Microsoft is blocking Windows 10 1903 and 1909 upgrades for some antivirus users
Sszecret and 2 others reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Why? As someone said to me, allowing MS to defend your computer against viruses is like leaving a fox to guard a hen house. My trust in Ms is pretty low, I prefer to have something else there as well. Really? Do you think ANY company understands how Windows works better than Microsoft? ** Even just the storage I/O (which AV software tries to intercept) is extemely complex, which is why a lot of AV software mangles data, and prevents the OS from writing full information properly to an NTFS volume. I don't understand why people think that engineers that often don't even understand the basics of how Windows NT works, would think they are 'smarter' than Microsoft in identifying entry points and properly screening information. Even that aside, the automatic reporting of Defender provides Microsoft with millions of potential threats to assess, which is then automatically distributed to 800 million users instantly. There is no AV company that can do this, and that is if they aren't hijacking features, breaking Windows (see article above), or slowing down key system features like caching technologies and basic I/O. Finally, NTFS is not just a FS hierarchy, it is a set of technologies and services that can easily be mangled when a 3rd party hooks into the I/O, especially when they circumvent things like journaling and copy on write from working properly, as the NTFS services see the 'screened' data from the AV as non-secure/polluted. NTFS is robust, which is also why it is a really bad idea to allow OSX or Linux to have write access to NTFS volumes, as they almost always damage data structures, and Windows has to spend time fixing the data on its next boot. ** The 'security' myth/stories about Microsoft have been a dead horse for over 10 years. Do a bit of research from Vista to 10 on both bugs/exploit numbers, and also on infections. Nearly 95% of all Windows infections in the last 10 years were through 3rd party software, specifically - Chrome, Java, Flash, iTunes/Safari, Adobe. - Crap that many people continued to use and still use without a second thought of security. (Oh several AV tools were also responsible for a large chunk of infections, as some created new vulnerabilities, opened new entry points, and were not updated.3 points -

Geezy and one other reacted to Paul1979UK for a topic
It was just all marketing, 10.7 tflops or whatever it was, 4k, cheap gaming. In reality, games look better on the Xbox One X which is only 6 tflops, most of the games are not native 4k which is the impression they give at first and games are not cheap on the platform compared to the PC. The only area where this service makes any sense is if you play very few games over a few years and you are on the free 1080p tier, any other area and it actually looks more expensive than PC and console gaming once you add up the savings from games and no subs.2 points -

The service is stupid and it has been proven many times this nonsense just doesn't work. Everyone just thinks they'll be able to play 4K games at 60fps super cheap. Not to mention you end up owning even less of the games as you already do with services like Steam and stuff.2 points -

oddMLan and one other reacted to Brony for a topic
* Google = I will launch a new service that everybody is saying to me that it will fail. * Stadia launch (It tanked). * Google = Surprised Pikachu. It is because Google tried to hide the elephant in the room. The quality of Stadia is not only measured by the bandwidth but also the lag and the stability of the network. The lag is tenfold times more important than the bandwidth. So, some people think "hey, I have a +100mbps connection, so I can play Stadia at 4k"... well, nope.2 points -

macoman reacted to dead.cell for a topic
Honestly, Google did it backwards. They should've focused on getting 1080p down first along with getting launch issues under control, get people on the platform first and start growing it. Have issues? Oh well, at least they're not paying a subscription for it! That's what Nintendo did at least, having free online use for what... a year until they began offering paid services? And it worked! Even though there's room for improvement, Nintendo also has an array of first-party titles to help sell their consoles. Stadia doesn't even have that though, and I doubt a couple extra games will change much.1 point -

And Disney suddenly remembered that there are aliens in Star Wars. The only "off" thing was the music, which wasn't bad, just off. I enjoyed it and look forward to the next episode. Which is good, because this is like 90% of the reason I have Disney+. Thanks, but I already have the first 10 seasons of The Simpsons on DVD. Anyway, felt like Star Wars. It was a pretty simple introduction to the series, I don't know how much there is to say. Can't say that I like or dislike the character, there wasn't really any development, though you get an idea of who he is and what his goals are.1 point -
Former Cheerleader Brooke Skylar Richardson Found Not Guilty of Killing Newborn
PurpleHaze420 reacted to Mockingbird for a topic
Well, to be fair, Skylar is suffering from anorexia and bulimia. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the the baby was a stillborn and Skylar is telling the truth. The whole case hinged on the prosecutor proving that the baby was not a stillborn, and the prosecutor failed to do so. Obviously, if the baby is a stillborn, Skylar, by law, couldn't have murdered her baby.1 point
