out of curiousity, if you use google translate for your commercial product, do you need to pay them? XD i read an article the other day about google using neural network to make their translation method to be more contextual and accurate. ms is apparently going along similar path. forgot where i originally read it from, but the google blog article does highlight how much better the effect is. https://research.googleblog.com/2016/09/a-neural-network-for-machine.html

[quote who="leiavoia" reply="6" id="3657848"] On food: totally agree. You would think space-faring races would have figured out the food issue by then. I think it's a hold-over concept from terrestrial strategy games. [/quote] in which case, surely there should be no food resource at all then? or at least no starvation, with food being productivity/morale booster / migration factor.

(misread) does your kb have drivers (from hp)? try loading latest of those maybe? or does it still get overwritten after regularly because ms for whatever reason thinks it doesn't have proper drivers and dump their load in?

ah.. i wasn't too concerned about making a link. (wasn't even trying to make one.. XD, kinda hate links) i assume people know how to highlight it and open in new/same tab if needed. did notice the forum looked different though.

tdr.. some vid driver related thingy in windows that's supposed to protect the system... so it just crashes the driver rather than the whole thing. but for me.. the monitor goes to sleep instead xD https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff570087(v=vs.85).aspx

... sleep when idle? (check power saving modes) driver problem that somehow kills the display (but everything else work) until reboot? my nvidia 970 occasionally does that upon exiting full screen games.. especially swtor.. which is why i don't touch that anymore... the monitor still pumps out sound but no display... something to do with tdr no idea.

someone released the attack code used to knock off krebs a while back. same stuff. don't need geniuses. iot is a waste of space. buy a hub thing.. if it needs to phone home, then give it a couple of years and it's more useless than a paperweight. people talk about iot saving energy like let smart washing machines to do their stuff when energy tarriff is cheap and all... or some external brain syncing/staggering those jobs. it doesn't really. you can't ju

gave up on owning printers years ago as i print stuff so infrequently that the ink will get used maybe once or twice before it's all dried up. far cheaper to do it in the library or whererever. ridiculous that the ink cost more than the printer itself.

sure, but cost is a big factor though. they won't be obsolete in the short term, not until 2-4tb ssd cost about what 2-4tb hdd cost around now. especially since the industry has to cover itself on backward compatibility (all those hdd won't disappear)

(they got their kepler and pascal mixed up) it's not like they'll get rid of sata anytime soon, is it? hdd will still be in use, until big ssd is more economical. we've all read about those huge ssd drives that are coming. but i don't see them being cheap.

jafo did say the update this summer slowed one (more?) of his machines down. i'm assuming the w10 you grabbed would be the one with the update.. so maybe that's the reason?
