So my Windows 10 computer regularly wakes up in the middle of the night. Why could be the culprit? A virus? Let us find out with powercfg /lastwake and powercfg /waketimers, as shown here.



So the culprit is unknown, but at least I can rule out a mysterious intruder or a cat. To be continued...

I once had that problem and it was related to the settings of the wireless network card.

Try to find in settings your Ethernet card and find option that prevents it to wake up PC. I really don't remember where exactly is that option.

Geez at the Quantum Break pc performance thread. Apparently the new 12GB Titan X is only maybe barely enough to allow for smooth 1080p60 play on max settings. They really did just compile that thing from xbox into UWP for Windows without any optimization whatsoever, didn't they?

Actually, it was in hibernate mode, but I don't know whether it could explain this strange behavior: from a user perspective, "hibernate mode" is akin to switching the computer off.

Well maybe don't unplug everything. Keep the power plug in at least.

After 5 years of waiting to get a house to have a desktop... It's finally about to start! Parts are coming in. We're closing on the house on the 15th and I won't be back from training until the 22nd. So I'll probably start the build that weekend or earlier. Damn what a awesome month!

There's a bunch a games on STEAM I've been holding off on playing just because I couldn't deal with how my laptop performed. Time to crush that AAA backlog. This will probably get used more for work than play though :(

What a monster. Nice case as well. You gonna wall-mount it?

Good thing it'll be at least 9 or so years before we get that last DLC. Maybe I'll have 100%'ed DR4 by then.

Congrats. Must have been a massive grind. I like how the explosion ripped your clothes off lol

Already posted? Anyway this is crappy. If I gift a game to a dude who gets banned, I won't be able to gift that game again. Valve really does what they want, first the family share thing, now this.

This is just the beginning.

I get their reasoning but there has to be a better way.

It seems heavy-handed but I don't think there's an elegant solution to the problem of people creating alt accounts for the purpose of continuing to cheat. There should be a cooldown on the gifting ban, though (say, three months).

The Family Sharing thing is just a new restriction for unreleased apps. It doesn't actually change anything for regular users as unreleased games have never been shareable, even with a release state override on the sub. Of course, this does raise the question of why Valve decided to apply the exfgls flag to unreleased apps and the only answer I can come up with is that dev subs in particular acted differently.

Mystery Chronicles: One Way Heroics releasing next month and being only 9.99$ + 10% launch discount is amazing news. Thought it would be more expensive.

Arkham Knight worth €7.5?
(I liked what I played of Asylum and City)

If they fixed the issues with performance, I guess? I liked back when I played it but in hindsight it has tons of problems and it's by far the weakest in the series.

Yes. The best one in terms of graphics and gameplay, but I found the story to be extremely underwhelming/not in line of what I expected, and it also by far has the weakest side quests. But worth the €15 I spent on it, so €7,50 would be even more so.

Yeah, this "automated" solution is more efficient and the "better way" I was thinking would require serious man-power. Understandable, just not optimal.

Although I'm not subscribed, seeing as how there hasn't been a bundle for the past two weeks, today's Monthly should be stacked but I'm going to guess it'll be a disappointment.

It better be, they charged me for it last week even though I was very careful to unsubscribe myself after the last one.

I've been so pleased with the last few that this one almost certainly has to be a let down.

Also I had a dream last night that humble bundle said that valve doesn't like them bundling steam keys any more.

Looks like they added Japanese and Traditional Chinese into both Danganronpa games.
That's cool.

And a new elusive target in Hitman, this time back in Paris.
