Low and behold, I've been sent yet another X1 beta code. This time though, I'm looking for some entertainment. So, send me your best tech related jokes and I'll give whoever makes me laugh the hardest during my Sunday hangover pain will be crowned the winner! GO, BE FUNNY!!!

 

Edit: Quote this comment when replying so I don't have to look through the whole thread, I'm lazy like that! 

Well I played my first game on the X1, I thought the graphics looked and played great, better than how BF4 looks which I still thinks looks good, as for titanfall I am crap at it but will be buying it for sure and so glad I bought an X1 now the filter has been removed improving the visuals a lot.

I got a chance to check it out a few hours ago thanks to thechronic hooking me up with a code, still never received one for signing up, and I am glad I did get to briefly check it out, as I think I will be skipping it. Just not my cup of tea at the end of the day. Just seems all over the place and a tad too chaotic. Ironically I really loved the movement of things during the tutorial, but once I checked the game out, did not think it really translated to the actual matches well. Just turned into your typical MP FPS. I barely saw any people wall running in the game, and whenever I tried to do so, it really did nothing to actually enhance things as it could and should. Maybe it was just the matches I played, and others are playing the game using the new features that supposedly separate it from other FPS's, but based on what I have seen, do not think I will be taking that $60 plunge to find out. 

 

I made the extra effort to play it like the tutorial teaches you and it really doesn't add anything to it. This game has been hyped out to be something it's not. It really is just another run and gun, but it just so happens to have mechs and some parkour thrown in. It's definitely a competent shooter in it's own right, it doesn't come across "messy" or anything. It's just....meh :/ Definitely not worth the 5 years of development anyway. How they couldn't even come up with an SP in that time to really showcase the game is a little bewildering. And 100% not worth the asking price :no:

Yeah I had hopes for this, but I think I'll pass until its on sale for a significant discount.

    • Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
