Might be interpreting your comment wrong, but it is compatible with competitors. You don’t need to use Authenticator as your 2FA for a personal Microsoft account, and you can use Authenticator in place of any other TOTP app. It’s OP’s IT department that have chosen to disable the option to use other apps.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Linux is still not ready to replace Windows
5·1 year agoIt’s not necessarily about asking questions or providing the right detail to someone who knows more than you though. After asking for help with the problems I’m experiencing, the answer turned out to be that the NVIDIA driver support for my hardware configuration just isnt there yet. It’s not Linux’s fault, but unless I spend hundreds to switch my GPU brand or start unlugging monitors, I’m stuck with Windows until Explicit Sync hits the stable release.

Linux@lemmy.ml•NVIDIA 555 Beta Linux Graphics Driver Released with Explicit Sync Support
6·1 year agoOh yeah for sure, it works great when I set my monitors to the same refresh rate, but I’d prefer to not have to do that because it’s a pretty big difference between them. My secondary monitor is 165hz, but my primary monitor is 360hz, and trying to run them at their native refresh rates at the same time in X11 doesn’t work at all. I’d have to set the 360hz monitor down to 165hz to match my secondary monitor before things become usable.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Patent Hints At Foldable iPhone With Self-healing Screen
5·1 year agoThe self healing part is for scratches on the inner screen. Since the inner screen can’t be made of glass, it’s prone to scratches.

Technology@lemmy.world•iPhones And Androids Can Now Warn You of 'Secret Trackers'
8·1 year agoI’m guessing they mean using it as an anti-theft device. If a thief steals an item with a tracker in it, they’ll be notified of the tracker’s presence by their phone and remove it. Of course, these trackers aren’t anti-theft devices and you probably shouldn’t use them to try confronting a thief on your own anyway…

Linux@lemmy.ml•NVIDIA 555 Beta Linux Graphics Driver Released with Explicit Sync Support
4·1 year agoI can’t use my two monitors on X11 because they’re different refresh rates unfortunately. I’d have to either lower the refresh rate of my main monitor to match my secondary monitor (ew) or disable my secondary monitor completely. I get the flickering in Wayland also sadly.

Linux@lemmy.ml•NVIDIA 555 Beta Linux Graphics Driver Released with Explicit Sync Support
4·1 year agoI’ve not been having a pleasant experience with it, but X11 has its own share of issues as well. They have different issues though, my problems in Wayland are not identical to the problems i have with X11. PopOS under Wayland has been the most usable so far, but I’m hoping that when this update hits the stable branch it’ll finally make Bazzite practical as my main OS.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Microsoft's AI will be inside Minecraft, and other Xbox, PC games: new Copilot features will search your inventories, offer tips and guides
3·1 year agoThe article seems to be implying that for some reason, but Copilot doesn’t actually do anything to control the game either. In the demo, it was just telling the player whether or not they had the material to craft a sword based on what it could see when the player opened their inventory or a chest. It also gave a recommendation on how to get wood to make a sword with, but it can’t take control of the game and auto-gather or auto-build or really do anything at all like those advanced cheat clients do. It’s more like having a conversation with someone who’s watching you play from over your shoulder than any actual cheats.
I think this article did a bad job of explaining what they showed off in the presentation.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Released: NVIDIA 555.42.02 Linux Beta Brings Wayland Explicit Sync, GSP Firmware

Games@sh.itjust.works•Microsoft's AI will be inside Minecraft, and other Xbox, PC games: new Copilot features will search your inventories, offer tips and guides
81·1 year agoDon’t worry, the title is pretty misleading actually. The AI won’t be “inside” Minecraft at all. In the demo, the player is “sharing their screen” with Copilot from the desktop and It’s analyzing what’s being shown on it, which just so happens to be a Minecraft window. It’s working purely off the same visuals you’re getting, there’s no extra integration happening behind the scenes and Mojang hasn’t added any Copilot code into Minecraft.
The “impressive” part of the demo (and what they explained on stage) is that it doesn’t need to be integrated into the game to figure out what’s happening on screen, so this should be possible in any game played on Windows. If you’re on Linux, you’ll never see it.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Microsoft's AI will be inside Minecraft, and other Xbox, PC games: new Copilot features will search your inventories, offer tips and guides
141·1 year agoIt’s not clear from the title, so I want to point out that they aren’t integrating Copilot into Minecraft. It’s not part of the game at all. In the demo, the player is “sharing their screen” with Copilot and the AI is analyzing what’s being shown on it. It’s working purely off the same visuals you’re getting, there’s no extra integration happening behind the scenes and Mojang hasn’t added Copilot to Minecraft on their end.
This is pretty impressive IMO because it means it will work in any game it can recognize without the developers needing to do anything to integrate Copilot.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft says “Prism” translation layer does for Arm PCs what Rosetta did for Macs
9·1 year agoARM is the licensor, not the licensee. At the very least, they are willing to license the ARM architecture to more companies (the licensees) than Intel is with x86. More RISC-V support would be ideal though for sure…
I still can’t connect my 360hz monitor and 165hz monitor and get HDR at the same time in Linux. Only two of these things work at once. Hoping the eventual new Nvidia drivers fix that, but otherwise I’m out of ideas.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft offers to relocate nearly 10% of China-based staffers to the US or allied nations — AI and cloud engineering exodus from China begins
13·1 year agoIt’s not distributed by Microsoft either, it’s distributed by Win.rar GmbH from their own website. The developers made it only for Windows, but that doesn’t mean Microsoft played any part in it. Windows is the most widely used desktop OS, especially in business environments, and selling to businesses is where WinRAR makes their money.

Technology@lemmy.world•Intel's new Thunderbolt Share provides file and screen sharing without hurting network performance
8·1 year agoWhy doesn’t this already work the way I would expect? You can plug your smartphone into your PC and access its entire filesystem, and they’re basically both computers. Why can’t this work the same way between PCs? Or why can’t I access my PC’s files from my phone?









I can look at the earliest posts and comments on my account from 10 years ago and cringe at my past self. I’ll definitely be able to do the same with this account in the future haha
