    TheKDub reacted to Electronics Wizardy in Most accurate way to determine wattage pulled for a UPS   
    Just saying, laser printers can pull a lot of power, so Id probably try to keep that off a ups.
     
    Easy way is to get a kill a watt meter, or something to measure usage, or just look up specs on devices.

    It's not the LTT "Stealth" Hoodie, it's just one with a vaguely similar design.
     
    I wouldn't be surprised if the Walmart one uses trash materials and is poor quality in general compared to the LTT hoodie.

    For the past quarter Microsoft in Japan has tested a new working day schedule where Friday is also a holiday, and so far it has been working above expectations, decreasing costs and increasing productivity.

    Thoughts: In a country where people are known to overwork themsevles to death and a good load of fiction revolves around escapism, this is a great direction for any enterprises to look towards to. More corporations should implement this system, though I doubt it would work on every industry.

    Similar, but no where near the same. Different pockets, completely different colors.. yes I know its black and grey, but look no where near identical... wrist cuffs are different.. while the chest area is similar, IMO its the only part thats similar.

    University is going to tell you you need math. That’s what University does, they fill your head with cr*p you don’t need because the professors there have never had a real job in their life and the University wants money. 
     
    If all you want to do is computer repair, you’re going to be better off just going right into the workforce. You can check out Louis Rossmann on YouTube to see what advice he has on getting into the industry. You absolutely do not need a formal education.

    TheKDub reacted to GoodBytes in sorry i dont know where to ask this does computer repair need math   
    You need math, more for the logic side of math. In order to really better understand circuitry and chips, you need to understand the logic side of things. So, AND, OR, XOR, etc. so that you can follow schematics.
     
    Remember that University is there to train you to be a Researcher, not the work field. If you want work field training, then you need to go a technical school. The university doesn't see you as a "some dude that fixes computer", but rather "a person who can design circuits and chips"... an electric / computer engineer. Now, maybe your university has a technical program... that is possible, I don't know what you are looking at as you are super vague.

    May be I'm lucky. I have 5700XT for about a month. Except when I first installed the card and driver, did had a few black screens. The card has been working flawlessly since. No shutter, no low FPS as others reports. On the other hand, I only run one monitor. Play mostly F1, Dirty Rally, Assassins Creed, that kind of games.

    source:
    https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-6-android-10-update/
     
    let me start by saying im currently using the asus 6z/zenfone 6 and im a happy user.
     
    asus has been doing some great work in the mobile sector recently with the asus zenfone 6, rog phone 2.
    the hardware is simply amazing.
    software side
    theres an android beta program running for a while now and asus has finally started rolling out the official ota.
    they not only released the sources but also provided phones to popular devs like arnova for gcam support.
    theres custom roms available and they're timely with their updates. my android security never went more than 2 months old.
     
    the phone has been good with the camera(good enough),hw,software and let me just say this about the battery
    the phone gives 2 day battery life
    12 hrs sot
    2 days single 4g volte sim standby
     
     
    sales
    i dont have any official figures but when the rog phone went on sale it went out of stock in both india and china. 
    do you think asus can pull this off successfully under such a competitive market if they continue like this?

    TheKDub reacted to TetraSky in How can the towel get dirty?   
    Humidity from the shower + the fact that it takes a while for the towel to fully dry off, you have the perfect environment for bacterial growth that can happen, especially if you shit in the same room.
    That along with pretty much everything else that was said, dead skin cell, oils, sweat, etc etc... Even if you fully clean yourself with soap, your body keeps producing more.

    TheKDub got a reaction from TheNaitsyrk in USB 3.0 Hub (I need some explanation)   
    If you plug a hub into a USB 3.0 port (640MB/s), the connected devices have a maximum of 640MB/s available.
     
    So if you had an SSD connected to it and were copying files from it around 400MB/s, the rest of the devices only have about 240MB/s to use until the SSD is done.
     
    You can connect USB 2.0 devices to USB 3.0 ports, and USB 3.0 devices to USB 2.0 ports. (However I wouldn't recommend it unless speeds aren't a concern, as USB 2.0 is quite a bit slower)

    TheKDub reacted to 7412 in Anyone else annoyed by Anthony comments?   
    Every time a new video in LTT features Anthony, the comments are full of supportive comments for him. 
    And don't get me wrong, he has a very clean presentation, he's knowledgeable and he has a nice voice. Besides, he's not overhyping things he's excited about, he's not your typical over-energetic youtuber. I myself like Anthony a lot.
     
    But it's been months now, and still, every single time a video features him, the comments are EXCLUSIVELY Anthony related. You can't even find comments about the content of the video itself, because no matter how much you scroll down, it's just things like "I saw Anthony in thumbnail, I clicked immediately!" or things like that. It was fine the first 2 or 3 videos following his first appearance, but now?
    Do things never get old for some people?

    TheKDub reacted to GoodBytes in *UPDATED* FED EX IS RETURNING MY MERCH AFTER NO BEING ABLE TO DELIVER   
    Package signature requirement depending on the sender requirement. For example, Amazon shipment don't require one if the overall cost is under a certain amount (100$ where I am). If it is over, then you need to sign. FedEx and other mail carriers, either do at the very least 2 attempts before returning it, or only 1 attempt and expect you to call after, if no call received after a certain day, it gets returned to the sender.  Keep in mind that even though no signature is required, it is up to the deliver person to decide if it is safe to leave the package outside or not. Road blocks can also leads to deliver person flag the shipment as a failed delivery. Weather conditions can also lead to this. Depending on the company policy, they may reattempt the next day if weather is better or request the receiver (you) to go to a mail carrier center to pick it up (I don't mean those drop boxes or store, I mean actually go to the mail carrier company mail hub facility which might be a long drive to reach, if it is on local store, they normally give you a paper on the door where to go and get it). Every mail company is different, and it may depend also on package size, weight and shipping service selected by the shipper (ie: that will not happen if you take same day shipping, for example, due to the premium price you pay). Lastly, a typo or missing information on a shipments information can cause a package to be returned to the sender mid way. A missing apartment number, missing letter after a civic address (example: 123A Fake street, where "A" is missing).  Note that when a package is returned, it is being returned... you can put a hold on the return process, but you need to call. Ideally the shipper needs to call. The receiver of the package has no power unless the shipper explicit give them (for example, the ability for the receiver to auto-sign in advance a package from the  mail carrier website, freeing the mailing company and seller from responsibility if the package doesn't actually arrive in your hands). So call now.
     
    In all cases, it is the shipper responsibility to keep track of the order and call when needed. So for example, if there was a typo in the address, then your mom (assuming she sent it her self) needs to contact FedEx, provide the tracking information, her name and all that, and then can place an address correction.  If it s store that sent it, you need to inform the store, and hopefully they can contact FedEx or whoever on time and place the correction. (Although, the store might be nice enough for a full reimbursement including shipping cost, possible due to a special agreement/deal they have with the shipping company to recoup the cost back for the shipping)
     
    This is what I know. To know the exact details, again, as everyone said, call them. If you wait 2 days, then probably the packages will already be back in the shipper/sender hands, and you lost your shipping fee. You'll need to pay it again as if it was the first time it was being sent.
