I will stop using computers before I will use a processor with Microsoft Pluton.
Indeed it is.
My i7-2600k that I bought in 2011 is still going strong. Friends thought I was burning my money when I bought it, but they've all upgraded their processors twice over at this point.
Best bang for buck I ever fuckin' got on any piece of PC hardware.
Hipsters dont use obscure tech, they buy a mac os 10 notebook and use it to play civ 6. and they talk about how superior the mac os is, on a computer that would cost half as much as a PC laptop.
quad 3g should be fast as f for anything. if your computer is slow with that spec then youre using an inferior os.
Any more info on this? I've never heard of Pluton before, though seeing it's from MS I assume it's not great news.
I based my decision on the fact that Microsoft is both extremely incompetent and evil. The details of its implementation are irrelevant to me. What Pluton is capable of doing is almost certainly a lie. Here is their blog about it.
smart man I dont need to know anything about something if my snap judgements are always right
Go ahead and hire Casey Anthony as a babysitter then. I assumed Microsoft did so many fucked up things that it is impossible to recover from such a bad reputation, but I guess here we are.
And the Slashdot of today will applaud it...
What’s the deal with pluton? I tried a quick Google but MS has enough money that the like top 2 pages was all just fawning coverage
Windows 11 requires TPM. TPM is a chip that gives a bunch of hardware based security functions. Pluton will emulate a TPM, but it suppose to more secure because the communication is on chip because you cannot snoop the bus. It is a Microsoft coprocessor that is connected to your processor which can do god knows what.
According to Assange - MS was one of the first companies to cooperate with the spy agencies
Knowing MS, I give it 6 months before it's reverse engineered.
They don't even have to do that anymore. It's Microsoft, give enough Rupees and it is yours.
I personally plan on sitting on my 6700k for the next few years. Maybe a few eternities longer than that. Maybe I'll buy a spare at some point. It still runs all the games I play
and emulates Demon's Souls PS3 at 30 fps and that's good enough for me.
