Well there's that story in the Bible so maybe???
I'll admit I haven't read the bible back to back (Have read the Proverbs - they are great: "A fool is like a dog going back to feast upon its own vomit") but i'm sure I'd have remembered the bit in Sunday School where a guy named Gomer had to pump his own Gas?

LMAO it's like the 2K hysteria all over again... and what happen with that?

erh! let see... mm.. well nothing.... :beers: :beer: :beer: :beers:
The 'Year 2000' bug that made lots of IT people lots of money, was commonly know as' Y2K', I always thought that was ironic due to the fact that it was caused by shortening things,
If you recall instead of writing dates as say 1999, they just used the last two digits IE 99. So when 2000 came around PC's thought it was 1900.

There should not be any need to do all that stuff, One of my W10 PC's auto downloaded the new patch and all is okay with it.
Yeah same here I checked the registry key and it was all ready in place and windows seem to done all update all ready too so all good here and I haven't noticed any change in performance yet..

:beer: :beers:

The AMD flaw is Spectre I believe and is also a hardware bug and no doubt the NSA has been exploiting it for years.

So, if I understand these new year gifts correctly - it means
1) no cheap virtual machines any more (only "root" level one physical CPU minimum and increments by one CPU ( Xeon etc., not just "core")
2) soon ( 2-3 years) to be made adjustments onto RAM allocation so that each CPU has no physical chance to get to other RAM
fun times

There will be a simpler solution that doesn't mean re-fabbing. Perhaps they'll come up with a low level encryption passing through a CPU/Ram that will be able to separate threads or whatever is going wrong at the moment.

It would be nice, but unfortunately any "decent" encryption will kill the performance completely ... and any simple SHA is useless and everyone knows

Good video! Also, you can really easily find the drug lab by taking the mission that sends you there, then cancelling the mission if all you wanted to actually do was buy some drugs. :D

can you rob the dealers instead of buying from them?
