  • You could try using Linux. It doesn't have 1/100th of the virus/malware problems that windows does.

    Theres not much reason to stay beholden to windows these days unless you're the sort of person that kept paying AOL until 2010

    Yeah but linux isnt very optimized for gpu intensive applications. ?

  • Everyone and their brother claims they need some special windows only software. You don't. Steve is a career musician its conceivable that he does.

    Did "gpu intensive applications" go over ur head?

  • If you believe all the claims then Israel hacked Kaspersky, which was hacking an NSA employee who had stolen NSA hacks, while being hacked by Russia which was hacked by the NSA, while the NSA was warned by Israel about Russian hacks.

    Or maybe, just maybe, it's yet more BS spin.

    You do realize that the owner of Kaspersky offered to provide his source code for free for government evaluation and offered to testify to Congress? And he was.... turned down on both counts. [Hint: Because they know it's a transparently BS claim.]

    1) U.S. and British spies systematically target all anti-virus products and companies.. and the "actual" fact is that they regard Kaspersky as a hindrance to their hacking.

    2) If the story were true the NSA would have reacted immediately.. by banning all Kaspersky products from U.S. government systems. But the story they're continuing to promote is.. The NSA allowed the Russian government, for more than a year, to sniff through all systems of the more than two dozen American government agencies (including the military) which use the Kaspersky products?

    Nope. Not true in the slightest.
