#This build is over budget, because I started this blog after I made the actual build, and prices have risen.

Welcome to the first edition of my Lyft blog series. In this series I will tell you some interesting stories from my Lyft rides. Some of these are personal stories customers tell me while I drive, others are events that occurred in the car itself while I was driving. This volume represents the most interesting stories from my first 100 rides (excluding two special ones I'm saving for a top 10 list later this year).
Before we get started, I'd like to offer a disclaimer: All guest's na
While there are legitimately some things to take into consideration regarding purchasing games from 3rd-party key resellers, I think that there also is some false and exaggerated propaganda being pushed about them by some select neurotic develops who are upset that people aren't paying full dollar for their games.
Firstly, the G2A marketplace does not represent 3rd-party key-resellers - it represents a forum for individuals to sell their keys. Arguments made for or against G2A market
This is the review of the Shure SE215, not to be confused with the SE215LTD which is a variant of the SE215 introduced at a later date.

Coming from basically using <$40 earphones i did not know what to expect from this. I was utterly disappointed in the how the earphones fit in my ears and how lackluster they sound, i really thought that the sounds quality would have dramatically changed after switching from low grade entry tier audio products. Low bass response, confused m
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

Battlefield 2 / Battlefield 2142
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
