Beta OSs aren’t just for testing said OS, they’re for testing to make sure your own software works within in the upcoming OS. No you shouldn’t have to share information to use it.

That's why you get a VM and test your program in that.

And go to Settings > Privacy > Diagnostics & feedback, you can see the stuff it's sending up.

For this phrase Bing image search primarily returns pictures of old single women posing with their pet. This seems oddly appropriate.

didn't i say xbox one market share would drop to 13-15% this year? already in January it's dropped from 18% down to 15%. january isn't an all-important month or anything, but they just launched the One X.

also the PS4 seems almost entirely unaffected by the Switch. any idea why Sony is reorganizing all of Playstation from the top down?

I think a lot of it is people trying to move up because of hirai leaving, since playstation is the most reliably profitable group in the company they're in a good position

superhot vr if you have move controllers, farpoint if you get the aim controller, skyrim vr is pretty neat with move controllers as long as you don't play a melee class and get the game at a deep discount

playroom vr is also pretty sweet, their 3d platformer game is amazing although only one level

quote:

Microsoft is also warning, again, that all Windows updates now require the use of a compatible, up-to-date anti-virus program. The changes made to the operating system to address the Meltdown flaw are significant and have revealed many bugs and incompatibilities in anti-virus software. To ensure that the patch isn't applied to machines with an incompatible anti-virus program, the update—and every subsequent update—requires a special registry key to exist. This registry key is created by anti-virus software to indicate that it's compatible with the Meltdown fixes.

Systems without a compatible anti-virus application won't have the registry key, and, hence, those won't receive any further Windows Updates. This includes systems with no anti-virus software at all. Windows 8.1 and 10 both include integrated anti-virus software that'll set the key and enable updates appropriately; Windows 7 users without anti-virus software will have to install suitable software themselves. Microsoft's own Security Essentials works, as do various third-party options.

so if you don't use anti-virus you can't receive updates. what a clown show.

man i lucked out because i bought two move controllers back in like 2011 when the ps4 wasn't even out; i got them on clearance at target for like 20 bucks. the ones released for the PS3 are identical to the $99 two pack they sell for the ps4 now, right?

also is there any difference between that aim controller and the thing sony released for the ps3 where you put those two controllers in the gun shell?

yes in every way, there's no change to labeling or ports or anything. if you have two of them you're all set

the aim controller i think is hard to find but there some new compatible game being bundled with it soon
