juiceciuj Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 yeah i've got one of those seagate hybrids in my ps3. word on the street though is that ssd tech is advancing pretty fast right now and capacities are set to go way up and prices way down pretty soon. my new work pc is on a straight up ssd and it boots from shutdown in like 5 seconds which makes me pretty horny.

mcbpete Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Aye can't wait for them to drop just that bit more in price, will probably get one more hybrid before I make the leap to full SSD land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceciuj Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 for fucking fucks sake. fuck tascam. fuck shitty drivers. absolutely no sound of any kind from my us-16x08. reinstalled the drivers with no errors but the fucking tascam manager will never launch and windows acts like it's not even installed. will try to reach out to tascam's non-existent customer service tomorrow to see if there's a new driver coming soon (not holding my breath). looks like i'll be downgrading this weekend. yay!

Rotwang Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 So what's the current verdict among people who've installed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 for me it works great except an annoying sound glitch/stutter every 10 minutes or so, which is kinda driving me mad and i don't know how to solve it. i use absolutely no win10 new features whatsoever, cortana and all kinds of reminders, assistants and planners and other web based stuff... all this shit is useless to me because it doesn't integrate well with android well unless you fill it with microsoft software. but it works fast and pressing windows key when you need to search for something doesn't take you into some another screen.

manmower Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Same, works great here and transition was super smooth except for introducing very sporadic freaky sound glitches (happens less than every ten minutes, although sometimes it will choke reproducibly on a specific section of a YouTube video for instance). Not sure what's going on there and basically waiting for either an MS hotfix or a soundcard manufacturer driver update. Other than that I like it better than 8.1 (which I already didn't particularly dislike anything about). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caze Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 So what's the current verdict among people who've installed it? I can confirm that that show-stopper pixel bug is not in the most recent build (10547), which should be in general release in November. Those context menus are also now black for me, which looks great. I think that might depend on your settings though, they change to grey for others.

Your link is giving me an error page, but anyway my network adapter is a Realtek on an Asus board so I'm not sure that it would apply to me.

eugene Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 the link's irrelevant then, though it could be something with how windows 10 handles network in general. what snd card do you have then? i've got asus xonar stx and they did get new drivers for win 10 just recently, but it didn't help in my case.

caze Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I've had no audio glitching on any of my machines (about 5 running windows 10 at this stage). my main pc has about three different audio drivers as well (USB Alesis M1Actives, HDMI out to a receiver, and wifi streaming, using mobo realtek/intel chips on the rest). more specialist audio devices might be the issue if their drivers aren't the best I guess.

Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Well I've been using W10 for a little over a month now. It's been great for the most part, but occasionally I'm still dealing with minor issues. Overall performance has slightly deteriorated since the upgrade too. I'm definitely preferring Windows 8. W7 still da best doe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's an ESI Maya44. After my previous post I checked back and noticed they've now updated their drivers to add "official Windows 10 support". That reads like they didn't do much real tweaking but while the issue isn't entirely gone, after a couple of days with the updated driver it seems like there may actually have been some improvement, so maybe the drivers really do play nicer with Windows 10 in some way.

Guest Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I like it. Tho I disabled all that Cortana shit and ad whatever. this, windows 10 likes to talk a lot with Microsoft, so I made sure to disable as much of this as possible during and after installation. Also followed a optimization guide for audio, though written for windows 8 9 http://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/pc-optimization-guide-for-windows-8/), not sure if this matters much with current processors, maybe the gain is neglect-able? Emu soundcard stopped working so now use my dj mixer toy as soundcard which sucks. Will give the emu support dudes some time to figure out a new updated driver .

mcbpete Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yep max seems to work fine on my machine. The only casualty at the moment on my lappy is the ability to connect my ds4 to my pc via Bluetooth - ds4tool happily maps it if plugged in, but it just can't connect to it wirelesslyThis 'only casualty' seemed to magically fix itself again about a month later. And I can't believe it - I'm actually using the Windows 10 Start Menu rather than Classic Shell (well all I really use it for is to type in the first few letters of the application or document I want that isn't already in my object dock!). Two t'umbs fresh from me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 i'm rolling back before the 30 days is up, audio issues here too, driving me fucking bonkers. plus the whole thing is hideous and unfamiliar to me. we fear change. and yes fuck tascam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlitze Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Just done a clean install of this from Windows 7. All my shit's now in the Windows.old folder, which is fine. Having to reinstall everything and getting used to all the new shit. I keep saying it must be better because it's newer. Also, Windows Edge. I used Chrome for years, should I give Edge a chance? The pointy corners are somewhat more cold and clinical than Chromes loving nurturing curves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pointy corners are somewhat more cold and clinical than Chromes loving nurturing curves. Edge is fine, fast, renders shit well, low memory footprint. Can't use it full time until it's got extensions though, using the web without an ad blocker is painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphex Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I know I'm a bit late to the party, but just in case this hasn't been posted yet: https://voat.co/v/technology/comments/459263 This is a script for users of windows 8 and 7 to get rid of all those sneaky telemetry spyware updates microsoft are installing on us. It all checks out, you can analyse it yourself when you get the file if you wish, or it has a list of the offending updates on the post. Microsoft is planning on introducing "Windows 10" into the "reccomended updates" catagory next year, and later they're going to change it to "important updates" so if your settings aren't preventing it, you'll turn on your PC one day and you'll have Windows 10. Privacy-wise, Windows 10 is absolutely awful (https://i.imgur.com/1VAwKNX.jpg). Soon enough I'll probably have to be converting my main OS to linux, but I've been putting it off since I'll need to buy an SSD to make dual booting really viable. But until then I'll be sticking with for 7 as long as I can. If you're concious about privacy and have Windows 10, just tell me and I'll hunt around for some good articles for you on disabling telemetry and spyware altogether on your OS.
