Microsoft experiments with Windows driver development in Rust

Microsoft has opened a GitHub repository for a set of tools to create Windows drivers in Rust.

This repo is a collection of Rust crates that enable developers to develop Windows Drivers in Rust. It is the intention to support both WDM and WDF driver development models.

#Microsoft #Windows is getting me down

**WARNING - this is a very niche rant** I'm quite a tech nerd. I enjoy gadets, and phones, and even writing software and addons. A big part of this is that I just generally enjoy interacting with my computer's operating system to get stuff done. I've been firmly embedded in Windows most of my life, but using it is really starting to get me down.

Ja, ich verstehe natürlich, wenn viele Windows nutzen und nicht umsteigen können, zB wegen "Spezial-Software", die sie selbstständig nutzen müssen.

Außerdem verhält es sich ähnlich, wie mit dem FediVerse zur Wahl einer passenden Instanz:

Aber für viele, die "Standards" machen - surfen, Mails lesen, bissl Office - wäre Linux einfach passend!

It's 2023. I was able to install Fedora Linux in under 4 minutes. It took like 5 clicks. Everything worked right out of the box. I installed Steam and played a few games.

I wasn't able to install Windows 11 on the same system. After I had figured out the issue it still took me 20 minutes and multiple dozend clicks to install. My license is still invalid for some reason. There's Bing.

It may never be the year of the Linux desktop.
But that's no longer a Linux issue.

I made a little something for my girlfriend and all other Photoshop users to help organise their PSDs on Windows. Suzr generates BMP files for your PSD files so that the Windows Explorer is able to make previews of them for you. This way, you don't have to open each of the files manually. And it's non-invasive and won't break your system, unlike other similar tools.

It's free, get it here: https://spiffyk.gitlab.io/suzr/

Can anyone recommend a #VNC server for #Windows? The one that keeps coming up is RealVNC, but it seems to force you to create an account and run everything through their servers. I don't want any of that garbage, especially since VNC is not an encrypted protocol, and could easily be eavesdropped upon and/or MitM'd.

This is to do remote tech support on my father's PC. I've already got him on my private VPN, so there's no need to worry about dynamic IP or NAT issues. I thought about Windows' native Remote Desktop software, but in Microsoft's infinite wisdom that's not available on his particular version of Windows.

I think part of the reason why #Windows is so popular despite its price tag is because it's often included in the price of a PC you're already paying a ton of money for. If people had to pay for and install the OS separately after purchasing their devices, I bet way more people would consider #Linux for the savings alone.

Oh... my... god... #Windows, seriously...
So here I am, opening the Task Manager. I sort the processes by CPU usage while struggling through the bulky laggy interface that once upon a time was so damn simple and straightforward. And... Can you guess what I find? The very first process, the one using up more CPU than anything else is... wait for it... none other than our dear taskmgr.exe!
No kidding. The damn Task Manager itself is using more CPU than my bloated web browser, which pretty much exists to eat resources. It outpaces even my IDE and those so inefficient electron apps I've got running!
I remember a time when Task Manager was insignificant yet being super easy to navigate. And now? Hell, it takes an eternity just to launch!
And don't even get me started on the Start menu... honestly, I can't even bear to dive into that disaster. What was once an efficient launcher has been reduced to... well, let's just say it's no longer what it used to be. I meanseriously, Windows! Why? Why would you take a splendidly working piece of software and just casually turn it into something that resembles absolute crap?

Better Bluetooth Sound Quality on Microsoft Teams in Windows 11
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/09/better-bluetooth-sound-quality-on-microsoft-teams-in-windows-11/

Here's the problem. The current Bluetooth spec doesn't allow high-quality audio to be sent to a headset when it is also sending audio from the microphone. Instead, it switches to the Hands Free Profile (HFP) which only streams low quality mono sound. It makes Teams calls sound like garbage.

The usual solution in Google Meet, Zoom, and MS Teams is to manually tell the app to use Bluetooth for speakers but a separate mic for input. In my experience, that never works with Teams. It forces HFP even if you choose a different input source. Or it cocks-up the sound somehow.

So here's how to fix it on Windows 11.

Open "Settings" and click on "Bluetooth & devices" and select "Devices":

Then scroll down and click on "More devices and printer settings":

Right-click on your Bluetooth headset and select "Properties":

Open the "Services" tab and un-tick "Hands-free Telephony":

Hit the "OK" button to save your changes.

When you next use Teams, select your Bluetooth headset as the speaker and your laptop's mic as the input. You'll have beautifully clear sound while listening to Barry from accounts talk about this quarter's EBITDA.

So I don't know if Android will ever catch up to iOS. And the constant questions of how to use dictation and Google Assistant talking over TalkBack for others when they use headphones, and all that definitely doesn't help, along with how snappy some people in the blind Android Users community are. Now what was I gonna say? Oh yeah. I don't know if Android will ever catch up to Apple accessibility, but I'm really getting use to using my PC for everything. Emacs is turning out to be more than good enough as a writing environment, with company-mode suggesting words, mostly correctly, way before Apple's word suggestions would have popped up. There's no lag in Internet browsing, I can use Gmail or Outlook for email, yeah I have a good setup here. And with Beeper (which isn't completely accessible), I can text from my computer and read texts in full, including the conversation.

I got a #linux webserver, offering an application for download. For some time now, my logs are flooded with requests (from different IPs) for the #windows binary v4.25.0 - this is the next release version, so the file does not exist, yet (never did; never was linked anywhere).

It's not massive enough for a #DDOS but excessive for an update probe. Putting a dummy file there has no effect.

Any ideas what this could be about?

Getting ready for a short holiday break, but I decided to start up my PC to get some small chores out of the way. For no very obvious reason, JAWS has reverted to using the Eloquence voice which I hate. If I switch focus to the JAWS app, my preferred Serena voice returns, but as soon as I move focus to run anything else, bloody Eloquence kicks in again. I don’t have time to investigate today, but if it’s still misbehaving when I get back, I’m going to need to contact Sight & Sound support to fix this.
The only thing I can think that might have caused is this is an update to Windows 10 which ran on Friday. I do hate it when tech misbehaves.

So who all knew you can do control + tab from the Outlook messages view, the um, yeah that thing, and get to the message body? No stretchy stretchy fingers to do F6 or anything!

I can't believe it. I restarted my machine to apply an update, and I swear to Goddess, less than a half-hour afterward, it said I have to do it again for a whole new update. So infuriating. #Windows #security #updates

This is something I have been looking forward to sharing with you: Vivaldia 2, Free Arcade Game, early access.

The first Vivaldia was integrated into @Vivaldi. This 2nd one will not be integrated. It is a much bigger game. I hope you enjoy it!
