Well looks like start of i9-9900K couldn’t be worse but truth is that it is.

I recently found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGHiRrQ2AAo and this video discussed why some reviewers measured much higher power consumption that others.

In short if you have motherboard with 4 VRM phases then CPU will stay in 95W TDP and limiting it boost clock speed to 4.2 GHz (instead of 4.7 GHz). While if you have decent motherboard, it will go to 150W TDP and thus requiring high end cooling solution and obviously expensive motherboard. So, while technically 4 VRM phases still supports 9900K performance will be reduced to around 7-13% (7% for cold and 13% for continuous run when board is hot). And good example

Android was beautiful idea: mobile operating system is free and open source, so everyone can contribute and make it better for all.

Unfortunately, as with most open source project it has a lot of issues in areas that nobody wants to work because it is boring, not really visible or has hard to measure effect. Other lacking areas where someone needs to make important and impactful decision, and everyone will accept it.

But before I start I would like to mention that I don’t have a lot of experience with Android, but I spent quite a bit of time to solve these issues. For some of these I found and for some I didn’t find any solutions. Some problems could

Update 22 Oct: Please check update here as well.

Yesterday Intel released “new” generation of CPU’s and I would like to talk about top CPU in this “new” generation.

But firstly, I would like to mention that it is actually not new. It is pretty much same as 8000 series with minor tuning. They just finally able to increase core count.

You can watch review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I--zROoRws

To be honest to me it made strange impression.

9900K costs $580 while top AMD cost $304. Intel has no cooling and it is quite hot. From watching different reviews looks like Intel needs high end cooling and many reviewers recommend around $100 cooling solutions. AMD on other end have quite

I would like to talk about another feature that by some reason was changed in Windows 10 for worst. This is Caps Lock indicator.

Firstly, I would like to setup context here. You as user powered on your computer and waiting for login screen to type your password so you can do something on computer. So finally, login screen is here and you are typing your password.

Let’s see how it looks in previous version of windows. First will be Windows 7 because it is installed on many computers. Here is how Login screen looks when Caps Lock is on:

As you can see you can clearly see that there is yellow

As you probably know I own Microsoft Office 365 subscription. And one of the benefits that you got all new functionality updates that is released by Microsoft for free. And initially I actually got Office 2016, but it slowly transformed itself to Microsoft Office 365. And it is good thing and I saw a lot of changes small and big, useful and not so. But there is one moment that is really annoying during update to new version.

Update 17 Oct: I got issue with my hosting and I immediately got email that site is down and in one minute later I got notification that it is up again. So email notification is actually working.

If you have web site in internet sooner or later, you would like to setup monitoring to ensure that site is working and responsive.

Also, if you have site that has low number of visitors then on many hosting platforms your site will be unloaded after some inactive time. And usually startup time is quite long. Depending on hosting, software you are using and how big is your site startup speeds can be quite long. It can be 1-2 seconds long to up

In short Intel ordered review of new Intel i9-9900K CPU for company that called Principled Technologies and allow it to publish result good 10 days before anybody else can publish own reviews because they are tied under NDA. In few days Intel published it on their own web site.

As you can see first problem here that Intel allowed publishing results way before other independent from Intel companies can publish their results. And a lot of websites simply repost this news because they

Pretty much from beginning of using Windows 10 I don’t like how it installs updates. Microsoft have to solve two different problems:

  • Promptly install important updates that includes critical security fixes
  • Install updates in the way that is least interrupting user work

To be honest Microsoft only solved first problem. Second problem works kind of opposite. Let’s discuss it in detail.

In the beginning Windows 10 was just install updates at time when Windows 10 likes. I heard many times from my colleagues that they connected notebook to projector and Windows 10 started to install updates for like 2 hours. It still doing it in cases when notebook was switched off for few weeks. We don’t use notebooks
