Microsoft is no longer a company that sells operating systems to PC owners, it entices users onto its platform to monetize them. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3102428/want-me-to-trust-windows-11-again-bring-back-local-accounts.html

LOL @Mr. Fox Latest Windows 11 update is being withdrawn Corrupt files cause the installation to fail. Microsoft has recently faced an ever-growing amount of criticism for bugs and other problems with the Windows 11 operating system. However, the company has promised that they are hearing the criticism and improvements are on the way.

Software or huge driver packages to try fix their hardware to function properly is lame. In the old days you didnt have to install software or drivers to make Intel chips works. Even the chipset driver isn't an real driver. **** also feels like a workaround **** rather than a fundamental improvement in game performance. Instead of broad architectural gains, this approach selectively enhances individual titles through predefined profiles. The biggest limitation is support https://www.guru3d.com/review/core-ultra-5-250k-and-7-270k-plus-processor-review/page-30/

Hmm. Seen more info about this? Intel should stop make such changes within same gen Chips (to upsell the refresh as something new). Almost as Nvidia making new gen fake frames features as the new for new gen Graphics cards. Soon you'll pay extra for software features or slight tuned firmware/vbios versions to milk more money from the more expensive Gpu SKUs. A popular benchmark, Geekbench, says it will issue a warning when Intel’s new “Arrow Lake Refresh” desktop chips enable Intel’s new IBOT feature. Why? Because the benchmark vendor can’t be sure that scores reported with it can be considered trustworthy. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3099125/intel-new-performance-tool-casts-doubt-on-benchmark-scores.html Regarding IBOT. NOT Intel APO. What will Intel brand the Optimizer software feature next time? What buyers of Arrow Lake Refresh should know is that IBOT is not on by default, so if you want this performance boost, you must use Intel’s software to activate the feature. It also is only in 12 games as a start, with no concrete timeline for additional title support. And yes, for those who’ve abandoned Windows: IBOT will eventually come to Linux. But Intel won’t say when—not just yet.

Windows 11 users have heard Microsoft's promises before. That's the problem The trust is almost gone.

Nope, no compute can fix this. The bad weather we have in Norway follow me also down to my favorite place outside Africa. 10 days into my holiday and same bad awful weather every damn day. Someone really hates me🤕 The icecoold from Sept to May in my home place under the North pole ain't enough, then this trash/winter storms in the spring down south. I don't know what to say. Almost giving up. And the Bungalows and outside area isn't built for this type rainy weather/storms. Tiles on the floor everywhere can't drain the flood of rain.The climate is in change. The fix is building more AI slop running on more gas and oil. Sure. I living in one of the coldest an rainy places on earth. The weather being worse and worse. Rest of the world will follow same paths. Sad. Tenerife hit by snow as Storm Therese brings wind and rain to Canary Islands https://www.bbc.com/weather/articles/cr51n7yd7v5o

And Microsoft have most of the OS market.... Not so sure a big market cap is what the consumers want or prefer. You can easily destroy your own brand name. Almost Monopoly is dangerous. But its what it is. Nvidia and Microsoft is exactly the same. Now we will see AMD try the same as well. We need alternatives. Not this greedy companies asking the corrupt governments for help to grow even further. I hope this backlash/rethinks will help. There is always a max limit what consumers will accept. Both in mind and money spent on trash. One of the biggest winners i ISRAEL. That speaks numbers. Report: Microsoft rethinks AI ambitions in Windows 11 after pushback And it seems Microsoft is finally listening. The stubborn forcing of Copilot down the throats of Windows users has (perhaps permanently) damaged the operating system’s reputation.

Msi nowadays... The company is hoping to profit on premium products and AI data centers https://www.techspot.com/news/111720-msi-plans-raise-prices-up-30-amid-memory.html

On the way for early 1 months vaccation outside Africa - Canary Island. Me and my lovely wife leave Norway today🙂 Finally we can have some warm and heating sun after many months in the cold and the dark here home in the North. But I will follow my good friends on the forum. I will use an phone and an tablet. So @Reciever bear with me. Not easy posting with the tiny trash. So please merge posts into one if needed. But I'll try my best. Double up. Nice with native 12V-2*6 cables. Can't beat double the stupidity on one single cable.

CM's Premium custom cables. Sure. And no thanks.

Strategy doesn'tmatter if the money running out. But the waste of money on AI could continue if the government continues to subsidize the tech for mass surveillance. Money for AI is running out: OpenAI and Oracle cancel expansion of Texas data center for Artificial Intelligence The billions of dollars that have been put on the table are sometimes not enough. Just a year ago, money for Artificial Intelligence seemed inexhaustible, when tech giants, sovereign wealth funds, and banks... Going blind into the future.... One in four CEOs say AI is a bubble but will continue investing One in five CEOs also expect job cuts this year

Good luck. "The Land of the Free". Soon almost gone. You always get what you ask for. It's for a reason etc Microsoft want that you only can sign in into your pc with an M$ account. Also why some states will ban Linux as your preferred OS. Forced on you by the current government. Sad! Same also happens from the different US States policy. Freedom will vanish and be something forgotten from the past. And China lead the way.... The free world will just follow after the bell sheep (China). Yupp, AI have its advantage. Government will use it to keep the citizens under their thumb. Exactly as China have done the last two decades. AI company Anthropic sues Trump administration for ban Anthropic is at odds with the Trump administration, which wants to use AI technology for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons systems. The case is now going to court. Anthropic Sues Pentagon, Argues Blacklisting Violates Free Speech The San Francisco company wants a US district court to intervene and lift the 'supply chain risk' designation, which bans those working with the Pentagon from working with Anthropic Microsoft CEO jokes with Jensen Huang that NVIDIA wouldn't exist without gaming NVIDIA addresses the memory crisis: “I think the fact that everything is scarce is fantastic for us; when things are scarce, you choose the best.”

The black and red in front? Not sure it's the TOP sku you have from Asus. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-eah4890-top-super-ml/4.html Not everything you buy is gold standard... "All that glitters is not gold". Yup, the fancy screen on the Lightning ain't gold that glitters. Just some fancy unnecessary gimmick to increase the already sky-high prices. And I shouldn't start talk about the new web based trashy software to make it work (which not work at all). — William Shakespeare, Merchant of Venice Norwegian gov't consumer watchdog calls out ‘enshittification’ of video games, connected devices, and others

The rats abandon ship and pull up the ladder.... Just can\t wait for the bubble to burst @Mr. Fox Nvidia says its investments in OpenAI and Anthropic are likely its last The chipmaker signals a strategic "retreat" from circular investments shaping the AI boom

The old estimate that China and neighboring countries gobble up 1/3 of the Geforce market seems wrong... This needs to be adjusted upwards. Half of the market is probably more correct. China is an major reasons for shortage and hence higher prices globally. China has once again made its mark, with 54.6% of Steam users coming from there... Hero’s welcome for Nvidia CEO! Jensen Huang delivers love letter to China, says nation leads in EVs and innovation Nvidia’s Jensen Huang praises Chinese tech, seeks deeper collaboration in Beijing NVIDIA releases 3rd driver in a few days... When will we get the 4th? NVIDIA releases 595.76 hotfix driver addressing OC voltage issues on RTX GPUs Nice. Nvidia never fixed voltage issues for Maxwell. As you can see... Nvidia have all possibilities to manipulate their hardware with drivers in all ways if needed. This hotfix addresses the following: When the graphics card is overclocked, GPU voltage may become capped, preventing it from boosting to expected levels [5934973] [Resident Evil Requiem] White glowing light/dots may appear in game when Subsurface Scattering is enabled [5915673] Improved path tracing performance in Resident Evil Requiem [5938207] [Star Citizen] Game client crashes when launched [5935027] Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed when playing multi-key DRM content in a browser on HDCP 1.x monitors [5934450] Could be that Nvidia continue bet on the gamer market and not only on the more expensive server chips. Great job if this bear fruits and not just are rumors. Anyone that will give Nvidia cred for this? Remember nvidia works damn hard for the gamers... NVIDIA will create its own Frankenstein to solve the memory crisis: RTX 5070 8GB and RTX 5050 9GB with GDDR7 The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 will return to stores later this month.

Everything avesome being destroyed. Everything has to be turned into garbage. The tech trend continue. Whatever it's hardware, firmware, OS, drivers or software. Msi follow Asus paths. MSI suddenly increased your chances to buy the Lightning cards. Are you prepared to open your wallet bro @Mr. Fox?😀 It's a collecor item as you know. So don't bother with the dreaded Dv2 moniker. And the 24GB vram limitation just means more power available for the cores. MSI GeForce RTX 5090D v2 Lightning Appears with 24 GB VRAM The MSI GeForce RTX 5090D v2 Lightning has officially appeared on the Chinese market, according to a Bilibili user named "Hardware Patrick Star." This China-exclusive SKU is an adaptation of the new GeForce RTX 5090D v2 with MSI's overclocking enhancements, allowing the card to reach new performance heights, paired with an all-in-one liquid cooler.

Just hope Nvidia don't cripple the latest gen cards as they did with Maxwell (see bolded text above in my old post). Easy for nvidia to cripple their cards with new driver updates. They have done it before! Was it just a coincidence that nvidia came up with the garbage right after MSI's ugly chess move?

What to expect from Windows 12

Same can be said about MSI. What are MSI affraid of? Nvidia? Or to try to prevent increased RMA requests? MSI is actively taking down leaked 2500W Extreme OC BIOS files for GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning MSI reportedly asked for the removal of a leaked 2500 W “XOC” BIOS file for the GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z, and the file no longer appears in TechPowerUp’s BIOS collection. That said, MSI taking down these BIOSes is unusual, because almost every XOC BIOS that I can think of has eventually been leaked, and no one has had an issue with it. So far, MSI has not published a public statement detailing its takedown requests. Same can be said about Asus. The FE clone from Asus will probably cost nearer $4000 Spot on. All to much trash being made nowadays. And not only hardware/electronics. Consumer rights are highly valued here in Norway, so.... Etc 5 years free warranty is the norm for goods meant to last more than two years. Yet, Dell try to push consumers to buy their overpriced premium warranty. Greedy stupids. Complaint Deadline (Reklamasjon): Generally 2 years, but extends to 5 years for products intended to last significantly longer, such as furniture, electronic devices, and household appliances.
