  3. Sounds interesting, but 1. how long is the boost for? 5 minutes? 30 seconds? 2. Yeah I'd still choose an AMD option with their 4000 series, thanks. I'm happy to be back in the AMD fold with my 3900X. Amazing performance. 3. Still vulnerable to Spectre/Meltdown etc? Roll on Surface Book 3, hopefully with an AMD option.

  4. Zoom to fix security and privacy issues in 90-day feature freeze

    A different approach to software development--fix bugs and vulnerabilities before adding more features. This is as it should be and should have always been--apparently forgotten by other major software developers.

  5. I wouldn't buy a new Intel CPU based system right now. First, AMD is coming with much faster and more power efficient APU's for notebooks with the Ryzen 4000 series. Second, Intel is still prone to many security issues that require software patches which will slow down your system or can't even get patched and third, prices for Intel based notebooks are higher.

  6. Don't make the mistake of comparing AMD and Intel's TDP numbers. They don't calculate this the same way. But more importantly, they are marketing-driven numbers that are reverse-engineered into a half-assed formula that is based on temperature, not power consumption! Gamers Nexus covered this extensively a few months ago: https://www.gamersnexus.net/gu...ooler-manufacturer-opinions

  13. YouTube's TikTok rival is reportedly called 'Shorts'

    it kinda is, giving that it is run by a Chinese company. We got no idea what the gov't is doing with all those videos outside of building a database of every persons face to help with it's surveillance. How is it any different than any American company? There are several cases where American companies have been caught sharing data with the us government!

  21. Zoom vulnerability can let hackers steal users' Windows credentials

    To be fair In this one case, this is a windows design issue that all applications on Windows have to mitigate. No... A poor software implementation on a platform is not a design issue with the platform.

  22. Bing is apparently getting a Fluent Design logo, too

    Why don't you apply for a Windows development job at Microsoft? It's easier to make changes on a search engine than a widely used operating system. It could take another 5 or more years to completely move away from Win32. Translation : I am not allowed to criticize.

    I wonder if all these bugs are coming to light because of increased usage of the program, or are they just wanting to fix them now?

    I'm surprised TikTok hasn't been shutdown yet for the same ###### that got Vine shutdown. Idiots promoting "fails" and "challenges" is the bulk of the content. I don't expect this "Shorts" app to be any different in that regard either ....

    It's good the developers at Zoom are taking a hard look at security particularly since Zoom is taking off even on the corporate level.

  32. Who says they become obsolete? All my smartphones (bar one that had a hardware fault) have lived 3-4 years easy. It's people's mindset that ask for new and shiny that sees phones switched out for newer models every 1-2 years. The phones themselves often perform just fine.

    "Please use email, text or phone as alternate means of communication" Ha, even they won't recommend Skype as an alternative. Microsoft really have stuffed up the branding of Skype.

  38. This is a very old trick. Block SMB egress at your firewall. Mobile device? Block SMB to internet address space via Windows Firewall. Doing both doesn't hurt, and isn't hard to do. This was a big deal when Internet Explorer was still a choice that could be rationalized. The better fix is to disable NTLM authentication entirely, but that is admittedly hard to achieve at scale and some Win32 apps don't take well to it with how the NTLM disable GPO kneecaps the APIs in msv1_0.dll. Curiously, using the Protected Users group achieves the same result without breaking quite so much by technically permitting outgoing NTLM, but always doing it with an invalid password. It would be nice for Microsoft to work on improving NTLM control at some point. Using strengthy passwords that can't be so easily reversed from the Net-NTLMv2/MD4 hash is also a good mitigation. Means 12+ character passwords, and ideally scanned against breached password+variant lists. The old 8 character guidance isn't enough to protect against a stolen Net-NTLMv2 hash - with modern cracking hardware (pile of GPUs), those can be reversed in a little as a few minutes, and at worst a few days for highly complex 8-character password. 12+ characters is still good on the multiple-years timescale.

  39. Not at all. Aiming means something. Time to kill is quicker. Inventory management is a lot easier to mess with. No building junk. The matches are 150 players, yet more stable than other games, including Black Ops 4 which struggled at 80 at launch, and had a map that was quite barren by comparison. The Gulag is a great addition to the game to keep matches from feeling too unforgiving, and the "buy back" mechanic means your team have a good way to bring you back, creating additional choke points where people can engage. Only cons to the game imo are when you first run the game, it will want to download the shaders for multiplayer, but after that, it's out of your way. That and maybe the little metal power chords that get played when you loot legendary gear, but that's all just like minor nitpicks. Gun play is amazing overall, customization for days.

  43. I still can't believe there isn't a tie into fingerprint unlocks API for Face ID... Apple was able to integrate face id into the same finger print security authentication so that any app that had touch ID would work with FaceID automatically.

    Now if only more focus was put on Windows 10. I know, I know, different teams ... Not the point. Can you believe that even in all of its beautiful Fluent glory ... that the taskbar still uses the ancient Win32 style for toolbars ... ?

  46. Apple acquires Dark Sky Weather app, kills Android version

    It's a shame to see how crap wunderground has became. Hadn't used it in quite some time through the API and tried it, was greeted with the error, had a look and it was basically people complaining that the new service was worthless.

  50. [C++] How to return an enumeration?

    Enum itself is not a type, it defines a type much like struct / class do. First, you have to define an enumerator. // Define Enumerator enum GameState{ Zero, One, Two, Three, Four }; // Define value GameState eGameStateCurrent = GameState.One; // Get value GameState getGameState(){ return eGameStateCurrent; } // Set value void setGameState(GameState value){ eGameStateCurrent = value; } Hope this helps.
