Comment Poor Adobe (Score 1) 356

Companies like Adobe will have to support updates for Adobe CC (LR/PS etc) for Intel CPU's for a while, while developing ARM (or whatever Apple is actually doing) versions as well (meanwhile trying to lock out Adobe PS CC etc from being run on some idiots iPhone (not the mobile version, the full version... some smuck is going to try to use the full version on their phone)

I also think Apples sour grapes with nVidia needs to end, im not an nVidia fanboy but think Apple looses a lot of potential locking out nVidia but thats my 10c

Comment Windows 7 is dead (Score 0) 308

It's quite an old OS, doesn't fully support newer hardware, doesn't get security support and updates... find if you have an air-gapped system I guess, but I'd never consider running a Windows 7 install live connected to the net

Windows 7 was fine in its day, but it needs to be put to rest... (And I liked Vista back in the day, though an unpopular opinion it might be, I ran it with 4GB of RAM, where as many ran it with the minimum 1GB and wondered why they had a bad time)

Comment Re:Always carry cash (Score 1) 132

I am in New Zealand and was affected because one of my 2 banks is BNZ.

I only found out I was affected because I tried to buy something on steam, and my debit card was declined (weird because I knew I had funds in it).
I checked my banking app and it wouldnt show the live balance, and came up with a weird error when I tried to login... Couple of hours later it was back to normal, just was glad I out wasnt buying petrol or groceries

If only the USA paid attention to the Constitution... Currently you have no rights to unreasonable search at a border, or within 200miles of one... (dont see that limitation mentioned in the constitution)... The NSA and CIA actively spy on US Citizens, as well as the DEA apparently... Police and Federal agencies using things such as Stingrays without a warrant... Trump is pissing all over the first amendment, along with things which forbid profiting from his connections as President... and that's just the tip

PC sales are slowing, and this is why everyone runs around saying 'THE PC IS DYING OMG'

When in fact, Intel's cpu's arent getting much faster... [H]ardOCP recently tested a Kaby Lake 7700K vs Sandy Bridge 2600K http://www.hardocp.com/article... and the 7700K was only about 20% faster in a couple of tests... If you have a non current generation computer, you can put a fast SSD in it (if you dont have one already) and a faster GPU and you're fine for 99% of things (though with Sandy Bridge you miss out on things like M.2, PCIe 3.0 etc

More people I know have been building a PC rather than buying an HP or something prebuilt as well

After the 6.3 earthquake in Christchurch, NZ, 22 February 2011, we can tell you that what you thought was safe, isnt... We had buildings that should have survived the quake, but didnt...

And then we had a 7.8 in Kaikoura, on November 25 2016...I wouldn't want to be within a mile of this building in an earthquake
