Just an FYI on this, you can get a list of reviews only for the actual product instead of the whole group. If you're viewing all the reviews there will be a drop down that contains only "All types" (default selection) and the type you had selected. You'll often be disappointed to find no reviews at all for that particular product though when you select it, which I believe is the scummy reason they group them in the first place...to get a (in this case fake) base of reviews going for a product.
AFAIK this doesn't work with the questions and answers section though but that is already a less useful than the reviews even when its only one product type.
We have a high level of expectation for our game developers to ensure that all Live experiences remain top notch. Because we can't guarantee this level of quality, or control the player experience on other consoles or gaming networks, we currently do not open our network to games that allow this cross-over capability.
A lot of people deluding themselves here IMO. Literally no ones cares BK slept with his secretary. That stuff just goes away at this level. This is just cover for tossing him after blowing the manufacturing lead and other leadership failures. They don't want to spook the shareholders.
I actually have to echo KozmoStevnNaut. My local news websites replaced their anonymous login system with facebook logins in an effort to reduce trolling and abusive behavior. I never thought the behavior in the first place was beyond any other discussion that was politically charged I'd seen online, in fact since it was local I thought it was pretty mundane with your garden variety peppering of nuts. But the people running the news site felt they could do better.
The immediate result was more measured posters disappeared. The comments section was only populated by lunatics since they were the only people that wanted to have conversations about politics with strangers with their real name, workplace and pictures of their face and families attached to any offhand comment they made for all to see.
A few months of the comment section being populated only by the most racist, loathsome and vicious people and comments were shutdown entirely. Far from making people more civil, it culled all civil and reasonable people from the conversation leaving nothing distilled vitriol.
Its really more accurate to say that when manufacturers (AMD and Intel) released drivers for Windows 7 and 8.1 for their new processors MS (ab)used their update channel to disable parts of Windows 7 in retaliation. This is without precedent in MS last to my recollection. You might not have been able to install Windows on a PC that was to old, but never because it was to new.
I have no idea what back channel threats the manufacturers are also up against.
I thought this myself. Release an open source tool to do the hash calculation that then just uploads the hash. No need for facebook to have access to the raw images.
The counter argument was that this tool would be abused to take down things that are not revenge porn and they need a human to look at them and determine hotdog versus not hotdog. That is probably true, but they don't still don't need you to personally upload all your nudes to do that.
All they have to do is wait until some one tries to upload it and then flag it for inspection. Only then have the human at facebook look at the image that has been flagged, if its bad they mark that image hash as "verified bad" and block without human intervention from then on out. Ideally they would then delete the image but even if they didn't that image was already being uploaded so its probably less damaging than doing nothing even if FB still has its grubby hands on it.
This way if nobody ever uploads your nudes FB never needs to see them at all.
Intel probably just had the same guy that drafted the spectre/meltdown response press release write the document and he was kind of on a roll with the whole misdirection thing.
They'll probably push an update to the Oculus that turns it into one of these things, if I had to guess. A lot of people bought that thing recently because they slashed the price on it so much.
If the FBI cannot access the contents of dead terrorist's phones after they have committed their heinous acts then how can we expect them to properly close barn doors after the horses get out?
Are they ever going to implement this feature? Showing an image of when hovering over a position in the time slider? Its one thing I really miss having when using this otherwise great media player.
Its like how a car with a rusted out brake lines has a higher than expected number air bag deployments. You expected zero but Intel has exceeded all expectations once again.
Notch isn't this Booty guy. Notch mostly tweets and swims through pools full of cash these days. Booty's main claim to fame is being placed in the driver seat of an already running money printing machine and not fucking it up by messing with the levels to much. Which I guess counts as top tier leadership at Microsoft these days based on how many of their other acquisitions have worked out.
Does the issue only apply to CPUs newer than 5 years ago or did Intel just decide if your CPU is older than that they don't actually care? I'd previously heard anything since the original pentium up to the P4 was where it began.
Well, the link to the past seems broken since netmarketshare designed the website since the last time I used. But it looks like IE/Edge combined is now more like 17%.
Chrome isn't quite IE6 at the height of its power, but its close. On the desktop, Microsoft was actually their main competitor. But then Microsoft launched Edge and it was a crushing blow to Microsoft's market share.
Despite being literally shoved into users faces, the introduction of Edge didn't draw users away from Chrome. No, it seemed to send IE users running to it instead.
Chrome now has a commanding presence on desktop and we've already seen Google start to flex their muscle a bit in the same way Microsoft did when they controlled the world with IE. Make no mistake, Google has nowhere near that level of stranglehold but since the vast majority of browsers are Chrome they are the big dog now and they can get away with a lot biting.

No developers with knowledge of history really care about the Windows store. If you develop an application for it you can't even deploy it to most Windows platforms, only Windows 10. Which means you should develop a traditional Windows application to target all popular Windows platforms otherwise you're limiting your market for no reason. You could then maybe do a half ass port to target Windows 10S...but that has no market share and Windows mobile has no market share so even that probably has no business case. You'd be much better off spending that extra effort targeting MacOS, iOS, Android or ChromeOS which are all products with actual market share that you could make a compelling business case for.
Couple this with the fact that Microsoft itself has been very reluctant to eat this dog food they make and it sends a strong signal that UWP will be abandoned, and your development effort/money wasted. So the smart move is to just ignore the store and UWP until either you can't anymore due to increased demand (unlikely to occur) or it goes away.

Another Microsoft branding home run, no doubt.

Or just standard Windows 10 Update behavior.

0%. Intel products all have meltdown, with the possible exception of some old Atom products and stuff from 1995 and earlier.
The most likely explanation is that you already have the patch to mitigate meltdown.
That's the nice Windows 7 you got there. It'd be a real shame if something happened to its performance.
Seems like it ran fine yesterday.
Does the issue only apply to CPUs newer than 5 years ago or did Intel just decide if your CPU is older than that they don't actually care? I'd previously heard anything since the original pentium up to the P4 was where it began.

Chrome isn't quite IE6 at the height of its power, but its close. On the desktop, Microsoft was actually their main competitor. But then Microsoft launched Edge and it was a crushing blow to Microsoft's market share.
2 Years ago, MS still held an incredible 50% of desktop browser share:

Now, they are down to 20%:

Intel use weasel language to heavily imply they were in their press release. And based on comment chains on this story, it seems to have worked.
I was using this pwned thermostat as my VPN endpoint though!
