When it drops below 50% top it up a little if you can. A little a few times a day seems to be the optimum to aim for. Experts recommend that you do a full zero to 100% battery recharge (a &quot;charge cycle&quot;) maybe once a month only. This recalibrates the battery - a bit like restarting your computer, or, for humans, going on holiday! The same goes for laptops, by the way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;#3 : Don&#39;t let your phone Switch off completely.

In fact, it is better not to fully charge, because a high voltage stresses the battery” and wears it away in the long run. If you are trying to keep your smartphone charged all day, this may seem counterintuitive. However, you should be fine, if you plug in your smartphone whenever you can during the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;#6 : Plug in your smartphone whenever you can&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9vqfsrJc_Tk/WSRDmIZKLqI/AAAAAAAAANc/MyXHM6JY6J83p6-vx3L71joQG4ycvBFhQCLcB/s1600/images%2B%25281%2529.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9vqfsrJc_Tk/WSRDmIZKLqI/AAAAAAAAANc/MyXHM6JY6J83p6-vx3L71joQG4ycvBFhQCLcB/s400/images%2B%25281%2529.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.co.in/search?q=images+of+charging+smartphone&amp;amp;tbm=isch&amp;amp;tbo=u&amp;amp;source=univ&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ved=0ahUKEwiL4_Xsk4bUAhUIOI8KHRULAucQsAQIJA&amp;amp;biw=1024&amp;amp;bih=696&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Google :)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Don’t wait till your smartphone battery runs down out of charge. Charging them occasionally throughout the day can help the battery’s performance instead when they are empty. According to Battery University, charging your smartphone when it loses 10 percent of its charge would be the best-case scenario. While this may not be practical for many people, so just plug in your smartphone whenever you can. It is ok to plug and unplug it multiple times a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This not only keeps your smartphone’s battery performing optimally for longer, but also keeps it topped up the entire day. Further, constant top-ups also allows you to use features, like location-based features that use your smartphone’s GPS antenna that would you normally not use, as it can eat up your battery life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;More Tips :-&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Turn off the device or disconnect the load on charge to allow the current to drop unhindered during saturation. A parasitic load confuses the charger.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Not all chargers apply a full topping charge and the battery may not be fully charged when the “ready” signal appears; a 100 percent charge on a fuel gauge may be a lie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Discontinue using charger and/or battery if the battery gets excessively warm.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Apply some charge to an empty battery before storing (40–50 percent SoC is ideal).

margin-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 20px;&quot;&gt;Since its inception in 2004, Facebook has more than&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;600 million active users,&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;making it the fastest-growing and biggest social networking site by far. Millions and millions of people log in to it every day, readily updating their statuses and checking out updates by their friends. If you’re not on it, you might experience some form of ‘information gap’ from your peers who swear by Facebook to pass information. You would probably get to hear news of your friends’ engagements, vacation trips and their troubles and woes, but only later. In fact, their acquaintances might get to hear of them sooner than you could, all because your friends have added them as ‘friends’ in Facebook. If the Facebook privacy settings were in default, these posts will also be accessible to any strangers online.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #444444; font-family: &#39;PT Serif&#39;, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 29.92px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-9645&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #444444; font-family: &#39;PT Serif&#39;, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 29.92px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 20px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;It’s also funny how we all know that Facebook collects data about us and possibly share that information to third parties organizations without our consent, and yet we still don’t really let that bother us much. In other words, the things that we post on Facebook aren’t really erased even when we ‘delete’ them from our profile or wall; they are still somewhere in the cyberspace, perhaps available to be traded. Yet we continue to make our most personal posts, as if to repress such knowledge of privacy violation into our subconscious in a Freudian sense of things. Or maybe some of us think it’s a great idea after all, since we get information that is of interest and relevant to us, and not just random advertising junks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #444444; font-family: &#39;PT Serif&#39;, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 29.92px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 20px;&quot;&gt;So, these bring us to the question:&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Are we trading away our privacy for the sake of an awesome social network?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #444444; font-family: &#39;PT Serif&#39;, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 29.92px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 20px;&quot;&gt;There are two key privacy issues at stake here. On the individual level,&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;publicizing your life on the net&lt;/span&gt;, where all our posts and comments get into the open for people whom we may or may not wish them to have access to, doesn’t seem to be ideal. In the broader context, the mysterious&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;data-mining&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;capability of Facebook is a powerful and scary thought, especially when most of us are unaware of the actual extent. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/facebook-privacy-matters/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Read More....&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #444444; font-family: &#39;PT Serif&#39;, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 29.92px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 20px;&quot;&gt;{ Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;strike&gt;http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/facebook-privacy-matters/&lt;/strike&gt; }&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #444444; font-family: &#39;PT Serif&#39;, serif; line-height: 29.92px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 20px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 29.92px;&quot;&gt;Now, I will give some instructions to secure your private info which is on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://facebook.com/&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 29.92px;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 29.92px;&quot;&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 20px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-family: PT Serif, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 29.92px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Visit Facebook.com and Sign In to your Account.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #444444; font-family: &#39;PT Serif&#39;, serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 29.92px;&quot;&gt;After Signing In, Click on &#39; Privacy Shortcut &#39; Button.

While Microsoft began to distribute a larger number of updates for Windows 8 that added features (such as interface improvements) beyond security patches and bug fixes, Windows 10 will adopt a tiered approach: users receive critical updates, security patches and non-critical updates to the operating system and its functionality as they are released. In business environments, administrators can choose between &quot;Current Branch for Business&quot; (CBB) and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_support&quot; style=&quot;background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;&quot; title=&quot;Long-term support&quot;&gt;long-term support&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;release channels. CBB will receive all updates at the same pace as consumers, but allow administrators to opt out of or delay non-critical updates to ensure they are suitable for their environment. LTS versions of Windows 10 are periodic snapshots of Windows 10’s CBB branch, and will only receive critical patches over their 10-year support lifecycle. Systems can also be placed one or two versions behind the most recent LTS version to allow for structured deployments and internal lifecycles.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-ars-winasaservice_44-0&quot;

&amp;nbsp;Today, &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagpur&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Nagpur&lt;/a&gt; is a rapidly developing city. It is located in the centre of our country(India) with the Zero mile marker indicating the geographical centre of India. It is also called as &#39;Orange City&#39; and &#39;Tiger capital&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I am very much proud that I born in india and I am a Nagpurian. Our Nagpur has been identified as the best city in india by toping the live ability, greenery, public transport and health care. Nagpur has the best literacy rate which is 93.13%. Now It is becoming a educational hub. Also our city is going to become a metropolitan city.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Every coin has two sides, just like that our Nagpur city has some drawbacks also. Like cleanliness problem, pollution, increasing rate of crimes, poverty, unemployment, higher rate of taxes, inflation, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have many dreams for my City. My city should become a clean city, it should become pollution free and environment friendly. The increasing rate of crime should be controlled immediately. The drawbacks like poverty, inflation and higher rate of taxes should be removed. It should become a solar powered city. It should become a employment oriented and smart city. And should become an ideal city all over the universe.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So, as a Nagpurian, I will try my level best to develop Nagpur and to bring my dream city into existence by cooperating Nagpur Municipal corporation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Green city and Clean City&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Nagpur&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;city, My&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Dream&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;city&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Pollution Free and Smart city&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Nagpur&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;city, My&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Dream&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;City&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Written By &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Shubham Lingayat.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encouraged By &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;RDudeSoft, Inc&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.urdude.tk/feeds/6305445381001403498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.urdude.tk/2016/05/my-city-clean-city.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4158824993112468644/posts/default/6305445381001403498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4158824993112468644/posts/default/6305445381001403498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.urdude.tk/2016/05/my-city-clean-city.html' title='My City, Clean City'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158824993112468644.post-2706906680948027288</id><published>2016-05-02T23:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2016-05-03T00:05:54.464-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="A  comparison between win 10"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="An Rithvik Dude Creation."/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="win 8 and win 7: Choose Windows : Windows"/><title type='text'>Confused Between Windows 7, 8, 10</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rithvikdude.wix.com/helper&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;RDudeSoft&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;always @&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;ur&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;service !&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; Hello, I was just confused between Win 10 , Win 8 and 7. But this systematic comparison given below cleared my understanding !&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Windows 10 launched on July 29th and has already been downloaded over 14 million times. But why? Microsoft&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;’s decision to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;make Windows 10 free plays a big part (especially given&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;warnings to wait) but it is also just the tip of the iceberg.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;So let’s weigh up the main differences between Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows 8. There are a large number of pros but also some significant&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;cons&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;, including a few potential deal breakers.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;1. What Makes Windows 10 Worth The Upgrade&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cost – While some Windows 7 and Windows 8 users will not get Windows 10 free , for the vast majority there is no cost to upgrading whatsoever. On paper this is a great deal because Windows 10 is not cheap and ‘Windows 10 Home’ and ‘Windows 10 Pro’ editions retail for $119 and $199 respectively.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;By contrast Windows 7 and Windows 8 have not been made free by Microsoft following Windows 10’s release and the company has no plans to make them so. Consequently even if you revert back to Windows 7 or Windows 8 in time, it would seem to make sense to take your free Windows 10 upgrade while it lasts .&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Longer Support - Another key reason for getting the latest edition of Windows is Microsoft will support it for longer than both Windows 7 and Windows 8. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Windows&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lifecycle&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;page (screen grab below) breaks this down into two sections: Mainstream Support and Extended Support.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mainstream Support is the deadline for adding new features and functionality which makes it less crucial, but Extended Support is when Microsoft will stop supporting the platform with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;security updates. As you will see Windows 10 gives five more years Extended Support over Windows 7 and two more years over Windows 8:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Windows&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lifecycles&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Image credit Microsoft&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Flexibility And Universal Apps -&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Where Microsoft deserves a lot of credit with Windows 10 is its ambition because the OS will run across all future Microsoft devices from desktops and laptops, to hybrids, tablets and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;smartphones&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The biggest benefits of this are:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;1. Apps in the new Windows Store will run on any device which means a single version of Angry Birds works everywhere.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;2. Microsoft’s ‘Continuum’ feature allows you to potentially connect a phone or tablet to a monitor and keyboard and use it like a PC. Yes Windows 10 really does run through every device and the user interface can adapt to its environment – be that phone, tablet or PC and touch, mouse or keyboard interaction.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Read more- Windows 10: Should You Upgrade?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Gaming - Windows 10 brings with it&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;DirectX&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;12 and for serious gamers this is a must have. Initial reports suggested DX12 would bring a 30-40% performance gain over DX11 and whereas the reality is closer to 10-20% that’s still money for old rope. Windows 7 and Windows 8 will never get access to DX12.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;In addition Windows 10 supports streaming games from an Xbox One. Controllers for the Xbox One are compatible with Windows 10 PCs and you can be playing The&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Witcher&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;3 on your desktop or laptop in minutes. Best of all, Xbox One streaming is fast and responsive and again it will not come to Windows 7 or Windows 8 at a later date.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Windows 10 is the single operating system working across all Microsoft desktops, laptops, tablets and phones&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Search /&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cortana&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;– Windows 8 offers fairly decent online search baked into its controversial Start Screen and Windows 7 only offers local searches (what is on the computer itself), Windows 10 easily trumps them both.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The secret to its success is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cortana&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;, a voice assistant ported over from Windows Phone and whose name comes from the Halo video game franchise. Like&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Siri&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;on iOS and Google Voice Search on Android,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cortana&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;can respond to voice commands and perform everything from quick Internet searches to core tasks around Windows 10 like opening a new email, creating calendar entries and much more.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cortana&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;isn’t perfect, but she/it works pretty well out the gate and will only get better with time.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Edge Browser and Virtual Desktops - I’ve listed these both together as they are catch up features. The Edge browser (which is still feature limited at launch) is Microsoft’s attempt to claw back momentum from Chrome. Edge works significantly faster than Internet Explorer and is only available on Windows 10.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;In addition to this Windows 10 finally adds Virtual Desktops like those long seen on Linux and Mac OS X. These allow users without multi-monitor setups to create multiple virtual desktops which are handy for splitting usage between work and leisure, work into projects or whatever you require. It’s a great feature.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Minimum Requirements - Technically Windows 10 doesn’t win this category, but in requiring a PC with no greater minimum specifications than both two year old Windows 8 and five year old Windows 7 Microsoft deserves great credit. Those specifications:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2GB for 64-bit&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS 20GB for 64-bit OS&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Graphics card:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;DirectX&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;9 or later with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;WDDM&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;1.0 driver&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Display: 800 x 600&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I suspect a major motivator for Microsoft here was that Windows 10 needs to run smoothly on both phones and tablets as well as PCs. That should make it efficient enough to run on most PCs these days, with the exception of some very old Windows XP machines.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Read more – When ‘Free’ Windows 10 Becomes Expensive, You Must Know This&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Security - While both Windows 7 and Windows 8 do a pretty good job of keeping users secure, Windows 10 ups its game with several new features. First is ‘Device Guard’ which blocks zero-day attacks by vetting unsigned software programs and apps. Device Guard can also operate virtually so even if it is compromised a remote version can recognise and neutralise malicious software.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Windows 10 is the single operating system working across all Microsoft desktops, laptops, tablets and phones&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Next is ‘Windows Hello’ which is enhanced biometric support designed to reduce reliance on passwords by using your face, iris, or fingerprint. You’ll need hardware support for this on your device (webcam, fingerprint reader, etc) but initial feedback is it works well and again should improve over the lifetime of Windows 10.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lastly in Windows 10 Microsoft now delivers security patches outside Windows Update so they go straight to your computer the moment they are available. In theory this means Windows 10 computers are always up-to-date which gives hackers a much harder time, even if there are also some notable downsides .&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;In fact, while this list may make upgrades to Windows 10 sound like a no&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;brainer&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;, there are actually serious pitfalls in moving to Microsoft’s latest OS.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;So now here are all the reasons you should stay put on Windows 7 or Windows 8…&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;2. What Makes It Worth Staying On Windows 7 Or Windows 8&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Great as a free price tag, longer support, better apps and gaming, searches and security may sound unfortunately the list where Windows 7 and Windows 8 current beat out Windows 10 is just as strong.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;These are my main concerns:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stability – Right now Windows 10 is brand new and it has launched with a surprisingly large number of bugs which you won’t find in Windows 7 or Windows 8. Among these are disappearing icons from the taskbar, Start Menu lock-ups, Windows Store download bugs, copy and paste errors, problems with audio and more.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;In fact Microsoft is about to release a massive one gigabyte download of bug fixes, which gives you an idea of the scale. The trouble is such numerous patches always bring new bugs of their own. Consequently this isn’t so much a reason never to upgrade to Windows 10, but a good reason not to upgrade to Windows 10 right now.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;By contrast Windows 7 and Windows 8 (despite the latter’s bumpy start) are pretty much rock solid these days.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mandatory Updates – Windows 10 may be more secure and up-to-date because of this, but Microsoft’s decision to force updates upon users also has significant downsides. This has included automatically installing a&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;broken graphics driver which crashed displays, a security patch which crashed Windows Explorer and more.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;By contrast Windows 8 and Windows 7 make all updates optional and you’re alerted to install them. I believe the ideal solution lies halfway between the two: make all updates automatic by default, but give users the option to stop or delay any update categories or individual updates they like. Right now this lack of flexibility makes Windows 10 a deal breaker for some.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Read more – Windows 10 Automatic Updates Causing Serious New Problems&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Windows&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Update’s&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nvidia&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;driver update clashes with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nvidia’s&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;own&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;GeForce&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Experience update software leading to system instability and these contradictory notifications – Image credit Paul&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Monckton&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Brutal Enforcement Policies - Of course mandatory updates have led to many users devising&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;elabourate&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;ways to sidestep Windows 10 patches, but there’s little point in this. Microsoft requires users to accept these terms in its Windows 10 EULA (end user licence agreement) and security updates now sidestep Windows Update and are installed to all versions of Windows 10 without warning.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Meanwhile driver and feature updates through Windows Update can be delayed up to one month by Windows 10 Home users (the vast majority of consumers) and eight months by Windows 10 Pro customers (most businesses), but after that time Microsoft will cut off the next round of updates (including security patches) from users until they accept the previous ones.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Windows 7 and Windows 8 have had similar policies for major updates in the past (Service Packs in Windows 7, and the Windows 8.1 update) but a user doesn’t face a ticking clock for every single update – big or small – as with Windows 10.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Interestingly Microsoft recently released a tool for uninstalling bad updates on Windows 10 which suggests its stance may be softening, but the tool only works after updates are installed which isn’t much use if a bad one stops your PC from booting.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Privacy - If the enforcement policies were tough, however, they have nothing on the privacy violations Microsoft requests in the Windows 10 EULA. A notable section reads:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;“We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Needless to say “necessary” is a crucial qualifier and this should mean Microsoft won’t violate your privacy for no reason, but that all comes down to trust – and there’s not a great deal of that going around in a post-&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Snowden&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;world.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Windows 10 is a smart mix of the new and the familiar&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ease of Use - In fairness Windows 7 is so ubiquitous that Windows 10 was never going to be more intuitive to use than its much loved forebear. That said Windows 10 is more intuitive than Windows 8 and much of that comes down to the return of the Start Menu. Consequently Windows 10 is a great blend of the advancements of Windows 8 and the familiarity of Windows 7, but sight of Windows 8 elements (and there are many) will still be too much for some.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Windows 10 also needs greater consistency across its user interface as there is still a jarring transition between traditional desktop settings like the Control Panel and settings pushed into the Modern UI. Microsoft really needs to get this sorted out and it should’ve been by now.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lost Features - This won’t affect too many users, but the fact is Windows 10 does kill some features Windows 7 and Windows 8 users consider essential.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The big one is Windows Media Center which is a mainstay in some home media setups, while there’s also no native DVD playback (Microsoft is reconsidering this), no desktop gadgets and no floppy drive support. Meanwhile games like Solitaire have been removed and are now ad supported from the Windows Store with payment required to remove them.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Read more – Windows 10 Upgrades Explained: Who Gets It Free?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Broadband Hog – While Windows 10’s mandatory update policy has split opinions, a far less widely reported issue is also taking place: the new OS uses a peer-to-peer (p2p) update distribution system called ‘Windows Update Delivery Optimization’ (&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;WUDO&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The benefit of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;WUDO&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;is that once one Windows 10 device has downloaded the latest updates it will automatically distribute them to other PCs on your network, saving time. The problem is your PC will also start to share this update with other PCs around the world that still need it. This takes the pressure off Microsoft’s servers but also means Windows 10 will consume more of your bandwidth than Windows 7 or Windows 8, neither of which do this.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The good news for those on metered connections is this can be changed by going to:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Settings &amp;gt; Update &amp;amp; Security &amp;gt; the Windows Update section &amp;gt; Advanced options&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Select PCs on my local network only for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;WUDO&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;to only be used for your PCs, or&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Switch it off so each PC has to get their own downloads&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;While the option to disable is nice,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;WUDO&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;is another example of where Microsoft should be more transparent with Windows 10 and let them know upfront what their devices will be doing behind their backs by default.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Windows 7 and 8 users are now prompted to get Windows 10&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bottom Line&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Given the way Windows operating systems evolve over their&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;lifecycles&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;, it is impossible right now to overly praise or damn Windows 10 but we can start drawing conclusions compared to the differences between it and its predecessors.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;My personal feeling is that Windows 10 is an improvement on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 and in time it will be considered one of the great Microsoft releases. That said Windows 10 launches with more bugs than it should and (while Microsoft has crafted a super OS) it is also the most controlling and invasive version of Windows the company has ever released and a compromise does need to be found long term.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;All of which means Windows 10 is both the best and most troubling Windows version I’ve used. Those determined to be on the cutting edge will upgrade and love it, but those more wedded to Windows 7 and Windows 8 should wait a little longer. The Windows 10 free purchase period lasts until July 29th 2016 for eligible users so there is time to see whether Microsoft can address the differences which make Windows 10 worse than its predecessors compared to those that make it shine.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Source :&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/08/02/windows-10-vs-windows-8-vs-windows-7-whats-the-difference/#617630bb5dd2&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Forbes.com&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;

Easy to find free one just google it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Once you run the editor, load up the DLLs, and search for &quot;96 00 00 00 C8 00 00 00&quot; without the quotes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Then, replace the 96 and c8 with 01.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. You should now have &quot;01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Don&#39;t touch anything else, just save your file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TO REMOVE LAG FROM GAME SCREEN&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;First run the game once. Now follow the below steps&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to your game folder. Search for swiftshader.ini. Edit it using notepad. Now insert new settings like this:&lt;br /&gt;(Edit the values as shown below , don&#39;t copy and paste the values because it may not work then)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Capabilities]&lt;br /&gt;PixelShaderVersion=30&lt;br /&gt;VertexShaderVersion=30&lt;br /&gt;TextureMemory=256&lt;br /&gt;Identifier=0&lt;br /&gt;[Caches]&lt;br /&gt;VertexRoutineCacheSize=2048&lt;br /&gt;PixelRoutineCacheSize=2048&lt;br /&gt;SetupRoutineCacheSize=2048&lt;br /&gt;VertexCacheSize=128&lt;br /&gt;[Quality]&lt;br /&gt;TextureSampleQuality=0&lt;br /&gt;MipmapQuality=0&lt;br /&gt;PerspectiveCorrection=0&lt;br /&gt;TranscendentalPrecision=0&lt;br /&gt;TransparencyAntialiasing=0&lt;br /&gt;[Processor]&lt;br /&gt;ThreadCount=2&lt;br /&gt;EnableSSE3=1&lt;br /&gt;EnableSSSE3=1&lt;br /&gt;EnableSSE4_1=1&lt;br /&gt;[Optimization]&lt;br /&gt;OptimizationPass1=1&lt;br /&gt;OptimizationPass2=0&lt;br /&gt;OptimizationPass3=0&lt;br /&gt;OptimizationPass4=0&lt;br /&gt;OptimizationPass5=0&lt;br /&gt;OptimizationPass6=0&lt;br /&gt;OptimizationPass7=0&lt;br /&gt;OptimizationPass8=0&lt;br /&gt;OptimizationPass9=0&lt;br /&gt;OptimizationPass10=0&lt;br /&gt;[Testing]&lt;br /&gt;DisableServer=0&lt;br /&gt;ForceWindowed=0&lt;br /&gt;ComplementaryDepthBuffer=0&lt;br /&gt;PostBlendSRGB=0&lt;br /&gt;ExactColorRounding=0&lt;br /&gt;DisableAlphaMode=1&lt;br /&gt;Disable10BitMode=1&lt;br /&gt;FrameBufferAPI=0&lt;br /&gt;Precache=0&lt;br /&gt;ShadowMapping=3&lt;br /&gt;[LastModified]&lt;br /&gt;Time=1319633502&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f1c232;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;NO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #a64d79;&quot;&gt;TE : INSTEAD OF USING NOTEPAD USE NOTEPAD++&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f1c232;

The keyboard is much like the older G710+, with just a couple differences, only one of which is particularly noteworthy.&lt;br /&gt;The G710+ came with Cherry MX Brown switches, along with O-rings around every key to dampen the sound of bottoming keys out. It was built to be a silent gaming keyboard, because at the time mechanical keyboards were known to be particularly loud. &lt;br /&gt;Now, it&#39;s not as if mechanical keyboards have become more silent since, but the Cherry MX Brown switch has been growing in popularity, particularly because it shows that a mechanical keyboard doesn&#39;t &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; to be loud. In that regard, one could argue that the G710 takes a step backwards with Cherry MX Blue mechanical switches, which have both tactile and auditory feedback, and are therefore louder. That&#39;s not necessarily a bad thing, though, as the auditory feedback does have a certain charm to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Thank you....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;PLS COMMENT.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.urdude.tk/feeds/1127873740217535345/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.urdude.tk/2014/10/logitechs-keyboard-logitechs-new-g710.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4158824993112468644/posts/default/1127873740217535345'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4158824993112468644/posts/default/1127873740217535345'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.urdude.tk/2014/10/logitechs-keyboard-logitechs-new-g710.html' title='Logitech`s G710'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158824993112468644.post-7629418281262882485</id><published>2014-10-28T08:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2014-10-28T08:40:42.950-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Windows 8</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;h2 align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3d85c6;&quot;&gt;Windows 8&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d-nbA0Xnj3M/VE-2d8p6wbI/AAAAAAAAACw/IJMmatBqhR8/s1600/Win%2B8.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d-nbA0Xnj3M/VE-2d8p6wbI/AAAAAAAAACw/IJMmatBqhR8/s1600/Win%2B8.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Hiiiiii......Friends......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Friends I have Windows 8.

Although reaction towards its performance improvements, security enhancements, and improved support for touchscreen devices was positive, the new user interface of the operating system was widely criticized for being potentially confusing and difficult to learn (especially when used with a keyboard and mouse instead of a touchscreen). Despite these shortcomings, 60 million Windows 8 licenses have been sold through January 2013, a number which included both upgrades and sales to &lt;a class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OEM&quot; title=&quot;OEM&quot;&gt;OEMs&lt;/a&gt; for new PCs.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-9&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8#cite_note-9&quot;&gt;[9]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On October 17, 2013, Microsoft released &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8.1&quot; title=&quot;Windows 8.1&quot;&gt;Windows 8.1&lt;/a&gt;.

Called PlayStation TV, this device brings PlayStation content to your HDTV such as “hundreds” of games, movies, TV episodes and more offered on the PlayStation Store. The system starts at $99.99.&lt;br /&gt;Sony’s new set-top box measures 2.6 x 4.1 x .5 inches and weighs around 3.9 ounces. The device includes a PlayStation Vita card slot, a memory card slot, one USB port, one HDMI port, and an Ethernet port. The innards are similar to the PlayStation Vita: four Cortex-A9 cores, four PowerVR SGX543MP4-plus GPU cores, 512 MB of RAM, 128 GB of VRAM, and 1 GB of internal storage.&lt;br /&gt;In addition to those specs, the PlayStation TV &quot;mini-console&quot; also includes Wireless N and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR connectivity, access to PlayStation Now, and the ability to stream games from the PlayStation 4 via Remote Play. The box is compatible with DualShock 3 and DualShock 4 controllers, as well as the PlayStation Vita.&lt;br /&gt;According to the blog, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.playstation.com/en-us/explore/psnow/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;PlayStation Now&lt;/a&gt; is currently available in most areas of the United States and Canada. This game streaming service will launch with popular titles such as &lt;em&gt;Sly Cooper: HD Collection, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Ratchet &amp;amp; Clank: Into the Nexus, &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; Ratchet &amp;amp; Clank: Full Frontal Assault&lt;/em&gt;. The PlayStation Now website also mentions &lt;em&gt;Final Fantasy XIII, Dead Island: Riptide, Killzone 3, Darksiders II, &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Guacamelee&lt;/em&gt;. More than 150 games are coming to the service.&lt;br /&gt;For a complete list of games that are compatible with the set-top-box, &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5376&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;head here&lt;/a&gt;. The list includes PlayStation Vita games, Vita demos and trials, PSP games, PlayStation One classics, PlayStation Minis, and PlayStation Mobile games.&lt;br /&gt;Will Sony fans buy into the PlayStation TV set-top box? That remains to be seen, but the device is certainly packed with potential. With all those games ready to roll out of the box, and with support for PlayStation Now and Remote Play compatibility with the PlayStation 4, fans of the PlayStation brand should devour this device in no time. &lt;br /&gt;The PlayStation blog also reports that Sony will be selling a PlayStation TV bundle this holiday season that includes the PlayStation TV device, a DualShock 3 controller, a memory card with 8 GB of space, and a voucher to download &lt;em&gt;The Lego Movie Videogame&lt;/em&gt; (fun!) for free. This bundle will cost $139.99, whereas the micro-console costs $99.99 by itself.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you...&lt;br /&gt;COMMET....&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.urdude.tk/feeds/5195702374016128779/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.urdude.tk/2014/10/sonys-playstation-tv-set-top-box.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4158824993112468644/posts/default/5195702374016128779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4158824993112468644/posts/default/5195702374016128779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.urdude.tk/2014/10/sonys-playstation-tv-set-top-box.html' title='Sony&#39;s PlayStation TV Set Top Box'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6JGDuJ7ofZY/VE-eOKWZ7DI/AAAAAAAAACg/CMiW4kw5tro/s72-c/Sony.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158824993112468644.post-1223414545706635523</id><published>2014-10-28T03:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2014-10-28T03:30:00.103-07:00</updated><title type='text'>SciEntific Humans</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;h2 align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e06666;&quot;&gt;SciEntific Humans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gi-IQ05itK8/VE9wFV4_7BI/AAAAAAAAACQ/JHvQyUD-Kj4/s1600/tech2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gi-IQ05itK8/VE9wFV4_7BI/AAAAAAAAACQ/JHvQyUD-Kj4/s1600/tech2.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Hiii....

With the help of 3DA you can change different graphic options  under  DirectX 8 and OpenGL. 3DA changes different CAP-bits for example,  if a game  requires HW T&amp;amp;L 3DA emulates these bits and the games runs  on graphic  boards which don’t have HW T&amp;amp;L capabilities. 3DA doesn’t  emulate any  features in software(except cube mapping, which is done  with a simple 2D  texture), like Pixel or Vertex Shader. 3DA is also a  very nice tool for  benchmarking. It generates detailed log files (CSV)  with FPS and other  parameters.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;In  simple terms, 3D-Analyzer is a tool that can emulate certain graphics   options that would typically require a dedicated graphics card; graphics that  many integrated chips and older graphics cards are not capable of. So, for  example, if you have an outdated graphics card, or  an integrated one, it might  not support some graphics options such as  Pixel Shader 2.0, or hardware TnL  (not to worry, you don’t need to know  what these mean). Certain 3D games  require these, and are not playable  without them (like when you have audio but  all you see is a blank  screen). 3D-Analyzer can help bypass these restrictions  and enable you  to play that game you’ve always wanted to play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;AND PLS COMMENT....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more at &lt;a href=&quot;http://dottech.org/20971/enhance-graphics-performance-with-3d-analyzer-a-graphics-card-emulator/#cjKP0p0l8Sq0YXvZ.99&quot;&gt;http://dottech.org/20971/enhance-graphics-performance-with-3d-analyzer-a-graphics-card-emulator/#cjKP0p0l8Sq0YXvZ.99&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.urdude.tk/feeds/4699066655001607658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.urdude.tk/2014/10/3d-analyser.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4158824993112468644/posts/default/4699066655001607658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4158824993112468644/posts/default/4699066655001607658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.urdude.tk/2014/10/3d-analyser.html' title='Software For Low PCS'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LrzzNmAvRII/VE9gKOca8aI/AAAAAAAAAB0/KlgEzDaevHM/s72-c/3D.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158824993112468644.post-4111273179667249770</id><published>2014-10-28T01:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2018-03-15T02:03:05.757-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Software for Low End PCs (Swift Shader 3.0/3.3) Latest</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Swift Shader 3.0/3.3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Friends I have used &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #351c75;&quot;&gt;SWIFT SHADER 3.0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; it is awesome....
