I shall yoink that, thank you very much.

delete this

i tried to sleep and now i can’t, thanks lmao

I honestly vastly prefer using IDA and Windows specific tools (x64dbg) over gdb. IDA can interface with gdb so it can act as a frontend which can be handy for visualization.

Not a bad idea actually, totally didn’t think about that.

Maybe even a PCIe pass through to a VM could do the trick if you’re desparate lol (with Linux living in a separate drive)

Orrrr maybe even try FreeBSD… (or mac OS, but eww gross don’t test that)

The only thing I can think of is to try the drives in a different system and see how they behave (same OS and configuration).

If they behave the same then that rules out everything except the drives themselves and the OS.

Considering how you mentioned the behavior is better in Windows, it sounds like a software issue, but you never know until you try.

FWIW I’ve also had memory issues with XMP.

Turns out that ASUS firmware is omega pepega and decided to go against AMD’s specifications even for XMP profiles.

CLDO VDDP was stuck at the same voltage as SOC. Per AMD it has to be up to VSOC - 0.1V

So, after manually setting that, and other VDDP and VDDG voltages, it magically started working perfectly.

So do check voltages anyway even if you found a bad stick. Mine endured through the crappy firmware thanks to it being Samsung B-die.

Also check this for more info in general (I recommend this even if you won’t OC, just the memtest alone is a huge section)

I tested with OCCT to find even more errors, so either do that in a mini windows environment or do one of the Linux tests to check memory some more. Memtest86+ isn’t enough.

This goes for inter-developer communication too. Be nice to one another. Someone just wants to help sometimes.

1. Power management on certain chips is simply better than anything Linux has to offer (AMD Zen+ mobile for instance)
2. Modular driver architecture with drivers that aren’t complete jank to manage and install. A lot of people see this as a pain point, but in reality it’s not such a bad thing, especially nowadays.
3. This is a given, but as lots of stuff runs on Windows (namely older games), you can only really make stuff for Windows on Windows. So if you need to develop Win32 software, you really have to use Visual Studio for proper development. Mingw cross compile exists, I know, but that’s never going to be as good.

Number 3 is keeping me on Windows. I make mods for old games and I need Visual C++. I almost got the compiler to run under Wine but who knows how it would behave if it did run.

I had bad grades in maths. I do programming myself. Not for a living but out of passion.

They’re not necessarily related one to another. Sure, there is maths involved, but it’s not integral. What is integral, is digital logic. That is the most fundamental aspect.

And you gotta Chazz it up!

I don’t think that’s gonna work because this is a thing that he needs

I like it but it has a couple tiny issues:

1. Font title is the same weight as the rest of the post, making it hard to make things out from afar.

2. Scrolling for me often results in “reaching the end” when there’s more posts below, causing me to have to refresh often. (At least, this is the case on iOS and not on my desktop.)

EA used to do this even before Microsoft!

They have their own music system called “Pathfinder” which controls music interactively in little chunks.

I believe it was first used in NFS 2, which came out before DirectMusic.

If you’ve heard the pursuit music in NFSMW 2005 or Carbon’s Canyon music, that’s Pathfinder! It was also used in Medal of Honor and Red Alert 3.

Exactly. That’s what matters. That’s why SteamOS is on Steam Deck, or Linux distros on POS machines, or Windows on ATMs (which is kinda depressing ngl), etc.

It’s a tool, nothing more, nothing less. An OS is just a gateway to other apps at the end of the day.

That’s ok if you look at it that way. But at the end of the day, it’s just a tool like any other. Personally I find it really silly to put any moral questions into it because I don’t believe it’s worth my time to think about it, lose time on silly things and/or sacrifice the quality of my work. I’m not trying to imply anything about Linux, btw, it’s the same for the other ways around. It just feels stupid because it ends up like a political discussion, when it really shouldn’t be. You have the option to use basically anything and choosing to limit yourself over that is just plain stupid imo. You could make the arguments for how they process data, which is a whole other discussion, but then again, there are plenty of workarounds to all of those problems (which is exactly what some people are doing with virtualization, different machines entirely, OS tweaks, etc., which is fine, because they’re benefiting from it). Nothing against FOSS or otherwise, btw, I do agree about the need to support, but there are so many other ways to do it. Just using it isn’t enough, sadly. As the point of this OP is - it’s also market adoption, marketing itself, etc. None of this changes the fact that using certain tool(s) (e.g. gdb) is best done on a certain OS (e.g. a Linux distro) at a given time.

On the same token - anyone who also knows what an OS is shouldn’t care either. Use the best OS for your job and needs. Reap the benefits of all of the OSs that you can run and switch between them like an army knife. It is the best when all of them complement each other.

People use tools that work best for them. There really is nothing much more to it than that. An operating system is a tool, not a religion.

No joke, she looks kinda like Jeff the Killer.
