This is not my PC, it's my work PC (which is worse). If it were up to me, I would do everything with FOSS, but it is mandatory to use Adobe, which has been getting worse day after day.

The computer is not the best, but it runs Inkscape and Krita smoothly. Adobe is fucking bloatware.

That's at least 40% Red. Op's computer is 0% Red.

Do you have to ruin everything?

Impossible, their username is joyjoy!

Disco? At 100%? Your PC likes to party, dang

[–] [email protected] 45 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Looks kind of like the computer has run out of RAM and is trying to use its swap file to make up for it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

yeah, I know how much you have or what your (OP's) computer is. I had an older laptop with 12GB of RAM, which was not enough for all the applications we had to do. I asked my boss for more and he asked other people how much they had. Turns out the laptop had 4 RAM slots so I got like 44GB of RAM or something. It's worth asking though. Send your boss this screenshot and tell him what's up. You can probably get a RAM upgrade or a different laptop.

Disco go burr

[–] paddythegeek 23 points 4 days ago

I fucking hate Adobe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Based on 100% disk usage, you probably use HDD (Check performance section in Task manager to see disk model to confirm that). Windows performance on HDD is awful since around Windows 8. SSD is pretty much a requirement for Windows, otherwise you will have terrible experience.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Send that picture to your manager, then complain frequently until they give you an SSD

Yeah, OP is over here with like 4GB of RAM, wondering why their drive is getting hit so hard. It’s cuz you’re totally out of RAM, and the OS is using the disc instead.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My firm just managed to sell switching to Kofax/PowerPDF from Adobe for PDF editing. I can only hope more companies follow suit! Adobe will change nothing until they feel people's frustrations in their bottom line.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Honestly just use whatever PDF editor you feel like. It really doesn't matter unless someone tries to use Adobe.

Reasons why Macromedia is superior

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

How big is the file u working on? And what alternative FOSS program would u rather be working on. I haven't looked into FOSS alternatives to illustrator in a while.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

Gotta admit it's a really big file, like half a gigabyte. Although a moth ago this wasn't a big problem.

Currently Inkscape seems to me to be a good alternative, with each update the thing only gets better, contrary to Adobe...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Are you stuck using an old spinny drive or what? If that’s an SSD, wtf is adobe doing?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think it is an old HDD. In my office new equipment is not abundant, only the design department, to which I belong and which is not so big, has this kind of problems.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That it exactly the department that should be spoiled with high spec equipment.

In other countries, maybe. But not in Mi Venezuela Querida ❤️🇻🇪

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Venezuela is under US sanctions and lacks trust by people international so that makes sense. You probably will need to make do.

WeChat was the first thing I noticed

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Mandatory use for internal company communication.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

WeChat?

I can't see how that could go wrong

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I really don't know why my Chinese bosses use WeChat, with the bad reputation it has in the West. I deduce three possibilities:

  1. they don't know
  2. They don't care
  3. They are more confident that (possibly) they are being spied on by their home country government than by Meta and the US.
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

WeChat is Chinese so it makes sense. I would be careful working for Chinese or other foreign companies as there is a high chance of human rights abuse and low chance of human trafficking.

I have no idea what's wrong in this picture. Software using some disk and memory? Oh noes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

have no idea what's wrong in this picture. Software using some disk and memory? Oh noes.

Nononono, Software using ALL disk and TOO MUCH memory. This is as if it takes all the energy and resources of your entire body to move one hand, so the rest of your body goes into a coma, you become blind, deaf, mute, your heart races and you can't think straight until your hand stops moving.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If 37MB/s is 100% of your disk then it's your disk's fault. That's not even 5% of a modern solid state disk. That's also not a lot of memory for modern intensive programs such as you're using.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's not OP's fault the company gives them a good ol' spinning disk to work with.

Could it be the scratch disk that's working on overdrive?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 days ago

I also have to deal with spinning rust at work and working with large programs (Visual Studio in my case), but I don't blame the modern large software for not running well on 1990s hardware.
