    lightningterror reacted to LAwLz in Windows 7 update broken on some systems   
    Considering how inconsistent and rare that is, it's not much of a benefit.
     
    [Citation Needed]
    All benchmarks I've seen shows Windows 7 and Windows 10 performing within margin of error.
     
    Not relevant to people like me who gives 0 cares about UWP.
    Actually, I'd say UWP is a downside because I am strictly against it and everything it stands for. I want it to die.
     
    Virtual desktops was one of those things that sounded cool but turned out to be fairly useless, at least to me.
    I've never seen anyone use it. 
     
    I'm not saying that the things you listed aren't valid reasons why some people would like to use Windows 10, but a lot of people don't care about the things you listed. Different people care about different things. Windows 10 certainly has some major drawbacks, such as the long list of ads I listed earlier in the thread. To someone who doesn't care about for example virtual desktops there might be little or no reason for them to upgrade to Windows 10.
    If it offers nothing appealing, and a lot of annoying things like ads then I think it's perfectly logical and acceptable to not want to install Windows 10.
     
    If I told you Ubuntu now comes with LibreOffice installed by default, would you go "oh boy, I better uninstall Windows 10 and start using Ubuntu exclusively instead!"? No? Why not? Maybe because the benefit of having LibreOffice preinstalled isn't a big enough appeal to you to make it worth the drawbacks?
    Same thing with Windows 7 -> Windows 10.
     
    If Microsoft had done what I suggested, actually make an OS that is unarguably the same or better in every single aspect, then you'd have a point. But that's not what they were interested in doing.

    Please rename the topic. It's clickbait and misleading.
     
    There is a difference between sell and lose.

    lightningterror reacted to TetraSky in YouTube adds "Breaking News" section to homepage   
    Not seeing it on the Desktop side of things. I'm assuming it's a US only thing?
    Then again, who uses the homepage of youtube, other than people who aren't signed in? It literally doesn't even show the latest videos. It shows me the videos that were uploaded days, months, if not years ago. It's useless as a homepage.

    lightningterror got a reaction from Morgan MLGman in AMD Preparing Crimson ReLive Driver Update - Comes with ShadowPlay Alternative   
    The issue was I had msi afterburner running when resuming from sleep. Other than that using msi afterburner at all (changing any value) results in a black screen.

    lightningterror reacted to LAwLz in Most Game developers are sexist? Apparently yes.....   
    What the fuck is wrong with Anita? You might read this and think "oh this is terrible, only 9% of games contain a female protagonist!?" and then if you look more into it you realize that she is complaining about games not solely having a female protagonist. Sure, only 2 of the games forced you to play as a woman. However, if you include all the games that allows you to play as either a guy or a girl, and also add in games where the protagonist is genderless, you find that the number of female protagonists shoots up to 59%.
     
    "Baww only 59% of games at E3 appealed to me since I am incapable of playing a game that has a protagonist of the opposite gender bawww".
     
    How can you think giving users the option to play as a male or female character is a bad thing? Oh right, feminism isn't about equality anymore. It's about man hating. Fuck giving users choice and appealing to everyone. It should be women only.
     
    I think the problem is that for some people (read: feminazis), their gender is their entire identity. They live, breath and eat to be women. Therefore they can in no way relate to anything that isn't female.

    lightningterror got a reaction from 7850OC in Mirror's Edge Catalyst - New Release Date , System Requirements and more   
    RELEASE DATE:
    Well looks like Mirror's Edge Catalyst release date has been changed from May 24th to June 7th (NA) and June 9th (EU). 
    Personally I think this is a good idea. The devs will polish the game a bit more and won't see another game launch.

    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
    System requirements have also been released.
     
    MINIMUM:
    OS: Windows® 7 64-Bit (use the latest Service Pack)
    CPU: Intel i3-3250 / AMD FX-6350. (Note: Mirror's Edge Catalyst requires at least 4 logical cores to run.)
    RAM: 6 GB
    HARD DRIVE: At least 25 GB of free space
    VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 650 Ti 2GB or better / AMD Radeon™ R9 270x or better
    INPUT: Keyboard and mouse, dual analog controller
     

    RECOMMENDED:
    OS: Windows® 10 64-Bit (use the latest Service Pack)
    CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 at 3.4 GHz / AMD FX-8350 at 4.0 GHz
    RAM: 16 GB
    HARD DRIVE: At least 25 GB of free space
    VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 970 4GB or better / AMD Radeon™ R9 280x 3GB or better
    INPUT: Keyboard and mouse, dual analog controller
     
    So far the requirements are not to shabby except for the ram. Going from 6GB Minimum to 16GB Recommended. Looks like more and more games require 16GB however I wonder if it will actually use that much.

    And the root cause is Linus himself who stopped making sensible and educational videos and went to putting snoopies in PCs for shits and giggles. Expecting there to be T&A on LMG soon.... just to pander to the children watching it (mostly teens in puberty). I wish he's go back to the way he was on NCIX all those years ago and actually teach the viewer something
