Whoa. Dinosaur Onion is a hard octave to achieve okay.

[@perez9619]

Indeed, very difficult. /)

i heard a guy do it on his bass one day. his amp blew out just as he fell to his knees in agonizing pain. he died the next day in the hospital. his last words were, "FEAR THE MIGHTY DINOSAUR ONION!".

If I ever start writing music, I'm going to write Dinosaur Onion for every E-flat, just to confuse everyone.

[@notmuch_23]

This is why standards are *GOOD* . If every sound card, video card, network card, or hard drive had at least one standard interface protocol, you would only need one good driver for each. Then companies can write add-ons to these drivers for features of their products, and if the add-on has problems, the system will default to the standard driver. Features will go unused, but your system will still be able to use the basic operations of the device without crashing.

[@heterotrophic]

What a smart way to get me to watch all his videos. I started with the SDK video, it led me to the API video, and now the API video has led me here.

[@Togstech]

Clean, not over the top, and really usefull to teach what software is to friends who aren't in the whole tech world. Thanks again Linus!

[@randeepbimbh]

32 and 64 represents the no bus support your OS has..... here 32 just represents 32 bus... and same for 64

[@jchevertonwynne]

Tyler Schloesser nailed it

[@animeguy4762]

1 bit Is 1 And 0 for precessor And if you have 32 bit processor Its 32x2 = 64 numbers And if you have an 64 bit processor Its Is 64x2=128 numbers to workshop with.

[@manmeth]

You can only use 4 GBs on a 32bit system and as much as ram on a 64bit system(Supported by the cpu and the motherboard).

[@ninorokr]

It doesn't matter if this aren't "as fast as possible" what I like is the amount of information given and the examples and comparisons are very useful

[@renatugaming5730]

essentially, they are translators. If you think about this, your operating system might tell a printer to print 2 pages double sided. Let's say your operating system can speak multiple languages, english, spanish, etc. The operating system however is not understand french. The printer however, only speaks french and doesn't speak english. Now you have a problem, you can't get across the message without a translator, which would be the device driver. Now, what happens if you don't have your drivers updated, which happens with some people's computers, windows sometimes doesn't automatically do it so you have to do it through a program like driver easy. It would be like you speaking modern english and someone is speaking old english from the medieval times. You can't understand!!! Hope this helps you if you need a decent analogy.

[@Taratouille.]

You should start your own tech channel as well

[@federicokpable]

i remember doing that on windows 98 with my bodoo banshee to get glide support, the drivers that came with the card didnt supported and the glide drivers didnt install, so to get full api support (d3d, glide 2.x, 3.x and open gl) y had to force windows to take them, i learned that in those days, i was just a kid and really helped me to undertand how drivers work, its funny that this kind of things keep working, maybe because the pc architecture still work the same today in the very basics of course. Btw love your videos linus.

[@konataizumi5258]

drivers are sys files with inf as description (like vid:pid for which devices driver is) and crt as signatures ... don't forget about USB standard Classes - that's way keyboards, mouses, external storage, printers(they need just drivers to render page) use one standard driver per class and it works

I've been force-installing the Microsoft USB RNDIS6 driver everytime I connected a phone to my computer and enabled USB network tethering to fix the terribly slow network settings UI on my hardware.

[@brucethen]

Many years ago, I would boot my PC up and 1 of 2 things would happen 1) Windows would boot and run normally 2) A program would try to use rundll32 while another one was using it, this would cause a conflict and rundll32 error. The only way to get the computer to do anything was to reset of turn off and try again.
