    Latest ExplorerPatcher update removes old Windows 10 taskbar in Windows 11 24H2 by Taras Buria Valinet, the maker of ExplorerPatcher, a popular app for tweaking the UI in Windows, has released an update under version 22621.3527.65.1. This version brings one important change: it no longer allows reverting to the old Windows 10 taskbar on systems with Windows 11 version 24H2 and its early builds (build 26002 and hither). Here is the changelog for the latest version: Taskbar10: The Windows 10 taskbar option is now no longer available on 26002+. This is to comply with Microsoft's removal of the stock Windows 10 taskbar in explorer.exe of said builds. Start10: Fixed Pin to Start with a 50/50 chance of success on 226xx.3420+ (22H2, 23H2) and 25169+ (24H2). Start10: Reverted the menu closing delay fix when EP is injected only into StartMenuExperienceHost.exe for now. ExplorerPatcher 22621.3527.65.1 was tested on the following Windows builds: 22621.3296, 22621.3447, and 22621.3527 (the latest non-security update). You can download ExplorerPatcher from its official GitHub repository. ExplorerPatcher release notes are available via this link. In case you missed it, Microsoft recently started blocking systems from upgrading to preview Windows 11 version 24H2 builds if they have StartAllBack or ExplorerPatcher installed. Microsoft would flag those apps as potentially insecure or ones causing performance issues. Although you can bypass the block by simply renaming executables, getting the desired result on version 24H2 is now much harder since the latter no longer allows restoring the old Windows 10 taskbar, thus breaking patchers and other apps relying on legacy code. With that in mind, those unhappy with the Start menu situation in Windows 11 (especially in light of Microsoft adding blatant ads) have several options: just deal with it, go back to Windows 10, or use apps that do not rely on patches and legacy code, such as the recently updated Start11 v2 or any other similar app.

    PC players get everything the consoles have, this is a patch with fixes, not a remake. The consoles get a native version for the new hardware but this is something PC always had and could not newly gain. For actual improvements they would try to sell that to you, for example the Anniversary version of TESV.

    Yeah, as I pointed out I misunderstood.

    Oh. Now you mention it that DLC does say that it was released in 2017. But 15GB seems awfully small for something that is supposed to provide high definition graphics... There's zero mention about "high definition graphics" in the patch notes so I don't know where you're getting that from. This patch has always been advertised as a bug fix and widescreen and ultra-widescreen support patch for PC and a native application on consoles so people can chose between performance and quality mode.

    I agree that the fight remains at the low to mid end. Nvidia owns the high end and there is no legitimate comparison to be made between the low-end scalar solutions and what DLSS can do with AI tensor cores, etc. Nvidia is literally next gen in this regard. On that note, the really interesting thing will be the inclusion of NPUs (neural processing units) in all CPUs. Right now, NPUs duplicate some of the features of Nvidia's tensor cores and improve/ignore others. Combining CPU+NPU should prove to help close the gap between Intel & AMD and Nvidia in this regard. But, with proper coding/scheduling, these systems should be able to utilize both the CPU NPU and the Nvidia tensor NPUs in parallel, for even more combined performance. Either way, it's all about manipulating matrices as fast as possible. So, whoever masters the matrix best wins.

    AWS is investing $11 billion in Indiana to expand its data centers by Karthik Mudaliar Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced plans to invest $11 billion in Indiana to build data centers. This investment is expected to generate at least 1,000 new jobs and marks the state's largest capital commitment. The new data centers will be located in St. Joseph County, north-central Indiana, and will provide the necessary computer infrastructure for powering cloud computing and generative artificial intelligence. Amazon says that its investment is part of a long-term commitment to Indiana, where it has invested $21.5 billion since 2010 and added $19.8 billion to the state's gross domestic product. The company's investment also includes four solar farms and a wind farm, with a combined capacity of more than 600 MW. AWS is getting sales tax exemptions from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) on eligible capital investments over 50 years, along with performance-based incentives such as tax credits and training grants. Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb said: “Indiana’s long-term economic strategy is paying dividends for Hoosiers as we cultivate the growth of critical sectors like technology infrastructure. Amazon has long been an important economic partner in Indiana, and we are excited to welcome AWS. This significant investment solidifies Indiana’s leadership position in the economy of the future, and will undoubtedly have a positive ripple effect on the town of New Carlisle, the north-central region, and the state of Indiana for years to come.” The new data centers in Indiana will support AWS's expanding cloud computing and generative artificial intelligence (AI) services. Cloud companies are globally expanding their capacities primarily due to a surge in digital transformation initiatives and the use of generative AI. Roger Wehner, AWS director of economic development, said: “AWS’s unwavering commitment to supporting our customers and helping drive digital transformation has been evident through our infrastructure investments across the United States Building upon this, we are thrilled to be expanding our operations in Indiana through this planned $11 billion investment, which will create numerous well-paying job opportunities and tap into the state's burgeoning tech sector, while contributing significantly to the state's growing economy. This investment will include our continuing commitment to fostering workforce development and educational initiatives in areas where we operate, and we look forward to helping nurture the next generation of talent in the Hoosier State. We are excited to partner with Governor Holcomb, IEDC, and other state and local leaders to forge a path toward a brighter future for Indiana’s tech landscape.” Amazon's investment also includes contributing up to $7 million to support road infrastructure improvements in the state, which will benefit residents by enhancing transportation networks and improving accessibility. As more and more businesses move towards modernizing their IT infrastructure, the demand for cloud computing services is increasing rapidly. Recently, Google also announced the expansion of its data centers in the Netherlands.

    I thought that was the old high res texture pack dlc or do you need that as well?
  23. George P
    Maybe as far as sales go, sure. Tech though? I think AMD should be worried. Right now even intels first gen XeSS and their ray tracing performance is better than what AMD can do. Only just a bit behind nVidia on image quality vs DLSS IMO. They already forced AMD to cut prices on it's mid and low range cards like the 7700 line because the A750 and A770 gave you better performance for less. While I don't expect them to compete at the very top end, right now anyways, the low and mid-range is where the bulk of the market is.

    Qualcomm plans more Snapdragon X chips, including 80-core dual-CPU server variants by Taras Buria Later this year, the first Windows 11 PCs with new Snapdragon X processors will hit the market. While we already know a lot about the platform to power Microsoft's new "AI PCs," Qualcomm appears to be preparing even more. According to a new report from Android Authority, the company wants to release one more Snapdragon X Plus SKU and even server variants of its new processors. As of right now, Qualcomm officially unveiled four Snapdragon X processors: three X1 Elite SKUs and one X1 Plus. However, there should be one more X1 Plus variant with eight Oryon cores, fewer PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and less powerful graphics. The SKU in question is X1P-42-100. Interestingly, Qualcomm is aiming at not just regular PCs, like the upcoming Surface Pro 10. The company reportedly works on server chips with Oryon cores. The "SD1" chip allegedly features the following specs: 80 Oryon cores at up to 3.8GHz 16 channels of DDR5 up to 5600MHz 70 PCIe 5.0 lanes CXL v1.1 support 9470-pin LGA socket (98.0×95.0mm) Support for a two-socket configuration Built on TSMC’s 5nm process (N5P) According to the report, Qualcomm briefed its partners about its new server chip somewhere in late 2021 or early 2022. The SD1 could be Qualcomm's second attempt at server chips after the canceled Centriq in 2017. Qualcomm has already provided the first benchmarks of its new Snapdragon X Elite and Plus processors. They look on par with the modern competition, which backs the recent report about Microsoft being confident in its AI PCs being capable of outperforming Apple's M3-based MacBook Air. Of course, real-world tests and benchmarks will have to wait for the first devices to hit the market, which should happen somewhere in mid-2024. Microsoft, for example, plans to unveil the ARM-powered Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 on May 20, 2024.

    It's not unfortunately unless you are fine playing at 720p or even below at locked 24-30 fps. For 1080p you'd want an RX 6600 or at least a 1650 Super.

    Also, remove the built-in version from Windows 11 and combine it with the new Teams to prevent displaying three different versions to the end user. Having to inform users that Microsoft has no direction is quite frustrating. My company Windows 11 laptop has only one version of Teams, the new one.

    It's devolved into more of a clown show. There's still a issue with bots, now anyone can just pay to get a check-mark and post insane things but be taken seriously because people got used to the idea of verified accounts etc. Before Elon took over it was better IMO.

    It should be noted that the 15GB patch is not the next-gen DLC on Steam. If you want that, it's just over 55GB. I'm downloading it now... EDIT: As pointed out, I misunderstood.

    Since Windows Vista, which was the first release of the operating system to be developed with a security-focused approach, security has been a primary concern. The results of those efforts are evident.
