Talk:Digital Sound System 80

message: The plastic that the Torx screws go into to hold the subwoofer together now in 2023 is breaking apart when trying to remove the screws. since it destroys the female approx. 1-2 inch long screw threaded plastic there is not a way to put the screws back in. I have a Hum or feedback loop but it is not coming from the output to the speakers. I have tried plugging the power into the same port as the computer. I have tried separating it as well. I have tried adding a ground feedback loop isolator into the input, but because there is not a DIN loop isolator it was suggested that there may be a lose solder connection, so I took the sub apart, but cannot put it together since the long plastic nut is now destroyed on 6 places which hold the top of the cabinet for the subwoofer on. I wish that Phillips would publish the specs of the not produced plastic so we could 3D print it. Does anyone know if the specs are available somewhere?

Is there a reference linking the 1797 ship with the one built in 1784? Additionally, the Friendship of Salem is listed as 342-ton, while this article gives 278.

message: The "Discussion" section does not seem like an encyclopedic entry, rather a narrow-scope list of gripes, not supported by referenced facts, attempting to highlight apparently negative aspects of the company.

* Direct2D has primitives for drawing lines, circles, etc. using textured brushes.Microsoft. "Brushes Overview"
* Direct2D supports high-quality (but slow) typography, preferebly with the aid of DirectWrite.Microsoft. "Text Rendering with Direct2D and DirectWrite" In fact, if you draw text without DirectWrite, Direct2D will use it internally. Microsoft. "ID2D1RenderTarget::DrawText method"
* Direct2D does not give you direct access to the frame buffer, at least not as far as I can tell.
* Direct2D doesn't provide accurate access to the pixels; it provides "device independent pixels" which are then scaled to match the actual hardware. Microsoft. "Direct2D and High-DPI
Compare to the features for DirectDraw:
* Bit-block transfers (blits)
* Page flipping and multiple back buffers
* Overlays, which is placing one image surface over another on the video display
* Alpha source over destination blending, which is blending two surfaces using the source alpha image component
* Video YUV pixel formats and color conversion

message: The sentence "A component which implements IUnknown is sometimes called an ActiveX component" is misleading.

:If such open source libraries are developed but unsupported, the only reasonable thing to do for their articles would be to add that information. Just because such information may be lacking elsewhere, doesn't mean that information should be taken away from this one. The net result of that action would be a worsening of Wikipedia's quality, not an improvement. Always try being constructive. As for the reason this is brought up here, it is probably particularly because Microsoft used to support the library. If you can get paid support for this library, yes, then that should be added to the article too.

Talk:Kernel-Mode Driver Framework

message: The article doesn't explicitly mention whether the KMDF is the current and recommended framework for current versions of windows (i.e. 7), or is only of historical interest; it only mentions 'Windows 2000 and beyond'. Since there were changes to the way drivers were handled when Vista was introduced, undoubtedly there will be a large number of people that simply don't expect a single framework to cater for Windows 2000 and Vista/7, and may interpret the article simply as meaning 2000, XP and Windows Server 2003.
As I understand it, it is current, and as well as implementing all the commonly needed infrastructure, it's supposed to insulate the driver author from the differences between the various versions of Windows. The current article doesn't make that clear, and since I've not used anything since the Win 2000 DDK I'm really not the best person to expand this. If someone out there is sure about this (rather fundamental) issue, could you add something appropriate?
