64% on Freecell

How can you be less than 100% on Freecell? Especially since modern versions allow you to undo (something that cheapens it immensely if you ask me).

I mean sure, sometimes you got to get off the computer in a hurry but...

Edit:

Old thread is old.

But solitaire hasn't changed much making this thread just about as relevant as it ever was.

i use to play "speed solitaire" against a friend a few years back. we would both try to beat a game of solitaire as fast as we possibly could then send the screen shots to each other challenging the other to do better. i got 38 seconds and he finally just gave up because he couldn't beat it and i couldn't do any better.

I recently started playing Solitaire in Vista, I'm playing with 1 card draw and my percentage is 33%

I was wondering, what are you results?

My win percentage on that is horrible.. something like 7% :p

I swear, Windows vista/7 cheats!

The secret to winning a lot of games in Solitaire (Vista version), is to flip through the new games until you find a game that has and ace and two different cards that you can play. For example: and ace, a seven on an eight and a jack on a queen, or any other variation. It really works. I haven't figured out how to win each time, but my average winning percent is 84.5% after playing 2,713 games! Just make sure not to get too low of a card like a 2 or 3, or a king and queen. If you stay in the middle, you will have the best luck. Forget about a new game with 3 aces, it just looks good, but you usually lose. It really doesn't matter what cards you match, just as long as they are between Queen and 3-4. Again, you HAVE to have an ace and two sets of matching cards only. Good luck! Try it. You sometimes need to go through 10-20 games to find the right one. I always use the ?draw 3? mode, but toggle to single mode by pressing the ctrl+alt+shft keys. You can backup by pressing the ctrl+z keys. I don?t know how to post a screen shot of my statistics. Someone let me know how to do it. I will post a screen shot of my stats. I have played 2,713 games and won 2284. It's a waste of time for me to just play any game. This makes it a lot more fun. My winning percentage (f4) would be higher, if my kids weren't playing solitaire and if I was a bit more carefull.

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
