  1. LMAO such privacy invading features should have never been there in first place. What if I am watching porn and all my history is seen by my co-worker or my wife or my mum or even worse, my male Yoga instructor and his dog? They should also give us an option to disable Top Apps being displayed when you click on search box. I don’t want everyone to know that I use Virtua Girl app constantly and play Cyberpunk the most.

  2. Microsoft is winding down another Windows 10 feature, the Timeline [Update]

    Good... It was always a standard thing to disable on new Windows 10 installs.

  8. I never used the feature, it just is not compelling enough to get me out of my legacy workflow. However, the hypocrisy of bashing Microsoft over features like this never fails to surprise me. macOS never even had a feature like this, they hardly put out 'daring' features anyways they're so conservative. Remember Launch Pad, well it's still there. Nobody uses it, still useless on a non-touch screen, no pont. No Apple bashing. I don't think Microsoft should be bashed for trying interesting things like Timeline. I think once again the lack of Windows Phone kills it. The ideal scenario is going back and forth between PC & phone with a feature like this. Nobody is going to have 2 Windows 10 PCs signed in with the same account to use this. Hell, even the Continuity feature between iOS & macOS is nice but I hardly ever use it for task continuation. Only text messages, phone calls. That's it.

  9. I hope they get rid of this type of data collection. It clutters up my task view screen when it's on. If this feature must stay, then they need to figure out how to make it less cluttery.

  10. They should World of Warcraft-ify it with the amount of work they've been put into it! What a waste of time and effort it would have been just to shelve it now.

  11. Well it's been 3 years. I also suspect that most people only have 1 PC, the amount of people that both have 2 PC's and would use TImeline is likely small. That said it doesn't seem like a feature that takes enough time to maintain that it would be worth cutting unless they feel they may have a replacement or removing it makes it easier to update a component it relies on. Possibly with intent to bring a similar feature later. Maybe with/after the Sun Valley revamp

  12. Best free anti-malware software?

    Windows Security is the best for Windows 10. If you skip the biased horshit you see on the internet and really check it out, you'll see it's very robust. I manage 15+ computers at home/work/family. All have Windows 10 and all have Windows Security as it's sole AV/Malware solution. They are wide ranging hardware specs and usage. None have been infected.

  13. A good move, I'd rather see companies admitting they can't meet a deadline than higher-ups try and get the programmers doing some Japanese-style Karoshi to meet the unmeetable.

  14. I don't know why you're claiming click-bait, I've quoted him almost verbatim and backed most statements with backlinks to older articles. I don’t think he knows what clickbait is. While I question why they would shelf such an expensive product for them anyway, it’s certainly not clickbait. Oh I do know what clickbait is. Asking a suggestive question, then over-emphazising the answer to create an exaggerated and missleading statement. "I don’t see an option to shelve Cyberpunk 2077" is the answer to a question that is non-sensical to begin with, which clearly was if CDPR would abandon the title. Taking this and turning it into "CDPR refuses to give up on Cyberpunk 2077" gives it another turn on the bs-meter, implying that this was demanded by someone. yeah ... that's click-bait allright. It's an interview by Reuters, reported by us. If anything, go blame them for asking the question which got a response "I don’t see an option to shelve Cyberpunk 2077". Like adrynalyne, I agree that it's a silly question but it's definitely not click-bait on our side at least.

  15. Most of the negative effects could've been avoided if the suits didn't force the game to be released on the last-gen base consoles (PS4/XB1). Those just can't run it, I don't care how much they patch or try to optimize it. They'll never be able to run the same type of game on those that you'll get on the new systems and PC, forget night and day, we're talking the difference between Earth and Mars here. The smart thing would've been to go all in on the PC version first, iron that out, release it this year, THEN work on PS5/XSX versions for later this year. Just drop the last-gen versions. But all the suits see are the user numbers and the revenue/sales they'd lose by dropping those versions and push ahead knowing it would be a mess. Oh well. I've enjoyed it on my PC though, bring on the free dlc and more content so I can jump back in and do something else.

  16. How do you like these compared to Creative Suite? Anything you miss compared to CC? I think the only reason Adobe's still ruling is because there's no other complete suite with so many products integrated into each other. But at this point, like MS Office, they're too feature rich than what regular users need or care to learn about, and most would rather prefer to purchase cheap 'Lite-version' apps a-la-carte. I'd say those mentioned largely cannot compete with Adobe products in terms of usability and are not even within shooting distance in features. That said, if you are not already accustomed to using Adobe software and having everything you need at your fingertips, they're absolutely acceptable alternatives. Paint.Net and InkScape are great in a pinch for simple Photoshop- and Illustrator-esque work, respectively. For DTP, Quark and I have never been friends. I can't believe they are still around. InDesign was iffy when it was new because there were lots of problems with commercial RIPS, but even then I was more willing to put up with it's tricks than to use Quark XPress. Some of it is snobbery, not just from the users, but from the clients as well. a friend of mine have been using Adobe products for years, mainly photoshop and illustrator as she is a graphic designer and a lot of the time it was her clients that says about using Adobe products and yet a lot of the time it makes little difference to them, sure if they need the file format than that is a different thing, but if they only want to use the final product, then what does it matter what she used? Anyway she cut down at the start of this year to smaller clients and got rid of Adobe products, going instead for Serif affinity suit, she loves it, and she thinks they are as good as Adobe stuff, once you get used to how they work. She does very little video stuff, but for that she uses final cut, and she used that for years anyway. You are right that being all combined helps keep the sales up for Adobe products, but hopefully people will see that there are other ways outs there.

  17. Bad news aside, the game still makes the news like this and has interest from gamers who want to play it but are holding off for next gen or for more bug fixes. It's not like it didn't sell well overall, I bought it and have enjoyed it, just waiting for more content since I've done everything to do for now. Once they get a few more updates and some free dlc or the next-gen updates, I think they'll see another round of sales.

    That sounds like a fan groaning. It could be your PSU or your back fan. Take a q-tip and stop the fans. One by one. If it stops the whining, that is the culprit.

  27. I grew up with 95, 98 and XP, so my muscle-memory of old-school ways to navigating the system hindered me really using newer features like the timeline. That's my fault, rather than the feature's fault.

  29. Best free anti-malware software?

    I used Bitdefender free for a long time and used to install it on other people's computers. Never got any complaints and it is very highly rated. A few of the other free AV's use it's engine. Going to assume that's a Windows 10 laptop? What's wrong with Windows Defender to work along with Malwarebytes? Wouldn't put McAfee on an enemies computer!

  30. Best free anti-malware software?

    The real question is do you need a separate malware scanner? Most AV's scan for Malware as well, so do you need a standalone scanner?

  32. Have to admit, I held off playing until recently following the 1.2 patch and I haven't experienced any crashes or deal breakers. Had the odd graphical glitch here and there but nothing major. I think if the hype surrounding this game at launch hadn't been so high, it would have avoided a lot of the negativity. The Witcher 3 was bugged when first launched but damn near perfect after the patches were released and I played nearly 300 hours on that without any issues (other than Roach appearing on roofs occasionally haha). I preordered it on GOG the day it first went live but never felt like asking for a refund as I have/had faith that they could fix it. A game of this scale and open-ness is always going to have odd glitches but it's definitely getting there now and well worth a play (I've clocked about 50-60 hours on it relatively issue free)

  33. Cyberpunk 2077 gets a new hotfix with a host of fixes and improvements

    That's the good thing about this game. Once you get to the 'Point of no return', you can save, then start wondering around the city completing all the quests. There are lots of them and they are lots of fun, especially if you are a high level.

  41. Adobe announces a bunch of video editing improvements in Premiere

    Have a look at Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve... Most of the stuff you want to do is in the free version. And the Pro version is roughly 250 bucks, and I went from v16 to v17 without any costs. And no monthly/yearly fees either.

  42. Just 1,000 respondents? And from 1,000 respondents, they discovered that 108 million people experienced cybercrime? Even if all of them were from the U.S., the accuracy of the survey would have been 0.000,925%. Am I missing something here?

  44. Nvidia now a three-chip company as it unveils its first Arm-based CPU

    Focus solely on diversity hires and inclusivity and that's the future any company will be heading. What? AMD and Nvidia are also very diverse companies to work at and they are doing fine. Intel's problem is not diversity, it is lack of foresight and leadership because the company got complacent in their leadership position and did not take its competition seriously (and they miscalculated their ability in 10 nm fabs). But I guess we should blame people from marginalized communities who are finally being given opportunities for when a company does badly. You might have overlooked the word "solely" in boumboqc's message. You might have overlooked the lack of evidence. There's no evidence to suggest that Intel focuses "solely" on "diversity hires" and other industry players' hiring practices are too different. It's entirely conjecture based on a political agenda.

  47. OneDrive sync client gets 64-bit support on Windows

    Now consider that Windows has had a fully 64bit version since 2002, and NT's kernel 4.0 on Alpha was 64bit. There are still some weird disconnects inside Microsoft with a 'younger' generation not understanding or supporting key features of the OS technologies and dev/compiler features of Microsoft. There are ZERO reasons OneDrive was compiled for x64 with x64 data structures. It is literally a 5 minute change. Makes no sense.

  49. Same here. Once NFC is added, I'll consider making the purchase. I don't care if the unit comes with older hardware as long as it's relatively recent (2019ish for me, 2020 if we're lucky) but it HAS to come with NFC. We better see a change for £1000

  50. camera aside, there isn't an OEM ANYWHERE with a machine this well put together, outside of perhaps apple. Software sucked, but hardware is excellent (dating aside) Agreed. I'll rant on Microsoft for the poor software experience for this device, but you simply can't think that they aren't making high quality hardware. There are always examples of individual units having issues, across all manufacturers, but in general, this is an excellent first attempt at hardware for Microsoft. Here's hoping they're listening to concerns because the jump from V1 to V2 overall needs to be massive to take this device seriously (mostly on software, but also a little on hardware)
