[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;52000898]I doubt Linus frequents these forums, and either it seems like a pretty obvious idea? Kinda surprised everyone and their mum hasn't done this yet.[/QUOTE] He can hire someone to do that instead tho
Today was fun, the fuse blew in my bikes battery while I was 1/3 of the way into work this morning. 20A doesn't seem to be enough...
I wouldn't really consider us to be a tech forum though. We're just a group of 30 or so regular posters that like tech stuff and laugh at LMG content. If he had his employees scouring forums for ideas; I would expect somewhere like Toms Hardware, the countless Windows forums, reddit, or NeoGAF.
Linus does have a FP account though 🤔
Obviously he came up with that silly idea himself, it was just a funny correlation, not cause.
[QUOTE=BackSapper;52000861]Drivers can conflict sometimes causing a BSOD. It's improved over the years though.[/QUOTE] when i upgraded everything and kept my hdd with 10 and 7 on it 10 booted fine (just had to get wlan drivers and such) but 7 instantly bsod'd

WS2016 has memory compression disabled oddly enough. I just now enabled it to see if it helps. I should buy a few cheap sticks on ebay to help it out. 16GB should be enough. It's using a ton right now because I'm doing lots of storage space operations I think.

[QUOTE=Reagy;52000034]It really shouldn't matter when its running under a VM, the environment will just handle it as the middleman. What you're talking about mostly applied to when changing the physical hardware, it does still happen in some cases when moving from AMD to Intel and vice versa when not using clean installs. Windows is a funky beast when it comes to hardware changes, sometimes changing just the motherboard to another identical motherboard will cause it to not boot due to it not liking something while other times I've taken a HDD with a full install from one machine, put it into another machine with completely different hardware and its perfectly fine.[/QUOTE] I once got windows 7 to boot after swapping from an phenom II to an old first gen i7, just plug and play. Spooky.
[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;52002518]Proof?[/QUOTE] Someone from LMG has one and either way the account is so old that it might as well be Linus, even though I can't remember if it was him specifically. Someone probably has the link still.

I wonder if anyone would have the ability to see when the account was last logged in to, rather than the last time it posted. Then again, it's not like Facepunch is invite only anymore.
QA testing. Please don't kill me. I am complying with your demands whoever you are! :worried:

Oh I thought activity went by when you posted, my bad.
I've found that windows 10 will practically boot on every machine you plug the drive into nowadays. It's massively better than windows 7 in that respect. Usually it was the chipset drivers that would stuff it.

Not that kind of QA testing. I'm on the Mac Pro right now verifying that the hardware config I've given it is stable. [editline]23rd March 2017[/editline] Oh fuck I can't find my parallels key. [editline]asda[/editline] OH SHIT it has better windows 10 support? Fuck why didn't I get a free windows 10 key when I could??

omg pentium is actually considering the most up to date os :jawdrop:
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;52003320]omg pentium is actually considering the most up to date os :jawdrop:[/QUOTE] Last time I heard about running windows 10 under parallels in El Cap the reviews were "it was slow" and "copy/pasting between operating systems does not work" and other really big deal breakers. Also there was some fuckery where it would only run in 32-bit mode which meant I couldn't touch 13gb of my ram. Mind you, the standard Parallels license won't let me use more than 8gb of ram anyways and I think only half of my cores. :why: [quote]Install Windows 7 or 8, activate assistive technologies, enjoy free Windows 10 upgrade.[/quote] Any prerequisites? I noticed the upgrade offer under windows 7 Ultimate but not under Windows 7 Home Premium. I do have a Win 7 Pro key here still though.

I doubt a Mac Pro 1,1 can run it any faster with any amount of updates and optimization.

You can do it even without any assists enabled as its just the same upgrade channel as what was used before. I'd use the W7 Pro key then upgrade so you don't get locked into the forced instant updates that Home edition does, with Pro you have a lot more control. [URL]https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade[/URL] Plus in all honesty, I'd get W10 at least registered on your microsoft account so you can then have a legit version installed at anytime you want, long as you upgrade you'll always have it linked to your account for future use.

[QUOTE=pentium;52003558]Last time I poked at that the fact the 1,1 is EFI32 (on 64-bit hardware) caused problems.[/QUOTE] I run Windows 10 x86-64 on my Mac Pro 1,1. My OS X install is still x86-32, but Windows boots to 64-bit. I remember having to pull some hackery to get it to install, though. Normal x86-64 install discs don't work (and I don't think it can boot off USB at all), but there's some hack you can do to the ISO to make it work. I can try to dig up the site I got the info from, if you're interested (sadly, I literally just deleted the ISOs last week while clearing up my hard drive, after keeping them around for years. They were W8 install ISOs anyways).
I think I can deal with Parallels again once I figure out where the fuck I put my key.
[QUOTE=Kiwi;52003695]If Windows detects it's running off a virtual machine it won't give you a key prompt until after install. Or is it with a physical machine? I can't remember now been so long since I re-installed Windows 10...[/QUOTE] It doesn't matter either way, since there's a button on the Windows installer that lets you skip entering a key when you're installing.
I meant for Parallels. The program itself requires a product key in order to work. [img]http://kb.parallels.com/Attachments/kcs-39924/Screen%20Shot%202016-08-30%20at%201.png[/img] It's also a cunt. The basic package activation key is $70. The pro version which you access all your RAM and cores is $100/year. I have a legit key for Parallels 10 but it's not where I put it for safekeeping.
Tbh I find VMware and even vbox to be better than parallels
