  • Yeah not really sure how my comment ended up where it is. Connect stacks comments in a weird way and I must have clicked reply in the wrong place.

    I was replying to this …

    Is there really still such a market for Intel CPUs? I do not understand that AMDs Zen is so much better and is the superior technology since almost a decade now.

    …Which up untill this issue was NOT true. The entire Zen 2 line was a step behind the Intel chips that released at the same times as it.

    I’ve been running a 3600x for years now and love it … But a i5-10600k that came out at the same time absolutely smashes it in performance.










  • I know exactly how it works. I use it every day. I never said it isnt easy. I said it’s more steps to set it up.

    Rufus: run exe, pick iso, run it

    Ventoy: run exe to install it, run it to configure the drive, copy ISOs over to the drive

    For setting up a drive that’s going to be used repeatedly and continually changing what’s on it, Ventoy is the superior tool.

    For a one time use to quickly get a ISO over to a USB… Rufus is quicker and gets the job done.

    …and again…OP already has Rufus in hand. There’s no reason to get another piece of software that doesn’t offer any advantage to OP’s task.




  • If this lets you monitor the patch status of the end clients in your org, then it’s actually cheaper than existing solutions used for managing regular Windows updates.

    The only questionable part is how reliable, trustworthy, and secure is 0patch themselves?

    Allowing a third party access to patch system level files opens the risk of a rootkit install. (In fact their agent being able to access system would function much like a rootkit itself).

    They could easily backdoor something into thousands, or even tens of thousands of PC very quickly. Make a huge botnet, steal data, etc, etc.

    Assuming they are trustworthy themselves, if their security is compromised, either from hackers or even a rogue employee, the same results could happen and could take a long time to discover.
