Can't recall where, but supposedly the 'game mode' reallocates running non-gaming processes (Windows services, AV, etc) to a single thread/core via processor affinity. Essentially, the same thing both the XBox and PS does. The remaining free cores are available to low latency execution of the game to push a few more FPS out of the game. Now in reality, exactly how much performance?? Probably hair splitting from 1% to 2% at best would be my guess.
Product rev 2.0 (or something might be due out in time for Christmas. Who knows, but I'm with you. The screen needs to be sourced for another vendor using current fab; near-guaranteed dead pixels for each unit on a 720p screen is not acceptable. In addition, the design flaws need to be addressed. There's so much rookie fail here at so many levels. Where was the QC and testing? How many product designs changes have they made? The product launch feels rushed and half-baked. Yeah, kinda pissed about it actually.
I cracks me up EVERY FUCKING TIME, that those that advocate for more government are CLUELESS that government is responsible for the very problems they create in the first place!
"Today I got raped by my master. I need to suck his cock so that he will rape me less"
Ever think that enabling and empowering the very people you entrust that fucked you over the first time somehow will yield a different result?? Naawwww, couldn't be that.
I've been saying this all along; Nintendo should just drop making consoles, and ONLY focus on games and peripherals for the Apple TV! Oh hell, they could re-package the Apple TV as the same unit, but in a Nintendo retail box with credit for games. It's perfect. Same product, sold to two different markets, that can cross over at any time in a heartbeat via the Apple remote.
Bonus:
-Games get backed up to the Apple Cloud. -Hardware is cheaper in volume. -tvOS (iOS) is constantly maintained. -Ability to use the AppleTV as...well...and AppleTV when not gaming. -Can Play OTHER iOS games as was before. Again, Nintendo now an Apple developer that also doubles as making hardware peripherals too. -Nintendo doesn't catch hell for hardware failures. -Games can be cross playable under the same Apple ID with iPhone and iPad too. -Nintendo can re-release the same game with graphic enhancements throughout the Apple hardware refresh cycle (Yeah, dickish move, but would make Nintendo a ton of money).
I could go on and on. There is ZERO negatives with this Nintendo/Apple arrangement; at least as I can see it.
No, nor do they allow for a user to override the 1GB read cache limit. In the link provided, they stated scope of change features may change based on user feedback. But for not, it's geared to the consumer "set it and forget it" mentality. For what it does, it works well, but it does have limitations.
Also worth noting, RAPID only works for SATA drives. NVMe don't allow for the feature to be enabled. I'm not sure if this a limitation in how the storage is addressed differently, or the Samsung Magician app hasn't been updated to target non-SATA enumerated devices.
If you need something with faster write-backs, it looks as though soon there with be a new RocketRAID 3800 series from HighPoint. Essentially, a PCIe RAID card that hold NVMe drives with over 15GB per sec (you read that correctly, Bytes, NOT bits per second!!!) of bandwidth.
I prefer Samsung's RAPID mode myself. Up to 1GB of RAM used as read-cache, though no write-back caching to ensure protection of data (not everyone has a UPS on their desktop, and most RAID cards have a lithium battery onboard to assist against write-back caching data loss). It's fast, and will scale back if more system resources are needed by the OS and apps; though that's only an issue for systems with 4GB of ram, and 8GB in rare cases. Did I mention it's FAST!?. Can't execute anything faster than DDR4 at the moment on a desktop:)
They can't complete in the SSD market, so instead they're reselling these chips for what Intel calls "Smart Response Technology"; AKA Fusion if using a Mac. This is really no different in functionality to that of an SSHD drive, except the SATA interface is a lot slower.
The US is bankrupt; just cutting to the chase of it all. In essence, oversupply of labor (in any field) puts deflationary pressure on value. Here in the US, the government is printing money to support an employed workforce. Meanwhile, the Indian and Hispanic birthrate is outstripping demand, so expect the wages to drop further in the global IT market.
Deflation, marked with inflation = FUCKED!
What's the answer? There is none. But what can not going on forever, wont; and you can take that to the bank.
I recon WW3 to be honest. It's not want I want, but historically strife leads to war; so there you have it.
How many times did the XBOX get recalled and redesigned to address the RROD? How many times did Sony address the CD lens issue in the PS1 and PS3? I'll grant you that the NES was long overdue for a product revision due to a design flaw in the cartridge slot, but I still stand behind my original statement of this predominantly being a Gen5 to Gen6 issue.
Body bombs. Yes, there was news of a plot to have a Muslim women board a plane with explosives stored in her breast implants. Aside from the jokes of explosive tits, yeah, you can't stop someone from doing that. Once it DOES occur, you can kiss aviation goodbye!
Back in the day, we rarely had these problems with first day console released hardware. And when we had them, it was using bleeding edge technology (original Gameboy LCD screen recall). Where the hard break from this trend ended and began was after the 5th generation and beginning of the 6th generation consoles. It continues to this day. Software follows a similar pattern, but more egregious with the advent of the Internet; with the idea it can be patched later with quick delivery. In fact, auto-update is now expected in apps. But there's no excuse for sloppy electronic engineering and manufacturing; not in the year 2017 FFS!!!
All that "Junk DNA", yeah, an ancient alien secret decoded message.....cracked 1,000 years later using advanced quantum computing technology.... "Drink your Ovaltine"
US companies have lobbied the Indian Government would be my guess. Can't have interruptions in outsourced services; the three months is to enforce transition of knowledge from one Indian IT worker to another.
Just pack enough battery and flash memory to record non-stop. Only special events of importance get's indexed so dumping the relevant feed back at the office becomes easier.
This is a solved solution. You just need to change the paradigm of how you want to go about this.
Maybe, depends on amplitude of the blowtorching towers; keeping in mind inverse square law. In addition, 5Ghz (and higher frequencies) don't penetrate solid objects nearly as well as 2.4Ghz and below. Yet paradoxically 5Ghz is better in a home/office environment over 2.4Ghz because the SNR is much better from lack surrounding interference.

The files show modified on March 18, 2017 with version numbers 10.0.15063.0. So yeah, looks to be the real deal.
Oh, I could see that being used as another subscription for Office 365 Enterprise users.
It's called Linux, and mentioning that "update" to Microsoft will make them a sad panda.
They do, and it's "free" when you purchase a computer from an OEM.

Whatever the battery is, I'm sure will be good enough. Or would that be Goodenough?! =)
I'm guessing the industry is in a transitional phase from the old to new fabrication (lithography) with no overlap in production.
Don't laugh. Soon there will be the equivalent of an MS "Facebook" baked into Windows 10 too.
Socialism and multiculturalism = death of a nation. You can NOT have both; you can only pick one.

They got rid of the jack to enforce end-to-end DRM and capitalize on the profit margin w/ wireless headphone technology.
