[quote who="Jafo" reply="11" id="3673883"] If you ever get your hands on the LE Level 10 you'll wonder why you needed "sound dampening" etc....the case is made from 3mm aluminium plate and is thus its own 'sound deadener' AND heat-sink. It's not just the separation of heat sources...or the full-panel access to the 'back side' wiring ...but also so well done there's no fan noise at all...GPU and PSU fans don't bother running at all... And 'durable' ...it'll outlast m

Well, I'm not a console guy, but I know what hardware is installed in the current generation, I guess if we talk about stills, as you supposedly said, then this can be quite possible, but a real-time render in This quality? Well not really. We have decent engines like U4, which with 4K textures is able to bridge some aspects of the uncanny valley, but I just can not see games in photorealism happening any time soon. Just one model would have to have multiple subdivison levels fo

[quote who="JcRabbit" reply="5" id="3671545"] Eh? Did you guys watch the video?! Am I missing something? He uses an ELEVATED cmd window to launch the DoubleAgent executable. Without admin privileges given to it by the user in the first place, DoubleAgent can't do anything. This 'zero-day exploit' is a joke. [/quote] the command prompt is launched as admin and might not even be necessary to be launched as such?' You can run a regsvr without admin

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="2" id="3671528"] WB should work fine with Chrome BTW. I would recommend updating to the latest WB build as it is possible for 10.5 to crash explorer when launching Chrome even if WB is excluding the process. This was fixed in WB 10.58.

I do seem to have problems with it aswell. I use chrome sometimes and what i noticed is that wehn executed chrome will crash causing explorer.exe to crash. First i though it might be windowblinds but since i know that WB does not work great with chrome i excluded it from the start. Did undo style changes back to default to have a closer look anyways. And yes to make this short Fences seems to be the problem.Since im a lazy as ufck, i did not create any folder portals i just got

[quote who="starkers" reply="75" id="3670899"] I aleady own 3 copies of Windows 8.1, and having paid full price for two of them, I fully intend to use what I paid for. As for still being able to 'upgrade' to Win 10 for free, even IF I wanted to, which I don't, that's not the information I have been given. When a nephew tried to do it via the 'nag app' from the systray, it told him the offer no longer was available and to contact Microsoft, which w

[quote who="psychoak" reply="72" id="3670862"] What are you, an official spokesperson for Microsoft? No one at all serious can call what they've pulled since releasing 10 anything but underhanded. They hid nagware, advertisements, and even full blown operating system upgrades as critical security updates. I still have three years of security updates left on Windows 7 that I wont be using because they turned the update system into a trojan hors

Do not see what MS is doing wrong, they were open about a lot more things than ever on windows10, in close Insider Program, surveys directed to everyone, customer feedback on several social media sites , insider forum on reddit... Just put yourself into the situation, imagine you have to upkeep windows 7 windows 8/8.1 and then windows10.

Microsoft wants to safe up on long term support for those older operating systems. It is easier to fully support and concentrate on "A" OS than multiple. For those still running elder hardware using windows 7 there is no need for that kind of support, since the hardware did not change and unless you build up a computer by yourself there wont be any issues (you just have to think about buying or upgrading to windows10), if you buy one you will get the windows10 starter/home package i

[quote who="starkers" reply="61" id="3670510"] On another note, I did read a review on ASUS' ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard, the mobo I'm considering for when I can build, and I'm suitably impressed thus far. However, that build is some way off and I'll have time to compare and assess it and other boards. Another board that interests me is Gigabyte's <a href="http://ww

Technical difficulties right on the start ? Many Users report performance degradation in some applications aswell as games. The cause seems to be the CPU´s thread scheduling, which is in simple terms a task telling the CPU on how to process tasks distributed to its cores. This isn't necessary a physical problem rather more a software based one. Since the CPU is relatively new and brings a different architecture with it, it may take some time for the develop

Mh could be many things: First logical thing i would do is unplug every USB device connected to the Laptop because it might interfere with sleep.Its important to restart the system after you have unplugged the USB stuff-restart and see if it will go to sleep. ´ Hybrid sleep borked: "Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Sleep -> Allow hybrid sleep -> Setting -> Off" to disable hybrid sleep.
