  1. Yeah, I'm expecting the same thing. Unfortunately, NVIDIA and AMD still have to code drivers for Vulkan, so the quality of the games will still depend on the quality of the drivers.
  2. I was using Ubuntu the other day, configured it for SLI, and got this problem: So this got me thinking, could Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors, seen here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/xeon/xeon-phi-detail.html Act as substitutes for high-end graphics cards or multi-GPU setups? Because, as of right now, support for high-end graphics setups on Linux systems seems pretty dismal.
  3. Oh, okay. Thanks. Hm, well that's weird. I just turned mine off, flipped the switch on the power supply, unplugged it, and waited for all the lights to turn off. Then I turned it back on and the uptime was normal. But maybe it was just a coincidence.
  4. Hi everyone, I've only been having this issue for about two to three days, and it's occurred on both my desktop and my laptop. On both of those computer's I recently installed a new copy of Windows 10. Background information: Laptop: Dell XPS 13 9343, Microsoft WIndows 10 Pro Desktop: OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Processor: Intel 97-4790K @ 4.00GHz GPUs: 2 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Motherboard is ASUS (not a high-end one, I forget since it was a replacement motherboard for a broken mobo) What happened: I first noticed it on my laptop. I woke up one morning and saw that the uptime was about 24 hours, despite having shut it down multiple times since then (not putting it to sleep—fully shutting it down). After installing the chipset drivers and everything, it still didn't work. So, I've just resorted to calling shutdown /s From the command line, which seems to resolve the issue. After a day or two, I checked the uptime on my desktop since, when logging on, an explorer window was open already for some reason. I saw that my computer had been running for two days straight (despite having shut it down multiple times). An image is attached. The shutdown /s command also works in totally shutting off the computer. I installed Windows 10 on both computers via the same USB using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. Does anybody know what the problem could be?
  5. What the FBI did is justifiable according to the most recent precedent set forth by Jacobson v. United States (1992). In Jacobson v. United States, Jacobson was sent child pornography by postal service investigators, and the investigators were not charged with entrapment. He was convicted at first, but appealed, and the supreme court overturned the conviction not on the grounds of entrapment, but not on the grounds that Jacobson hadn't shown any earlier interest in consuming child pornography and therefore would likely not have done so had he not received mail from the investigators. This means that undercover investigations like this are perfectly legal. So, if sending someone child pornography in order to encourage them to seek out more is legal, then not sending out anything and merely waiting for people to access the content you're hosting is certainly consistent with the law. But each judge interprets case precedent differently, so we'll see how the c. 1,300 accused will do in their trials.
  6. You still have the time to get whatever you need. The only thing that will have changed is that the operating system will have booted up by the time you get back
  7. You're telling me you want the slow read and write speeds?
  8. Wikimedia must have seen the failure that was Bing and believed that they could do better—otherwise they wouldn't develop their own. They at least believe that they'll have an edge over Google in some way. I could imagine one of those edges being a better privacy policy since Google essentially sells your information to advertisers. Regardless of what the edge is, whether it's enough to break people off from Google remains to be seen. Declaring it a flop is being premature.
  9. That's a shame. I love their photo viewer.
