It's all relative. I *rarely* buy gas! Doesn't mean that I don't buy gas, I do. But *RARE* in comparison to the averages! SEVEN fillups per YEAR is kind of a MAX for me. 7 x 16 = 112. A *far cry* from 500 to 600. I'll pit my "carbon footprint" against anybody that wants to take up the challenge.

Not sure where that came from. My 11yr old car only gets 28 miles to the gallon. Its emissions are no where near that of something from '64. For the record, cars from '64 should be thought of as a Faberge Egg. You look at it and don't touch it, it doesn't get played with. People that own "classic" cars don't drive them but a small handful of times a year. Count them on one hand. I wouldn't really call that "killing the planet". Remember, you have to look at the Bigger Picture. There is a ***TON*** of emissions spewed into the air in order to manufacture today's modern cars. Think about the offsets. Shut the manufacturing facility down, stop all of those emissions, and force people to own their vehicles for longer than 2 or 3 years at a time! THAT will "save the planet". BUILDING cars is KILLING THE PLANET. Seriously, the mere act of BUILDING the car KILLS THE PLANET *way* more than DRIVING IT. Give me some credit. One 16 gallon tank of gas lasts me almost TWO MONTHS. I walk or peddle a bike WAY more than I drive my car. WAY more. Shouldn't I get some credit for that? Or do you really "hate" me that much and can't be seen EVER "agreeing" with me on anything ???

Sorry, yes. Bill Gates, I like him. It's just Windows isn't up to my taste since 7. Western European rich are actually fine, we have lots of them here, in Switzerland, They do contribute. "Crown Princess Mary of Denmark cycles her children to school in cold ..." While @NotHereToPlayGames pollutes the air with the 1964(?) vehicle. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3427493/Crown-Princess-Mary-braves-snow-cycle-children-school-bitterly-cold-Copenhagen.html

I'll add this. If you approve of billionaires spending billions on climate change initiatives, you really should think twice about ever referring to Microsoft as M$. Bill Gates has spent $2 billion just since 2015 towards climate change, so pat yourself on the back for buying Windows and the profits going toward a "good cause".

Then report after report of how the MONEY that we sent them, FOR A GOOD CAUSE, did nothing but "fill their pockets", buy them a luxury mansion, a gigantic yacht, and multiple luxury cars. But hey, the mere ACT of SENDING the money gave a nice "warm fuzzy feeling" and boosted my ego into being "better than" anybody that did NOT donate money to the "cause".

He was referring to billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Al Gore, Bill Gates. Individuals that have carbon footprints that are larger than some entire countries. I'm mixed on this. Part of me sees it as a form of "see below", part of me sees it as they have so much money, they need to spend it on something, so why not spend it on "good causes". First part-of-me would suggest they went "rags to riches" *BECAUSE* they are climate activists. Second part-of-me would suggest they are ALREADY billionaires, they can't spend it fast enough, so spend it on something that is a "good cause" *AND* increases their POPULARITY. The "see below" aspect. You have to consider how things are done in the "philanthropic culture" of the USA. It is GIGANTICALLY common to use THIRD WORLD SCENERY to get people to DONATE to CAUSES. Like a third-world baby that needs medical attention. "If this child tugs at your heart, SEND US MONEY so we can help this child." Like a third-world grandma with no food and a pot of MUD, *literally*, on the stove. "If this tugs at your heart, SEND US MONEY so we can help this grandma." Like a DOG (man's best friend) with only three legs, SHIVERING in the snow, visible rib cage. "If this tugs at your heart, SEND US MONEY so we can help this homeless dog." Climate change "requests for money" are done the same way here in the US. Scare tactics, fearmongering, theoretical apocalyptic visions of a future desert wasteland if we don't ACT *NOW* - "If this tugs at your heart, SEND US MONEY so we can prevent this."

Did you mean Ice Age? This winter in my region is very dry! The previous ones I spent in Denmark, they were warmer than usual.Summers in Denmark also became hotter. I can personally confirm the below! "Summers in Denmark have become hotter due to climate change, with average temperatures rising significantly over the years. The summer of 2024 was recorded as the warmest on record in Europe, highlighting the increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves in the region. copernicus.eu climatechangepost.com"

Ok, I paid some time to check what happens. With high probability clearing this bit is palliative. It will work only on PCI-E devices. But HDA Controller can be pure PCI device that needs uncached buffers or flushing cache explicitly to work properly with very high probability. And JFYI - older Indel HDA controllers are PCI-E devices but newer (including my test system) are PCI. P.S. And second JFYI - MS driver work with this bit set on.

You can read all about it in the Wiki. Deno can't be used on Windows 7. Node can be used if you use this fork. Take node-v20.19.2-win-x64.zip. extract to e.g. C:\Bin\Node and add that folder to your PATH. Can also be done via CMD as administrator: setx /m PATH "%PATH%;C:\Bin\Node" QuickJS can also be used, but it's rather slow (put qjs.exe and libwinpthread-1.dll next to yt-dlp.exe). Then add to your config file: --js-runtimes quickjs Or: --js-runtimes node

Realtek ALC887 @ Intel Comet Point-V PCH (Intel Core gen 10 Desktop Motherboard), of course.

WDMHDA Alpha-016 is a miracle! Got audio successfully working on following platforms: 1. Lenovo ThinkPad X230 (Realtek ALC269) - both built-in speakers and headphone jack 2. Lenovo ThinkPad X260 (Realtek ALC293) - both built-in speakers and headphone jack 3. ASRock Z77 Pro3 (Realtek ALC892) - only rear audio port 4. ASUS P5Q PRO (Realtek ALC1200) - only rear audio port 5. MSI PRO H610M-B DDR4 (Realtek ALC892/ALC897) - both read and front audio ports I've described more details here: https://github.com/andrew-hoffman/WDMHDA/discussions/30 From the brief testing, I've only noticed the Mute All and volume slider bug described here: https://github.com/andrew-hoffman/WDMHDA/issues/39

I'm not rich in the sense you mean, I clearly have no agenda, nevertheless, I personally observe the global warming affecting my country. Rather recently, the same observation was made by @D.Draker, and what about the winters in your region? How do they feel like, with all these years passing by? You don't have to tell us the exact location. We already understand you're a native English speaker, in contrast to some others. Thank you.

The latest update to yt-dlp works out of the box again with an "ios downgraded" method. And there no sleep. They recommend it now, but there isn't. I didn't know you could use those conditionals [height<=1080][ext=mp4] which would help with changing format numbers. Can you point me to instructions about how to use a "JS runtime" with yt-dlp on Win Seven? Is this an exe I drop or is there more to it?

Never mind, ignore those non-English! They have terrible difficulties understanding. You don't have to apologise for your legit, on topic questions! Of course, the earth isn't doing anything, it's constantly trying to get rid of the filth by creating storms, hurricanes, using the polar air recently, but is it enough? Will it get back to the Stone Age?

Thank you,I tried to edit them by myself,but lots of them original files could hardly be found online especially in China including Generic_USB3_6.1.7800.0 Generic_USBParent_6.2.9200.22279 Generic_UASP_1.0.0.51

As attested already by @j7n, ALL ANDR-S formats are now being 403'd ; in latest yt-dlp releases (stable, nightly, master update channels), the ANDR-S client has been removed: The ios client m3u8 (aka HLS) formats are NOT behind an n/sig challenge, so a JS runtime shouldn't be needed for them, unless you also want the WEB-S client's m3u8 formats ... Thanks ; that rules out, then, directly asking them for a NT 6.0 compatible version ? (though I later realised that a "certain" member is there, too ...) I'll probably will, but likely over the coming weekend ... Thanks for your precious time supporting "legacy" Windows OSes - you're a true hero ...

Major bummer! I've never actually used yt-dlp, but there is certainly a VERY large following. I guess that shows the popularity of yt-dlp, the ONLY reason Google would "unleash" would be if TENS OF THOUSANDS of videos are being downloaded using this method. Google really wouldn't "care" if we were talking a few here, a few there. Or they're looking at it from how many PER DAY are "abusing the system", so to speak.

More bad news (wrt YT and yt-dlp) : https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/11868#issuecomment-2560431566 Oh, BTW, the `--live-from-start` feature on LIVE YT streams is now BROKEN, too : https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/15751 (if you ask me, it's all-out-war Google have unleashed against the YT-downloading apps, but it appears they have their focus especially on yt-dlp ) .

sorry for using that phrasing i wasnt sure how to phrase it just was curious is all

I am assuming that question was directed to @Monroe. I for one am not and have not claimed that the "earth isn't doing anything" (I'm not exactly sure what that even means, specifically.) My perspective is one of "conservation". Sure, my old vehicle only gets 28 miles to the gallon. BUT you have to factor in the Whole Picture. I only have to fill the tank SEVEN times in an ENTIRE YEAR. My neighbor owns a Prius. Another neighbor is dating a guy that owns a Tesla. BOTH of them drive OVER AN HOUR one way to and from work. The Prius is a hybrid and she has to fill the gas tank AT LEAST once a week. I don't know anything about the Tesla guy. But I use that Prius as the PERFECT example. You tell me, is my SEVEN fillups per YEAR "bad" for the environment compared to his FIFTY TWO AT LEAST ???

wow! wow! wow! it is really WORK WITHOUT PROBLEMS on my machine! THANKS YOU! Oh, mein Gott...

May i ask nicely what peer-reviewed sources do you have that prove the earth isn't doing anything?

Which system are you still having the looping problem on? Is it the Nvidia MCP78 or the Sunrise Point PCH or something else? The DXDiag test failure seems to be due to restricting the available sound data formats to 22050 hz or greater (and only happens on my VM with DirectX 6.1, it does not happen with DirectX 9 either way). I will undo this change in the next release and fix the issue of 8-11khz WAV sounds crackling properly, by creating smaller buffers.

Funny, instead saying thanks for sharing, another request? And yes I have them all, spend a lot of time with them.

Agreed. But the problem is that "indoctrinating" people is VERY EASY and once indoctrinated, there is no such thing as "open debate". When folks have to resort to cuss words, name calling, and throwing bricks through windows to "be heard", you know there will never ever be a real "conversation" ever again.
