TRADE OFFER - I give you security, and you give me your precious frames
A new Microslop update’s directly hurting gaming performance on older CPU’s for the sake of protecting your machine against sketchy internet riffraff, and before you immediately write it off - it actually kinda seems worth it
What’s being called Memory Integrity Protection is a kernel level safeguard that literally just kinda makes your system safer without you having to do anything
It’s great for offices with loads of computers that can all receive simultaneous security updates, and the CPU virtualization-based security makes it extra hard for AI-assisted attacks to make it into your computer - which is effectively exactly what Windows is trying to prevent here, so even if you DO take a performance hit, it’s PROBABLY worth it to keep it enabled
What’s also worth it is joining our PC giveaways over on our Twitch channels, too, so I’ll see yinz over there
