    Why Windows Vista Sucked

    While we try to stay away from bringing up bad memories, Terry Crowley over a Hackernoon has a very good article entitled, What Really Happened with Vista. Before you start self-cutting again, Terry's take on this is much more specific than any I have read in the past, and much more technical...

    Dead? Not Dead? Zombie? YOU DECIDE!! (GTX 780)

    I have an EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX and it kinda doesn't work but also does. On one hand, the card displays nothing until it gets into windows, and then the Monitor turns on. Still doesn't display anything, but the monitor turns on and stays on. On the other hand, I can still use nvflash, things like...

    Ubisoft’s Uplay Ending Vista Support

    This may not come as a surprise, as Vista's official EOL is tomorrow, and only about 0.10% of Steam users actually still use Vista, but Ubisoft has just announced that Uplay is ending Vista support. Vista users will retain access to their games, but will be unable to receive future PC client...

    AMD Ryzen and the Windows 10 Scheduler - No Silver Bullet

    Microsoft Confirms Windows Issue is Holding back AMD's Ryzen?

    Well, not so fast. Guru3D has a story to this effect running today, and while it does look like Microsoft's statements suggest that they are looking to patch things for Ryzen, I have never seen anyone put so many weasel words into a single tweet before. That's impressive considering the 140...

    Android Challenges Windows as World’s Most Popular Operating System in Terms of Internet Usage

    So there you have it. This is presumably why Microsoft has been so worried, and has been so heavy handed in trying to force people into its ecosystem, rather than just trying to rely on a traditional operating system model. If current trends continue Q1 -Q2 some time of 2017 will be when...

    Why are All Windows Drivers Dated June 21, 2006?

    I can't say I ever asked myself this question, or even noticed that all generic drivers had the same date, but once pointed out I have to admit I was curious. The Old New Thing has a brief write-up keeping us in the know, and the answer makes plenty of sense when you think about it. The more...

    Why would calling a program twice in the Target field fix problems?

    There is this older in-house developed program some users use which generates random file path errors from time to time. If they set the program to run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility, the errors are no more. Evidently, we've also found that if we have a shortcut that has "X:\executable.exe...

    Back in 2012 I bought an Asus BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Blu-Ray burner for my new build.

    A Better Way To Do The Windows Pagefile

    I was reading an article about the windows pagefile and it said that the pagefile can't be used by anything running on the same partition as the pagefile so they recommended that you create a pagefile on each partition to avoid that. But that got me thinking about what may be a better way to do...
