How to block KB5001330 Patch Tuesday update affecting game performance [Update]
Mateus and 7 others reacted to Neonix1 for a topic
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 -

Do you want to know what Vulcan is, or how it makes Blender tick? In the latter, more or less like OpenGL, DirectX or Metal works. Vulcan's main pro is multi-platform, unlike the previous.

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 -

Samsung's recycling program took in just 0.0019% of old phones since 2015
matthiew reacted to dead.cell for a topic
Honestly, even when they did, it was kinda whack. Friend of mine sent his off to Samsung for what should've been a $150 return on it... Think they ended up giving him $50 for it because they claimed the screen had a pink line going down the center of it, which it didn't when he had it. ...which you'd think would be their fault, but I guess they're under the guise that because my friend used it, it's his fault somehow. Completely bogus. Haha the pink line thing was their fault I think it affected the Galaxy S7 series of phones and they had to honor a lot of returns and repairs. But yeah trade-ins to phone manufacturers or cell providers where you have to send off and hope for the best are dodgy. I much rather rely on 2nd hand trade in like rebuy (who have a reputation to uphold and worry about) or on local type eBay and then come pick it up, see it working kind of deal, cash in hand. lmao you're so on point. It was an S7 Edge that was being upgraded to a Note8 or 9 I think. Good call.1 point -

shockz reacted to adrynalyne for a topic
Professionalism isn’t really something the kernel developers go for. Look at the kind of outbursts Linus himself has had. There are two kinds of engineers. One of them listen to the others, help all suggestions and is kind to the group and care about the feeling of others, i.e. the perfect yes-men. While the other group is the engineer is who get the sh*t done. One of them is called a good engineer while the other is called toxic, but commonly, also a rockstar and earn the double than the first one. Yeah...that’s not a thing.1 point -
KB5001391 Cumulative Update in Windows 10 Release Preview resulting in bugchecks [Update]
wingliston reacted to adrynalyne for a topic
How do you figure? You can prevent cumulative updates from being installed by using a group policy on Windows 10 Professional. Windows 10 Professional for Workstations is just a waste of money (it has the same group policy limitations as Windows 10 Professional by the way). Well...I don't get games preinstalled. I don't get the settings "enhancement" preinstalled, I don't get the Meet thing installed and now, I don't get the news thing. I set no group policy, I made no custom installation, and I didn't pay for it, yet have it legally. That's how I "figure". Not sure why I am being asked that though, since I was describing my own experience. You do you, I am not telling anyone what they should or should not purchase.1 point -

Are you going to give a few weeks to see whether you like the re-design after using it for a bit? I have been using proton for months now. I tried to create my own userChrome script to make it look much as Quantum, but its too much of a hassle. I just gave up and switching to Edge. lol people say this stuff every time the theme changes. Last time it was BECAUSE of the proton theme, now it's because the proton theme is gone.1 point
