@hichris123 Sorry I didn't get back to you last night. My iPad won't track back as far as my previous message, so I'm not sure what you're asking. If you're referring to what I have an issue with, it's both! I've spent a long time thinking since yesterday's discussion, and feel more and more like the messages should be changed or eliminated, and the filler text in the profile should be eradicated! Googling it brings up two or three users, more reason to get it out of everybody's box!

@ASCIIThenANSI OK, at least let's close it...

@rene based on OP's posting history, seems not, only a very unclear question since there's no code.

@rene Just flag it. I've never worked with that, so maybe someone knows what he's talking about.

I already close voted, I got it in the cvq

but I was wondering if it was more than just a bad question, hence my inquiry

@hichris123 I just noticed a Keeping a Low Profile message too - don't like it.

Is there a chat room where you can post vague questions if you can't edit them yourself (not enough rep/unfamiliar with the subject)?

@LynnCrumbling That makes more sense.

@Sue what's wrong with it? (the desktop)

@LynnCrumbling It's old, sad, slow and keeps getting viruses, although we just started using a new Malware.

7:42 PM

@Sue yeah, sorry I couldn't explain it better at 3AM local time :)

@Sue So it has a virus right now?

@Sue people here could tell you how to fix it. How do you feel about Linux?

@Sue Ah, gotcha.

@Sue Maybe you should stop using Malware

@AndrewT. No biggie-I didn't know where you come from. What are you doing up?

@LynnCrumbling I think not at the moment because the Geek Squad just spent hours with it a few weeks ago.

7:45 PM

@Sue just another insomnia~

@yellowantphil What's Linux?

@Sue Ah, ok... why do you think it's unhealthy?

@Sue it’s like Windows, except doesn’t get viruses and you can’t run some software on it. Microsoft Office won’t run, browsers will. Depends on what you want to do with your computer

@Sue it may be tricky walking you through an installation though

@LynnCrumbling Cuz it does dumb stuff like crash for no reason.

Linux can speed up old computers, but it takes time to get it all set up. Would be easiest to find a Linux person near you and have them work on it

7:47 PM

@Sue Ah, ok. Well, that could be a function of overheating (too much dust in the case) or a function of bad software/drivers installed.

^ yeah, clean out any dust with the computer turned off and unplugged

And the mouse pointer jumps around without touching the mouse. Happens no matter what type of field I'm using.

I just had to take an air compressor to mine. Too many dustbunnies in there; video card fan couldn't spin fast enough.

Touchpad, or physical mouse?

The moving cursor is one of the most annoying things. I keep having to re-type.

what kind of mouse is it? does it have a ball or laser?

7:51 PM

@LynnCrumbling Either/both!

@yellowantphil The mouse is a Logitech laser.

@Sue does it happen if you unplug the physical mouse?

@yellowantphil Sadly, nothing to unplug-just laser. Without a compressor, what's the best way to clean it?

@Sue is the mouse wireless? to clean things, I have one of these things amazon.com/Giottos-Rocket-Blaster-Blower-Large/dp/B00017LSPI/…

^ it’s also nice for stoking a fire

I was no where near space bar or enter, or the mouse!

@yellowantphil The mouse is pretty new, so it's probably the computer.

8:06 PM

@Sue wouldn’t hurt

Sadly, my son is a computer engineer but he lives in New York, and doesn't have any interest in our computer problems! That's kids for ya!

does he come to visit? “Oh son, by the way, I need that computer fixed before we eat dinner!”

@AndrewT. I think it was views

One last question since you've all been so so so kind. The Geeks told us a lot of the viruses are coming from Facebook, but we only use it rarely, and FB says they've fixed that.

I can’t think of how Facebook would have given you viruses. Do you click on lots of ads?

or have spammer friends???

8:09 PM

My answer on UX.SE, which has more than 20+ votes (just because it's on hot network question) is not listed on my profile page. Is it because the question is closed as dupe?

That could be the reason

@yellowantphil Nope - he's got the grandkids so we always go there. We never click on ads, and no spammer friends, except those who eat spam, and I don't allow those people in my house :))))))

I'll give it a good cleaning, and have the geeks back, and will see if that helps!

@Sue huh, I don’t know then. if Geek Squad comes out for free on contract, maybe just have them check it out now and then and make sure it’s working?

@yellowantphil Will definitely do that. They have to earn their money!

@Sue Smokey’s ways are inscrutable. At least, I don’t know what he’s set to do

@yellowantphil If a user approves your edit, but then improves it, I think Community approves it.

@yellowantphil so - the "Improve Edit" button.

@LynnCrumbling oh, that’s it. The edit is attributed to somebody else

@yellowantphil That's too bad - you're the one who handled it immediately!

it says I edited it immediately followed by somebody else now

@yellowantphil That's cool. Glad you got your rep!

If anybody specifically hates that, can you let me know? Either way, I'm going to do the cleaning thing next, and have the mouse looked at.

@Sue Malware is “bad software.” You want software to protect you from malware... you don’t want malware itself.

@Sue I left desktop support a long time ago so I'm afraid any advice from me is outdated ...

I don't know what you guys are talking about but fwiw I wholeheartedly endorse the belaboring of points.

@JasonC :)

@Sue malware killer

@yellowantphil Okay, so I'll consider it a positive thing.

@Sue yep. I haven’t heard of that specific software, but it should be fine

I should have known about Malware, cuz if I correctly remember my college french, Mal means sick!

yep, which is why “Maybe you should stop using Malware” was kind of funny :)

> the questions here are already mired in asking about the buzzword itself… like it's some specific thing you can point to and ask "How and when do you do gamification?" But "doing gamification" is like saying "doing marketing" or "doing psychology." A site that actually does marketing or does psychology doesn't ask such broad questions. They're actually solving real problems in these fields… not asking about the field itself...

Q: Top bar showing "NEW FEATURES" orange banner

2

I noticed a banner saying there are new features in my top bar: When hovering over it: I'm not new, I already visited this new profile. Why did I get the banner? If it is intentional, what new updates are there to help improve the profile page or whatever thing you updated?

support bug top-bar messages

That seems... quite annoying no matter if you're a new user or not.

Not if you don't see it at all.

Why do I get the feeling that the design team behind the new profile page is way too proud of their work?

user259867

The point of SE is to be good without needing to tell someone that. Not to say "HEY! We made the profile page less horrible... maybe..."

@hichris123 * may or may not be less horrible

@2mkgz This site looks strange.

user259867

Less useful. More disorganized. Like "last seen" not being shown on the Activity tab.

When you have to Google what it is, you know something's wrong.

@2mkgz I think disjoint is a good word for it. It probably helps users who just want to see who a user is, but it hurts most active users.

@hichris123 *disjointed

Well, if we're doing s/disorganized//, yeah.

Both disjoint and disjointed are adjectives, but the meaning is different.

user259867

@2mkgz Welcome, to the world of tomorrow's English! Nothing's changed.

I don't think "disjoint" can be applied to a single noun.

Don't argue with me. If you want some validation take it to meta, see how that fares.

@JasonC the question is unclear by all definitions, so, the answer is wrong

cv-pls stackoverflow.com/review/triage/7825206

The answerers interpretation is a valid interpretation among many.

And you didn't dv the answer because you thought it was wrong, you dv'd the answer to help out roomba. Which is whack. You can't retroactively go back and rationalize it with a more palatable reason.

Well if you had specified that in your original question, I could have immediately told you it's not possible at all on an Android device. Cheers for wasting my time! — Ed George Apr 9 at 16:44

That new Triage dialog is good.

it seems weird that you can pass along review tasks like that

be a bit careful with that, since if you open the task and don't review it, it won't be assigned to anyone else for a little while.

@Shog9 Is there a limit to the number of tasks a single user can have open? Or can I start DDOSing triage now?

@JasonC I'd have to check with Geoff on that; might be, probably should be.

Q: NTFS performance and large volumes of files and directories

How does Windows with NTFS perform with large volumes of files and directories? Is there any guidance around limits of files or directories you can place in a single directory before you run into performance problems or other issues? e.g. is a folder with 100,000 folders inside of it an ok thing...

windows performance filesystems ntfs

@Shog9 There was a comment to that effect on the question. It might be worth adding as a misleading connection in my list. It is related to file count, not remaining free space.

@Shog9 What would you think about migrating that to SU?

Also it only affects performance of the specific directories that have lots of files. If you're storing 100,000 files in your Windows system folder, have fun. But that's probably not what normal people are doing when they notice their PC feels sluggish.

@hichris123 It's a bit old.

Perhaps... not sure if NTFS has changed much recently, however.
