What is the typical use case for such a thing?

> WireGuard doesn't work over TCP

Can somebody well versed explain what the difference between TCP and UDP in this case? I obviously know what these are, I just don't understand why it's such a debatable choice applied to VPNs.

Is this a new oil? That could speed up the space exploration.

This is suspicious. They have the VPN traffic, now they want passwords. Encrypted of course, but still. The trust just isn't there. The company is too young. I don't trust them just because they have great design and UX.

I don't like that file operations are controlled by F1-F8 keys. This UX is unfriendly to macOS environment. Most users' F-row is in media keys mode by default, so you have to hold Fn otherwise. And I'm not even taking into account the Touch Bar.

Where are these new battery technologies that are invented every 6 months, according to the news?

I think Intel might get away with it.

Last 5 years they were slacking off, because economically there is no reason to go over the usual 10-15% yearly performance bump. But actually they were accumulating aces up their sleeves. Again, no reason to show your hand, if you don't have to.

But the time has come. Right now Intel has 3 major problems: 1) Meltdown/Spectre situation 2) AMD is awoken from sleep with surprisingly good Ryzen lineup 3) Apple craves new powerful CPUs to satisfy unhappy MacBook Pro customers

Intel can fix all of this with one sweep. Just by releasing a brand new CPU that will surprise everyone. Of course with hardware Meltdown/Spectre fix. They were holding off, but it's time to drop all these hidden aces on the table. And I believe it's gonna happen. Not right now with Cannon Lake, but with the one after - Ice Lake on 10nm transistors, by the end of 2018. It's going to be even bigger than NVIDIA's GTX 1080 success.

Does it include patches from wine-staging (CSMT)?
