Any screenshots of the 3rd person replay view? (It's hard to try out Rift mode sans rift now. Earlier tests would just go into rift display mode without device).
Very difficult in the FO8. Nearly flat out for 70% of the lap, but the turn in point is key to be fast, lest you need to lift (or spin on the grass because of no outer kerbs)
No. Don't run XP unless you have literally millions of dollars invested in machines that rely on some strange XP setup, and switching away from XP would cost you millions per day of lost productivity.
He said more than 60FPS which is a very conservative guess. Even with a single GTX 760, I manage 100+ FPS with settings turned rather high. 2 GTX's just adds icing to the cake.
If an OS has required 12 years of security fixes, isn't it pretty easy to infer that there's still many more security fixes that could be applied?
Regardless, there's no trying to convince the technology amish that what they're doing is unsafe as they're exactly like the parents who claim that vaccines are evil.
Well using Windows in general is about as secure as leaving your house unlocked with the door open.
That said, XP will never ever improve security wise. Any vulnerabilities that are still in the OS, which there are most certainly plenty, considering Microsoft has been releasing security fixes for XP every week or so for the last 12 years, there's no reason why that would have stopped other than them End-Of-Life-ing the product.
XP was a good OS, 6 years ago. Now you're just vulnerable to a plethora of potential attacks. The only way you're actually safe is if you literally unplug your ethernet cable,throw your wifi stick out the window and glue all your USB, internal SATA/IDE ports, floppy drive and CD/DVD drive.
Also Scawen, just because someone agrees with your antiquated and downright wrong opinion, doesn't mean that they're the "voice of reason" in this matter. It simply means they are also wrong. As a software developer, I'd expect you to understand that "no security updates means perpetually less secure over time", especially in an OS that was so popular as XP.
It's less secure because it's no longer getting windows updates (for Consumers at least). It means that any 0-day that a hacker finds in XP, will never get fixed. Over time, the list of vulnerabilities will grow and grow.
At least Win7 gets regular security patches still.
And I don't care if ****ing bill gates said he was gonna stick to XP, it's still downright moronic to keep it.
The only places where I find XP to be "tolerable" is basically in manufacturing. Where there's millions of dollars of engineering and technical debt invested into a manufacturing device, and it's not networked at all. Any XP device that is networked in any way, is a terrible idea. It's vulnerable as hell, and unsafe.
Running a networked XP device is analogous to the anti-vaxers. You don't upgrade/vaccinate just for yourself, you do it to protect everyone.
No. XP is dead. The people who continue to use it (outside of literally massive corporations with technical debt that require XP) are equivalent to necrophiliacs.
It's one thing to use some antique OS for hobbying like Amiga or even Classic Mac OS. But to want to use it as your daily OS is just flat out retarded. I don't know why Windows users seem to never want to upgrade.
At least Android users have the excuse of "Our carrier left us on Android 2.2 and never realeased an update".
Consumer Windows users have literally no excuse not to upgrade other than outright stupidity or just plain stubbornness.
No. XP is dead. Microsoft isn't releasing ANY security updates to consumer versions of XP (only the embedded versions), thus by running XP you are a malware target and a potential malware hellstew to infect others.
Well, like Scawen said.. the last time he got tempted by our curiosity, it costed him years of punishment. He's making sure he doesn't get bitten by the same snake twice.
The people who are still angry about the eternal delays are the people who haven't yet gone through the various stages. First anger, then frustration, then finally acceptance and patience. Lots of us have gotten to the latter stages. There's a vocal minority that still haven't progressed past the first 2 stages.
Why would input method matter? If you're able to input the best inputs to the car (steering angle, pedal position) with a keyboard, you should be the fastest. Not penalized because you're not using a wheel.
