T- 3 days(or round about), Folding month 2018

Well it is that time again folks. We are now up to 114 sign-ups, damn it is spectacular to see, the only downside is the amount of work I have taken on.  Thanks to Gorgon for helping out to ease some of that! One thing I have to say is once the month is over I really hope to see you guys continuing to fold. We have always punched well above our weight class when it comes to the number of active folders we have compared to the number of points we can churn out on a daily basis. When I first

T- 4 days

Well we are starting to heat up with the WAN show shout out there has been an explosion of people signing up, 94 in all as of time of writing! Please remember guys if you are participating them you need to be folding for the Linus Tech Tips team or your points will not be counted. I have seen a couple others points dip the last day or two, I'm guessing you are either experimenting with your overclocks or you have been having some much needed maintenance, either way, I hope it has been helpful.

My general software development axioms

An assortment of random axioms that I try to think about when doing software development work. The reason why I hold to these usually falls into one of these reasons: Making the most efficient use of my time Minimal need to maintain the code (hopefully, maybe) Ease of maintaining the code Ease of reading and understanding what the code does Finding the best way to make efficient software, without tramping on the above Regarding the software development proc

Why Android Phones are better | A response to LTT video

Throughout friday of last week and this past weekend, many of you replied and told the truth about why you bought an Android phone.   Today I wanted to consolidate what we learned about why people buy Android Phones and to remind people that Android is awesome and nothing Apple fanboys say can take away from that.   Reasons to buy Android phones: * iPhones are too expensive   @Sauron has stated:   @LordOTaco says:   @Spotty explains:

Microsoft's documentation outlining that MS sells customer data collected through MS products and services

As shown in a link at the bottom of this page, Microsoft's own reporting shows that Microsoft is recording data from over 3,100 individual data-points in Windows 10 Home and Pro, even when data-harvesting is set to its absolute minimum configuration.   It is notable that Microsoft was an eager participant in the US government's illegal PRISM spying program, and voluntarily gave its users' and customers' data to the US government without informing their users it was doing so. Certainly,

You legally own the software that you purchase, and any claims otherwise are urban myth or corporate propaganda

Updated August 2020     Some of the bottom part of this post is a paste of a message I sent to Steam support following the seemingly-bullying actions of a Steam forum moderator who has been falsely telling people that Steam rents / leases games through their service and doesn't sell them, and who was intolerant of anybody telling them they're wrong. That moderator liked to do things like delete posts and lock any threads where people demonstrated otherwise.   To be clear

The Core i9 notebook conundrum

Well, that’s not so great.   You might have heard that Apple recently refreshed the MacBook Pros with the new 8th-generation Intel Coffee Lake CPUs, including the top-of-the-line Core i9 8950HK. And you may have also heard that the very same configuration generates so much heat to the point where the MacBook’s chassis and cooling system could simply not handle and resulted in the CPU being unable to maintain base clocks. Obviously, this is quite a big issue and it really begs the quest

Eleven different ways to disable Windows Update in Windows 10 (updated March 2019)

A highly important aspect of owning property, such as your computer hardware, the data on it as well as any data it generates, your Windows operating system, and other software you've purchased, is exclusively being the person that has the authority to make decisions over it, and being able to make the decisions that you know are the best for your situation.   As the European Union and Australia's top courts have ruled, and as even the US Supreme Court has indirectly supported, you own

Is It Time for Me to Drop Amazon?!

Just looked at my new shift at Amazon, and am thinking about applying to either Lowe's or Home Depot for a better shift (with possibly better pay). This would be nice, since those companies might be more flexible with shift hours than Amazon, and that would definitely help with being able to keep a job during the school year. I really would like to have stable income during the year, and leaving Amazon would kinda kill that. If I could get a higher hourly rate from a different company (higher th

Doing circuits and landings...

Today, I was able to fly in both the morning and afternoon.    Our morning flight was delayed by an hour due to fog/mist however it did clear and thus we were able to fly. We did 7 circuits however they were all low passes. Circuits were suprsingly less demanding that I had expected.    In the afternoon flight, I did my first landing! We did 3 touch n go before we exited the circuit to go over what to do in an engine failure. We then came back to do a shortfield landing.

It's been a while

So, it's been a while since I posted, I am still going to the gym, eating healthy and still feeling positive about myself! I went to my first class on Sunday, it was supposed to be 1 hour but I only lasted 30 mins, I knackered myself out and it has hurt for a couple of days, but I'm still continuing! No pain No Gain as they say. I will have my first weight check since starting on Thursday I will keep you all posted   Please comment if you like my blog posts or if you have any suggesti

First time taking off...

Hehe, I did the take off first time today! (did it for the second flight as well). First time was on a grass strip and the second time was on tarmac. To be honest, taking off on grass was probably easier as although its more bumpy and whatnot, it requires a lot less tweaking for it to go straight, meaning when you first select full-thrust for take off, you don't even have to kick the rudder right. Deliberately stalled today as well. Went over how to recover from a clean stall without using the e

What's occurred so far...

So what's occurred so far?  First day (11th June): Due to bad weather, first lesson was cancelled. The second lesson became how to do the pre-flight checks.  12th June: Weather was still a little nasty so my instructor did ground school on "the effects of control" (Note: she technically isn't supposed to do ground school with meh as its an "extra").  For the second lesson, the weather finally cleared up enough for me to do my familiarisation flight.  Today wa

[Random quick blog] What does Installing/Uninstalling a application really mean?

When you install an application using some install process, you'd think a lot is going on in the background aside from copying files to the install location. But for the most part, that's all it's really doing. Depending on how the application was designed and programmed, it'll be looking for files or libraries in certain places. So if said files or libraries don't already exist, the installer is making sure they get put in the right place. The only other thing that happens is to write some entr
