Or optimize the os because I still find 8GB insane for everyday tasks. Ok, gaming I can understand, but most common tasks should be runnable with at most 2GB of memory and that is mostly for browsers.

While highly specific optimisations might give you a tiny bit of advantage, the main boost here is vector code which would work on any processor supporting the instructions. They could have looked at the vendor bits and use those to flag fo

Leave the poor fellow alone. It's been butchered enough in the late 90s and early 00s, and has been repurposed for a greater good. I'd argue not all Microsoft creates is bad, it just needs someone else to make it better.

I've seen it at least once in code from a big car manufacturer who encrypted their software or parts of it to avoid you reading the xml files. They use a key, split into two or more parts, hidden as the first bytes of some file or as p

ETIS is dead and Ford finally pulled the plug, though since the current backend is some semi-custom IBM bloat I would not be surprized if you could get by that without too much hassle (took them three years to find out I was downloading all

This is the security equivalent of having a better lock than your neighbour. Won't save you in the end but you won't be first. Then again, yours could also be broken and you don't get to tick of that audit checkbox.

Fun thing is with a tiny bit of manipulation you can run a P3 tualatin at 1.33ghz via a slot adapter and some pin disablement and some voltage mods (or if you had the right adapter a jumper) in a motherboard which came with a low tier P2 or

The major stumble being having to cross licence AMD for the x64 opcode design thus ensuring at least two players in the field (and due to how it's going only two).

We call that kind of beer without any head "dead". Measurement here is about two fingers width, and if you do it the first time and screw up it is two fingers in length (second part is of course tounge-in-cheek).

A pint in the Netherlands usually is 500ml. In very rare cases, but only in real pubs (not mass market "Irish" pubs) you get an actual pint. So you are cheated out of about ~68ml in that case. Vs the US you get a few ml more.
