Oh i hate the logitech software

"software" as in there's something other than drivers?

I had to cripple its telemetry

Yeah for the G series mice

wait so you need some special software to use a mouse?

Need for setup, set polling speed dpi remapping etc

It has a numpad on the side

oh, I have an ASUS mouse that can do that but it's just a client you run and when you're done you just close it

The program doesnt need to stay open

and someone reverse engineered it so I don't even bother switching to windows to do it I just do it from within linux

I mean, it stays open in the taskbar actually

I could actually do stuff like hook up the reverse engineered stuff to like change the mouse LED color when I have mail or whatever

I might get similar from asus if their software is less shitty

the windows software was fine

doesn't stay open/in the task tray

and it's just one piece of software for all their stuff

they have a common protocol for all their stuff

EG lighting is AURA etc.

My asus mobo has terrible software so i havent bought anything from them in awhile if it would need a driver

my ASUS motherboard is pretty good all in all, but I'm not running special software for it

Z370-F

had the right sepcs and was on sale for the right price

I must admit I like how it looks too

too bad my cable runs are garbage and I'm too lazy to make them all tidy

but I don't have lights in my case or whatever and I'm the only one who ever looks

OMFG system library management on windows is as solid as diarrhea. I have libcurl on the path - can't find it. I specify the exact location of libcurl in the build dirrectives - can't load it. Delete line in build directives and put libcurl in the local build folder - WORKS. I have to package this by the middle of next month and I'm seriously thinking of just blowing money on having a windows dev do it for me because this is awful.

Linux I just specify the dependency in the packaging file and it will just be there - no having to specify extra stuff it's just there and that's that

how is it like 25 years of packaging systems working on Linux/BSD/etc. and MS can't come up with something similar?

@Ƶero hahahha 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

You’re actually expecting MS to be competent?

I actually know the reason why they don't have system level library management (to prevent moving target/dependency issues and because dll's aren't technically "shared" libraries like SO libs on POSIX systems) but at this point if you can't figure that out with billions of dollars then you can basically go fuck yourself. SO versioning issues only come about if you have a maintainer that is super anal about mid versioning anyway and that's an issue with the maintainer not the management system.

It's just insane to me that I have to open a browser, hunt down libraries one by one, make sure they are built to be compatible with eachother (native/mingw/cygwin....), download them, unpack them/install them, then figure out how to get the system to recognize they're even there or that they can be used. A 5 second process on Linux is taking me almost a day now on Windows.

also chocolately is the biggiest pile of shit ever

while we're on the subject OS-X is probably worse

at least on Windows we can do this kind of thing fairly freely and without breaking the standard system. Homebrew and non-homebrew systems don't mix and homebrew changes all sorts of system environment settings which seems to break random things

I had to wipe a mac dev machine recently because uninstalling homebrew completely messed up the system

and at least the Windows UI is usable if you are competent. Using OS-X is like trying to get a girl off while wearing mittons and the ability to use your mouth is 3rd party and costs hundreds of dollars

why would you develop on OS-X?
