Psaldorn, in It can't be stopped
@Psaldorn@lemmy.world avatar

Newest versions of windows 11 make it incredibly hard to find the screen that shows all your network adapters. It is now easier to use device manager to disable and reenable an adapter.

How do I know? Because all the shit tier screens and tools that offer to help you with a network issue didn’t work. ONLY reenabling the NIC did.

Had to do it on my whole network

skizzles,

Why don’t you just use control panel?

I never use the windows settings menu unless I absolutely have to because, like you insinuated, it’s really not that great.

Control panel on the other hand is still there and will get you exactly where you need much quicker.

MrScottyTay, (edited )

You can also just search “network” and the screen they want is either the first or second result. I rarely ever go into any kinds of settings menus anymore, i just search on the start menu.

Anticorp,

Why are the settings for a single device spread across multiple sections of the OS though?

MrScottyTay,

Because windows 11 is an updated version of windows 19 and windows 10 is an updated version of windows 7/8.1.

Each one of them has had holdovers of previous versions of windows. And each one has tried to bring in a new standard to bring them all together but they’ve always moved on to the next standard before finishing it. Windows 11 has actually came the closest but we’re not there yet and because it’s actively replaced old methods of doing things in this process it feels more fractured than before because we’re not used to looking in the new places for them.

Anticorp,

I feel like making important changes was easiest with XP. It feels like they’re trying to obscure administrative functions behind layers of abstraction.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

i find the best solution to this problem is to install linux

Psaldorn,
@Psaldorn@lemmy.world avatar

It’s definitely looking like a possibility. I do my work on Linux machines but only use win for games. If I can play my main community games it might be time to make the switch for good

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy, (edited )

if you dont play games that use anticheat you’re probs okay.

most everything else either works with proton out the box or with some small tweaks.

protondb is the best resource for linux gaming imo

skizzles,

Yeah, my primary is Kubuntu. I have windows on the side for the few games I have that I need it for.

Passerby6497,

Learn the ways of the run prompt: ncpa.cpl launches you right to the classic network adapter control panel screen. I have to get in there so often that I’ve taught myself plenty of those little shortcuts because MS can’t leave shit where it was.

…And it all has to be there for legacy compatibility, because some Fortune 500 company somewhere has some rickety piece of shit in-house “enterprise” software that relies on some obscure aspect or another of a past Windows version.

The_v,

I am sort of partial to those rickity old systems that force them to keep legacy software compatibility.

I can still load up and use a program that was written 20 years ago for windows XP.

It also gives third parties like classic shell or startallback the ability to restore all the functionality that the newest start menu disaster tries to push.

banneryear1868,

Even easier in powershell:

Get-NetAdapter

Disable-NetAdapter

OsrsNeedsF2P,

areyouevenreal,

Disabling and enabling a network adapter using a GUI is trivial on most Linux desktops. So not helping Microsoft’s case.

Psaldorn,
@Psaldorn@lemmy.world avatar

This didn’t work, I did try at the time.

Crack0n7uesday, (edited )

Did you use cmd with elevated admin privileges? Try right click cmd and run as admin if you don’t know what I’m talking about. Windoze stopped running cmd with elevated privileges sometime around Win7. From a security perspective it makes a lot of sense to do that as default, even though it can be a bit of a pain for home users that expect to have admin for everything they do.

Yes, but they’re calling it a “Stanley cup”

agitatedpotato,

In Canada it’s legal to cross check anyone who calls a thermos a stanley cup.

jagungal,

You didn’t have to preface “cross check” with “In Canada”.

Anticorp,

Is that because it’s made by Stanley instead of Thermos?

Nope. Completely different companies. They’ve been making insulated bottles since 1913.

DickSledge,

I mean, you can set it up with the handle on the opposite side. Or, my favorite way, you can reach across and drink with it in the crook of your elbow like an old timey moonshine jug.

Kethal,

The bottles are a different company, but I’d say that calling Stanley tools “mediocre” is generous of you.

idk I tried amphetamines and let’s just say I haven’t necessarily improved.

Donkter,

Nah, they’ll all live to 70s-80s. Cause in addition to having access to these body-destroying drugs, they also have access to cutting edge medicine, and let me tell you, medicine ain’t what it was like in the 80s. We have solved lots of the problems these people will face due to these drugs. Sure, they’ll have a worse quality of life than if they never took them but we can make sure they survive. The rich have it good coming and going.

quams69,

sTeroids?

BangelaQuirkel,

Tren, but yes.

feedum_sneedson,

For sure a good six months of perfect training and diet, plus the steroids, AND the water manipulation.

Oderus,

I thought the T meant Testosterone, like TRT, Testosterone Replacement Therapy which is common for older men.

Like anything though, there’s a fine line between use and abuse.

Delphia,

Im gonna ask you. What exactly is the problem with that?

I can walk into a plastic surgeon and talk about how I dont like my eyes/ears/nose/lips/etc and they will take a fucking scalpel and cut me up. I can get hair implants, butt implants, pec implants. I could eat until I have to waddle into a doctors office to be offered a veritable menu of weight loss drugs and invasive surgeries. If I were a woman and pound weight loss drugs, engage in extreme dieting and get some “work done” the general attitude will be “Yass Queen, live your best life!” and not to be transphobic (Its not coming from that place, think what you want) but I could even wholeheartedly believe that my entire gender is wrong and recieve surgeries, hormones and therapies to change that.

But because I’m a grown man in good shape who works out 6 days a week, despite their being an extensive list of drugs and compounds that can relatively safely* give me the body I’d love to have I’m not allowed to have them because they are “performance enhancing” like that isnt the whole reason I want them. I am told, that even with strict medical supervision, bloodwork and other support I’m straight up not allowed. People act like the recipe isnt “Steroids… and a FUCKLOAD OF WORK”

ThrowawayPermanente,

I don’t think it’s great that boys are comparing themselves to these guys, buy I agree that you should be allowed to do whatever you want to your body.

Delphia,

Agree 100%

Its like eating disorders or extreme dieting and modelling. The difference with PEDs is the lies, they are actors not athletes. Would it be more or less helpful to young men wanting to look like that to know the truth. “This took tens of thousands of dollars in trainers, dieticians and pharmaceuticals and working out was basically my job for 6 whole months” at least putting it in a realistic frame of reference.

undeffeined,

Im gonna ask you. What exactly is the problem with that?

One example of a problem is the fact that the majority of them do not openly talk about it. In fact it’s the opposite, they deny taking PEDs and claim it’s all hard work and that anybody can achieve it.

A more specific example is Chris Hemsworth who sells training programs that claim to give you his physique. Don’t you see the problem with this?

I do agree with you that it if people want to use it they should, under medical supervision and with full understanding of the risks and commitment they bring. My limited understanding of using exogenous hormones is that your body will lose the ability to properly make them and one is bound to taking them for life.

Delphia, (edited )

I see a problem with people lying about it, especially if they are profiting off the lie or using it to gain an unfair advantage in sports. The fact that they are illegal and you have to get them underground exacerbates the problem. Its not on your medical history, theres no official records of you being on them so you can lie.

The issue I have is theres a social distain towards steroids that seems unfair when compared to all the other things I listed. I’m not ashamed to tell you that I’m not on steroids, but only because I dont have reliable access to them. Because they are extremely illegal in Australia and because we are an island nation hard to smuggle in and therefore HORRIBLY expensive. If I could have my doctor manage a sensibly dosed regime, Id start tomorrow and I wouldnt lie for a second about it.

You’re half right about the hormones, you experience supression when coming off a cycle thats pretty much directly proportional to your dosage and duration when on steroids. Which is why Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) is a must, suplements that help rebalance your hormones and bring testosterone production back up.

The problem with them being illicit and distained is that theres nothing stopping people from just setting their own insane dosages, running terrible stacks (multiple different drugs/compounds), not doing adequate PCT and generally making up their own rules, leading to bad outcomes.

undeffeined,

I agree with you that the stigma around them is not a net positive. Adults should be able to use tools available, in a safe way and if they don’t harm others in the process. Legalizing their use would also minimize problems from illegal trade.

Thanks for the info on the PCT, was not aware. The examples I read were extreme, were the person had been using for years and in high doses so they were effectively dependent on them.

brbposting,

Is there anybody who looks just as good & big as say Hemsworth but who has a third party publicly release medical/drug tests? (So, any massive but proven clean dudes out there?)

Hard to believe EVERY giant is taking big risks with drugs!

Brkdncr,

The meme sort of explains why.

Sekrayray,

I’m fine with steroid usage but want people to be honest about it.

Delphia,

Agreed, they have to lie because its illegal, the ones who lie and sell workout plans are con-artists. Simple.

Sekrayray,

Yeah, I just wish it weren’t so taboo. It would be great if folks could just be honest so you could get a better idea of—

-This is the physique that is generally achievable for someone of my size who is natty -This is the physique that is generally achievable for someone of my size with just Cyp -This is what I can achieve with tren

Etc, etc

Sekrayray,

Or peptides. Peptide experimentation is rampant. Will probably lead to some weird cancers in 5-10 years

KillingTimeItself, in I think we've been had

its this EXACT same thing but with soccer and football, granted there is actual history there, im going to ignore it because it’s funnier that way.

europe created the term soccer, and then got rid of it, and then took up football, so the US started using soccer, because it had already used football, for well, football. Shocker i know. And so now we still use soccer, but they use football.

BilboBargains,

Hand egg

kameecoding,

Doesn’t change the fact that football makes more sense and that while the British did come up with soccer literally every country uses something like football.

KillingTimeItself,

this also doesnt change the fact that if we called football football and football football we would be confusing football with football, and football with football, instead of having two succinct names that are clearly identifiable.

And even then most words don’t make very much sense. It’s just english.

kameecoding,

One is football the other is handegg or rugby for pussies

JoeyHarrington,

Except we came up with another game we called football so we can’t exactly change the name of that game so soccer can be renamed

synapse1278,
@synapse1278@lemmy.world avatar

I my language, we just call it “American Football”. And it works pretty well since only USA plays it. The real football is just “Football” of course.

bluewing,

There are teams and leagues in Britain and Germany that play “American Football.” They just aren’t at the level of US teams yet. But they are getting better at it.

The NFL has been playing games in Britain for years now. And I think this year they played in Germany also. It’s an open secret that the NFL wants a team based in Britain also. They just can’t quite figure out the logistics.

Like it or not, American Football/Hand Egg is gaining popularity around the world - slowly perhaps but steadily. The NFL is coming for your “football”. In any case, it’s better than Cricket…

Poik,
@Poik@pawb.social avatar

Except that football already existed and there were a bunch of variations, including association football which is what we call soccer, Australian football, and its variant Rugby which is what American football was based off of when it was brought to the States in 1870.

They all are called football, technically. We just don’t use that name anymore.

KillingTimeItself,

i think the technicality here is that soccer spread to the US initially. And then it transitioned to football, but by that time US football had been established properly, so we just kind of decided to keep using soccer, because it made the most sense. And besides the entire reason the EU transitioned to football, was kind of just irrelevant for the US anyway.

It’s one of those things where you get stuffed into a bit of an awkward spot. And so you do the best you can. And then everyone still yells at you for some reason. Like yes football already existed, and yes it probably should’ve just been football. But this is also the US and europe that we’re talking about, historically known to be good friends, throughout history. Of course.

TheOctonaut,

This is true only in the vaguest sense.

  1. “Europe” didn’t invent the term soccer. A specific group of people in England did.
  2. Those people were upper class posh boys, the same ones who call rugby “rugger”. They are not the people who support football today or made football what it is around the world.
  3. If you can’t tell, it’s an obvious nickname for something. The equivalent of one nation deciding to exclusively call basketball “shootin’ hoops”.
ashok36,

“Hoops” is an objectively better name for the sport ever since we got rid of the baskets.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Looks like the name is far more confusing than that. Apparently, ‘football’ used to mean multiple types of games, soccer started out as ‘association football,’ and then a British public school took ‘association’ and turned it into ‘asoccer,’ which spread to Oxford and became common there and then everyone else started calling it ‘soccer’ but then they dropped ‘soccer’ in favor of just ‘football’ except in countries which already had a football, which was sometimes the same as rugby.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_football#Name

KillingTimeItself,

yeah, pretty much.

KillingTimeItself,

ButtholeSpiders, in frosted glass

I had a friend that during the cold winter mornings would wake up and piss on his windshield to clear/melt the frost. He of course kept the vents closed so he couldn’t smell it on the drive. It really was disgusting, but made me wonder if he might’ve had a clever time saving idea.

nul,

It’s a clever time saving idea in the same way that burning your house down is a heating bill reduction life hack.

silasmariner,

How did he do it? Like, I could hit the windscreen from the ground but I doubt I could clear it… Would probably have to stand on the bonnet to get it clear with a morning wizz. I don’t wanna stand on my bonnet. Maybe if I pissed out the window… 🤔

ratman150,

pearsaltchocolatebar,

You guys should maybe Google “homemade de-icer” before you start pissing on windows.

greenskye,

How hot was his pee? Pretty sure it’d just freeze before it melted even a minor amount of ice

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I mean, it’s 98.6F on average. If it’s freezing that quickly then you’re looking at some extreme temperatures.

OutlierBlue, in What a difference it can make

H2O molecules can be in several different states at 0°C. The first picture depicts ice at 0°C, but you can also have water and water vapour at 0°C too.

troyunrau,
@troyunrau@lemmy.ca avatar

Water vapour isn’t really applicable here, unless you’re talking about very low pressures. Although you could consider it a component in a mixed gas, it’s not really gaseous water. The true gaseous form of water is steam. Water vapour is more like water that has been dissolved in the atmosphere.

By analogy: sugar is solid at room temperature. But you can dissolve it in water. Have you converted the sugar into a liquid? No. Because sugar is a liquid only at temperatures above 160°C. But the resulting mixture is liquid.

OutlierBlue,

Agreed that vapour doesn’t really play in to this, but I knew if I didn’t mention it someone would come in and ‘correct’ me. So I included it, and someone still came in and ‘corrected’ me.

My main point, that I didn’t make very well, is that I wanted to ‘correct’ the meme that both ice and liquid water can be at 0°C.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
