How to block KB5001330 Patch Tuesday update affecting game performance [Update]

And this is why I tend to prefer console gaming. After working in front of a computer for 8 hours a day, mostly troubleshooting large enterprise systems, I don't really enjoy going home only to have to troubleshoot to be able to play my games!!!8 points -
Linux bans University of Minnesota for sending buggy patches in the name of research [Update]
SteveL and 6 others reacted to Jim K for a topic
From my limited knowledge in this whole process...Greg Kroah-Hartman had every right to be ###### and the ban seems legit. One of the first rules is to ask for consent...not to submit "bad faith patches" for your own research thus wasting the time of Linux contributors and the Linux community in general.7 points -

Linux bans University of Minnesota for sending buggy patches in the name of research [Update]
goretsky and 5 others reacted to UMN Computer Science for a topic
Leadership in the University of Minnesota Department of Computer Science & Engineering learned today about the details of research being conducted by one of its faculty members and graduate students into the security of the Linux Kernel. The research method used raised serious concerns in the Linux Kernel community and, as of today, this has resulted in the University being banned from contributing to the Linux Kernel. We take this situation extremely seriously. We have immediately suspended this line of research. We will investigate the research method and the process by which this research method was approved, determine appropriate remedial action, and safeguard against future issues, if needed. We will report our findings back to the community as soon as practical. Sincerely, Mats Heimdahl, Department Head Loren Terveen, Associate Department Head6 points -

BTW the optional KB5000842 update is the same as the official Patch Tuesday KB5001330 update, offered in late March https://www.neowin.net/news/mi...-19041906---heres-whats-new So if you are still getting performance issues after uninstalling the Patch Tuesday update, check if you have installed the KB5000842 optional update and uninstall that too.4 points -

I don't think the kernel community has time or resources to investigate the other teams. It seems like this was done intentionally in bad faith. It should now be up to the university to deal with the situation, and then work on mending bridges with the community.4 points -
FPS Boost arrives in 13 EA games, up to 120FPS supported on Xbox Series X|S
dustojnikhummer and 2 others reacted to George P for a topic
FPS boost is one of those cool little things that the Xbox team doesn't get enough credit for IMO. It'll be interesting to see just how many titles end up with this option. I'm currently playing through fallout 4, i've owned it for the longest time but never got around to it. I haven't went in to turn fps boost on for it yet though, keep forgetting to. I play it pretty slow though, less like a FPS and more like the RPG it is at it's core. I should get around to turning it on next time.3 points -

Didn't read the paper fully, but here's my thoughts based on the abstract and this article: 1. Should have used a different/smaller/rolled their own OSS to prove the point. 2. Should have done it in a controlled environment within the Uni. 3. Should have asked for permission from someone of appropriate authority in the Linux community with the assurance of rollback of the malicious patches. 4. Should not have acted like an idiot claiming to be a newbie when they got caught.3 points -

I never refunded mine, but when I purchased it on release I had no intention of playing it until the bugs were fixed and a Series X update was released, I had decided this before it was even released and all the issues were known as I knew there would be lots in a game like this, there always is, for me there was no frustration or disappointment, just waiting, so much waiting.2 points -

Tuskd and one other reacted to ShadeOfBlue for a topic
On the flip side, the devs in the thread still seem to be doubling down on the practice of stuffing some things into the kernel, sans checking, as long as it's from "trusted" contributors. The people from the university submitted real fixes before moving on to fake ones. Then they wrote a whole paper about it before attempting this next batch of allegedly bad patches. I don't think an intelligence service or an extortionist would be so kind. It makes you wonder what else has gotten into the kernel. Open source is great and all, but relatively few people are both familiar and skilled enough with kernel stuff to check people's work. When your first line of defense doesn't bother to check, the next line is probably far down the road.2 points -

Dead? You mean like LinkedIn and Github? I was thinking about it recently and yes, github has became trash under microsoft, I keep getting logged out now and have to login with a password, I then have to enter a code they send via email but 2fa is OFF. They've have multiple bugs with things just not working or spamming emails, they've removed valid projects. I'm yet to see a single thing they've done which is a positive thing that wouldn't have happened if they hadn't bought github. You're nuts. Unlimited private repositories for free isn't a good thing? And that was just the first thing they did.2 points -

dustojnikhummer reacted to Nas for a topic
I assume you forgot the /sarcasm designation... But if you were truly serious, then I don't think you understand how progress works. Back in the iPod days (or iPhone 1, same OS), there were practically no options; these days, the options are essentially "old way v. new way" real-world A/B tests. Based on feedback (read: not necessarily usage telemetry) or business incentives (or product management whims), they'll gradually phase out the Old Way and simply run with the New Way. I actually respect how Apple has been progressing with their iOS cadence; they're not in multi-year fits and starts (ahem, Microsoft) or annual break-fix-break cycles (ahem, Ubuntu) or release-and-let-die (ahem, Google Android). I prefer the WinMo UX, but iOS is polished and their app store is flush with options.1 point -

That is ok, if you choose to think that way, sure, no problem. I just recently reformatted 2 of my computers, mostly because I changed from sata to NvMe, it took me 4 hours do both of them, no fuss whatsoever. Soon they were running steam... and that is about it. I haven't seen anything related to these issues in my computer, then again, I game on my bed with my thinkpad a485 using an xbox controller.1 point -

Discord has reportedly rejected Microsoft's offer, will go for an IPO instead [Update]
dustojnikhummer reacted to SuperTamago for a topic
Yeah, once they get their shareholders, Discord will be basically forced to make up more profits. Prices of their subscription might go up or turn more into advertising. Microsoft purchasing it will just make Discord as part of the Xbox ecosystem, or as a one of the new Microsoft's communication and social service, will be subsidized by Xbox or even from Microsoft 365. It may not replace Skype entirely since Discord still serve a different use case, only video call and chat share similar thing over Skype. which is a basic thing for a communication service. But Xbox Live Chat (or Xbox Network Chat?) will get replaced by Discord. Alas, that didn't happen. So we will see how Discord will turn out once they become IPO. It seems more uncertain than being purchased by Microsoft.1 point -

KB5001391 Cumulative Update in Windows 10 Release Preview resulting in bugchecks [Update]
wingliston reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
It is crap and unstable, even in the Dev Preview. There is a ton of bugs on this, and Microsoft stopped listening for whatever ######ing reason. Imagine a feature, that only shows or works when the taskbar is in the bottom of the screen position. Sizing you say? Even when on the top and sizing has no relevance, the feature is not available and doesn't work. I guess changing the popup coordinates to the top of the screen is too hard for the idiot doing this project. Even better, moving the taskbar from the bottom to the top and back again will often break and disable the feature forever. Whoever is leading this crap project has lost their mind. (Context: As a developer, take 5-10 minutes to mock up a newsfeed that also updates weather and writes the state for a simple code loop to write it on the Explorer Taskbar. The code should be under 50 lines for the Taskbar integration. Yet this is a buggy code mess, that one member of my former team could solve in a couple of hours or I would have fired them.)

Apps are one thing, but Windows Store right now just does not work properly 75% of the time. Also MS needs to get their apps there. Office Enterprise, Edgium, VSCode, MS Authenticator for Windows desktop etc If it got integrated with Winget for WIN32 apps (something like ChocolateyGUI is for Chocolatey) that would be perfect (of course show package with author's permission) Totally. Addressed all of those apps in my video. Pretty confusing that they own the apps and store....and they are absent. I just had a thought. Imagine if Windows Store could integrate Github releases as well O.o I mean Microsoft owns Github1 point -
