  1. Alexis Ohanian, co-founder and board member of Reddit, resigns

    "I have resigned as a member of the reddit board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate" That's just racist. People should be hired based on merit. Imagine if there was a requirement for a white candidate, people would loose their ######. Yet we're supposed to believe that blacks are somehow disadvantaged when they can riot and loot and face zero consequences. Talk about being a protected class...

    On another post you called China communist which is literally the opposite. Pick your narrative.

    What a racist jackass. There is literally ZERO reason to do something like this unless he walked into Reddit and got employed solely because he was white. In which case Reddit is the problem, not him. I like to call idiots who do this kind of ###### "woke racists". He thinks he's so tolerant and accepting by pulling stunt like this yet in reality, he's doing the most racist thing ever. Also, imagine being that black person replacing him. You'd eternally have a feeling (and also perception by everyone else) you're there only because you're black and not because you're good at what you do.

  7. ADJECTIVE Racist: "prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized." Do you need those bolded words defined too? Then you are clearly not understanding what you are quoting nor what the issue is in this case. You may want to go back to the speech Chris Rock made when he got to host the Oscars. Especially the response he got from both the hispanic and asian community. In short their response to that speech was: "black people are as worse as white people when it comes to racism". In this case and in current protests you are seeing the exact same thing. People think there are only 2 races when in reality there are more. All the other races should have an equal chance of getting that position. I understand that you have to do an extreme thing such as exclude a white person in order to fix the current issue but that doesn't mean you also have to exclude every other race that isn't black nor does it make it right. Excluding the other ones as well is what makes this action racism. They haven't learned a single thing from the Oscars. If we (aka humanity) want to change the situation then learning from the Oscars is critical.

    First of all, what he wants is for a qualified black individual to take over his position. Secondly, you can talk meritocracy but until black children have equal access to education and the same amount of social mobility as white children then there are going to be clear disadvantages for the black population, hence the need for this type of affirmative action. Btw, affirmative action continues to be responsible for allowing white women in the United States and white men from poorer/rural regions in the United States to get increased education and economic opportunities; and the reasons are similar for why this action is also necessary for black individuals (people born in marginalized poorer community, very low social mobility, insufficient access to education, and fewer economic opportunities often by virtue of the region they live in). Finally, the protests in the United States, especially the more recent ones, have largely been peaceful. All you need is some group of opportunists to cause harm (many of whom were not black mind you, the looters were from many different backgrounds with different motivations). Moreover, I am quite surprised you are calling black individuals a protected class when the very reason behind these protests are police violence and killings that disproportionately impacts the black population. If they were of a protected class then incidents such as the murder of George Floyd would not have happened (amongst many other similar incidents).

  9. MS probably didn't list it because there was a driver update already out before the v2004 Windows update went out. I don't know who's to blame but it sounds like intel didn't push or have the newer driver up on WU in time or something to that extent. So the update installs with a older version it has on record. OEMs need to make sure they have the newest drivers on record before OS updates are go out. Sounds like someone, probably at intel, dropped the ball.

    "First of all, what he wants is for a qualified black individual to take over his position. " That's racist. Positions should be based solely on merit, not on genitals or skin color. "you can talk meritocracy but until black children have equal access to education and the same amount of social mobility as white children then there are going to be clear disadvantages for the black population " Blacks have special treatment in education. Whites and Asians are penalized in SAT scores. Blacks have preferential placement in Colleges. Black schools get more government funding than white or hispanic schools and perform much worse. "I am quite surprised you are calling black individuals a protected class when the very reason behind these protests are police violence and killings that disproportionately impacts the black population " Whites are killed more often than blacks in same-case scenarios. For 100,000 violent arrests 4 whites are killed vs 3 blacks killed per 100,000 violent arrests. Blacks, while being a minority of population commit over half of all violent crime. Black on white crime is 9x more prevalent than white on black crime. Yet whites, asians, and hispanics do not riot.

    I hope his position is handed to a qualified individual.... I don't care the race or gender or what they identify as as long as they are qualified... but if he insists it goes to a black person over someone else (indian, asian, etc) that in itself is kinda racist isn't it? I thought there were also laws that prevent from hiring people based on their race as a key qualifier?

  16. The Windows 10 May 2020 Update apparently breaks Intel Optane Memory

    Terrible. Microsoft's hiring of developers and quality control isn't what it used to be. Go back to beta/RC/gold releases and get your code right. Don't use consumers for testing! And it will probably get worse with many university courses switching from C++ to Python.

  17. Yay or nay? Made an app that adds Aero Glass, Start Menu on Windows 10

    What the title says. I got sick and tired of the included Windows 10 theme, and the slow Start Screen. Now I think it looks perfect. Why make my own? I know there's Window Blinds which is incredibly slow (it uses GDI instead of HW-accelerated Direct2D), doesn't even have blur behind the glass and there's also Glass8 (I think that's what it's called?) but is exceptionally hacky and, I would say, shady. My implementation is not perfect, but it doesn't add a single line of low-level rendering code, doesn't break any application (so far) and it's all (theme+start menu) contained into a single library. On the other hand, it's largely unoptimized, thus DWM memory consumption increased to about 70mb (still nothing compared to most apps). There's some work ahead before I can even release an installer but it can be done if a good amount of people is even interested. Using the flat built in Windows 10 theme:

  20. Going through someone's server, of course you'll need to authenticate. Down the road it'll probably support multiple devices if it doesn't already (think Pushbullet), going to be required anyway. Almost every service like this requires a centralized server, only one coming to mind that doesn't is KDE Connect, and that's limited to a one way connection, when it works at all.

  25. Objecting to people being harmed and killed is now woke? WTF? Except that these things have nothing to do with why the protests are happening. True for the game companies it is free PR and then more time to prepare stuff for events and DLC. UbiSoft did it right. They donated a huge sum to the cause. They didn’t cancel anything. In fact they released their Anno 1800 DLC weeks earlier because it was already done. Ironically they aren’t a US company. But many others just scream how hard they care without doing anything that benefits themselves.

    Stereotyping individuals i.e. assigning default properties to a stranger by identified group increases chances of survival. This is advanced brain feature. Stereotyping allows to apply more relevant behaviour to the strangers you meet first time. It allows to know that you can safely pet the cat or dog, give carrot to the horse and not do the same things with spiders and snakes. Living beings, who favoured same DNA survived better. Bigger difference in DNA correlates with the bigger chance to be a food source. Complex societies require cooperation and extend equal treatment to living beings with more differences in DNA, because it gives advantage in survival of such society. Side effect of that is extending protections to animals and other possible sentient beings. People who understand it better than others are adjusting their actions in order to protect reputation of their group, which result in more positive stereotypes and preferential treatment. This is how good behaviour is rewarded. This is the one of the reasons why some countries acquired more power for their passports. It is very simple: reputation of the group mostly depends on observed behaviour of its individuals. Groups, with higher percentage of anti-social individuals, will ruin reputation of their individuals and groups constantly. Unfortunately, some people do not understand such simple concept, therefore blame others and fail to focus on the source of the problem.

  34. Apple is tracking down looted devices in the U.S.

    who are you to decide who is part of the peaceful protesters. i thought apple is left leaning why are they tracking the phones taken by the oppressed people? By what you clearly just stated, they are not part of the peaceful protests. Those protests do not include looting and rioting. The minute those are involved, they are no longer peaceful and are removed from the the people still acting in accordance. Just because they walk up and stand for a couple minutes before they cause violence and chaos does not include them or associate anyone else in their stupid acts. That would be the same as you were at the bank making a deposit and it gets robbed. You did nothing or didn't know about it, so now you are an accomplice along with everyone else in the bank at that time. Yes, apple is a more progressive company, but to assume that a business will not try to recoup stolen goods is just plain idiotic. don't deceive yourself because all those looting and riots always stem from the peaceful protest. they are part of it, they are protesting as a result of George. apple is pushing left wing agenda, these riots are supported by the democrat leaders, they should not be recovery them back because it is a march they all support. who will recover the black small business that was looted? hypocrites I guess if I am just deceiving myself, then I can equate you to supporting all of the white nationalist because they support your view on the subject. Doesn’t matter that you may not know them or agree with what they are doing, but hey if they agree with you, you are one of them. See how that argument fails. I bet you also supported the “peaceful” protest in Michigan where they marched with gun to the capital. I mean, that’s just their right under the 2nd amendment and not a threat. Its funny that most of the rioting and looting here is from outside sources, but hey, it’s all actual protesters faults. I guess if they just let things go, the opportunist wouldn’t have anything to cover their buts. /s we are talking about protest here. your analogy is pointless. people protest for george flyord and i see churches and stores burning. the protest is not peaceful i am sorry. there is no way you can spin it. the trouble makers are part of the protest. No, we are not talking about the protests... you are talking about the riot and looting and equating that to the protests. Just because a person saying that they are part of a movement does something stupid, it does not make that act part of the overall movement, especially when that same movement is instantly separating itself and denouncing it. You have protesters also stepping in front of the people causing the violence and looting, so I guess that just all for show, right? Actually don't even answer that, as I am sure you will either completely dismiss it or find a way to pull a Trump on the matter. This will be my last reply to you as just like many, can not separate between people asking and pleading for change and those who are strictly out to cause chaos. lol, i am talking about the protest. it was anything but peaceful a lot of people died, police were attacked, stores were looted. again, the George Flyord protest was violent from the US to the UK it was violent Jesus you really are talking a whole bunch of crud This is why I put the last part of my comment in to not answer, and he proved me right. At this point we just have to accept that they are not able to separate things in a normal matter and can only concentrate on one thing at a time. There is no need to feed or even acknowledge them at this point. Sad to see, but some time necessary. I equate it to life guard training of if a person is going to drown you during a rescue, you have to know when to let go and preserve your own life.

  40. You know what else "isn't what it used to be"? Hardware. There is -so- much more of it than 15 years ago. Thousands of motherboards relased over the last decade.... dozens of new CPUs every year.... a whole bunch of different GPU chipsets, multiplied by many vendors selling several variants of each chipset.... a much wider variety of complex connectivity standards than ever before.... many, many combinations of RAM sizes, speeds, and latency timings. On and on and on. And that's before we get to quality variances with individual pieces of hardware. Maybe a particular component on a particular entry-level motherboard doesn't do very well with a certain amount of PSU ripple, and will cause some kind of failure once every month or so, and only in areas where the user's original source of power isn't clean. Do you see? It is basically impossible to test everything now. Sorry but that is a poor excuse, I am old enough to remember in the 90's being even more to choose from, Cyrix CPUs were also a mainstream thing and GPUs didn't even have the standard like the mainly two choices you see today between AMD and Nvidia, and their respective lines of GPUs also are based off one same-gen of tech (Pascal, Turing etc). 68k is correct and it isn't limited to Microsoft, companies keep putting beta products in the hands of consumers who have to suffer throughn the first gen of hardware and software releases due to a lack of proper QA. Are you really arguing that there was more hardware and it was more complex in the 90s? Nah, I must be missing something, nobody is that silly. I'm not "arguing" at all.
