Hi @msonenote - I used to be able to search easily for a specific section tab as I have many. This seems to have disappeared in the latest Windows app update making section finding a tedious trawl. What is the new way to easily locate sections?

With Intel's announcement that they've isolated the Raptor Lake VMin instability issue to a clock tree circuit, the whole saga is making a lot more sense. Getting that far into the weeds (and ruling out everything else) is a ton of work community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-…

Tip for anyone who runs with a lot of browser tabs: If you use Edge, Chrome, or any Chromium based browser, you can press CTRL + Shift + A to search your open and recently closed tabs The ones playing audio or video are listed at the top

Task manager trivia: "Keeping it Small" When you press ctrl-shift-esc, winlogon launches taskmgr.exe, and the first thing it does it look for a running instance and activate that instead if it passes certain runtime tests. That means it takes at least as long to activate task manager as it does to load the exe, so I wanted to keep it small. The story is that to keep the whole thing under 100K (I think it shipped at 86K) I couldn't afford to link in the CRT, but still wanted to use C++. The C++ compiler assumes the CRT will be linked in to do housekeeping like calling the constructors of global objects. So, what I wound up doing was defining the sections that the linker would expect from the CRT and then at runtime I manually walk the tables that the linker inserts for initializing global C++ objects. Basically, the linker emits a list of constructors and since the CRT doesn't call them, I call them manually. The net is full C++ but with no runtimes. The older me wonders why I didn't just link to the runtime dll, but I was likely trying to avoid linking to anything directly other than user32 and gdi32. Any other DLLs, I figured, could hang. So I don't even link to shell32, I do a manual GetProcAddress every time I need to call a shell function, and I do it on a separate thread in case it never comes back. I was pretty paranoid about that stuff, but at least in the earlier versions when memory was tight, I think it paid off! If you enjoy these random historical musings, follow me for more!

Seeing all the news about Lunar Lake-MX and MoP – That reminds me of Intel showing the capabilities of its packaging technology in Arizona where they showed this:

"John Capp, [GM's] director of vehicle safety technology, strategy and regulation, stressed that there is not enough data about pedestrian traffic deaths to understand the causes." That's BS. We absolutely know that car bloat is killing pedestrians. 🧵 wusa9.com/article/news/n…
