Hike in Windows 10's minimum spec could torpedo low-end PCs
By Darren Allan 26 May 2016
Will affect those using the 32-bit version of Windows 10
Microsoft is planning considerable changes with the incoming Anniversary Update which is expected to land late July, but what you probably didn't know is that one element of the minimum spec for the OS will be upped.
As the Inquirer reports, after the upgrade, the minimum amount of system memory required to run Windows 10 will be 2GB for the 32-bit version of the OS rather than 1GB, meaning it will be the same as it currently is for the 64-bit version. No other spec changes are being made.
Your 1GB machine could possibly still function with 32-bit Windows 10, but will doubtless struggle a great deal more particularly when multitasking.
You can always upgrade your memory of course, which may not be a particularly expensive or difficult prospect for some, although some notebooks or other devices like tablets may prove a lot more problematic to boost up to the required level (or indeed impossible in some cases), leaving owners of such hardware in a very uncomfortable position.
And probably wishing they didn't upgrade to Windows 10, if they made the move from Windows 7/8.1 earlier this year or last year.
Shoring up security
The Anniversary Update for Windows 10 will likely be unleashed on the one-year anniversary of the release of the OS, which would make sense, and as we reported earlier today, the update will soon be being tested by Windows Insiders.
Also on the one-year anniversary of the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft is furthermore planning to make it compulsory that new PCs come with TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 2.0 for better security – this is more secure than TPM 1.2 and includes support for SHA-256 hashing.
That will only affect vendors producing new PCs, of course, although there will be one exception: TPM will still remain optional for devices running Windows 10 IoT Core like the Raspberry Pi.

Three-peat: Tiger Woods clinches Presidents Cup for U.S.
Tiger Woods didn't have his best game in Sunday's single matches — and his back started acting up on no. 14 — but he had just enough left to close out Richard Sterne 1 up on the 18th hole and secure the winning point for the Americans for the third consecutive Presidents Cup.
Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner started slow, going 2 down through 7 to Richard Sterne and Marc Leishman in Saturday's foursomes (fourth round). However, the momentum shifted when Dufner, aka Duff Daddy the ballstriking savant, knocked it to two feet on the par-3 8th, giving Zach just a kick-in two-footer for birdie. From there, the Americans were six-under in the next seven holes, making them pretty much invincible.
To top it off, Johnson hit a 117-yard shot and jarred it for an eagle on the par-5 no. 15. Sterne threw up a hail mary from the greenside bunker to try and match Zach's eagle and, but to no avail.
The horn sounded at 3:09pm at Muirfield Village, suspending Friday's foursomes session — which might sound familiar because play was halted at 2:38pm on Thursday.
It might also be reminiscent of The Memorial Tournament held here at Muirfield Village in late May/early June every season, which isn't The Memorial without weather delays. Actually, the PGA Tour's ongoing battle with inclement weather causing the suspension of play has truly been the theme of the year.

Special Agent David Raynor was "stabbed multiple times" and "shot twice with his own weapon," according to local media reports.
Raynor's tragic death comes just one day before he was due to testify before a US Federal Grand Jury.
Raynor's wife, Donna Fisher, was also found dead at the scene. An autopsy will be completed to determine the exact cause of death, according to police.
Authorities, who are offering a $215,000 reward for tips in Suiter's killing, have struggled to understand what happened. The detective was shot with his own gun, which was found at the scene. Two other shots were fired from the gun, and Davis said there were signs of a brief struggle.
Special Agent Raynor's suspicious death is the latest in a sequence of disturbing deaths in Baltimore connected to the Clinton/Obama cover-up of Operation Fast and Furious.
When President Trump took power, the US Justice Department opened another investigation into Operation Fast and Furious as it pertained to the Baltimore Police Department and impaneled a US Federal Grand Jury.
One of the main witnesses was Detective Sean Suiter, an 18-year veteran of the FBI.
However, Detective Suiter was gunned down in November, in eerily similar circumstances to Special Agent Raynor, also one day before he could testify.
Special Agent Raynor was leading US Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's and FBI Director Christopher Wray's investigation into the murder of Detective Sean Suiter, who he believed was silenced before he could testify that the Obama administration was criminally complicit in allowing guns to flow into the hands of criminals on the Mexican border.
These guns were involved in the murder of a US Federal Officer, among others, and is seen by investigators as the "Achilles heel of the Obama regime," because the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry is one of but a very few Obama administration crimes that have no statute of limitations as it involved the killing of a US Federal Officer.
Leaked Wikileaks emails also prove Hillary Clinton was fully knowledgeable about the crime—thus making her liable to criminal charges.
Last's week's bombshell Inspector General's reports have exposed yet more Hillary Clinton and Obama Administration crimes.
The report, that was released last Thursday, revealed that the FBI had discovered evidence that Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation had committed "sexual crimes against children."
The report also shows that Obama lied to cover-up parts of these investigations that exposed child trafficking.
However, the IG report proves that the evidence of these crimes has been covered-up and swept under the carpet by those acting at the highest levels.

Credit Union Ratings
MASS BAY
SOUTH BOSTON, MA
MASS BAY is a SOUTH BOSTON, MA-based, NCUA-insured credit union dating back to 1936. Regulatory filings show the credit union having assets of $248.8 million, as of December 31, 2017.
Members have $196.6 million on deposit tended by 57 full-time employees. With that footprint, the credit union currently holds loans and leases worth $196.6 million. Its 18,859 members currently have $196.3 million in shares with the credit union.
Overall, Bankrate believes that, as of December 31, 2017, MASS BAY exhibited a good condition, earning 4 out of 5 stars for safety and soundness. Here's a breakdown of how the credit union faired on the three major criteria Bankrate used to grade American credit unions.
SAFE AND SOUND?
TODAY'S SAVINGS RATES
THE INSTITUTION'S SCORE
Capital Score
When it comes to measuring a credit union's financial strength, capital is crucial. It acts as a cushion against losses and affords protection for members when a credit union is struggling financially. From a safety and soundness perspective, the higher the capital, the better.
MASS BAY received a score of 10 out of a possible 30 points on our test to measure capital adequacy, coming in below the national average of 15.65.
MASS BAY had a capitalization ratio of 10.00 percent in our test, worse than the average for all credit unions, a sign that it's less well prepared for financial trouble than its peers.
Asset Quality Score
This test is intended to estimate how the credit union's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization could be affected by troubled assets, such as unpaid mortgages.
A credit union with large numbers of these types of assets could eventually have to use capital to cover losses, shrinking its equity cushion. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning interest for the credit union, pushing down earnings and elevating the risk of a future failure.
On Bankrate's test of asset quality, MASS BAY scored 40 out of a possible 40 points, exceeding the national average of 38.09 points.
MASS BAY's ratio of troubled assets was 0.00 percent in our test, lower than the national average and suggestive of greater financial strength than other credit unions.
Earnings score
How successful a credit union is at making money affects its safety and soundness. A credit union can retain its earnings, giving a boost to its capital buffer, or put them to work addressing problematic loans, likely making the credit union more resilient in tough times. Losses, on the other hand, take away from a credit union's ability to do those things.
MASS BAY scored 8 out of a possible 30 on Bankrate's test of earnings, below the national average of 10.11.
One indication that MASS BAY is running ahead of its peers in this area was its earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, better than the average for all credit unions.
WHAT IS SAFE & SOUND?
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.


LONDON — Europeans cannot agree on how to handle a rising China. While European Union leaders were gathering in Brussels recently to discuss a more assertive common approach, Chinese President Xi Jinping was visiting Rome.
LONDON — She has been dubbed the "Queen of Europe" and, since US President Donald Trump's election, the leader of the free world.
LONDON — A big reason why Western politics is in such disarray is voters' pessimism about the future.
Political instability in Italy is nothing new.
So much for the end of history.
Conservative Brexiteers — who campaigned for the United Kingdom to vote to leave the European Union — continue to blather about building an open, outward-looking, free-trading Britain.

One of the Lowcountry's unique experience during the Civil War became known as the Port Royal Experiment, which began when Union forces occupied Lowcountry islands in 1861 where approximately 10,000 enslaved people lived. It was a moment of immense joy for many African Americans as the freedom they had long prayed for seemed to finally have arrived. Upon hearing shots fired nearby, Wallace Quarterman recalled the events unfolding on his plantation on St. Simons Island:
"And he call me and told me to run down in the field and tell Peter [the driver] to turn the people loose, that the Yankee coming. And so I run down in the field and, and whooped and holler, they done, he done told them Mr. Gaeggles (?) said turn the people loose because the Yankee coming… And that, the people then throws away their hoe then. They throwed away they hoe, and, and they call we all up, you know and, and give we all freedom because we are just as much as free as them. Now you understand."
Wallace Quaterman, interview with Federal Writers' Project, Georgia, 1935.
Until President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, these African Americans occupied the liminal space between slavery and freedom as military "contraband." After enslavers fled the area, African American people who lived on the islands were assisted by US military forces and private northern philanthropic groups and missions with the goal of transitioning African Americans from enslavement to freedom. For example the white woman Laura Towne helped establish the Penn Missionary School there after arriving in 1862. African Americans were provided with food, clothing, and medical assistance while also being directed by the US military to harvest the valuable sea island cotton. It also became the military's recruiting ground for African American men to join the Union military, which left women to care for their newly freed families. Northern missions were also there to provide education, making those schools South Carolina's first Black schools.

While the goal of many northern missions and philanthropic groups was to transition enslaved people to self-sufficient freedom, the US occupying forces were not prepared for this endeavor, which led to fear and uncertainty among the African American population. Some simply wished all these people would leave. For example the enslaved cook of Laura Towne apparently felt that the local people "would be glad if all the white people would go away and let them live by themselves." And life in refugee camps was harder still. The African American nurse Susie King Taylor described some of the difficulties facing families living in camps on St. Simon's Island in Georgia:
"There were about six hundred men, women and children on St. Simon's, the women and children being in the majority, and we were afraid to go very far from our quarters in the daytime, and at night even to go out of the house for a long time, although the men were on the watch all the time; for there were not many soldiers on the island, only the marines who were on the gunboats along the coast. The rebels, knowing this, could steal by them undercover of the night, and getting on the island would capture any persons venturing out along and carry them to the mainland. Several of the men disappeared, and as they were never heard from we came to the conclusion they had been carried off in this way… The first colored troops did not receive any pay for eighteen months, and the men had to depend wholly on what they received from the commissary, established by General Saxton. A great many of these men had large families, and as they had no money to support them, their wives were obliged to support themselves and children by washing for the officers of the gunboats and the soldiers, and making cakes and pies which they sold to the boys in camp."
Susie King Taylor, Reminiscences of my Life in Camp: An African American Woman's Civil War Memoir (Athens and London: University of Georgia Press, 2006 [1902]), 14-16.
"Proposition to the President to Employ the Emancipated Negroes at Port Royal," Ellis, Britton, and Eaton, Springfield, Vermont, 1863, courtesy of the Library of Congress.
Despite the unsettled nature of transitioning to freedom during war, African Americans living on these Union-occupied sea islands led more autonomous, independent lives. Some families owned and worked their land to provide food for themselves and also sell crops. Others worked on land that had quickly been bought by northerners who then paid African Americans for their agricultural labor. Unhappy with some of the wages and market prices, freedpeople were also experimenting with strikes and bargaining. Their experiences hence contrasted with the suffering, disease, and poverty endured by refugees in Union controlled "contraband" camps elsewhere.
Their experiences also provided a foretaste of how challenging the transition to freedom was for African Americans when the Civil War ended in 1865. Despite the efforts of some whites, much of the land on these sea islands did not end up with African American but with white northerners. Maintaining economic and political control were challenges that continued not only for African Americans families on the sea islands but across the United States.
The Port Royal Experiment also revealed newly freed African Americans' interests. They wanted education and land to pursue their desire for economic and personal independence. Local and federal forces made land ownership difficult to navigate, though some African Americans managed to hold onto their land well after the Civil War and Reconstruction era ended. Their value of education is seen in the survival of schools. The Mather School remained in operation on the island from the 1860s to the 1960s, and the Penn School went on to become the Penn Center, a cultural heritage and community center still open today.
