    But you put your location info on a public forum and also have your name at the bottom of every post? ?

    I still prefer the third option despite it being dead

    Barnack reacted to Crossbred in Working on a desk case concept   
    Given that 1 sounds like as much as a fire hazard as Chernobyl, I'd go with 2. Only because I've had a psu catch fire on me in the past and if I hadn't unplugged it I'd probably be homeless rn.

    Barnack reacted to WereCatf in Capping overall CPU usage   
    Well, I ain't got any FX-processors, so I don't really know why the setting is being ignored. Maybe someone else could chime in.

    That's a different problem. Try some other program, like e.g. cpu-z to see if it reports the correct change or not.

    I see around lots and lots of cygwin, "which os whould i use, i need both" and bla bla bla, and it seemed to me like the entire world is not acknowledging that awesome feature Windows 10 gives everyone access too: Windows Subsystem for Linux. Why doesn't Linus do a youtube video about that, so people will know?
    You can run natively on Windows most of linux software without virtualization or reboot, it's just awesome!

    While this is a very cool feature, it wouldn't really reach most of LTT's audience. The very large majority of LTT's audience doesn't give a shit about linux if it doesn't involve gaming. Hell, I'd say that the very large majority of LTT's audience doesn't know their way around a bash shell. 
     
    I think the video would be really short. Like "hey look you can run linux in windows and it's super easy to setup."

    for anything that does not require a gui it's actually amazingly stable, and compared to a vm it directly uses the needed resources from your system, no need to cut out more system resources than you'd actually need and keep them locked until you close the vm

    If you're just a beginner you should start with premade engines, like Unity and Game Maker (the former is better for 3d, the latter for 2d, although both can do both)
    Unity lets you code in C# if i remember correctly, Game Maker uses it's own gml language which still has C-like syntax as C, C++, C#, Java...
     
    If you wat to code the game from the ground up, then you could check C++ with SFML; it's amazing for 2d, portable and, like game maker while being based on 2d it still allows 3d
     
    https://www.sfml-dev.org/

    That said, if you never programmed before, i heavily suggest you to stick to unity or game maker
     
    Python is a good programming language, it's just not best suited for games. Most games skeleton consist in C/C++ code for a good reason

    To me it sounded like as if you're about to code the explanation to him, just for that reason I will do it.
    String prefs;public static void main(String[] args){prefs = System.getProperty("user.keyboardprefs");System.out.println(prefs.toString()+" is better");}

    i've not done any test with performance profiling purpose, all i can say is if you're programming a non-graphical program for linux targets and your main os is windows it beats BY FAR emulation. You don't have to launch a whole other OS, in case you're on a laptop you don't have to run a battery killing VM. You just run the linux task you need on top on Windows. There are many ways in which that beats a VM.

    While it probably doesn't offer any more effective protection, I run my daily as a Standard user. This forces me to input the admin password if something needs elevation every time. So I actually have to think about accepting a random UAC prompt.

    I would recommending using something else to test so that you know what behaviour to expect.  Perhaps notepad.exe?
