The 5 volumes of Song For Neil ( rush covers and Neil tributes) fills the Peart sized hole in my life after I have binged a few rush albums. (Also that I got both my teenage boys into Rush and they talk to me about all the gems they find).

I JUST found a FireWire cable in the stash too

Long live FireWire!

Loved seeing so many familiar colleagues in the video!

I made a George Burns Oh God You Devil reference today. Utter and complete miss with everyone in the room.

Maybe Section 31 is good in the Mirror Universe

Felt the same way cutting my teeth on the ps2 keyboard and mouse driver. Cutler threatened to have me fired me more than once. And every OEM adding weird custom stuff on a non extendible bus (looking at you Sony and IBM).

❤️ TIL why it beeped. I had no idea you were connected to this one!

Walking down the halls to find the beeping workstation….

I was responsible for moving from razzle in the WDK to msbuild. Three year compatibility gardening exercise I will never get back.

NT razzle?

Congrats for both the crystal and another case!

Don't miss the next wave

(after missing mobile, have to be in it to win it)

Yes, entirely on the device for falling off the bus on idle. You might be lucky and there is a firmware update?

And this setting only disables S0 power management. The device tree will still power off on Sx and modern standby independent of this setting.

On the HC and root hub it will disable idle power management for all downstream devices. You can find the right upstream devices by changing the view to by connection in device manager. Maybe the mid stream hub has a power management toggle which limits the impact.

Did you try disabling idle power management (“allow windows to turn this device off”) on the upstream host controller and root hub device manager prop pages?

Phenomenal

Yes, thanks for the correction. The two GCs working SxS (and still unaware of each other?) is pretty remarkable.

Not to mention the two CLRs cooperatively running in the same process.

😂 99% sure I was behind this car last night and made exactly the same comment

Saw the same. Retried a few times. Eventually worked. Not sure if it was the retried or latency issue.

You pretty much nailed it. The WDM era from win98 through millennium/XP added to the fun, but thankfully it was only about adding .nt to the model section.

Memories of grepping through many WDK RCs to verify they were code name free.

IOW AFAIK disabling co installers doesn’t change this behavior as it is core part of the pnp device install engine (based on being the dev lead for the pnp install team 2016-18 and driving DCH functionality)

Part of the effort to eliminate to coinstallers (DCH driver packages) added the ability for the package to reference and install store apps declaratively.

This KMDF experiment predated Redhawk. He went down the rabbit hole and if IIRC wrote his own compiler as well. As you can guess he later ended up on the Midori team.

Exactly what he did. This was in the same era, 2005-07. He thought it was going to be the future, turns out he was 20 years ahead of his time.

Was this rotor based? For the KMDF 1.0 release my dev lead had a functioning c# driver with no GC based on a Rotor fork he created.
