P4's up through Northwood were fine and AMD's chipsets where a shitheap but if you didn't jump ship once Prescott took a big runny dump on the world you were a sucker

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:i mean yeah you could build a fast P4 back then but you paid out the loving nose for the chip and especially the stupid RIMMs rd ram was stupid (mostly because of the licensing cost because the rambus consortium is dumb as heck) but if I remember right dual-channel sdram chipsets came out soon after and it made the memory bandwidth problems moot

mod sassinator posted:wasn't UAC horribly broken by just changing the name of your executable and getting instant admin privileges? the bug is with the default mode for UAC with Win7 is one notch above full (unlike vista which was full on/off). in the default mode, it keeps a list of common built-in apps and auto-elevates them without going through the prompt. UNFORTUNATELY, it does gently caress-all for check for code signatures and stupid poo poo like notepad.exe gets elevated so basically if you rename some malicious app to notepad.exe and run it under the userspace it will auto elevate and boom full system rights. its stupid as hell and microsoft has openly said they will not be fixing it because they are fuckers and if you're going to use UAC you should have the slider cranked all the way up http://www.pretentiousname.com/misc/win7_uac_whitelist2.html BangersInMyKnickers fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Sep 2, 2014 |

yeah I am honestly surprised that more malware isn't using it as a way to silently elevate to system. its probably easy for AV to pick up the elevation payload but my vendor only sees it as an optional "potentially unwanted application" detection so I'm sure lots are blind to it.

eschaton posted:the problem is with the design of UAC in the first place, it hacks a ton of APIs to say"Do you want to let ___ do ___?" when not called by a process with the proper rights, when instead those APIs should return "go gently caress yourself" and make software developers rewrite their poo poo with proper separation of privileges (and stop writing their own goddamn installers when the OS provides one) no, read the article. its a problem with the auto-elevation feature. UAC on the whole cludgy as hell but it absolutely did complete its purpose of clubbing idiot "developers" over the head forcing them to write to the standards that MS has been publishing since they NT days. and despite what MS says, it is a security feature and a fairly good one at that when MS isn't busy sabotaging it. if they didn't "hack a ton of APIs" then vista and 7 would just be a continuation of the Everyone is Admin, Everything Runs as Admin fuckup that was XP and every other NT-based OS before it.

they made 2012r2 core installs not suck complete rear end, I'm guessing they've gotten to the point that they can whittle down the NT kernel to just enough that you need to run the guts of the phone and then put a non-explorer.exe gui on the top of that for a phone or tablet. but that assumes vision and competence and I bet they just hosed it up and are shoehorning the desktop OS in to mobile
