    Play a game using Denuvo DRM on an SSD. Files shift around frequently, SSD's limited read/write cycles diminish and result in a lower performance hard drive.


    Boom.

    That very much depends. If they are giving away their os for free you can bet your bottom dollar that you will have to sign your soul away to use it. Microsoft is not a company that simply gives something away for free without knowing how they may monetize it in the future. They are going to really be pushing on another front to earn money, whether that be the app store, adverts or data mining.

    That Windows 10 thing is sick. Want. So, almost all the computers in my house can have it. 4 computers. The other 3 are the Old Dell, and the thrift store ones.

    Very excited for my HTC One mini to get here. It sounds like it's just a bit better than my 5C spec-wise, and it's android, so I will be able to really try it out to its full potential until July when I can decide what my upgrade would have to be. It has a bad ESN and is for AT&T, so it's the wrong carrier, and I wouldn't be able to activate it anyways, but it's like-new otherwise.

    Knowing my luck, it'll take forever to ship, and not get here tomorrow like it says it is supposed to.

    windows 10 is only going to be free for windows 7, 8/8.1, and phone 8 user's, and only for the first year, so for anyone not running those os's or who doesn't get it before 1 year has passed has to purchase it

    Same kernel. If it's decent enough to work on Win7 it'll work on 8 or 10.

    I made some heavy KEVA Simulations long time ago. Too bad I never finished the whole project due massive render times.

    This is the result of 80 Hours of Render-Time (divided in several days)

    so Microsoft said that sometime later this year the xbone will be able to be streamed to any windows 10 pc or tablet

    i actually think that's pretty cool, while most people might not use it, i probably would end up doing so myself

    Also Fable Legends coming to PC. I loved Fable Anniversary for PC, so you can tell I'm much hyped for that one too!

    Hey, is there a known way to reduce these bright, white specular reflections you get when you look from a specific angle at the car?(without turning the shader on lowest) I think I tried everything in the settings/PostFX menu...so do you guys know a way or is this not possible at the moment?

    There is probably something you can do with the post fx settings to help with that if you want to fiddle.

    Belive me, I fiddled the hell out of those sliders ;) The brightness one lowers the bright sun reflection but it also darkens the game too much.
