting... to destroy fascists. And I would bet good money that if that generation were still around; we would not be where we are in this country today.

Maybe they can start putting USB sticks on magazines like they used to do with 3.5" floppies back in the day? That would... well... it might at least increase the demand for the brand name.

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.

Nobody's rights have to be stomped on for it.

Nobody who's not supposed to be censored now.

Those who profit most from systemic injustice.

False.

No, you just didn't hear from the idiots because no one gave them a soapbox to stand on.

II, too, do not know what he means by "innovation." It sounds like standard CEO conference-speak blather to me. How do you "innovate" in gaming when your staff's top priority is clinging desperately to their jobs?

Maybe you should read the comments more critically and inform yourself on what sarcasm is.

Oh, and Dr. Zim has a doctorate in theology.

Youtube is filled with influencers implying they are medical doctors because they allegedly have doctorates in unrelated fields.

Oh, and our President is so smart he has a relative that taught the Unabomber at MIT. Modern society rewards pathological liars, qualifications are meaningless.

Yes. I'd say further that opinion vs. advice is critical, and the OP said opinion.
