How nice of Windows to spam me with notifications when I temporarily fill my scratch disk, despite turning them off…

    So sick of all the feedback, rate us, try this feature, what’s new, turn on feature x, etc. that seems to be a part of everything nowadays, even Linux apps. Linux wasn’t this bad only a few years ago and mobile OSs cranked this up to 10.

    • If I want to rate an app, I’ll look under feedback in the help menu.
    • If I want to see what’s new, show me the changelog…once, right after I update.
    • If I want to turn a feature on/off put descriptive toggles in the settings menu.

    Everything that can be seen from the default view should 100% revolve around fulfilling the function of the app for the user.

      If an app asks me to rate it, or checks what my rating is going to be before sending me to either a feedback form or Google Play, depending on my response, then it instantly gets a 1 star review

        The best is when you open a newly installed app and it asks you straight away to rate it.

      Same for websites with the popup “how do you like our website?”.

      It was cool until i got the popup!

      100%

      My banking apps CONSTANTLY harasses me with garbage, and the options are either to concede or to “skip for now”.

      No, I want to skip for always!

        We know you have no money in your checking or savings account… and you’ve said no at least 50 times in the last month… BUT would you like to use this investment brokerage we’ve partnered with?

      When apps do this I rate them 1 and leave a note explaining why

    Weird that my wife got no such notice when her HDD was completely full. Yesterday she came to me asking why she couldn’t install something. I checked her HDD and it was 100% full. No notifications for her at all.

          Portable and pretty budget, a G29 + arduino with a large LCD to show live dashboard data, head tracking with OpenTrack + PS3 Eye webcam (extremely versatile camera, pretty handy for machine vision with its 120FPS support. Only downside is 640x480 max res, and the 4x array mics only work on Linux)

          Only outlier is stick shift running via the Arduino for a few reasons, mainly to reduce wires and setup/packing time (need my desk for other things too, sadly can’t afford a permanent rig), and also to avoid mapping the gears in new games. I just switch between usb emulation of a known device, or sending keypresses 1-6, R

        There’s been a solution of, provided two usable graphics processors, running Linux and virtualizing Windows underneath it with the gaming GPU for only a 5-8% loss.

      Imagine being an adult professional that uses windows programs for their job… I have several Linux machines that are workhorses in my pipeline, but using windows is just not something a lot of people can avoid.
