[QUOTE=Snickerdoodle;52349310]Speaking of how god awful Windows is... this is a brand new installation. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/K5FpsBv.png[/IMG] It's fucking broken[/QUOTE] Had something similar the other day where I was helping a friend reinstall Windows, a fresh install would literally just not boot. Same drive that was working an hour before. It was a custom build with a UEFI board and shit that all worked out of the box the first time, same installer disk. Still no idea what happened.
This fix worked btw: [url]https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/win10-rundll32exe-windows-cannot-access-the/9a9e817d-f7cc-4fe5-a676-0da9034ee775[/url] Still bullshit that it's like that out of the box [editline]12th June 2017[/editline] Man someone really wants my Minecraft account [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3tRSiTl.png[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Protocol7;52349131]The thing that gets me about Windows is how awful web development is on it. It's way way wayyyyyyyyy better these days, sure, but it's still not as nice as on a Unix-based OS. Not to mention IIS is a piece of shit compared to Nginx/Apache, but at least those run on Windows too.[/QUOTE] IIS might possibly be one of the worst things I've had to interact with regularly in my life. And I'm talking in the realm of everything, not just software.

Had a go at undervolting my GPU, managed to cut a decent 20-25W off the power consumption. Fans are a lot happier with the situation too. My ASIC quality is really shit too, I imagine a lot of RX 480s can pull this off.

Just the other day it had decided to stop loading all symbols for my project. Wouldn't hit breakpoints until I went in and manually loaded symbols for my project. It was working the hour before, no idea why it stopped the 11th time I deployed the debugging DLLs.

What is with Speccy and not detecting information right? It detects a 1070 having 4GB of VRAM instead of 8GB.
[QUOTE=garychencool;52351854]What is with Speccy and not detecting information right? It detects a 1070 having 4GB of VRAM instead of 8GB.[/QUOTE] It still does that? I remember running it about a year ago just after I bought my 1070. Back then it also reported 4GB VRAM. It makes me wonder if Nvidia is doing something strange on the hardware/driver side or if it is just Speccy not fixing their shit.
As far as I've heard, the road to getting specs and (especially) statistics out of hardware (especially) on Windows is filled with tears. No standardisation (or nobody's using the standards (or they're using them but the implementation is shit)) and lots of bugs.
I find it humorous that our largest client is effectively acting as the beta tester for all the other clients. They didn't want a fortnightly release cycle so the director just does builds for them every so often. Normally the build doesn't go out until all changes have been through testing but that gets fucked when builds just go out whenever. Does explain why their shit breaks more often though.
Small update to the GitHub thing I linked, it actually truly ended up being npm's fault at some point, they were mangling file metadata in some version. So a shitty bug report from a moron to a maintainer that doesn't give a shit caused by a piece of shit [I]Javascript package manager[/I] which was in turn written by idiots because of course it was, it's Javascript, and they were dumb enough to willingly suffer through Javascript.

[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;52354531]Linux has definitely improved [B]significantly[/B] over the past decade but I wouldn't say it's quite there yet.[/QUOTE] I dunno, IMO if you compare Windows 10 to a stable desktop distro with a proven DE, there's no real difference stability wise. [editline]13th June 2017[/editline] I mean my Fedora machines with XFCE break less often than my W10 ones do.
I've had issues using all operating systems, however in my experience, Windows computers blue screen less in recent years due to better hardware, optimizations and stability. Mac OS only crashed a few times but I use Mac OS like 1% of the time in the year.

[quote="stackoverflow answer"] So what’s happening here? [B]1.[/B] You’re trying to import [I]urllib.request[/I]. [B]2.[/B] [I]urllib.request[/I] tries to import [I]http.client[/I], which tries to import [I]email.parser[/I], which tries to import [I]email.feedparser[/I], which tries to import [I]email.message[/I], which tries to import [I]email.utils[/I], which tries to import [I]email.charset[/I], which tries to import [I]email.quoprimime[/I]. [B]3.[/B] [I]email.quoprimime[/I] tries to import [I]string[/I], expecting it to be the standard Python string module—but since the current working directory has priority over the standard Python library directories, it finds your [I]string.py[/I] instead and tries to import that. [B]4.[/B] When importing your [I]string.py[/I], you try to import [I]urllib.request[/I]. Since [I]urllib.request[/I] is still being imported, you get back a skeleton [I]urllib[/I] without a request attribute yet. [B]5.[/B] Because your imported [I]string.py[/I] then fails because it can’t find the request attribute, the exception starts propagating back up. [B]6.[/B] But wait, there’s more! Since there was an error during an import, Ubuntu tries to be helpful by seeing if you’re missing a dpkg package. If so, it could say “hey, it looks like you’re missing this module; want to apt-get it?” So the mechanism for looking up the appropriate package is activated… [B]7.[/B] …but the module for looking up the appropriate package itself depends on [I]urllib.request[/I], so it tries to import it, and again fails… In short, because you picked [I]string.py[/I] as a file name, you overrode the standard string module, which broke a lot of other modules, and even broke the module that was supposed to be helpful when you were missing a module, causing a whole lot of havoc. Fortunately the solution is easy: rename your script. [B]TL;DR:[/B] Don’t name your script string.py.
