Something something 🤔
Bought a Beelink with 11th Gen Jasper Lake N5095, 8GB DDR4 128GB M.2 SSD. Came with Windows 11. Runs like a fucking potato 😂

Granted it pales into insignificance slightly when you're blocking out rider using 4.2gb with a background process on top of that using aother 1.2gb
Plus all the nethost processes that get started and only if you are lucky actually bloody die afterwards

Endless churn of shit on windows 11 that eats up resources before you even start using things.
Even edge as a pdf reader is pretty gross; tab might be a few mb... whole thing with zero extensions still takes 390mb.

It's just earned itself disable on boot.
Equally as unimpressed that a single tab in Edge takes over 40mb for a static page. Yet a pdf in edge takes 3.4mb.
Modern tech is a mess

In comparison EmEditors tray app takes 1.2mb
Twingates somehow eats 119mb but then its also the entire client
Signal only takes 300mb and has a job
Steam 22mb
PageAnt 1.4mb
Sync 63mb
Even the crap-app gigabyte pumps out sits at 10mb down there

I get similar when I flick my laptop on thinking I'll quickly have some actual fun coding and by the time i've made windows update go away and update all the other crap I just close the bastard and go to sleep

Anyone filed the issue on Mongos driver issues yet.

thats cool; was a bit jarring in the browser when windows hello popped up while one pass flapped in the browser

There are some fun issues bsky.app/profile/fran...
.NET 10 released and Microsoft introduced a hidden breaking change for Linq providers: new string[] {} will be wrapped with either a ConvertExpression or an op_implicit method call expression to ReadOnlySpan<string[]>. As this is unexpected, Linq providers will break.

Lovely... (Fixing now)

It's Microsofts apt list. I just use the install script, it's just an inconvenience on build agents when you have to install 6,8,9,10 😂

Had to explain the data protection api to a group of product people once and that pretty much sums it up.
Like a crap magicians trick; look the plain text is gone, but watch now as it reappears
