@dustinb3403 because he is Linus Torvalds. Most computers in the world use a kernel that he invented and is still actively involved with. What he says matters. You might not think so, but you would be wrong.
The current fix from Intel isnt the only fix. It is the only one Intel has released yet, and it is unacceptable to him. The entirety of blame here is with Intel. Intel needs to make a fix that is universal and wont cripple their customers. I would guess the guys at MS doing these fixes feel exactly the same as Linus.

RE: Webroot: Not Seen Recently
I get these as well. It is always the same workstations here. Sometimes i deactivate the endpoint then run the installer again on affected workstation. Doesnt reinstall, but it reactivates the endpoint and does seem to allow the workstation to show up again.

RE: Non-IT News Thread
Trump wants to make it harder for legal immigrants to becomes citizens.
Incredible that every single thing about this 'person', his ideas, and his supporters, is disgusting.

I suppose you might think count as politics and i shouldnt post it, but it doesnt. This 'man' and his followers are a clear danger to every single person in the world, even the dumbasses who support him. -
RE: LINux: Comm port address changes
@gjacobse disk devices do this as well. sometimes a usb drive used for boot will be assigned sda, sometimes sdi on a system with an 8 bay md0 set, as an example.

RE: Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play
I dont see how any org gains traction on Steam or even GoG. Have you looked at the twitch desktop client? Seizure inducing at best, though since it is Amazon they will likely redesign the ui every week just like with their Prime website. The steam interface is clean, refined over the last 20 years, though the new chat client update is gross. Not to mention there are twenty thousand or more games i can buy on Steam plus movies and tv shows now.
I only use Discord because Skype got butchered by MS. This Discord 'launch any game from Discord' thing smacks of raptr, the PUPware that amd was shoveling down user throats a couple years ago with Catalyst updates. I guess there are a few people who dont use Steam, that may want to buy something through Discord or Twitch, but it has to be less than 1 in 100 pc gamers. -
RE: Limiting Bandwidth
@wirestyle22 Firewall should be able to limit bandwidth on a port easily. What is the firewall?

RE: What Are You Watching Now
@scottalanmiller Yea it is real bad. Sequel is worse

RE: Limiting Bandwidth
The hell are you guys talking about?
You dont want an interface using all the available bandwidth, limit its bandwidth to a value less than the available bandwidth. This takes a few seconds to do on a Watchguard. Limit your bandwidth on vlan2 interface to 10Mb/s or slower. Then have no limit on the voip interface.Network bandwidth is like a chain, it will only go as fast the slowest link. If you have a limit of 10mb/s on an interface somewhere, no device/connection from external content to internal device in that chain will be more than 10mb/s.

Just in case anybody here doesnt play Rocket League, it is on sale right now on Steam.

RE: Limiting Bandwidth
@wirestyle22 Doesnt have to be a vlan. Just an interface. But like scott says, limits are bads.

RE: What Are You Currently Reading Outside of Tech
@ndc Yes im actually re reading Revelation Space. I read the Revelation Space trilogy a while ago, but then learned there were about half a dozen others in the universe, outside that story. So now im reading again starting at book one.

Is anybody in the world happy with Sharepoint Online or OneDrive for Business?
I cant think of two worse 'solutions' for file storage/sharing.Not of which I am aware. I like Sharepoint conceptually, but not in practice.
My thoughts exactly. In concept, it's a great idea until you look at the planning, execution, and maintenance of the service by the end-user. It seems like a mixed bag of experiences wavering on "it's ok" or "it isn't good" dependent on people's environment.
If you have nothing but IT people using it, or someone who is dedicated to managing it, it might be okay. But the platform is bloated, slow, and expensive even when working great. And it almost never is. People just start using it like a big shared folder and it all falls apart.
Yea, but you can have 500,000 site collections per tenant! The best part about that, I dont even know anybody that knows what a site collection is.
