  1. Growing demand? Who is demanding? Is there a preorder form somewhere I don't know about? You haven't even revealed the price....how can there be high demand? People don't even know if they can afford it yet.

  5. Office 365 outlook.exe Faulting module name: mso98win32client.dll

    Had two customers call me about this, this morning. Found a reddit thread with a fix. Confirmed it fix both machines. I'm guessing Microsoft will eventually fix it and push down a fix. But if you are in a pinch and need outlook.exe working now. cd “\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun” then: officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.6366.2062

  9. Stardock's Curtains customization tool is now available

    If nothing else, it certainly brings back memories of endlessly looking for a custom theme that doesn't look terrible, giving up and going back to default.

  12. Trying to install W10(2004) on new SSD

    "copied files from stick (on first attemp of install)" For clarification....you didn't just copy the installation files from the USB drive onto the new SSD and then try to boot? You booted with the USB drive, it started installing and then on a reboot...you got that error...right? Just clarifying.

  13. Google to invest $4.5 billion in India's Jio Platforms

    Eventually there won’t be any place left to run. We keep allowing these mergers to go through and not holding them accountable will cause these conglomerates to have more and more control and influence in our lives. People are too busy and ignorant with their lives to be bothered with until it’s too late.

  14. Neowin.net Minecraft Server (Old Server)

    Can we please disable the plugin that deletes items on the ground? I lost all my stuff because I died and all my items were all over the ground (apparently keep inventory doesn't work in the nether) and by the time I got back to where I died, less than a minute, the plugin had deleted all my items. Given that we have very few people online at any one time, I don't believe that items on the ground are causing any appreciable lag. It would also be great if we could work out why keep inventory isn't working in the nether. I've now lost 3 elytra there.

    There aren't many good Curtain themes right now. The ones included with Curtains looks to be the cream of the crop. I've was made aware that for WindowBlinds there's now a cool XP/Watercolor theme that I'm really keen on trying. Free too.

  21. I'm not about what browser I think is the best or what browser another person doesn't think is the best. I use Chrome because it works and works well for me and my business across many different hardware configs. I have It on 15+ computers including, laptops and about 8 phones. I am integrated into the Google ecosystem and use their other apps as well. The above has nothing whatsoever to do with being a fanboy. If you don't like it, don't use it. Super simple. I never think about how much memory it uses as it never causes me any issues, on any computer I have occasion to use whether it be personal, business or my Mom's, various friends and other Family. It's simply not a problem for me. I have a gaming rig and when I game, I can have Chrome open with 12+ tabs and never know its there. I don't see the uproar.

  24. This doesn't look to be a issue of 2FA, this looks to be direct hack on twitters server and some one got admin access and can pretty much do whatever to any ones account. You could be totally secure on your end but it won't do you much good if the service gets hacked on it's end which totally bypasses what you've done.

  30. Intel is planning to announce "something big" on September 2

    10 is bigger than 7 and therefore better! Remember, size doesn't matter much anymore. It's all about density, and Intel's 10nm is way more dense than any of their competitors' 7nm offering.

  31. as always ... and apple fanboys cannot wait to queue in line for the next revolutionary iphone I am not a fanboy, lifetime Android user, but I am moving over to iPhone when 12 comes out. For me personally it will provide better stability. My OnePlus 6t has had numerous problems. Especially because I am getting the watch as well, I need to move over anyway to apple products. So, what you're saying is that you are a closeted apple fanboy...........................

  34. Actually it isn't bad, especially when you consider that this system will have several times the CPU performance and 10x or more the GPU performance of the fastest $60,000 Mac Pro configuration. Several times? Says who? AMD's own web site shows the top-end 3995WX at 20% faster in AfterEffects than the Xeon W 3275, which is the top-end CPU in the Mac Pro. You'd think they'd choose a different benchmark if there was a bigger gap, wouldn't you? Also, comparing to the "$60,000 Mac Pro" is silly... the spec tops out at about 54k, for one thing, and 25k of that is for 1.5TB memory -- which is 50% more than you can spec this upcoming ThinkStation with. Say who? Anyone that can do math... Take ANY turing Optix enhanced graphics software title, from Premiere to Blender, and compare it to highest end Radeon Pro Apple sells. The differences is dramatic, and this isn't even touching the real-time effects available on RTX, with real-time ray tracing previews, etc. Sure Navi 2 will help here, but that will be an additional cost. Now go look at the Maximum Xeon cores you can buy in the Mac Pro - then do the math. How is this 'news' to people that can go watch demonstrations or buy equipment and test it themselves? Apple HAS NEVER BEEN a GRAPHICAL or PROCESSING powerhouse. The myth that 'Macs are good for graphics.' was ONLY true in the mid 1980s. Starting in the 90s, WIndows had accelerated GPU options from the 8514 to the ATI Vantage and other similar options, moving forward to full 2D and 3D acceleration technologies that did not work on MacOS. So just using the time frame of 90-95 - rendering pages in Quark or Pagemaker or Illustrator was often 20-30x faster on Windows with an accelerated video card. Even when Apple did start to offer 2D acceleration in Macs - it was slow in comparison. (I literally had to buy print shops PCs to render and print work I was doing in the early 90s, as something that took maybe 30 seconds to draw on a PC - took over 10 minutes to draw on the fastest Mac available.) In the early 00s, Macs had a 3D compositor, but was using slow display postscript and poor 3D frameworks. One reason bungie even talked to Microsoft is that their plans for a Mac sequel of Marathon ran like crap on Macs compared to Windows due to the differences in 3D technologies and frameworks. Want one final example? Go look up what Adobe had to say about Apple and 'Graphics' around 2005 - they FINALLY had to flat out tell their customers to STOP BUYING MACS, they are SLOWER. Over the years, even when MacOS was doing things well, the hardware options offered by Apple was a joke. Mas had low resolution screens at a time when 1920x1200 was common on PCs (2004 era) - mid range GPUs, and mid range CPUs. There were almost always GPU options for PCs/Windows that are 2x or more faster than the high end GPU offered in the Mac Pro or Macbook Pro by Apple. So Benchmark...BIGGER GAP? - The benchmark I am referring to is reality. Try it sometime. Grab tools like the GPU updated Premiere or DaVinci Resolve - go grab any 3D software package that still works on MacOS. Try Unity or Unreal - and notice, not only are they slower than ###### on a Mac, you can't do ray tracing or dozens of other more advanced technologies - 3D technologies are nearly 3 years old on Windows now. Head over to YouTube - there are people that demonstrate this crap, in case you don't want to see the results or do any 'work' yourself. FFS (It will literally take forever to deprogram people, just so they can notice the crap Apple is often giving them as 'the best' is slow as ###### in comparison to PCs and lacking massive numbers of features.)

  35. Microsoft sneaks in Bing search integration on Android using Outlook

    Resorting to shady tactics in order to get people to use an inferior search engine? I expected nothing less from this pathetic company. How about making a superior or even an innovative improvement to your product and let it speak for itself? This is what happens when your product stinks. There’s no limit to how low they will stoop in order to get people to use it. SMH.

  36. Nothing Disrupts the System Like an Inquisitive Mind

    I work in a large hospital as a critical care RN and have seen the deaths from this pandemic first hand. I work with COVID-19 patients and I have seen entire families die from this virus. This video is total cr@p. Anyone who believes this is an utter fool. I guess that this is Darwinism at it's best.

  37. Nothing Disrupts the System Like an Inquisitive Mind

    It starts with a lie. The first claim the guy makes is utterly untrue! ”Quarantine is a term used for the certified sick” No it’s not. It means segregation to determine and then address any potential sickness. When an animal comes into the country and is placed into quarantine, it’s not because the animal IS sick, it’s because it MAY BE sick or carrying bugs. When you quarantine a file, it’s not because it IS malware, it’s because you want to check and then delete it. So of the first argument made is entirely wrong, why would I have any faith to engage any further? You bringing this here is nothing more than an indication of the level of nonsense that you either believe or wish to push upon others. So either you are mentally lacking or deliberately circulating disinformation.

  44. Chrome is so terrible it's either a massive RAM hog and when they slightly fix that (it's still a fat slug) it becomes a massive CPU hog. And entire world still flocks to this pile of steaming garbage for some reason. WHY?! It doesn't have any features what so ever, it's not even that fast, they sacked ad blocking API's, so why the hell everyone uses this garbage? Because you can login to google account in it from the menu? I just can't understand the idea behind this insane popularity of Chrome...

    I was not worried about the legal ramifications, it was more that they suspended her service over it. I bought her a new router and the WiFi password is different then before, so hopefully that helps!
