[QUOTE=Skanic;48017586]Is windows 10 stable enough for gaming now? I am only using it on my ASUS T100 atm and it works there but what about proper usage, gaming etc.[/QUOTE] it's fairly stable, been using it as my daily driver for roughly a month now and have yet to experience issues with games
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48017443]You know Bitlocker is most likely backdoored and won't do shit against law enforcement.[/QUOTE] BitLocker's not backdoored, they just "have the capability to comply with legal law enforcement requests". That's the word their lawyers used for it, in an interview.
[QUOTE=Skanic;48017586]Is windows 10 stable enough for gaming now? I am only using it on my ASUS T100 atm and it works there but what about proper usage, gaming etc.[/QUOTE] I'm gaming on Windows 10 and even running SLI, crashing less in games than my friends somehow
Did you guys do a Fresh install or a Upgrade from windows 7/8.1 to 10?
[QUOTE=nikomo;48017699]BitLocker's not backdoored, they just "have the capability to comply with legal law enforcement requests". That's the word their lawyers used for it, in an interview.[/QUOTE] Bring up proof or contain your tinfoil hats to yourselfs please.
[QUOTE=nikomo;48017699]BitLocker's not backdoored, they just "have the capability to comply with legal law enforcement requests". That's the word their lawyers used for it, in an interview.[/QUOTE] I'd like to see that interview. Also, dealing with law enforcement may as well mean telling them to fuck off 'cause there actually isn't a backdoor.
[QUOTE=Skanic;48017746]Did you guys do a Fresh install or a Upgrade from windows 7/8.1 to 10?[/QUOTE] Did a fresh install as always
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48017834]You are absolutely insane to trust a proprietary, un-auditable encryption program. The burden of proof is on Microsoft.[/QUOTE] True, but i don't place much more trust in free software either. See the Debian RNG bug.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48017861]The difference being that was found, exposed and fixed. You aren't able to do that with proprietary software, you just have to hope Microsoft finds it themselves and are nice enough to not keep quiet about it.[/QUOTE] You are right, and i agree with you. But for mine, and most other real scenarios it doesn't make much of a difference.
There are thousands of enterpise/oem companies who have access to all of the windows sourcecode. There is also the government security program where microsoft happily shares all the source code with any local, state, provincial, or national governments or agencies who signs up. If you're a security company, or develop anti virus software you are also eligible for shared source program. If you're an extremely active part of Microsoft community you are eligible for too. There is the windows research kernel which is publicly available, if you're willing to sign an EULA.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48017934]is there really no open source crypto software? with all the tinfoiling on /g/ i'd imagine there would be something by now[/QUOTE] There is plenty? TrueCrypt was the most popular for a while until that fell apart, VeraCrypt and CipherShed took over. All are fully opensource as far as i am aware, on linux most people use something LUKS based.
God, this trip to Tokyo means that not only am I physically cleaning my laptop, but I'm going through EVERYTHING to make sure there's nothing hidden away in say a cache folder or browser history.

Also, dealing with law enforcement may as well mean telling them to fuck off 'cause there actually isn't a backdoor.[/QUOTE] Looks like I remembered wrong, it wasn't an interview, it was a post by Microsoft. [quote]Asked about instances in which Microsoft built methods to bypass its security and about backdoors generally, a company spokesperson told me that Microsoft doesn’t consider complying with legitimate legal requests backdoors.[/quote] [quote]I asked Microsoft if the company would be able to comply with unlocking a BitLocker disk, given a legitimate legal request to do so. The spokesperson told me they could not answer that question.[/quote] [url]https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/06/04/microsoft-disk-encryption/[/url] (Article by Micah Lee) So Microsoft's public posts say that they do not comply with requests for access by governments, yet they go to say in their post: [quote]Microsoft is obligated to comply with the applicable laws that governments around the world – not just the United States – pass, and this includes responding to legal demands for customer data.[/quote] [url]https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2013/07/16/responding-to-government-legal-demands-for-customer-data/[/url] Considering how they're unwilling to directly answer a journalist's question, that already puts them on shaky ground. Article also talks about how the Elephant diffuser was removed from BitLocker, which according to a Microsoft employee ([url]http://css.csail.mit.edu/6.858/2012/readings/bitlocker.pdf[/url]) would make AES-CBC "not suitable" because "it should be relatively easy to mount an attack". [quote]If the device is not domain-joined a Microsoft Account that has been granted administrative privileges on the device is required. When the administrator uses a Microsoft account to sign in, the clear key is removed, a recovery key is uploaded to online Microsoft account and TPM protector is created.[/quote] [url]http://cryptome.org/2014/11/ms-onedrive-nsa-prism.htm[/url] FBI and other agencies asked Microsoft to implement backdoors, ex-Microsoft engineer said no. But at least we know Microsoft has been approached by agencies, because of that person. [url]http://boingboing.net/2013/09/11/how-the-feds-asked-microsoft-t.html[/url] (Article written by Cory Doctorow) BitLocker will work fine if you just care about your laptop being stolen, and I very much doubt anyone in this thread is carrying something worth bruteforcing AES for, even if it's vulnerable. But you'd have to be extremely uneducated to use it against a state-level attacker. The keys being sent to Microsoft has another side-effect: if you forget your password, you can follow Microsoft's instructions to get the recovery key back from them: [url]http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/bitlocker-recovery-keys-faq[/url]
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48017934]is there really no open source crypto software? with all the tinfoiling on /g/ i'd imagine there would be something by now[/QUOTE] There is, it just isn't much more trustworthy than bitlocker.
So I've been running an interesting experiment for the past two days. Letting my computer figure out how to play Mario on its own. The "brain" is currently in its 65th iteration and counting and it sometimes really amazes me. I've also been streaming it on [url]www.hitbox.tv/andylon12[/url] if you're interested in dropping by.
[url]https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765645[/url] Person yells at Mozilla for deprecating a Mozilla-specific tag, whilst person was stupid enough to not use both the vendor-specific tag, and the generic tag it would eventually become when accepted into the standard. Instead of doing a find-and-replace and dropping the mozilla part of the tag, they whine on and on, and say they'll be sending a bill to Mozilla for the time it takes to fix their website.
You can't prove cryptography works, unfortunately, the only thing you can do is demonstrate how resilient it is to attacks.
So Tidal, the hifi music streaming service, has a 30 day trial. I guess I'll go give it a shot.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48018042]why? cant you look through the code yourself and compile it yourself[/QUOTE] That's really hard and time consuming. And just because it's free software doesn't mean bugs or backdoors ever get found. A great example is: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generator_attack#Debian_OpenSSL[/url] from Debian, where a bug made key generation very predictable. It remained for 2 years before someone found it, and Debian is arguably one of the largest free software projects. Something like this could easily be hidden, intentionally or not, in various encryption implementations. Just because a piece of software is free, doesn't make it automatically safe.

[QUOTE=garychencool;48018413]So Tidal, the hifi music streaming service, has a 30 day trial. I guess I'll go give it a shot.[/QUOTE] decided to give this a shot as well, and good lord, the design is pretty cluttered in my opinion. streaming music on my end isn't instant either on HiFi, it'll buffer for about 5 seconds before starting a song compared to Spotify's instant playback (on a 100mbps connection). it's a minor complaint but still fairly annoying. don't think I'll switch from Spotify just yet [editline]21st June 2015[/editline] at least it'll instantly start playing the next song in queue, just takes time to start the initial song
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48018049]Exactly, that doesn't really help against subtle flaws in the implementation though, just highly obvious & gaping backdoors.[/QUOTE] [url=http://www.underhanded-c.org/]Related.[/url]
i'm pretty excited for win 10

Could give tidal a try now since it won't destroy my phones data cap now but it would after my Google music all access trial ends.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48017443]You know Bitlocker is most likely backdoored and won't do shit against law enforcement.[/QUOTE] Even without the backdoors, "law enforcement" will still send you to someplace like Gitmo if they want your data badly enough. Prevents Jackass Carl from stealing my identity via my laptop though, so whatever.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;48018994]So is this different than Sethbling's MarI/O, because it looks identical.[/QUOTE] It IS the same code but I've been doing experiments that he hadn't at the time I started. (not sure if he has now) Switching levels and keeping the same "AI" pool, leaving it on for extended periods (currently around the 46 hour mark) to see how long until progress is effectively redundant etc.. All in all, I've got a lot of time to kill recently.
Just Fresh Installed Windows 10 time to game on it.
Windows 10 is fucking incredible. I love it. It's so easy to use, interfaces well with my windows phone, and runs a whole DICKLOAD faster. It pisses all over my 7 copy and it's not even a final release.
