    That could actually mean there are more people in the security team for finding vulnerabilities, which would be reasonable, still better than if someone else or hackers finds out by themselves

    Also, the graph has issues.
    Windows 7 and Vista should be together as Windows 7 was mostly polishing Vista interface, and a few new features here and there which many of them if not all, doesn't affect security, and the removal of Vista Gadgets which was found to be a big security issue.
    Windows 8 has much less users, so you have less attention by security experts.
     
    Another thing to consider, is that security issues can date back to older version of Windows, so how where do they position the security flaw? In this situation, do they mark it on current version of Windows even though it might work for Windows XP (for example), or they mark it for the first version of Windows with the security flaw.

    Well... it is compared to other versions of Windows

    it's not comforting though...

    Not really anonymous. It's from SandboxEscaper who has done similar things in the past. It's a very troubled individual which basically hates western counties and have several exploits up for sale, but only to "enemies of the us".

    Chunchunmaru_ reacted to TrigrH in [PC] Borderlands 2 Help   
    Borderlands 2 solo is quite easy, let me give you some key points of information:
    Level is everything, if the enemies are more then 2 levels higher than you, you're fucked. Do side quests to get your level above the enemy if your are struggling.
    Focus lower capacity and faster charging shields, so you can use cover to regen at mitigate damage.
    Keep swapping to more and more powerful weapons.
     
    If all the above fails, send me your sav file and I can change the class and skills so you don't need to make a new character.

    I wanted to point out this bit (and speaking in general). People seem to forget that turbo clocks aren't supposed to be guaranteed, but base clocks should be. If the computer can't maintain base clocks, then we have a problem.

    if by that you mean an hardware encoder, OBS with nvenc is pretty enough, or you can use the vaapi backend on amd

    My guess is they use porting layers from DirectX to OpenGL which could increase the overall hardware requirements

    BTW I recently run into something similar, strangely it happened only with my USB 3.0 drive being used as the main OS partition, and only with the proprietary driver installed

    Anyway, as I said try what I said here
    Remember to press ESC as soon as possible, this should immediately show a verbose output, try also to remove "quiet" and "splash" parameters, if it still doesn't work

    We should all remember that Microsoft are in fact convicted criminals who has at several points in the past been brought to court for things such as EEE and been found guilty. 
     
    I wouldn't really say this is fear mongering as much as it is being cautious and reminding people about Microsoft's history.

    You're assuming that they actually make changes (extensions) to improve their product. However, several times in the past it has been the case where changes were done for the sole purpose of making things more difficult for competitors.
     
    I am all for competition, but EEE has in the past been more about making competing solutions worse rather than improving one's own product. When that happens, it's bad.
     
    And you also have to think of interoperability, which is a very valuable asset. Even if for example J/Direct (one of Microsoft's attempts at EEE) had offered some benefit over JNI, the pros of that approach (I don't think there were any) should have been weighted against the drawback (it ruined cross compatibility, which was the entire point of Java).
     
    And if you try to argue that Microsoft just tried to improve Java, please keep in mind that J++ (Microsoft's now discontinued version of Java for Windows) actually had fewer features than the one offered by Sun.
    Microsoft went "oh you want to use that feature? Sorry but that doesn't work on Windows" and as a result, programs which ran on things like GNU/Linux and MacOS would not work on Windows. And because of that people stopped using those functions even though they were useful.

    It's entirely possible to do EEE even though something is open source.
     
    That's because open source doesn't offer any protection from EEE. And don't call it "fear mongering" when it has happened over, and over in history. Hell it's still happening these days. If you want a real world example of this look no further than Google and web standards.
     
    KHTML, the browser engine developed by the KDE project, was and still is open source and forked over to WebKit by Apple, which kept it open source.
    WebKit was then forked to Blink by Google, and it is open source.
     
    It's open source all the way through. Yet here we are, with Google creating their own web standards and protocols which can negatively impact other browsers.
     
    I am sure even folks over at Microsoft would agree that what Google is doing with the web is a form of EEE, despite all of it being open source.
     
     
     
     
    I don't see why they would need to do a custom Kernel for that to work though. That should be handled through Kernel modules. But maybe that is what they mean by "custom Kernel". I guess it remains to be seen. I am skeptical though.
     
     
    WinAPI is alive and well, and will most likely be the primary tool for a majority of Windows developers for years to come. Microsoft are still introducing new features to it.

    Then they want to use Windows. I know that many people wrongly assume that Windows was a bad thing to use. Using Windows applications is not really better on any other OS.

    That's a dual core CPU. Video encoding relies heavily on CPU and multicore performance.
     
    How much would the i7 6700 + Hyper 212 Black edition cost? You would probably be able to buy a Ryzen 1700 + new motherboard for less. The Ryzen would be the better buy as well as you would be able to overclock the CPU and you would have more CPUs to upgrade with later on if you wanted to. Also 8 cores 16 threads which will help a lot with video editing.

    It's not actually the IF that is slow or causing the latency increase it's the communication path and load/store steps when you go across CCXs. There is no direct path between cores on one CCX to another, it goes through L3 cache and that requires clock cycles to load and complete and then also access which is why there is such a huge jump from intra-CCX to inter-CCX latency.
     
    But it's not that bad nor necessarily the root cause of low gaming performance as current Intel HEDT processors use Mesh and that has double the latency of Ring, CCX to CCX is another 60% on top of that so there is still a significant difference. The difference between Ring and Mesh isn't that big even though there is twice the latency, there is a difference but much of that is clocks.
