Seems to me historically Amd and Nvidea drivers have been "across the board" updates and improvements, where Intel has been focusing on individual game improvements.
Is this due to the architecture differences or just because they are new to the scene?
As if the paywall itself wasn't bad enough for the consumer...
'Totaltech did more to help than anything else,' wrote one scalper, who bought the GPUs after Best Buy decided to place the products behind an expensive membership paywall.

This Windows 10 update fail is the most serious yet – here’s what you need to do
Windows 10 is suffering yet more problems thanks to a faulty update – and this one could be its most serious one yet, with users reporting Blue Screen of Death errors and deleted files after installing Windows 10...
Can we finally kill the urban legend that Macs are safer than Windows PC's? I wish I had a dollar for how many times I've heard "Apple doesn't get virus' and stuff".
"Mac threats increased exponentially against Windows PCs. The volume of Mac threats increased year-over-year by more than 400...
Whelp.....another item broke (no big surprise), but here's the interesting tidbit: Windows 10 search for local files wasn't working when they suffered a server-side problem.

Sudo, a utility found in dozens of Unix-like operating systems, has received a patch for a potentially serious bug that allows unprivileged users to easily obtain unfettered root privileges on vulnerable systems.

This might be a dumb question (seeing how long I've been around), but motherboards with 4 slots don't care weather you max the memory in two or four sticks do they? This is assuming they aren't as finicky as some boards were years ago....but is there even any advantage in running 2x16's vs 4x8...
Got this offer today:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but looks like all this does is use MY electricity to enable some other Jamoke to get better data speeds. AFAIK, this does nothing for text or cell calls....just data. Well, I've got WIFI (like 95% of people) so I can't see why I might need this...

My main issue is I'd love for the case fans to power down when the rig goes to sleep. I'm not really interested in controlling the speeds or anything....just sick of hearing them spin when they don't need to. Right now the only way would be to shut down or hibernate.

Don't work the same? Clicking link gives a box...I can add the url, but I can't seem to change the way it displays. Should be able to put (ie) www.google.com, and make it display as something else like "search is your friend".

Anyone playing?
I'm having fun with it....it doesn't nag you constantly to buy stuff, and there's a good amount of loot to keep you going without paying.
I'm wondering about the players though....if I should bother maxing their levels, or replace them before they top out.
I bought and paid for some items here....no problem. Now the seller wants to refund my money so I can send it to a different paypal email address.
Sounds shady to me, but I don't know. Opinions? I just don't want to get caught sending twice, but somehow not getting the refund.
Anyone seen how many flavors they will do (IE: Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise, etc)? I know they will give 7 and 8 users a free up to 10, but I'm wondering about differences in say... Windows 7 starter and 7 Home premium going to 10.
I'm GUESSING it will be apples to apples (7 pro will go...

Yesterday I plugged it in and transferred about 2gigs of files to the external (it has always worked fine) from this Xp pro rig.After it was done, I tried to "safely remove" and it said it was busy to try later, so I gave it a min and tried again. Still busy. I gave it another couple of mins...

Are Subs still locked - only available through folding......and why? Wouldn't you want to sell as many as you could?
It's literally going to take me like 4 years to fold my way there.
I'm sick of cheap flashdrive cases breaking, or the plug coming loose from plugging it in and out so many times.
I'm looking for a sturdy replacement. Throw me some ideas.
