I installed Game Bar, but haven't been able to launch it either.

This is the app link for Game Bar at the Windows Store.

microsoft.com

I'm running 1809 of Win10.

I just tried it on my Insiders version of Win 10 which shows the exact same build as yours and it works on that system... Wish it worked with regular apps too.

Now I see I don't meet the Xbox One requirement.

It should say or Xbox One. I don't have one, but Game Bar works on some of my PCs. It should work on all of them based on the build number. But I only use a few UWP apps, so it's application is limited. Don't know many people that would want to watch me working on a Sudoku...

Maybe Game Bar doesn't like my 740 video card.

I don't think that is the reason, because I see it works on laptops with only CPU integrated graphics.

The motherboard is an AsRock Killer with 32GB RAM and an FX-8350.

Never have run into anything I couldn't run with it, but don't game.

The most-clicked phishing lines of 2018



Security awareness training company KnowBe4 has put together its latest list of the most-clicked phishing subject lines.

Popular categories for phishing messages include, deliveries, passwords, company policies, vacations and IT department. Other popular keywords are, Amazon, Wells Fargo and Microsoft.

"Clicking an email is as much about human psychology as it is about accomplishing a task," says Perry Carpenter, chief evangelist and strategy officer at KnowBe4. "The fact that we saw 'password' subject lines clicked four out of four quarters shows us that users are concerned about security. Likewise, users clicked on messages about company policies and deliveries each quarter showing a general curiosity about issues that matter to them. Knowing this information gives corporate IT departments tangible data to share with their users and to help them understand how to think before they click."

You can see a full list of the most-clicked subjects and a list of some in the wild attacks in the infographic below.

Intel Reportedly Gearing Up For Major 7nm EUV Expansion at D1X Fab
By Joel Hruska on January 23, 2019

extremetech.com

If a new report is accurate, Intel won’t allow its 14nm shortage or 10nm struggles to keep it from pushing ahead in overall chip manufacturing. Over the last few months, the company has taken several steps to address its 14nm production shortfall, including shipping a new line of recently announced ‘KF’ microprocessors without a functional GPU onboard. Now, there are reports that it’s planning to break ground on a major 7nm manufacturing expansion as well.

This news comes from The Oregonian and follows an earlier Intel announcement that it would expand its facilities in Oregon, Israel, and Ireland. A major commitment to build out the D1X fab would make sense — as we wrote last month, it wasn’t clear where Intel was going to commit to doing that work. The exact value of the deal is unclear, but fab expansions typically cost several billion dollars and the large-scale adoption of EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography) can be expected to add additional cost. The new fab space would reportedly be the same size as the first two phases of the plant, at 1.1 million square feet.

While GlobalFoundries is no longer planning to build out its EUV installation, I had the chance to see its facilities while they were still under construction in February 2018. The amount of additional work required to outfit a fab for EUV is extensive. Retrofitting these capabilities into existing buildings is neither simple nor cheap and it may make the most sense to deploy EUV concurrently with other expansion plans where and when it is possible to do so. The Oregonian reports that Intel has told its contractors to expect an 18-month contract cycle, followed by several months of additional equipment installation. If accurate, this suggests a fairly significant capacity buildout.

Intel has largely avoided talking about specific timelines attached to 7nm. The company is well aware that customers aren’t inclined to trust its projections after repeated 10nm slips and is focused on getting that node out the door right now. The most Intel has stated is that it is “very focused on getting 7 out according to our original internal plans.” Given how much 10nm slipped over time, it’s not even clear what Intel’s “original plans” look like these days. Given the timelines under discussion and the bring-up time associated with firing up a new fab, a mid-2019 announcement with a 24-30 month timeline from breaking ground to full production would put EUV rolling out at Intel by mid-2021 or early 2022. Just remember that Intel doesn’t necessarily need to launch EUV from D1X, which means we could see an earlier introduction if the technology tips up from a different fab first.

Note: (extreme ultraviolet lithography) is where they use ultraviolet light to reduce a mask pattern with photo lithography to expose patterns on the silicon substrate. We used 10x photo-reduction, but Intel may be different.

Size of the Nanoscale


  • A sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick

  • A strand of human DNA is 2.5 nanometers in diameter

  • There are 25,400,000 nanometers in one inch

  • A human hair is approximately 80,000 - 100,000 nanometers wide

  • A single gold atom is about a third of a nanometer in diameter

  • On a comparative scale, if the diameter of a marble was one nanometer, then diameter of the Earth would be about one meter

  • One nanometer is about as long as your fingernail grows in one second
