What should you be getting for CPU Intensive work loads like Photoshop, After Effects and Premier?
With the brand new release of Ryzen 7, the creator's choice of CPU's sure have stirred up quite a bit.
Rules:
1. Must be ATX (Creators will likely need expansion in the future.)
2. 250gb SSD & 1tb HDD loadout
3. Same Case
4. 16gbs of RAM

When Gamespy shut down their servers in 2014, people weren't ready to stop playing many of the games that depended on them. So, in the case of Battlefield 2, two different groups of people each decided to set up their own master servers for the game, and provided a free download of the full game + expansions for anyone who wants it. This has been done with the blessing of EA.
Each of these downloads relies on a different master server list
The 'wonders' of 802.1D... This is just a quick blog to discuss the CCNA level of the process of how switches in an ethernet LAN will elect the root bridge and a few other details.
Firstly, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is? Simply, a way to create a logical 'loop free' network in our LAN by blocking specific ports that could cause a frame to loop indefinitely in our network. I'm assuming you have a basic understanding of STP because that would be required to understand the basic root
This was originally a post I made in the Tech News forum, and concerns the data-collection of Windows 10.
Nobody has agreed to grant Microsoft rights to their personal data by purchasing or installing Windows - and all data that is personally generated by a person's hardware, their owned software-licenses, their time, and their electricity costs, is their personally-owned data, and represents work that a person's property created, through their owner's personal expense, and time. Further
There's been some talk about Microsoft implementing a "gaming mode" for Windows which should help improve the performance of games. Or at least, minimize the impact of the OS on gaming performance. What this means is up in the air. However I decided to take a stab at something that could be like it and create a lean build of Windows 10. That is, a lot of its components were either disabled, deleted, or otherwise no longer a factor.
The Setup

Since I was in the area, I decided to take a trip down to the Computer History Museum in Sunnyvale, California. I also could've made a pit stop by Google's HQ and Apple's HQ for maximum geekiness (well and maybe glance at Oracle and Adobe's HQ), but nah. It's a nifty place if you get the chance to go. Just don't expect much out of the gift shop, there's a lot of cringe-worthy "geeky" stuff. But then again, maybe you're into that sort of thing :3

One rule: keep it on the CPU, no drivers, and no internet/browser stuff. All I have is a MacBook Pro Retina with a 750M inside, and none of the enterprise tools to handle validation.
EDIT: It's probably a good idea to lay out some ground rules at the top so people know how I'm approaching this:
Everything must be new. The reason being the used market is not consistent or reliable.
Everything must be gotten from official channels.
Hardware must be matched as closely as possible. If the exact part or equivalent cannot be found, a justification must be needed.
If a part on the PS4 is available for the PC, it must be included.
If I'm allowed t
I'm sick to death of people telling me "if it was so easy, the game devs would have done it by now. They know better than you do."
Here is visible, incontrovertible proof that the games industry can get a huge boost from taking advantage of SIMD today, especially when games require Sandy Bridge or later hardware (meaning AVX is available, but not AVX2 for our purposes).

Loungin was the third and final single released for LL Cool J's sixth album, Mr. Smith. Released on June 25th, 1996, it proved to be a large smash, thanks to the remix produced by the Trackmasters and featuring Total on the chorus.
The song is, very simply, LL finessing a woman in a loveless relationship with another man. Sampling Bernard Wright's 1985 hit Who Do You Love? (which focused on a topic not unlike LL's I Need Love), its instrumental is still one of the best aged ones.
Practically every peripheral interface, be it USB, SATA, PCIe, Thunderbolt, and even DisplayPort, uses a serial interface. That is, it transmits one bit at a time across the data channel. That seems kind of inefficient, considering that we used to have parallel interfaces that could transmit many bits at the same time. In fact, the only truly parallel interface that remains is DDR memory and inter-processor communication. So what happened? To understand this, it's best to look at several aspects
Possibly one of my most unusual obsessions of anything comes from the rap group Public Enemy.
And in reality, why I became real obsessive (to an extent) to Public Enemy is for a few reasons.
Back earlier this year, I was really opening up to a lot more older rap music outside of the gangsta rap scene. This mainly started with LL Cool J, but would obviously continue well into artists like Public Enemy and EPMD.
I would become way more aware of how the Bomb Squad handled thei
tl;dr - things to know about installing the thermal pads
Your back plate may have extra padding where you need to install the back plate thermal pad. You'll have to remove these before applying the thermal pad.
The back plate has plastic covering parts where the thermal pad will be installed. This plastic is a pain in the rear to remove and leaves a obnoxiously hard to remove adhesive. If you want to feel like the thermal pad will actually do something and you want to remove it, be
This is a revision of a previous blog I posted on my website with better examples and hopefully more depth into the world of binary for IP addresses and Subnetting. I will not explain how to subnet in this article but will explain why you might need to know how to convert binary to decimal (vice versa) and why it is useful.
Let's dive straight into the deep end.
Binary
Binary can be represented as either 1 or 0 (On or Off). We will be using the 'on/off' terms
This post might be more popular with the older crowd. Many of these items were in a moving box within smaller boxes, this ended up being a mess to sort through for disposal and potential re-use. Decided upon less photos as some vintage computing users might go nuts seeing a stack of 5.25 floppies in a disposal pile. I don't throw out failed 5.25 floppies, they're re-used for art or custom CD cases for indie bands.
Found a box of floppies in various sizes, if I recall that 3M 500K flo
