I've had no issues with win10 on my ssd. I have, however, had the issue with it rebooting, or thinking it rebooted, when coming out of sleep. Anniversary update flipped that back on.
mind you, I'm not doing RAID so I suspect that's the issue, you'd think MS would have tested this a little
they listed my account as pwned in the myspace hack. I've never been to myspace let alone registered an account. In fact I'd go so far as to say the hack predates the email they say was compromised.
Just for giggles I went there and put in my throw away email that I use to register to crap. apparently I was "pwned" in the myspace hack.
Funny thing is I've never had a myspace account. Ever.
i'm not calling bullshit, but when the site tells me I'm owned and asks for a donation, I'm going to question it. But I know 100% I have never registered a myspace account.
wow that comes off as if I'm supporting the decision, I'm not, I'm so butthurt over buying a ps4 and instantly finding out they are putting out a better one probably next year, with game devs already saying how the new ps4 will change their games (meaning I get fucked TWICE, first by paying 70$ for a digital game without a physical copy, then again for round two as I watch the game I bought become better on the neo while I get to play fucking shitty half assed ports.)
I do not support this decision. I do support the hardware as a service model that is slowly becoming a reality. not even PC manufacturers are offering a service like this to the masses, this is a game changer and I'd be willing to drop the same amount on that console as my pc, knowing I'm locked into a upgrade cycle for so many years that I'm not going to be obsolete by next x-mas.
Well there's two things to say about that. Firstly, the 7 year console cycle sony was locked into was losing them money, they can now make tons more.
The other side is, eventually consoles become a service, you no longer by play station 4, you buy "playstation" and pay a monthly fee, when the hardware gets updated, you get a new console in the mail, send back the old gen (or the parts replaced) and enjoy the new hardware.
This is where it's going, this is a slow first step towards it
Well considering Avaya developed a bunch of their technology in house, owning the patents, and then bought up a huge share of Nortels IP, I'm not sure blackberry has a leg to stand on here, considering they at no point entered the same market that Avaya and Cisco currently operate in.
This is 100% related to BBs relationship with Cisco, who loves to live on the edge of patent infringement, going so far as to name their Voip system indentically to Avaya's
This is why patents are mostly bullshit and used to stifle innovation and competition.
IMO if you aren't actively exploiting the patents you have, you have no right to sue someone who is.
Isn't this the same as google offering to show you a previously cached page, but using the way back archive and offloading the storage and traffic costs on them while providing no revenue or benefit?
Yes, that's exactly what this is. Lets let the wayback machine pony up the storage and traffic costs, as well as IO and Compute. That is what some people would call, a dick move. No different than linking images from article A into your article so site A has to pay the hosting and traffic costs, cracked did a funny article on this very subject.
let me be the first to throw sand in the face of the FF devs who spend their time making fucking crap useless addons instead of fixing their code base, or you know, implementing any for of modern browser security.
And this doesn't even touch on the fact that FF is the slowest browser on the face of the earth. 37 seconds to start streaming netflix? Are you fucking with me? 15 seconds to open, another 5 seconds before it's usable. And no, this isn't on some sinky dink POS.
FF is dead, let it die, it stopped being relevant 5 years ago.
they don't even need your phone, just the number. They check the lists to see who your service provider is, then tell them some BS about having the phone/sim stolen, get the number ported to THEIR phone, and now your two factor is actually on their phone, then they bleed you dry.
Ask the bunch of youtubers and streamers how that worked out for them.
"This summary is incredibly stupid, the 4 year old model referenced is the base model, that indeed does use the same parts,"
the fact that you can't see the irony in your retarded baseless apple apologizing is astounding.
but lets play a fun game! Lets pretend microsoft made hardware and sold laptops, and lets pretend Microsoft was selling 4 year old motherboards and processors, at the same price, as new equipment? What exactly would you, a mac fanboy, have to say about this? We both know the answer, the difference is you are going to straight up lie about it.
So lets dissect this a bit more:
"however there HAVE been plenty of updates to the MacBook Pro line since then, introducing SSDs, Retina displays, slimmer builds, and current generation MBPs have Broadwell CPUs"
Are slimmer builds considered CPUs or GPUs now?
Are SSDs considered CPUs or GPUs now?
Are retina displays considered CPUs or GPUs now?
See each one of those is a cosmetic difference ontop of the base hardware that is 3 to 4 years old.
" and current generation MBPs have Broadwell CPUs"
Ahh, now we are getting somewhere, that's atleast a CPU right? But you still failed because Broadwell is from 2014. It's 2016 and everyone else is shipping skylake.
but lets end with the fact that a Mac fan run buyers guide is the one telling you, mac fans, to avoid these models as they are fucking old and you are getting ripped off. So even when a Mac istitution run by rabid fanboys tells you something negative you just cover it up, ignore it, or make excuses for it.
um no, I'm going to be playing low res ports of PS neo games once the SDK hits the devs desks. I agree, they waited to pull the trigger, but I do not call this a "good thing" they are going to try to support 2 different consoles at once, promising the same games on both (simply not going to happen.)
so either the new console owners will enjoy crippled games so us ghetto console owners don't feel left out, or us ghetto console owners are getting shafted with ports, that's how this plays out.
"IN fact the idea of 'gens' might already be over with."
considering I have to buy an entire new console to get the enhanced memory and gpu, i don't think that statement makes any sense at all. But... I see where you were going and I agree 100% with this being a future state of consoles. Consoles as a service, you "lease" the device and it gets upgraded and replaced as long as you are still paying the subscription. you don't buy an xbox 8, you buy "xbox service" which provides the console on a lease basis.
MS is already allowing this with the MS surface, so it's logically the next step for consoles.
Sadly, this isn't it, this is a kick in the nuts and a demand to spend another 400$. That's exactly what this is.
yes, there was. An even playing field. If you and I both had console A, you and I had the exact same experience playing game B. This also leveled the playing field for devs because they knew EXACTLY what hardware components to build for.
PCs, even with todays trimmed down hardware options, are a different beast, you simply can't assume anything. That's why I'm old enough to remember having to check if the game supported my chipset, videocard and soundcard, before buying it.
The only benefit was the even playing field. A tertiary benefit would be the console life cycle being longer than the pc upgrade cycle, but with asshattery like the neo and scoprio, that no longer applies. And in fact, it also destroys the even playing field aspect as they are saying devs need to support all console versions, but they are vastly different in performance.
This is a kick in the nutz to anyone who bought one of these consoles
the scoprio and neo are new consoles with better specs, all devs will get those for their SDK and build for those consoles, us ps4/xbox 1 owners will be shafted with low res ports of those games.
Once the scoprio/neo hit, no one will be building games for the "last gen" console, which are the ones most of us just fucking bought. So yes, if you want your monies worth, you need to upgrade the console and buy the new games for it, because the ones ported to our "ghetto" console will be the equivilant of ps3 games that launched on ps2 at the same time, xbox 360 games that also were released for xbox. Hopefully you see what I was talking about.
They've lost the market to Sony already, so their answer is to try to support 3 platforms no one wants that are almost identical except you'll need to re-purchase 99% of your stuff...
good luck with that.
i'm just as pissed with Sony before you call me a fanboy, both companies can such a chode for shortening the console life cycle.
beat me to the punch, "Middle out"? But the thing is, the tech isn't complete BS on that show, the terms they use are real and the application is actually possible, likely not to the extent of pied piper in the show though
Maybe it's just me but.... there's nothing on my home machine I'd "lose" and I really don't understand what "files" people are willing to spend actual money to *maybe* recover.
When it comes to industry, sure, that makes sense. But a personal computer? What are you going to lose, some photos that SHOULD have been fired off to googledrive or some other cloud backup? Your music that you can download again? Your software that you can re-install?
No, the ransomware isn't really the problem, idiot computer users are the problem. But I agree, this is good as it should make people question paying out, which to me they should already be questioning and have already decided to not do it.
"We don't negotiate with terrorists" because once you do, you will have to every single time and it will get worse and worse. Not a single thing on my pc to lose that can't be replaced WITHOUT a backup, because I don't use my pc as a personal information storage system because it connects to the internet and my ISP router that has wifi and has very limited control on my end.
The show will be pretty boring considering there's about 15 actual apps, then millions of shitty clones of those apps. I don't see how this could interest ANYONE other than app developers. And let me tell you right now, if you are spending your time watching TV instead of coding, you are developing wrong.
ACtually, no, that's not how copyright works at all. The copyright OWNER is responsible for finding and reporting infringement, the service provider needs to provide some means for the content owner to report and request a take down.
Youtube automatically scans content, flags are copyrighted, then layers ads on it sending the revenue to the content owner, or outright removes the video
Every single asshat "musician" complaining about youtube is doing so because they are attempting to launch their own service and it sucks.
"decrypting encrypted data fundamentally alters it" What? If the decrypted data doesn't match the data that was encrypted, you failed to decrypt it properly.
On a purely technical level I guess he's correct. Encrypted, the data is just a bunch of jazz and whirly bangs. Once decrypted it's actual data, so on a purely superficial level, with no understanding of encryption, I guess he's right.
Damnit
Chuck Yeagers air combat. First game I remember having "copy protection" that was literally a quiz before you could play, asking you a fact or detail that you'd have to open the game manual to the correct page to find.
OR..... You simply keep resetting until you get a question you can answer from one of the many many military war planes trading card sets your wonderful grandfather gave you.
Yup, I "cracked" chuck yeagers air combat by learning facts about the planes in the game.
except that the speeds over usb, even usb 3, make trying to use external drives for that type of purpose a complete and utter waste of your time, it will be horrendously slow.
The thing is, with a pc, you can do this right now, and you'll see how craptacular it really is. What you are really asking for is a return to game cartridges, which honestly, feels right. We're in a digital download frenzy but not all people have the connection to rely 100% on that, let alone the limited drive space on consoles. I certainly don't want to wait to install anything, but even a TB drive isn't enough to hold that many games considering most clock in a 10GB or more now.
the happy medium (ignore the feasibility and price point) would be a solid state mini drive cartridge. Think NES or SEGA genesis, but it's not just a small board and chip, it's actually a tiny purpose built solid state drive. It would be fast as it could be on sata3 or Esata. The price would make it intangible. The life span of the drive might raise some concerns, hopefully one of the many knowledgeable Anonymous Cowards can answer this question:
The limited lifespan of a NAND chip is related to the amount of writes, not reads correct? So if we manufacture a purpose build SSD that is NOT writable, only readable, shouldn't this extend the life of the memory? The drive wouldn't have any extra space and effectively would act like a factory pressed DVD, you can not use it as storage. The drive would have part numbers and serial numbers, and could even contain a controller and chip for "on the drive" DRM.
I should be trying to patent this.
Wasn't a big deal? This guy potentially hijacked a plane, got 200 grand in cash then got away, 45 years later they have GIVEN UP TRYING TO FIND HIM.
That's a bug deal in my books. A Very big deal.
Anyhoo, it was Jimmy James, case closed
