    Are you 100% sure?  If answer is YES then you are an idiot too.

    I just have proofs that M$ collect personal data. And worst- they sell that data...

    Recently I build new rig, install W10, create M$ account with 100% fake information (let say it's "user X"), than install and register needed software (with same "user X") and start using it mainly for browsing and other simple tasks. On this PC never, NEVER was used Gmail (don't even have a youtube profile) but I receive mails like "Dear "user X", it seems that you are using old version of our software- will you consider upgrading your programs to last version?" in MY Gmail account? 

    Try to explain me how the fuck someone connects new hardware/software owned by "X" who never, repeat- NEVER uses Gmail  with my  Gmail account? There are ONLY ONE thing in common- my IP address.

    There are no problem if someone knows that I own 5 PC's, but to make connection like that you need to know too many personal things... OK, we don't care about what M$ collects and believe them- just like you... But they SELL your data to others- can you believe THEM? 

    Windows and Changing Platforms

    So, I'm switching platforms. AM3+ to LGA 1150. My question is "do I need to reinstall Windows 10 with a platform change?" My guess is that it'll be like everybody else's upgrade, where you need to re-activate after a hardware upgrade (Thanks, Microassholes!) Their suggested way of doing so is installing an old version of Windows, then doing the free upgrade again. Is that the only way?

    Of course NOT.  You can change your mobo and so on- just use you current SSD (or HDD) with already installed W10. You'll need to change all drivers and you'll have to activate your W10 again- that's it, you DON'T need to install older Windows and upgrade... 

     

    But it's preferably to do a clean install of W10...

    Yes, it's expensive as hell, and even if it was a penny I wouldn't throw it away at the behest of some random forum goblin, who by the way can make themselves comfortable on my ignore list

    It's sad to be right - you are fucking liar. And believe me, I don't give a fuck about your list...

     

    PS: If you don't have unlimited data plan (or at least data cap is over 50 gigs) there are not even 1 reason to use 4G. 

     

    What windows for low end laptop?

    in Windows

    or turn off the bloatware and LITERALLY cut your resource usage in half with windows 10 compared to windows 7

    Seriously? Are you ready to bet €5000 on your words? I'll provide an low end laptop + 2 ssd- on one you'll install and optimize Win 10 Pro, on another I'll install and optimize Win 7 Ultimate (yes, Ultimate on low end laptop). If you manage to cut in half  resource usage I'll give you €5 000... But lets make it interesting with 5:1 bet- if you win I'll pay you €25 000... 

    Next week I'll be in Austria and it's not problem to visit Belgium for a day- just give me an address and you'll have a chance to get nice amount of money for literally 3 hours... 

    PC problem

    Roughly said- Windows in idle uses 15-20% of ram. More ram- more usage. If in some moment you have shortage of ram Windows will release some of these 7gigs, but with 64gigs this won't happens...

     

    And it's good idea everyone to remember something- used ram is useful ram, empty ram is useless ram. In fact ram is fastest way to access something- I bet that with 7gigs used in idle PC runs very fast... Problem is ram management, not ram usage.

    how long until DX12 becomes the norm ?

    ON second thought, it's possible DX12 won't even be the next one. Maybe Vulkan is the next one...

    Could be Vulkan, could be something else- who knows... For me DX12 is just another nice, but not necessary thing. Such as 144Hz monitors- they are better than 120Hz, but 90% of users can't find the difference between 120 and 144Hz... 

    How to use an SSD

    in Storage Devices

    Posted

    ... The vast majority of people buy an SSD to put the OS on it (involving a clean install).

    And this is the rightly thing to do... Only idiot will use an SSD for storage (games, programs, other shits) and keep OS installed on old HDD...
