"Hey Cortana, wake up my PC!" A possibility with Intel Skylake CPUs

[AlwaysFSX]

my cats sleep on my keyboard...

Smack your keyboard with your cat or the other way around. Still wake up the computer.

the cats wake it up for me and then it starts folding, the room gets hotter than satan's butthole, so I just disabled the kb and mouse from waking up the pc

Could just disable your cat from the computer..

how many people have actually upgraded to windows 10 and how many use cortana 

 

Upgraded to Windows 10, can't use Cortana yet as not available in Canada yet.

one does not simply disable a cat from a computer. And its lots easier just telling the pc to ignore keyboard when sleeping

Upgraded: yes

Cortana: no

Windows broke my mic.

maybe one day I can wake it up by giving it my DNA sample and donating my sperm for it to build a clone army

 

How can you give your sperm... the computer is sleeping. That means no p0rn !!1! 

 

My computer is connected to my TV so I wouldn't mind if I could wake it up (it's actually on 24/7), or launch things like Plex, games or whatever.

True..

ive seen this before somewhere. oh right, her.

[xXChaoticSymphonyXx]

And here I was just thinking how inconvenient it was to jiggle the mouse for a moment, and that I'd much rather shout at my PC like a lunatic. Intel delivers.

 

 

 Now there's a computer built just for me ... 

[flibberdipper]

Yeah... I'll just be sticking to 8.1 Pro on my rig, 7 Pro on my laptop, and XP Home Premium on older stuff (and then the random 98SE).

[monaka25]

        I think I'm good with just slapping my keyboard like it isn't my  business to wake my pc up

[GoodBytes]

Aha! Clever. By using age old Windows, like Windows 3.1 or Windows 9x, you avoid all security problems as you are no longer the target.

That is like me, where I put my password to be "password". It is so idiotic, no one would think of trying that. Even saying it now, no one will try, as no one would even believe to be even true.

Aha! Cleaver. By using age old Windows, like WIndows 3.1 or Windows 9x, you avoid all security problems as you are no longer the target.

Psh, isn't it obvious? For MAXIMUM PROTECTION, I even use tin foil on my all my cables! Even my sound card has a nice plating of it. It's like a computer condom, nothing in nothing out.

ground the tinfoil and it makes a huge difference with noise if the cables are near other cables

"security through obscurity"

I cant believe people on a tech forum circle jerk over the fact its sending data to MS. Because all of us know that they have both the resources and reason to sift through all of that data and look at your passwords and shit.  and for every user of their OS they have a tech that listens to what they tell cortana 24/7. The tinfoil hattery is over 9000 here suddenly...

Why didn't I think of this before?!?!?!? I MUST GO ENHANCE MY COMPUTER CONDOM.

Don't forget, they track your mouse movement. Dunno what you can interpret from that data but they do!  :rolleyes:

[JoshB2084]

I don't have mic and webcam on my computer. No worries for me.  

[iamdarkyoshi]

Ahem.

LOL

I did this with my amps that are prone to hissing and buzzing (PC controls volume, amp has fixed gain) and it nearly eliminated the issue

oh well. draw dicks, to entertain your personal MS employed spy, if that floats your goat

Do goats float..? I bet Microsoft knows the truth on that..
