It’s not drama, I’m just surprised is all. He’s usually very good about his accuracy, so when the entire premise is wrong I would have expected him to retract the video instead of leaving a comment someone can miss.

It’s a pretty big mistake, though given it’s his second (casual) channel it is very low stakes.

He can’t posit that re-releases are being done on single layer DVDs to save money, but use bootlegs as proof. Bootlegs aren’t a DVD release done by the distributor. That’s a pretty fatal flaw in logic.

It’s the equivalent of “Steam games are getting re-released in a weird way” and linking to Pirate Bay torrents, and the entire video is about how cheap games have gotten since they don’t have Steam features like achievements and cloud-save.

I’m surprised this video is still up, since the entire premise is false. They are bootlegs he bought off ebay, not official releases.

Not sure if it’s the one you are referring to, but AI gave discounts on flights.

I wonder if Windows Defender is parsing the hosts file and flagging specific entries. Perhaps your program knows what is flagged through trial & error, while I did more of an aggressive blanket approach.

It’s the only thing I can think of.

I think in this case “confirm” just means it is a second source saying it is a 4GHz Pentium 4. The first source of that information is just marker written on the CPU and thus considered less reliable.

Back when I had my Intel 3GHz Prescott working in tandem with the dustbuster Nvidia 5900XT, I honestly didn’t need to turn on the heat during winter.

Windows Defender will pick up any alterations to hosts file and revert it back to default. You have to whitelist the file before setting up any changes.

There was an /s missing.

Basically, xxce2AAb is asking why Microsoft PR is not trying to spin this as a good thing.

I know you are asking for FOSS alternatives, but for those who are looking to just restore the old programs:

Burned optical media shelf life can be as little as 5 years, so I don’t think it should be recommended for long-term storage.

Easily defeated by those who play Minesweeper.

If somebody told me these graphics are 16 years old, I wouldn’t believe them.

I recently played Final Fantasy XIII on Xbox Series X. I was amazed at how great it looked when output at modern 4K with 60fps and 16x anisotropic filtering. The gameplay was still crap, but amazing to look at given it was on 360 originally.

Because of that experience, I am a little more forgiving for 360/PS3 generation. Those games were mostly running 720p frame buffers (or worse) and seriously gain a lot when given some shine.

(This completely ignores the fact that PC would naturally have these abilities without an additional purchase)

The advertisers demand to view any generated log.

I know the headline references it, but it’s amazing how much it looks like Invisible War.

I still remember guides saying to go into BIOS and disable Hyper-Threading or any additional cores if you wanted to play specific mid-2000 games. Then when that wasn’t going well, the guides had ways to select core affinity.

I specifically remember Unreal Tournament 3 that would crash with a “Negative Delta Time” error since the secondary thread could process a frame before the first thread and cause time to flow backwards. The more things change, the more they stay the same. haha

do people actually buy those? I honestly thought they were some kind of money laundering thing. I’ve never once saw one sell.
