Bomb threat at the High School a few streets over from my house. That's interesting. http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/3924839/dapto-high-school-in-lockdown/?cs=298#slide=2
Hmm, there were bomb threats yesterday at schools in the area while exams were on. Luckily just a hoax. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36364458
Total War: Warhammer released. I'm running an AMD PhenomII 1090T. It is in no way overclocked, and I've found the game has fluid frames on high settings simulating 40 unit card armies colliding, with about 15,000 men on the field. This therefore is impressive and I love how optimized it is. The AI is kicking my ass because my battlefield micro is awful. I'm honestly having the time of my life and I'm losing because everything looks so cool and I can't stop staring at the spectacle of cannons tearing apart entire legions of men. That and my entire decade of Medieval 2 gaming has in no way prepared me for this. Magic and the fact I end up fighting giant spiders means I can pretty much throw my battliefield tactics out the window and start from scratch. Ever since I was a wee laddie starting out my army of skaven on tabletop I've been wanting this to happen. This is why I'm a complete nerd and a gamer. It's so I could have massive cinematic fantasy battles that run inexplicably well on 7 year old AMD hardware. Someone shoot me, I'm so fucking lame.
The earlier games actually had no threading. The game is now fully threaded so it probably is leveraging multiple cores in your case.
Bomb threats to schools across the country on the other side of the pond. So far, none are legitimate.
450 clicks later I realise that my barely one month old Windows 10 install has a broken search bar again. I'm really done with this operating system. Ridiculously broken and badly made.
The other night I was telling my sister to access Device manager on Windows 10 in order to try and diagnose an issue. I told here to simply search device manager, she did that and the only result was to use Bing to search the internet for it. At least they made it easy to do via right clicking the start icon. Sometimes I simply don't know, The search seems to work on some computers, on others it will bing things, on others it doesn't work and on others auto update has corrupted the registry anyway making the search function out of reach anyway A windows update seemed to break the windows default metro apps on my grandparents computer. I tried everything I could find including telling power shell to do a full uninstall of all metro apps and then do a full reinstall. In the end I switched all the application defaults to other programs and told them it was either that or a reinstall, the upshot is they didn't like the modern UI apps anyway so they were happy to have the old ones back lol
The issue is that when you are trying to diagnose a Win 10 PC via a video call of your sister pointing her phone at her computer screen, when you are primarily using a win 7 based PC means I always try to use the search bar to get to things, since providing they have the same name you always get the same result, even if the normal routes to them have changed. I could have grabbed my Win 10 tablet and walked through it on that, but when I have a desktop in front of me I really don't want to bother with the tablet, its fine for on the go stuff, but Win 10 on a touch screen device is not always fun, especially on an Intel atom (which really shouldn't be an issue, its a quad core 1.86ghz affair [which doesn't mean a lot I will admit] so it should at least run smooth, maybe I just need to format it again, although that would involve redownloading win10 since it formatted the recovery partition. Then again my 7 based desktop has been over 5 years without a format and its doing fine). Perhaps they should put "Format PC" on the start icon right click menu, that would be a really handy shortcut in my experience with that os It is also worth noting that I am pretty tired right now, so my hate for Win 10 is quite exaggerated, it's actually a pretty decent OS. Even if it is (in my experience) the most problematic os I have had to fix yet.
