It was worse than that. When using the last .5 GB, it was unable to access the 3.5GB

They are doing a lot better than I expected. When they first launched I had the unpleasant experience of using an A310. It couldn't even play a youtube. Frame rates dropped from how many frames per second to how many seconds per frame. I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting, I told the guy who bought it to take it back. Now it looks like they are a reasonable graphics card, certainly viable for older games.

I like to wait for games to go on sale, my only problem is playing them after I buy them and I've forgotten the hype. What did you buy this summer? For me, a lot of controller based games. Days Gone Dead Cells Deep Rock Galactic (Keyboard/Mouse) Mark of the Ninja: Remastered Nolta Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Spelunky 2 theHunter:Call of the Wild Total War: Shogun Valheim I've decided I'm going to try and put 2 hours into each game before the return period has ended. I still have 4 games from last year I never played. I am absolutely amazed by Spelunky 2. I grew up in the Mario era, and this game can be brutal. I love that the game never becomes easier, it's not about grinding for stats, it's about skill. I'm also looking forward to Days Gone. I haven't played a lot of Playstation games, but this one makes me wish I had. 2.1 hours, non-refundable and I don't want to. What are your recommendations?

Windows store was more than a software deployment platform. At the time it was released, everyone knew how to get software, so they decided to offer something extra, sandboxing. The sandbox functions more like a Virtual Machine to keep systems from intermingling/infecting others. At launch a lot (if not all?) of the stuff was in a 32 bit VM so the performance was very lackluster. Microsoft Flight Simulator purchased off Steam would run heaps and bounds better than MFS purchased off the Microsoft Store. (The Irony). There was an instance where the Epic Games Store would snoop on Steam files to find people's friends list and games list. Steam should have had those files encrypted, but it's easy to see why they wouldn't think a list of games or random names would be important. If the Epic Games Store had been sand boxed it wouldn't have been able to snoop on Steam. Windows 10+ (pro versions), had a new hypervisor released with the fall creators pack update. Having played with that hypervisor, I'm impressed, and it will probably be my go to instead of VMware. I've got a couple people who's software only runs on old stuff, so the hypervisor is really nice. If they haven't already reworked the Microsoft Store VM interface, they should. I'll never know. The Microsoft Store got such a bad rap when it first released that I have never touched it. As for ARM gaming, most companies (including the 2022 surface), use X86 for their higher priced/performance systems. There is still a performance gap, though it may not be as big as it feels when working with the available hardware. Apple still sells a lot of systems to graphics designers ($$$), so the performance is there if people are willing to spend. But they are still contending with years of backlog catalog.

ARM has a lot of support and development, mainly because it isn't constrained behind the x86 licensing agreement. Apple has chosen it as their for runner for a while now and cellphones are mostly ARM based. Both China and Russia have an interest in developing their own ARM chips. The demand is there, the market just hasn't adjusted to x86 holding the throne for so long. AMD also talked about using a concept similar to ARM cluster compute nodes for their graphics cards, supposedly the 7900XTX could have been a lot beefier card, but they are still trying to complete with Nvidia and hadn't quite worked out the latency between clusters. AKA it was safer and easier to just keep the ball rolling, but they are spending R&D on it and it is a concern to Nvidia. Microsoft has done a LOT to try and stay on top in the gaming market. There's a reason DirectX is always locked behind the latest Windows operating system. No doubt they are scrambling to maintain their choke hold on the gaming market, while accepting that hardware is opening up.

This is a kind offer, and I may take you up on it. Noob question, how do I know what OS is the right OS? When I pulled it, the system mentioned Sierra, but that almost feels akin to android, and google points to 2017 as the era it was released. There's also the thought that the system wasn't functioning... Another question, what are the legalities of MacOS .iso? I'm used to Windows/Linux verification, please tell me MacOS isn't the Nintendo of operating systems (can/will destroy all opposition). Thanks for the response. I've had this laptop for 3 weeks now, there's another guy in the neighborhood who supposedly ran the university IT department and could help, but I've been unable to flag him down.

I'm attempting to fix a neighbors 2012 macbook air. It doesn't boot. I was able to access the boot menu, where the traditionally suggested fix boot option didn't work, nor did the image of the original mac OS. I don't have an apple account and am unable to login to the apple store, so I do not know where to get a good .iso for macbooks. I did succeed in putting Linux Mint on it, but the camera and wifi drivers aren't working, so that's my alternative route. Wade through Linux driver issues... Being that this was originally a macbook, which means they like macs, I feel I should respect that and put the OS they are familiar with on it. Any advice is appreciated. I don't play with Macs much. I've always felt their OS is inferior, but their hardware usually works or it doesn't. It's not often Mac users ask for help.

I fly planes with no engine. The shoddy landscape picture quality is because my canopy was fogging up that day. Last flight was 3 hours 15 minutes, my toes were so cold they were hurting. Gliders don't have a heater!

Google's Search algorithm leaks and it contradicts what Google says WWW.ANDROIDAUTHORITY.COM Google Search's algorithm has allegedly leaked, giving us insight into how it works, but also contradicting Google's... Major news for search engines, which are arguably one of the most important gates for internet traffic (the other being dns servers). If you own a business, you cater to the google search algorithim. My buddy wanted me to do SEO work for him, but I didn't like the idea of one engineer tweaking the algorithim and all my studying/work being for nothing.

Ublock Origin is a must, I put it on every computer I touch. NoScript is for power users. It's on all my personal computers and phone. It takes a while to get used to, but once setup for common webpages, it's easy to forget about. It really helps cut down the bloat that a lot of webpages have. PrivacyBadger, helps stop mass tracking like google and facebook, but it's largly redundent with NoScript because I don't let those sources run on their own. HTTPS everywhere. I used to use, but it seems like this function is largly baked into Firefox now.

I've done this using wifi bands without actually wiring the routers. This was with a stock netgear router and one flashed with openWRT. The openwrt router was configured as an access point and was using the 5ghz network to pick up the netgear router 5ghz. This allowed me to plug a computer into the openwrt router and use it as a wifi card, while still rebroadcasting on the 2.4 ghz band. It worked well, the only problem I ran into was accessing router configs. Both wanted to claim 192.168.1.1 as the default router page. My OpenWRT router seemed to have a bug in the webpage client that did not allow the IP address to change. Swapping the netgear router to 192.168.2.1 allowed me to access both router config pages. I can confirm, Netgear router will not by default allow config of the 2nd router, they are 2 different networks stacked on top of each other. For physical cable wiring, in network+ class they talk about 2 different network cables. Twisted pairs and standard. A twisted pair can be ran from 1 router to another without using the yellow connection on the 2nd router. A non-twisted pair will need to be plugged into the yellow connection on the 2nd router. It has to do with how routers send and recieve information, which seems to line up with my limited memory of creating different network cables for different situations when we were running a high school network.

America's Army comes to mind. Video games are certainly used for marketing. Which came first the chicken or the egg? Well I suppose the 1911 can certainly claim they were around before video games. It would be really interesting if US Vets started saying they were recruited by a video game and their PTSD is related to what they weren't through after. I suspect that story would never see the light of day.

They might as well blame all society problems on Hollywood. The amount of people shot in a movie is beyond counting. Almost any 'good guy' cop show, shows the same thing. I never thought the Crumbly parents would be convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Throw the book at them as bad parents, sure, but the cause/correlation seemed a bit weak for manslaughter to me. I suspect emotions played a heavy role, and Uvalde is another emotionally charged situation. What one person reasonably deduce could be entirely different than 12 emotional jurors. This case is essentially saying that tech companies shouldn't have publisher protection. Something they have continued to get away with while deciding what they would publish under their own agendas. Publisher protection / moderation / agenda laws need to be redone. They simply don't hold up to the fact that moderation is needed and AI black box controls far too much for anyone to understand. The situation calls for more transparency, but we've already seen Zuckerburg run circles around Congress. We also know that 'I do not recall' is the go to answer for any legal question that might cause problems. I don't see things changing anytime soon. If anything, I'd expect them to push for a settlement. The amount of money lawyers charge means there's a lot of middle ground where it's cheaper for the company to settle than fight it. This kind of publicity plays a role in E-sport development.

Encrypted how? Who decides what the key/passphrase is or where it's stored and when it's unlocked? Bitlocker/TPM can be bypassed because the communication between processor and TPM module is sent in plain text... This can be corrected by requiring a pin to unlock TPM, but that setting needs to be changed in the group policies. AKA it's ignored by almost everyone.

O&Oshutup10++ makes it really easy to disable stuff like copilot. When I first read about it I went looking for settings to disable it, except I couldn't find any because it was already neutered. Recall is a HUGE attack vector and it's amazing that the ever growing drive for data continues to ignore security. I can't help but remember how during the Windows XP days, system restore was used by viruses to restore themselves on unsuspecting victims. Recall is going to do so much more than system restore every could. I guarantee the average user won't realize they need to tell Recall not to record banking information or e-mail accounts. Nothing every goes wrong with Microsoft 'features' right? Kaspersky uncovers new BitLocker-abusing ransomware USA.KASPERSKY.COM I need to give up on Windows and just accept that I can't play certain games.

I've been waiting for a Valve Index refresh, but it doesn't seem to be a priority.

Thermal Grizzly's new heatspreader claimed to lower CPU temperatures by nearly 15 degrees Celsius | Tom's Hardware WWW.TOMSHARDWARE.COM Another option for enthusiasts who dare to delid. Delidding and water cooling are a bit above my enthusiasm level, (I still like the build and forget reliability of air cooling), but this sure seems like it belongs on ExtremeHW.

I dislike these clickbait headlines. AMD has chosen to focus on the most lucrative segment of the market, which has traditionally been more of the entry level to mid range GPUs. There's a real demand for graphics cards that preform well in the $500 range. Let's not forget, 2023 was still riding the coat tails of the crypto mining boom. 2024 we are well into a recession, with everyone having raised prices and people are feeling it. Nvidia is dominating due to AI and AMD would be wise to spend their R&D budget in developing the next revolutionary tech. Power grids are the real AI limiting factor and they take far longer to build out and expand than anything else. Designing more power efficient AI chips could easily challenge Nvidia's 2.25 Trillion dollar valuation.

League of Legends adds unpopular TPM 2.0 requirement — Vanguard anti-cheat update irks fanbase after Windows 11 debacle | Tom's Hardware WWW.TOMSHARDWARE.COM LoL players with older Windows 11 systems may face difficult choices. I haven't seen this discussed here, but I thought maybe we should talk about always on kernal level anti-cheat software. As someone with an interest in information security, this is something I will never allow on my system. My league account has had over $350 spent on it, if I'd known this would happen I would never have spent a dime. I have never touched Valorant for similar reasons.

I once used a keyboard with a small backspace. Never again.... I can compromise on the size of the shift, but that backspace is invaluable.

TCL and Roku are the same company in all but brand name. They partnered so Roku does the software platform. TCL's TV's are less expensive because their data policy is basically: We collect all data. We will sell your data, we will buy your data for a more complete profile.

Discord has always been a spy program. From the beginning they emphasized how secure their end to end encryption is. Yet at the same time they tell everyone what you are doing and track your program use. You can tell them not to tell everyone, but they never stop tracking your program use. Blame Warthunder, it's been responsible for 9 leaked documents in 2023 alone. Officials have talked about how discord has flown under the radar. So there's a demand for access to messages. It's a national security demand. Suddenly we have this.
