When will Microsoft stop doing Windows 10 security updates?
I have a 10 year old laptop with 32GB of RAM, GTX 970 6GB and an SSD.
For many things it is better than any 16GB work issued laptop (that often come with integrated cards - so you wont be able to run any AI model on them). Although the old ssd is starting to show its age (perhaps a full system reinstall would solve this, other option is to get a new one).
The old laptop does not have UEFI so it could not get the (free for some time) Windows 10 to 11 upgrade.
I am smart enough to install Firefox on it and update it, but the official Windows 10 updates will stop coming soon.
I was effectively kicked out by Microsoft because my device is "old". Even if it is beefy enough to browse the internet and watch youtube.
Note that I bought a new beefy laptop now that I hope to use for the next 5+ years (hopefully more), but who knows if they wont come out with some new idea, like UEFI 2.0 for Windows 12 - that again will mean we need to buy new hardware and new windows.
On an unrelated note I want to turn the old laptop to a linux machine - for fun and learning, but dont have the time for that.
Is this GDPR territory with fines up to EUR 10 million or 2% of a company’s global annual turnover? Not sure what are the fines for some random person though
It is funny how StarCraft Brood War runs circles around C&C games - people still play it online, there are still 20k dollar tournaments in Korea... the game is just more fun to play and to watch.
It received an official remaster too that was only a graphics update
Meamwhile people make threads about RA what was a bad game even when it came out - "strategy" was to made few overpowered towers, then mass tanks and flood the computer with them. Mutliplayer was tanks + dogs, so the first shot of the enemy tank was wasted on your dog.
Mid and long term effects will come with next administration - which can be blamed for the failure (even if it has nothing to do with it) -> so those who caused the problem can be voted back to power.
I find it ridiculoua that we believe it is random probability instead of trying to find (and maybe later mitigate) the real sources of this randomness.
Why is it called "distillation" when it seems to be "scraping"? (as in web scraping)
When bots open the same board 1 million times per day it is web scraping to train the AI model and OK.
When someone asks 150 thousand questions it is now distilling.
On an unrleated note, 150k qieries feels like nothing?
Scrapers seem to account for 50% total internet trafic.
Do they use different methodology since it is suddenly bad when scraping happens to them?
The true successor of ID software is Half-life 1 with its goldsrc engine... but that simply was made by another studio.
HL1 took both the engine and the genre further + continued the modding culture that brough Counter strike and other mods
(Note I know very well that Half life is not an ID software game, it only took the engine that was auper heavily modified / updated- but it my opinion this is the successor)
However Ticketmaster is a monopoly. There are (still) alternatives to Steam.
But yes, it is getting into a monopoly, or oligopoly position.
