I don't recall ever encountering ASUS fans like there are Apple fans. I believe ASUS products keep selling because they keep hitting a sweet spot in the market. I always buy products based on price and features, and ASUS is always a top contender. You have to be an anti fan to completely avoid...

So what are you aiming to say? That it's a fake option in rufus? The TPM requirement is certainly not fake so IDK why would you bring that up as a way to bagatellize rufus.

Except Starfield sales weren't just cannibalized by games pass, but generally unfavorable reviews. They also might publicly say that while not taking it into account for internal decision making. These companies have too much of a yes man culture.

So why does rufus have a hack to disable it if it's not happening?

This is another attack that requires the attacker to have access to the victim's local network. Why do the always have to do this? Make you shit your pants and then you have to read 3/4th through the article to realize it is not as bad as they made it sound.

Your need to deny it when the comment wasn't even aimed at anyone in particular says otherwise :p

So where are those guys now who insist we shouldn't complain about anything, just shut up and consume? I'm hoping you join the "raging nerds" and start speaking up about problems from now on.

Copilot for those too lazy to click on search results. Also I'm pretty sure 5.25% is above 5%. You can never trust generative AI. MS has an entire department dedicated to using AI responsibly yet they have no problem rolling it out to tasks like this where it can easily make up fake news.

I don't believe anyone is actually bothered by his jacket, it's just fun to make fun of. Those who comment on his jacket however do live rent free in the heads of people who are offended by said jacket comments.

It affects W11 too. They just don't want to take responsibiilty for their F up. It's far easier to tell users you are on your own, risk is yours, than releasing a fix that might cause data loss. I bet you 50 cents they made the tool to fix it long ago, just decided not to publish it.

Because it is not the same thing. You can log in to an MS account on windows to access the ms store if you fancy it. What MS is pushing for is to log in to windows (as in your computer) using an online MS account. Huge difference, and yes it will be a dealbreaker if it ever becomes unavoidable...

It doesn't apply to most people, as most people don't want to deny that 10 sucks compared to 7. Why would anyone want to deny that retroactively? We just stopped mentioning it because it is not relevant to the W11 debate. The aesthetics are part of the cons, and it is still missing features...

Nice made up story, too bad it is not true. Just because I prefer 10 over 11 doesn't mean I can't still prefer 7 over 10. As I've said 2 steps back, one step forward: The Microsoft way. Even 7 had changes in it that were inferior to how things were in XP. I did not forget that, and nobody...

The only case where W11 has an actual benefit is when running CPUs that require the new scheduler to work effectively. The graphics pipeline offers no measurable difference in performance. And the HDR benefit is basically the auto hdr mode which adds HDR to non-HDR games, which is ill advised at...

Zero day exploits exist in all OS-es, that's why they are called zero days. You think between the monthly update Tuesdays there are no zero day exploits for W11? It is a myth that EOLed softwrae means you are definitely getting hacked. But of course it is convenient for MS and co, to let...

What do you think this is, the tyranny of microsoft? If and when I choose to upgrade to W11 I'm pretty sure it will be my choice. I know for a fact that I'm not spending money to fulfill MS's arbitrary CPU requirements. And I sure as hell am not going to bother with workarounds to get an OS...

Windows 10 wasn't great. Just not bad enough to keep people away. MS has been playing two steps back one step forward since 7. So if W12 will be a thing it will be one step up from 11, but still one down from 10.

The performance hit of features vary, but it's not nothing. You can still get big performance boosts by fine tuning settings in some games esp considering specific HW limitations. I think it would be a huge mistake to take away this fine tuning ability for the sake of simplicity. That has been...

Upgrading the engine under an existing project is always a hassle. Unless you did literally zero customization or haven't added any of your own code, in which case I question how good is your game if it just uses everything as is OOB.

Fewer options is never a good thing. That's why we have graphics presets for those who don't want to bother. But giving the most options for fine tuning should always be the goal.

In five to ten years. Wait, what?

How is axing ui customization and the other things I listed protection from lawsuits? Did they ever say that? I would not think them that brazen. This entire narrative smells of white knightery.

I don't believe that's true. What if any of these things that I find most annoying in W10/11 are court mandated? The constant push to upgrade to windows 11 The pressure to use cortana then copilot ai Removal of most UI customization options Fragmentation / hiding of options from users that...

Bitlocker with TPM does not protect you from hacking, the only thing it does is protect the data when it is physically stolen. Secure boot offers protection from rootkits theoretically. But for a regular home user I think they are more likely to cause data loss, than protect anyone. It's...

Isn't it also microsoft who is pushing bitlocker tpm and secure boot and such things whether you want them or not?

That's a good thing, maybe they work out the DEI from their system by the time they start actively working on them. So we don't get censorship of "problematic themes", or make Mona Sax into a trans lesbian with a man jaw.

Unless they are unattractive enough by progressive standards.

Congratulations on hitting every single dumb talking point that ever came out of the mouth of an activist. "It's not happening, but it is totally to prevent you from spanking" I have to ask, do you often spank it to video game characters? Why is it always the activists and their supporters who...

They have been doing that for 10 years now at western game devs. I'm sick of it, but especially the gaslighting about it claiming it is not intentional "you just don't understand how game development works"

I'm pretty sure it will have microtransactions that early access reviewers won't be allowed to talk about under NDA.

And this way they won't get our money.

The game doesn't feel like Star Wars, despite all the key jangling. And they gave her a double mastectomy.

Now you are just coping. I explained why they can't possibly be legally binding, try reading and addressing those points, because I'm not going to repeat myself. The purchase is the contract. When you buy something you enter into a contract, even if there is no specific terms documented on...

Ah, nobody of consequence only the ones in charge of their cash flow... Sorry, I don't think class actions are a thing here. Consumer disputes are handled by organizations like the ECC on a case by case basis.

No they aren't, read the post above. That's what they want you to believe, but you entered into the contract when you purchased the game, they can't change the terms later. The only terms I can legally agree to is what I was aware of at the time of purchase. Anything that is only revealed to me...

EULA's are not legally binding, they are basically toilet paper in an actual court here in the EU. It's just another way to make you fall in line and do nothing out of fear because the EULA said so. It is nothing but a strongarming tactic. It doesn't have to be legally binding, people just have...

Actually yours are, and not just a little. If you sell a product that depends on some sort of online service then you are obligated to provide that service. The company I work for is actually in one such contract, because someone made a bad deal 10 years ago, so we must continue to provide...

People want to label everything they dislike with the buzzword they hate the most or heard last these days. But globalism has nothing to do with ownership. Even calling it feudalism is a big stretch as feudalism describes more the social structure rather than commerce. Under feudalism peasants...

Owning what you bought is actually very capitalist. You'll own nothing and be happy is more in line with taking away games after a while, and usually people call that communist.
