I just get the error ?A problem has occurred while processing your request. Please try again later.?

Im using a USA Live account and connecting from a USA IP address.

If you can only do it once per account then I don?t really see the point e;)her ;)

is that through the xbox live page or through your actual xbox?

Awesome, free points!

In that case its a waste of time anyway whats 100 points get you?

You must be mad to even want to buy a gamerpic

Maybe someone has just few enough points that they can't buy something without buying 500+ more points?

For example, if I wanted to buy a game or add-on that costs 800 points but I only have 700 in my account.

Or you could just buy gamer pics :p

is that through the xbox live page or through your actual xbox?

That?s on http://points.microsoft.com/

It?s the only place you can register them from what I gather.

Is it actually working for anyone in the USA? Just wondering as I?m in the UK but trying using remote desktop to a server in the USA.

    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
    • Why should simply opening the Action Center ... require any significant amount of CPU cycles? Too many are ignoring the elephant in the room: today's CPUs may have similar clock frequencies to CPUs from a decade ago (~4 to 5 GHz), but they run with far higher performance per clock, even on the smallest E-cores. The Action Center is a static, minor desktop element. It ought to open instantly on any CPU made in the past 2.5 decades at even low clocks. Opening a program? Boost away. Unzipping a file? Boost to your heart's content. Right-clicking the notification area? This should be an ultra-efficient, low-impact event that opens instantly. Compare today's UI elements to Windows 7 UI elements. Today's UI elements hardly do anything more substantial or important or critical, yet now require modern-day processors to jump half a GHz to reduce their latency.
    • This is not an option lmao: it is part of the KB5094126 update, pushed to all users. There is no GUI to configure it. Reading the article should be required for commenting.
