That's why it's called Project Zero: Amazon gives zero fucks about counterfeits.

Except, compiling the DLL with ASLR or DEP would have absolutely no effect in this bug. There is no reason for the researchers to even mention ASLR or DEP, except to play Buzzword Bingo. Fortunately, the .ace archive format was never widely adopted (if it was ever adopted at all). According...

Microsoft doesn't want Linux users to be left out of the fun. Windows 10 corrupted two of my hard drives last week. Only the 5th or 6th time that has happened in the last couple of years (compared to zero times with Windows 7). Fortunately, I'm extremely anal about doing backups, but...

Windows reports your hardware configuration just fine. What you are talking about is something completely different. The amount of RAM you have installed (actual physical RAM) and how much of it is actually usable by you, is not the same. The OS has to use some of it in order to function...

I have used Acronis TrueImage for backup/restore for almost 10 years and what you are describing is . . . . . . . insane. I can boot from a USB thumbdrive with Acronis on it, and do a full system restore, pulling in the backup image from an external hard drive, in less than 20 minutes total...

Years ago, Adam Corolla was asked "What's the secret to a successful podcast?" "Be famous"

Yes. For 4K, anything less than 32" is just too small and cramped. Probably need a minimum of 40" for 8K.

He's right, but, he's also partly to blame for this problem. Mozilla has spent the past few years destroying everything that made Firefox popular in the first place and driving users away.

Wow. That's a lot of porn. Until we get 8K. Then, I'll need two.

Sort of like Ask Jeeves, but worse.

Oh the good old days :) and a Viewsonic monitor, too ;)

Don't see too many guys named Billy Bob in Finland.

Wow. That's a lot of porn.

I do run a semiconductor fab out of my bedroom, you insensitive jerk. :p:cool::)

The data deletion bug was reported by Insider Feedback 3 months ago, and Microsoft ignored it.

No need to use an inferior OS. Just need common sense. Don't put everything on one drive. Separate drives for OS and data. Backups Backups Backups Backups Backups of Backups

Yes, Microsoft screwed up. But, it's not an either-or situation. It's possible for both sides to be wrong. If you don't back up data that you consider "important" then you are also at fault. That's not "victim blaming". You need to take responsiblity for your own life and not just try to...

Even worse, with many of the garbage computers sold today, you can't even add a second drive. I was going to put an SSD in my wife's new Dell and use the 1TB drive for all of her data files. So I open it up and the power supply has only two wires. One going to the motherboard and one that...

I copied the OP and posted it to another forum that I hang out on, as if I just bought this monitor recently. People are losing their minds over it.

Yeah. Just like oil, the price of RAM has nothing to do with the actual cost of production.

Yes. Prices are way too high. Right now, 32GB of DDR3 RAM is double the price I paid 2 years ago. And DDR4 is $50 or $60 more.

This is something I discovered more than 10 years ago. I create internal training courses for a large company, and one of the things I do is create a script that I read when I narrate the training video. I started noticing something strange. When I read the script on my computer screen, it...

This is true, but, there is one thing you have to watch out for with cheap cables. If it's something that you just plug in and never touch it again, then a cheap cable is exactly the same as expensive cable, it's just moving ones and zeros. But, if you have a cable that gets handled a...

SSDs are good for certain situations, but if you need a lot of storage space, we're still a long way away from them being affordable. I just bought two 8TB hard drives for $400 total. I think it will be a very long time before you can get 16TB of SSD for anywhere near that price.

Apple has never had more than 10% market share in computers. Usually less. Although Macs are quite good and widely used in certain niche areas, most people have no interest in Macs because: High price, very poor price vs performance ratio High repair cost, DIY repairs are much more difficult...

So far, in my entire life, I have paid exactly ZERO dollars to Google and Facebook and very little to Amazon.

Then get a mb with 2 sockets. 128 cores FTW!

Dropping? Maybe a little. But not nearly enough. 2 Years ago I paid $110 for 32GB of DDR3. That same RAM is $220 right now. Which is slightly better -- it was $250 a couple of months ago. 32GB of DDR4 is still well over $300 -- which is slightly better -- it was over $400 a few months ago.

Windows Firewall is useless. Not just on Windows 10, but all versions of Windows. It isn't just useless, it's actually dangerous because it allows all outgoing connections by default, and the only way to block an outgoing connection is to go into the configuration settings and specify exactly...

I'm right handed but often use my left hand to control the mouse when my right hand is . . . um . . . . busy.

I'm not heavily into games, so a cheap, low end video card is OK for me. I'm using an AMD RX560 that cost around $129 a few months ago and it's fine for what I do. What I'm looking for is cheaper RAM prices. At the end of 2016 when I built my current computer, DDR3 was $110 for 32GB, now it's...

It's not Facebook, it's actually a browser problem: "The technique relies on luring users to a malicious site where the attacker embeds iframes to other sites. In their example, the two embedded iframes for Facebook's social widgets, but other sites are also susceptible to this issue. The...

None of this sounds bad to me.

Yes, I tried several items and got no discount. Monoprice's definition of "everything" is a lot different from mine.

Wrong. There is absolutely no need for Microsoft to develop this -- at least not as part of Windows. Cortana is just another part of all the unnecessary crap crammed into Windows 10. 99.9% of Microsoft's Windows revenue comes from selling Windows to OEMs who install it on the computers they...

Yes, this illustrates the biggest problem with Windows 10. Cortana should be something that you install if you want it. Or, something that is there by default but can be removed. Not something that is built into the OS.

:lol: "Aw man, but how will I ever know that the GPU I buy is the one I really wanted. I was so badly looking forward to the clarity in the market that division of branding was going to bring"
