I know lots of people would love to be able to use this tool to measure the performance of their systems and upload those results to a public database. My question is, what is the plan for validating the results, or that the project executable wasn't tampered with? I figure there would need to be some validation steps either locally or on the remote machine where the database is (assuming that there will be a public one at all) would be needed - any ideas so far?

NTFS has snapshots with VSS, and compression and dedup. How big are you pools, multiple double parity is probably plenty.
 
You can set reboot times as needed. There are a good amount of settings for updates so this won't be a issues.
 
Performance is fine in both for a home user, both with easily fill 100gbe if needed.
 
Windows also does this well. And shares are easy to setup permissions too.
 
Really id give storage spaces a shot, should work well here, and will give you better performance, and many fewer issues than running a vm with passthrough.

I'm sorry, but quantum computers won't do much in general computing. Please read something about how quantum computers work, how they differ from binary computers and why there's nothing to gain with classic binary computing tasks. Quantum computers just to run Crisis, Fortnite or Word is absolute nonsense.

The Unreal Engine YouTube channel has a ton of playlists for tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/user/UnrealDevelopmentKit/playlists

Other than that, the only thing I'd recommend is learning C++ which is used by UE and allows for more robust and manual configuration of the game you'd be developing. The best part is that in UE4 when you choose to use the C++ build method, they still allow you to create blueprints normally and then modify their code on your own if need be.

The reality is that 2 things need to happen.
 
1. We need to rip off the band-aid that is x86 and basically allow for old programs to no longer be able to physically run on our systems without literal x86 emulation. Basically I'm saying we need to kill x86-64. It's fundamentally a tired, stretched thin architecture from the late 70's. 64bit extension from AMD was a band-aid on the band-aid.
 
2. We need to start the graphene meme, Or at least move away from traditional doped silicon. Chiplets and such are a band-aid to basically cope with the sheer horror that is making huge dies at nodes so small that we're literally bumping into quantum physical barriers.

Thanks, I like this approach.

Most apps that have an automatic updater usually have a separate app built for the updating process. This update app would compare the installed version to the newest one available, and if there was an update it would close out the app in question, download the newest version, overwrite the current files with the newer ones, then restart that app.

If it's in Python, you would write a Python script to be called when the user checks for an update, which would kill the original app and do as I described above.

You will most definitely have latency issues by trying to use a PC remotely. No matter what you do, you are adding time between your inputs to the PC and delay to what you see. If it takes even 5ms for your input to be sent and another 5ms to receive it, that's 10ms delay, and that would be with an amazing connection between both PC's.
 
That being said, these are the two remote desktop apps that I've used and how their fair:
Chrome Remote Desktop: Free, and it only requires that both PC's have Google Chrome and the Google Chrome Remote Desktop app installed. The problem is that it definitely adds some lag to the connection, even when using ethernet cables between two PC's a few feet from one another. Real VNC: Is much faster than the above option, and also requires both PC's to have the app installed. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I believe it costs money to connect two PC's when using the desktop app on both machines, but it's free if one of the machines uses the mobile app (android/iOS device, possibly also on ChromeBooks).

Some friend in a small shop ran my PC on some company-owned software and my PC is neat, it has no problem what so ever. The weird thing is that my PC still experience the "glitches"... Don't know what to do. Thanks for all the help @HunterAP Really appreciated.

So I wanted to report on my experience with my situation:
The system in question was originally using a Z170 mobo and an i7-6700K. Windows 10 Pro was installed on that system directly, and the key was used on it when it was built. The new system is an X470 mobo with an R7 2700X. Initially, there were some driver issues (such as my GTX 1080 having lots of drivers crashes, which were fixed after using DDU in Safe Mode and then installing the newest drivers manually). Other things that needed to be fixed were the removal of old drivers from the previous board (Intel HAXM, any mention of the 6700K in Device Manager -> Processors, etc), and running an "SFC /scannow" in an admin console to make sure Windows was working properly. Any other issue I've had was due to CPU and memory overclocking, and it seems that I now have 0 issues to speak of.
 
"Re-activation" was super easy: I signed into my MS account as normal on boot, then Windows prompted me to confirm that I did indeed move my drive to a new system, and that was it.
 
Thank you all for the answers that helped me decide not to do a complete clean reinstall of Win 10, it saved me hours of problems and all I really needed to do was some manual cleaning post-switch.

I recently ran into a similar issue with my R7 2700X on an x470 board, my fix was to enable Precision Boost in the BIOS and remove any manual overclocking, then in Ryzen Master I set the Control Mode to "Auto" and then manually entered 1600 in the Memory Control section (DDR is basically 2x the speed you set, so 1600 x 2 = 3200). I rebooted and my 2700x is now auto-overclocking itself to the highest it can (at least based on the Precision Boost algorithm) and my memory successfully hits 3200MHz.

Prior to this, my memory also caused system instability and BSOD's when I manually set the memory speed to 3200MHz through either the memory speed multiplier or the XMP profile presets.

I can't seem to find anything online of the menus in your specific BIOS menus, so unfortunately you'll have to manually go through every option in the BIOS.
If it's not there then maybe someone else can point you in the right direction.

If you have the manual for the mobo, see if it points you to where it's located in the BIOS.
Otherwise you'll have to go through pretty much every option. I'd keep searching in the "Peripherals" tab.

Went to Peripherals -> AMD CBS -> NBIO Common Options -> and... There's only cTDP Control, Processor Temperature Control and Mode0
 
@HunterAP
It seems like a manual overclock @ 3.7GHz, 1.35V allows the ram to clock at 3200MHz... I game-test my PC for 1 hour up to now, seems like it's working...
Tried 3.9GHz w/ 1.4V, even though my PC gained much performance, it became much more unstable.
 
Been playing for 3 hours straight and my PC seems much more stable than before, I will let you know if something ever happens.

99% of the time, if you're having issues with GPU drivers or GPU driver-related programs, you should use DDU in safe mode to cleanly uninstall your current drivers + software -> reboot -> then install the newest versions -> reboot again.

If the issue still persists, THEN it's a real problem.

If you go to PCPartPicker and browse for a specific item, you can have the site send you an email notification of that product falls below a price you set.

The test app uses .NET Framework, and the patch required for it is not out yet, so for now I can't test it.
.NET Core should be fixed with version 2.0.3, although I haven't tested it.
 
I'm going to keep checking on the .NET Framework updates to see if they do backport a fix for this, but for now I guess I can't test for a solution.

Not really a complete idea, but I wouldn't bother scraping the text and what not for the repo, its a big mess and I'd say too much work.
 
If you append ".atom" to the end of the Github URLs you care about (ie https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3-binaries-win/releases.atom) you get an RSS feed for the releases of that repo.
 
It would then be a case of:
It looks like RPCS3 deletes old releases and stuck all releases up in one block randomly. So use an RSS library to get all the RSS items into a list, and find the highest version entry there. (Ie compare the versions and take the highest) From there, you can get the link to a download page from the RSS entry. Parse the download link for the tag id (ie https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3-binaries-win/releases/tag/build-fb20c27e7b40a5209dc54c340e5daf32df67a82d transformed to fb20c27e). Use that tag id and the link to get the full download link. A download link is the link from before, followed by "rpcs3-",  the version number, the tag ID you just generated, and finally "_win64.7z". You can see that by just hovering over a download link. Using the full download link, download and save the file. You can find loads about doing that in python online. Shouldn't be too hard I don't think. You'd probably want to add in some checks too, like check if you already have a version downloaded by checking what files you have in your download folder etc.

He's trying to say that everyone should start with C++ and everyone should be capable of doing that without getting discouraged just because he was able to do it. At the same time, he also contradicted himself.
