    Funny modded -1 for disagreeing with AMD hype.

    To prove I am not paid by Intel my facts stand by themselves. Intels are much faster in games as IPC still did not catch up. Blender and cinebench perform better simply because of more cores

    Again rich man problems. Working for free as 100% of your cash is going out before the end of the month and your concerns don't matter. Kids need to fed. Poor people I know use beef same day as bought and never refrigerate for more than 1 day. Their Walmart meat goes bad and they laugh at me when I say real meat can stay good for several days in the fridge.

    To them saving $1.50 is more important. Poor people really do have crappy options and as automation takes their jobs away the need to save money and go to Walmart goes higher and higer

    The reason is the infinity fabric with it's NUMA architecture sucks with Windows 10 and is server oriented.

    What's going on is Windows 10 CPU scheduling and power management LOVES randomly throwing processes and threads around cores during workloads. So imagine your a game busy working on something under Ryzen? You get interrupted and asked to move. Cache is now lost thanks to NUMA and needs to be reloaded from ram and the ram OC is bottlenecked to 2999 MHz. Now you continue. Think that would cause a stutter and fps loss? You bet!

    The Intel shares the same cache and no infinity fabric so no biggie and continues. So a Ryzen is not 8 core. It's really 4 2 cores attached by infinity fabric on a chip.

    MS can fix this with a patch but won't due to the small marketshare

    Sorry still behind Intel ... Even with the patches if you read the article. Ryzen is good for video editing and compiling large amounts of code. However, it needs alot of work for Ryzen 2.0 as the infinity fabric and NUMA architecture slow down Windows 10 scheduling threads which spins them around cores causing latency spikes each time in games

    Let's look at the hype?

    Intel CPUs have significant per core IPC still. Try %30 per game with massive fps differences on stick settings ram while Intel ones are all over locked and can take on faster ram frequencies giving the +25 fps advantage.

    Worse Windows 10 cripples them! Windows 7 benchmarked on YouTube showed massive performance increases on Nvidia optimized games like Tomb Raider as the CPU scheduling bug is real. AMD is now downplaying it as MS won't fix it due to lack of marketshare.

    Neowin.net reported MS to drop AMD from Hyper-V due to lack of marketshare on the creators update of Windows 10 if you do virtualization. Also VMware ESX fails to post. Ram fails to post that is not under locked on some MSI boards with no updates. MSI only is updating the $399 non carbon model.

    Last your scientific apps may have used Intel compilers that are not IEEE compliant and use x87 fpu instructions to make Intel look good benchmarking. Fortran from Intel is popular with scientific apps which is why I brought it up.

    Intel still won sadly in my opinion. I was rooting for AMD while Ryzen is a massive improvement it still cannot beat them as Intel has the R&D. Let's see Ryzen 2.0? I would hold off for a year or get an Intel still as they are very stable and mature and production ready.

    Well 1. Atom is dead 2. Windows mobile lost.

    MS knows it in a funny was as the Atari, Amiga, and commodore fought tooth and nail in the IBM compatible PC Windows onslaught. Once business standardized on Windows no one cared about them anymore.

    Now ironically full circle is Apple and Google beat them. Google is the new MS now

  9. MS owns visual studio complete with Android emulators and tools ... No you did not misread that.

    They lost. MS strengths most of us can agree on is their development tools and business software like Office even if we don't like their operating systems or Internet browsers. MS wants to remain relevant with millennial developers. If you can't beat them then join them.

    I see no problem as I consider them like IBM now. Believe it or not they were the scary monopolist to the old timers.

    Well you are rich if you are the statical IT nerd on /. The average household income is around 55k with 51k being average annual income per person.

    Walmart is a necessity for those in the middle and under. If you can cut your expenses by %20 for groceries and goods saves thousands to tens of thousands a year. When you make 48k a year and have 2 kids in Tennessee with not alot of job opportunities then who cares about Amazon outside of a few speciality Christmas items.

  23. Step one: Any browser that cares about security MUST stop regarding https with CA certificates as any more trustworthy that self-signed certificates or plain http.

    Why? Plain HTTP can be compromised by anyone on a hop between you and your destination. HTTPS with a self-signed certificate can be compromised by anyone on a hop between you and your destination, but can be detected if you do certificate pinning or certificate transparency. HTTPS with a signed cert can only be compromised with cooperation from a CA. The set of people that can compromise signed HTTPS is significantly lower than the set that can compromise self-signed HTTPS.

    I remember in the days of IE 6 and me opening questionable porn in my youth I would get slow or weird responses from HTTP websites. I do an ipconfig of the name of the site. I then disconnect and then reboot and or sometimes do a ipconfig /release and VIOLA now when I do an ipconfig it points to a different IP address.

    MITM was quite on occurrence in the old days. Of course if my DNS is pointing to somewhere else it means my PC was probably compromised but my point is changing something and a ipconfig /release fixes it shows it is easy to spoof before MS took security more seriously as it does today.

    You have a better solution? You want the US government deciding instead like ICAAN in addition to being a central point of exploit?

    If you let others self sign that means you risk having the private keys known and it's game over. Let's encrypt has same problem in which they can screw up and hand out extra certificates. Also if they are hacked and private key is leaked then game over the Internet is done as we know it. This makes me not want lots of players on the CA space

  25. Fine. You have a better solution? Active Directory on corporate networks work the same way with trusts on other domains. DNS root servers too have trusts before they replicate.
