I am sure that other manufacturers have tools to slipstream all the necessary drivers into the image for you and make it uefi bootable now a days. But thats why I went with asrock 2 years ago, because they were one of the first to support win7 again fully. No problems so far.
People get brand loyal, but all mobo manufacturers are kinda the same. I usually just use newegg to filter for the features i want (be it usb ports, or sata channels, or dual m.2 x4 slots or whatever) and then buy the cheapest one that meets my requirements. asrock, asus, gigabyte and msi, you really cant go wrong with any of those.
And i wouldn't worry about those vulnerabilities. I am pretty sure there is no like, mass exploit in the wild. Its hardly a reason to upgrade. Maybe intel will release an exploit on the darkweb to spur PC sales soon? It always seemed pretty lame as exploits go, just being able to read some random protected memory. I am sure one day it will end me, but somehow i soldier on.
Never heard of them, and with good reason as they dont have an american or canadian distributor. Or really any distribution in north america or south america at all by the looks of it...
I'm not sure i want auto updating routers that everyone owns though. Seems ripe for mass outages. I know that the wireless frequencies will be different in different areas of the world, maybe they dont have any licensing here?
Here i think 60% of people use the wifi router provided by the ISP and about 38% of people blindly purchase another AP when the first one has a channel conflict or something that simple configuration or placement would solve.
When you buy a domain name these days for a small business, do you want to log into a separate site to manage 1) the website 2) the dns 3) the whois 4) cloudflare.
No of course not. You buy all the services from one place, and then you go on to buy the next website from them, and the next.
They can be the first to race to the bottom with domain name registration fees. Used to be you had to pay to get whois protection, now everyone has it for free. This is the good part of capitalism, the costs to "provide" this "service" are extremely low. It was never worth $10 as a service charge. Whats that for? so they can send 20% of the money to icann for me? And the rest goes to a few database edits by an automated program?
Spoken as someone who has never had kids... Young kids are up at 6am no problem. If i wasnt up at 5 every day, life would grind to a halt.
Working 2 hours before everyone else gets to the office is sheer bliss. Shopping 2 hours before everyone else gets to the store is how it should be. Driving around 2 hours before everyone else, and the roads are made for you.
You might try not drinking coffee, as i find your attitude common with people who 1) drink coffee and dont realize that it only gets you back up to your normal baseline after you are addicted 2) go to bed too late, after 10pm is too late and 3) try to do too much in a single day.
Sleep is important. Get enough and you can work at literally any hour, productively.
"Killer robots are that big stick. We need them, to prevent war."
You know thats one of the justifications for atomic weapons right.
"war happens when people have something worth fighting for, and think they stand a chance."
a corollary is that these "people" are inspired and usually led by megalomaniac leaders who are backed by industrialists. So maybe we could work against putting those people in power, instead of assuming a bigger or more novel weapon is going to somehow fix things.
I just looked and the "currency" bitcoin is still worth $6355 per coin.
I mean i threw them in the garbage back in the day when they were worth only a few cents per coin, so i would think that its still MASSIVELY over valued and can fall much, much further.
Look i hate microsoft, i hate windows 10, but I do have to support it. Out of control onedrive files, especially on a multi user computer, is a constant plague. People just dont set their files online only. They just dont. Having the OS manage that for them should have been a feature YEARS ago.
40gb in a teams filestore is like no problem for anyone but me. Now thats replicated to 20 people in a department, wasting all that local storage space and BANDWIDTH. So yes, microsoft finally got around to FIXING an obvious undersight and all you people see is "microsoft" and "cloud" and "delete" and are all like nooope! without actually thinking or knowing what you guys are talking about.
This is a windows admin's dream if you use teams or onedrive, which face it, many companies are moving to for various reasons i wont get into. Most features they put out are ass and break things, and this may be as well, but on paper it would be a HUGE help. Look at the list of what its deleting. All temp files. We have fileshares, cloud and on premises, so people dont have anything local on their machines. They can be reimaged or stolen or surged. And they need to be cleaned, manually, when their disks fill up with cache files that the OS should be dealing with!
Speak for yourself. When my feature phone died, i got a smart phone. Its easy to make secure. Turn off bluetooth, wifi and gps. dont download applications and soley use it as a phone.
no one tracks anything of mine! And as an added benefit I dont have to work from home, on holidays, while i am with my son at the park, etc. because i simply don't carry my phone around to those places and everyone just thinks im a luddite! win win win!
This isn't freedom of speech, its freedom of guns.
My CAD files don't talk back.
Wait till people CRISPR up the flu virus to exterminate a race they don't fancy. I'm sure that will be freedom of biological engineering or some other american horseshit.
"Just as there are losers there are also winners and the longer summers are very beneficial in the northern areas. We're getting longer growing seasons. Our winters are more temperate although still deep snows. The news is good."
And here i was, with all the doors and windows sealed, trying to not to be asphyxiated by half the continent being on fire, when I should have been thinking, "Hey, my strawberries did do better than ever this year!"
at the rate we are going, that may be an optimistic climate model.
The truly justifying part in attacking this sort of argument to me is that shits hitting the fan right now, in 5 years exponentially worse, and so on. You will live to see it because you are living now. So that becomes less and less of an excuse as time goes by.
Using dropbox doesnt mean you have to put your banking details and passwords on it. I personally use dropbox to transfer files to relatives and business contacts with self destructing links. Incredibly useful!
If its a similar story to a recent one i heard about, they cant get product anymore. I am not sure why they couldnt get dvds, as i assume that they dont rent VHS anymore ( you can still buy dvds right?). Buy anyways sounds like the parent distributor is closing up shop.
"I just wonder what it is like to go through life getting offended by every little thing. It must be exhausting."
Are you kidding? you are the one who is offended by the offence of offended people!
The correct course of action for this stupid debate is to shake your head sigh, and close the web browser. Literally both sides are wrong and i really don't care. But the comments here acting like its a free speech issue are clearly the most entitled of all.
"Contributors to open source projects (ESPECIALY the seminal projects and the pioneers like Stallman) are giving us their work. But it's not for free. They still expect to be paid - but in things far more valuable than money.
Removing this joke is stealing part of Stallman's pay for his work. And it's a piece of his pay that he values enough to raise a stink about it."
Whatever. If the artist who makes a song can't dictate how i enjoy it, then the coder who codes something can't dicatate modifications made to their code by people down the line.
This whole cult of the founder/artist in programming, and their dictatorial whims over an OPEN SOURCE project is sickening. He was free to keep his code all to himself, but he can't control what people do with it after he decides to share it with the world.
I'm not a programmer, so i dont know how commonplace it is to put jokes in professional code. To the layman, jokes appear unprofessional. Like mechanics who draw cocks on your oil filter.
America sure is different than the rest of the world. In most developed places, if you even had 90,000 dollars cash on your person or in your house, it would be assumed to come from illegal means.
Hell i can't even take more than $2000 dollars out of the ATM per day.
rich people problems... Austrailia has a big problem with housing speculators, hot asian money, etc. So thats more likely the reason for this decision. Who the hell walks around with 90,000 dollars... where would you even get that much cash? If you are super rich can you just walk into the bank and say "give me a $100k in 20s, here's a suitcase" ??? man i simply cannot picture this world you live in... not sure if its because i'm super poor or not american or what this time.
I agree with you, 100%. However teslas are for the rich, we can't afford them, so i can see why they get picked on. Kind of like people who total their lambos. Usually makes the regional news at least.
A more important factor is probably that It is new tech. Do you remember how many creepy, misinformed FUD articles about the internet we had to endure all throughout the 90s? The internet was abducting your children, making their minds goo with extreme violent video games, seeing pornography, and hacking the planet. Now those same things are just a regular day at the office for most folks.
The exceptional becomes the norm in about 20 years always. hell, 20 years ago people who were always on their cellphones were neurotic workaholics or drug dealers. now its like easily 85% of the populace.
20 years from now there simply won't be cars without giant banks of energy in them. You can get your equality of coverage when i can buy a beater electric car basically. Until then, sexy cars get covered in the news. case closed.

Any weed smoker knows that that toke was pathetic. A non stoner would cough, had they actually inhaled.

Comox Valley's last video store to close, but not due to lack of demand
They need to change something to make their own salaries worthwhile. No one gets bonuses for doing the exact same thing their predecessor has done.

it was obviously not an altruistic or strategic move by NK. His hand was forced, clearly. Happened all too fast.
