Stupid default Apps or an extra Windows Service or few isn't going to make any difference in how the OS performs (or the out of date AMD drivers they used on their Windows install). The foreground application gets a priority boost, it&

Controller-based cheats have been around for awhile, like Cronus which allows scripted actions; reduced recoil in CoD, for example.

Most large games are already compressed in cabinet files or similar so OS/file system level compression wouldn't gain you anything. While there are games that ship with loose files, like the Elder Scrolls series, other games like

Encouraging to hear they’re bringing the kernel architects into the picture as well as talking to game devs like Riot to move anti-cheat out of kernel drivers.

Both file systems support case sensitivity. Use DevDrive in a virtual disk or secondary volume, there are significant performance gains for things like git, nodejs modules, etc. It helps to know the system. The perf would be an issue with a

Windows has NTFS and ReFS. Both are quite sane and performant.

The only stable ABI on SteamOS is Win32. Targeting anything else is asking for it to break over time.

But that doesn't matter. If the feature isn't there, Linux is non-viable if you want/rely on said feature. It doesn't matter whose 'fault' it is.

Apple doesn't recommend joining Macs to AD -- their implementation is awful, along with their SMB implementation. But it is technically possible.

'Upset' is too strong of a word, but perhaps 'why is Apple pushing ads in my OS when /r/apple said they didn't do that?'.

That's really neat. Sometimes the how is better than the result. ...now do the Black Monolith.

SMBv1 is not installed by default on Windows 11 (and I believe) Server 2025. You have to enable it as an optional feature.

Even so, does it matter? Do you think the fictional "Windows 10 Forever" edition wouldn't eventually incorporate required features that didn't function on some class of hardware?

I agree, they did a poor job at countering the statement and I don't think they countered the statement at all. None the less, it was never a Microsoft official statement.

Microsoft never made the Windows 10 "last OS" statement, nor endorse Jerry Nixon, a developer evangelist, who said it.

This isn't an "if". And this shouldn't be shocking to anyone as Microsoft has EOL'ed all of it's previous OSes with a deadline. You can buy extended support for orgs like yours that require it - https:/&#

This is SALT, as in the US tax deduction, not "Salt" as in the refined mineral. I believe HN automatically recasts all-caps titles.
