64 Cores, 128 Threads, 7nm...eat that, Intel: https://hexus.net/tech/news/cpu/124022-amd-second-gen-epyc-cpus-house-64-cores-128-threads/ Also reported elsewhere that they've already shipped some pre-production chips to selected partners but no real, tangible, details.

So...as I vacillate between yes and no for the Recoil II, I notice there are a fair few review builds for sale that look like they have some juicy discounts. Out of interest...whilst I appreciate that the hardware is as-seen, what about the models that list Windows 10...is it possible to drop...

So my youngest is showing an interest in having a laptop. I know he'd like to play Fortnite on it but other than that, I'm happy for him to use his PlayBox for games which may otherwise be demanding. I don't have a set budget - well any budget - in mind although as it's for a sprog, I would...

Full details on it here: https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2018/10/26/windows-defender-antivirus-can-now-run-in-a-sandbox/ But in essence, run the following from an elevated command prompt then reboot: setx /M MP_FORCE_USE_SANDBOX 1 Trying it out and so far I've noticed no...

So my new posts said there was a new post in this thread: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?14358-Your-favourite-tv-shows/page6 But when I try to go to page 7 - https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?14358-Your-favourite-tv-shows/page7 I am getting the...

Just read the co-founder of Microsoft had died: https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2018/oct/15/paul-allen-co-founder-microsoft-dies Another one that gave a fair old chunk of his fortune away to charities.

Just ran a manual check for updates on one of my test virtual machines (the one that recently got the still active free Windows 7 - 10 update) just out of interest. I'm an advocate of not doing in-place updates for the most part but for anyone who is interested, it downloaded and installed the...

I was over on bleepingcomputer earlier reading an article about how signing into any Google service now forcibly signs users into Chrome. The workaround (for now, until Google kibosh it) is: Open Chrome Type chrome://flags/#account-consistency in the address bar and press enter. When the...

Anyone want not only Windows, but an entire desktop (the hardware) as a service? Run, patched and managed by Microsoft... https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/09/18/microsoft_managed_desktop_service/ @SypderTracks - I assume this is what you were referring to recently? Though it turns out not...

So just for giggles I was playing around with an old Windows 7 VM I had lying around. Bearing in mind this VM has not been powered on since around the middle of 2012... I wondered what'd happen if I did the in-place upgrade as I've been hearing talk that even though the free upgrade periods...

Kind of a pointless exercies, but equally an impressive one: https://www.elektormagazine.com/news/darts-always-a-bullseye

I've got a weird issue with my DII that I've been putting up with (mostly by using an external keyboard) for quite some time. When I hold a key down on the laptop keyboard (worth noting this doesn't happen with an external keyboard), it very quickly caches a lot of keypresses. So for example...

One of the questions often asked on here is what is/whether to buy a vPro network card. The advice from myself - and others - is usually a flat nope. vPro basically has additional hardware and coding that allows additional remote administration. Unless you're in a corporation, any added...

Following on from the FB/Google GDPR chat around privacy has anyone here tried the Brave web browser yet? I'm seeing good reviews but one of the things that jumped out to me was that in this particular browser, when a user launches a private browsing tab, it actually connects via Tor. Which...

I'm sure most folks here are savvy enough to understand the recent changes in the law around data protection and privacy - the so called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). There are a number of aspects to the rules, but in essence they include things such as not requiring users to sign...

...well according to Microsoft, anyway, as it's getting the fewest contacts with their support: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/06/14/ai-powers-windows-10-april-2018-update-rollout/

Apparently, on the 14th of June, Google are changing the look of their sign-in screens: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-changing-the-look-of-their-sign-in-screens/ So for those of us with slightly less computer-literate friends, family etc assuming they even notice, you may...
