So we've got different behavior for drivers (or otherwise different handling of hardware) for Windows Update to routinely fuck up, a new, untested file system that was delayed so much because it was unreliable, and a new SMB thing to get hacked.
And all you're promising me is somewhat better resource/process management, slightly faster access to network files, an allegedly more robust file system, and the ability to use more CPUs and RAM?
No thanks.
Until you provide numbers, I won't care about your alleged improvements. In the old days, the extent of their tuning for the server OS vs the desktop OS was changing the "Processor scheduling" option from "Programs" to "Background Services" and presumable adjusting the scheduling algorithm to stop putting services on the short bus.
Network file access is fast enough on a wired link. Sure, I'd like for it to be faster, but where are the numbers? Do I need a new share that supports the new shit as well? Or are the improvements only on the client side? If they're client side, then why not just improve regular SMB handling for everyone?
I haven't had an issue with NTFS that wasn't related to hardware issues. NTFS isn't the greatest, but I have no issues with out. I've encountered the ol' scandisk errors on it when shit is shutdown forcefully due to power loss or thermal protection, but those were always recoverable events. I've only had unrecoverable events on failing hardware.
With AMD's Threadripper you can get 16 cores and 32 threads in a single socket. With Epyc, you can get 32/64. And Epyc supports multiple sockets. If you need more than that you wait for Intel's upcoming 18/36 CPU for $2000, or get a big, slow Xeon (or two). I wouldn't consider such beasts "workstations". They'd be servers, in a rack with proper cooling, power filtering/redundancy/backup, ECC memory, physical security, etc., and the workstation would be someone remoting in to it. I don't know what the limit on RAM is for existing Windows 10 SKUs, but I doubt it's a practical limit for anyone who shouldn't be running shit on an actual server.
Now, if they had removed the telemetry entirely and let me truly turn off shit like Cortana, the Windows Store, the forced updates, etc., AND respect that decision and (and not default it back to on after each update I do choose to install), then I'd care.
Given their "$18.31" stock price. Call when they drop below $0.02 per share. They are a for-profit business no chance in heck of going to any kind of co-op, sorry. Investors won't be on-board for that.
Investors on board? They've got divestors about to walk the plank! They're tossing this out there in the hope that a more few suckers will come along and bring them lifeboats.
Could someone watch these and summarize for me? Otherwise I'll have to wait until the end of the day to view them myself (and I'll likely forget).
I'm always open to listening to the "nutjobs" and giving them fair consideration. After all, just a few years ago you'd be branded as a "nutjob" for saying our government was reading on our emails, listening to our calls, tracking our location, hacking our PCs, etc.
That's what we do. We track in problems in email and sometimes also on a separate website for bug fixes / enhancements we want to expose to customers. We get to fixing as soon as a bug / inconsistency is discovered (usually by us and not the customer). It's chaotic when big changes are needed, but because we only have 2 or 3 people working on it at any given time it mostly works and allows us to respond within minutes or hours, not in 2 week "sprints".
WTF? I knew of one case of this personally, and I always thought it was just some isolated, crazed nutjob.
He was homosexual, but at the time I didn't think that was part of it for him. I just thought he was fucking insane. But there are more of them out there? Licking public toilet seats?
Who cares? If it runs, it's ultimately native. However virtual/interpreted/non-native it claims to be, you have to trust the vm / interpreter / native code it ultimately runs as to enforce the rules of the language and keep you safe. And we all know that's not gonna happen.
YouTube uses the word "partner" a lot when referring to the media corps that pay to have access to the real tools. The public gets a half-working form that generates a report that is never acted upon.
There are some WalMarts in larger cities where the majority of employees go to work by mass transit. Do they really expect to get them to carry customers' packages home on the bus or train? And when you're commuting by mass transit, another additional mile or so in each direction can quickly make your commute a lot longer in time.
"To take part, the employees will have to pass a background and vehicle check."
Derp. The program will not be offered at stores that can't properly staff it.
Fuck you, that's not legitimate. If you have the ability to harass me from a number then I should have the ability to see that number, report it, find the account holder, and fucking sue them.
Yup. I only know of a couple of payphone locations within a reasonable distance from me. I've passed on reporting several serious crimes over the last few years because I know there are cameras at or near those locations.
Fuck you. The "passive voice" is the best "voice". It is perfect for writing which needs to be neutral, factual, and unencumbered by shitty spin or hyperbole. The fucking Word grammar check always harasses me about using a "passive voice" whenever I have to fire it up to write an evaluation or a technical document. If I knew how the fuck to disable that rule I would, but I'm not about to dig through the ever-changing options menus to find it for how infrequently I use Word.
Yeah, Trump says a.2 degree reduction in temperature isn't enough. TFS says a slow down (of the rate of increase) of.6 - 1.1 degrees is the anticipated effect, not a reduction in temperature.
So maybe Trump got it wrong, but he got it wrong on the other side. He said something far better than the Paris agreement is not enough to justify handing over billions yearly (and increasing yearly) to third world nations. And he's right.
I doubt he cares, and I don't believe he's being honest/genuine about any of his motivations for pretty much anything (see just about every President ever), but he's correct in this instance. The Paris agreement is a joke. If it was worth half a shit Obama would've tried to get it ratified as a treaty.
Why are you using per-capita output? The atmosphere doesn't care about per-capita output.
And China and India are INCREASING their emissions and will continue to do so as they develop and each capita demands a higher standard of living. Their options are to increase pollution or kill a bunch of people. (Or, considering their governments and social structures, why not both?)
Everything that accepts a mag swipe accepts Samsung Pay. I've never used it, so I don't know how well it works (such as for recessed readers like at a gas pump), but that's the claim.
This is SOP. Put features into specs late in the day to make it impossible for other vendors, who may have been working in a standards body for an industry wide solution, to have compatible silicon available in a timely fashion.
Well, the competition is going for USB-PD (Power Delivery), which IS an industry standard of supplying up to 100W. It's used by laptops so far, and a few phones support it as well. So you could plug your laptop charger into your phone and have it charge at max rate.
Even worse for Qualcomm, Google has announced that all devices must support USB-PD for fast charging - proprietary solutions would not be acceptable.
Google can announce anything they want. They only control their own devices. The USB-C and USB-PD situation is still a fucking mess of incompatible chargers, cables, and devices. Qualcomm's proprietary solution works well and is more commonplace than the proprietary solution from the USB forum. (Yes, USB is proprietary.)

Such people like numbers, not baseless claims. They also like proven file systems and stable drivers.
Yes. The i9s Intel announced are just cut down Xeons. They're the same fucking thing.

Does anyone on either side really want Trump on Twitter.
Perhaps everyone should leave Twitter until Trump is Banned!
Well, #covfefe was free and enjoyed it more than most movies, games, TV shows, meals, etc.

That's your own damn fault.
