You can always run Tron Scipt if you want to get rid of everything that might be causing trouble.

You need to reboot into safe mode (by pressing f8 when booting and selecting safe mode with networking) to run it properly and it takes a few hours, but it cleans absolutely everything cruddy or virus-y off your computer.

That's what I always do:)  just wanted to know because i had to do my partitioning through cmd because I made some extended and logical partitioning and i didn't wanted to do that again. In a few hours I will know more

You can't install a Windows system onto a dynamic volume if you have any of those set up (meaning they span or mirror across multiple disks).

If the disk you're installing it onto has existing partitions, make sure to pick the right partition during the installation phase. It WILL wipe the content on the partition you select, but the other partitions should remain intact.

Try rebooting your computer and installing again.

Your computer may be trying to install something else and failing and Windows only lets you use the installer service for one install at a time.

Rebooting should cancel any pending installs and free up the service on boot.

It's a trap! Luckily you stopped at around 15minutes. 

Nah, there's a youtube video at the end -

This is unfair business practice from Google. It should not be upto decision of cosmetic group. when was it upto the decision of Mr Lush. I dont know who he is but looks like a popular channel. What if Algorithm decides to give Linustechtips to someone else?

I think this news combined with the new CFO might just be wallstreet poking it's nose where it shouldn't be.

Not exactly the same, but same concept if it was suicide

why not?

there is no downside to pushing a physical button on the motherboard.

There's a downside to leaving your motherboard exposed all the time.

oh dang, i forgot this could have been it too, i always assume people have power buttons directly on the MB like i do

Lol, sure hope you don't use it to start your computer regularly though

LOL yes, I've check and double checked that

It could be that the microphone port isn't powered properly and may be a Line-in port instead.

If that's the case, getting a cheap usb microphone+headphone adapter might provide enough power to amplify the mic volume to where you're more comfortable.

Hey, can you send a photo of the Front I/O connectors on your motherboard?

The part with all the tiny wires you had to plug in carefully one by one near the bottom of the board if you installed it with the rear I/O at the back of the case.

EDIT: Where you plugged in these thingies

Man, you're awesome. No clue what PPD you'll end up - something like 700k-1M? That'd be a massive help.

Hahaha, thanks, I appreciate it.

I'm at 1.2-1.3M right now around 28 hours later.

Even though you can't sell the credit, you can easily make atleast a few thousand dollars by mining.

I've done the calculations. Mining would get me around $300 if I ran all I could for an entire year.

CPU's are terrible for coin mining in an ASIC market.

Thank you all! Initially I was leaning towards JS as well, but now I'm sure it'll be my choice. One of the reasons is I'm semi-good at photoshop and I really like designing things and JS' front-end capabilities feel just for me. For now that's it, I know any good programmer has to have extensive skills in more than one language but for me that's still in the far future, now I'll focus at learning everything I can about JavaScript. Thanks again!

Hey, glad to hear you've made a choice.

About having to have 'extreme skills in one language': A lot of programming languages are really similar, especially Object Oriented Programming Languages like Javascript, Java, Objective C, C#, Kinda C++, Python, Ruby, and many others.

Once you learn one of them fairly well, it becomes pretty easy to learn the others.

Don't get caught up on becoming really good at a specific language though because trends change all the time, and a language and framework that was relevant  today might become obsolete tomorrow.

Just learn what you find interesting and go with the flow!

Thanks for doing that mate! Maybe easy to do, but selfless nonetheless. How long have you been running the cores to get that 70k PPD number? PPD generally takes about 12 hours to get a stable number out of my rig.

 

If you run that for 6 months, it'll be about 126 million points, which is amazing. 

BTW I've already made my way onto the roster around 17 hours in

I had it going about 20 minutes for that.

The current estimates from HFM look like 1.28M PPD

Are you allowed to put titans in your servers? Kappa

Lol, I don't own the servers or live anywhere near them.

It's like having a ton of AWS credit.

Coming from someone in the industry, PHP is old and will die eventually.

Javascript and Node.JS have begun showing how powerful they can be, if you've seen Walmart's website, it all runs on Node.js.

Learning javascript will help you build not only server side applications with Node, but also client side web interfaces.

Plus I'm pretty sure there are a ton more jobs for Node or front-end javascript developers these days.

Hi, I've got a storage / Plex media server running on my local network, running Ubuntu 14.04 and I want to map one of it's drives to use as a network share on my Windows machines.

I've installed and configured Samba, but for some reason, I always get an issue when trying to map the drive on the Windows side.

It's always an 'incorrect network password' issue.

To clarify: I have no domain controller or domain, this is a home network. The folder/drive mapped in the samba config is properly permissed to be used. I have created a user on the linux server and given it the right permissions. I have run sambapasswd -a <user> for the user to set up it's samba credentials. I have disabled LAN encryption of SMB credentials in my Windows group policies.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Eh, cost efficiency doesn't matter if they're free. Its awesome that we now have an extra 256 Xeon cores on the team though.

Hahaha, glad to hear I'm welcome

Typically the numbers go up after they're stable it took a couple days for my 7950 and 290 to get 289k-301k constantly. Can't wait to see your PPD after a couple days.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info  

Yeah, they're only CPU's tho, 256 2.5Ghz cores of Xeons.

Probably astronomically cost inefficient, but hey it's free to me.

Noice, I wonder how far up the leaderboard you'll get by April.

Yeah, gotta wait for my numbers to stabilize before I can make any solid predictions

Am now folding with  8 x 32 vCPU VM's running in a datacenter at around 135K PPD each, and a 16 vCPU server in a datacenter getting around 67k PPD.

Okay I've been staying up secretly, spinning up cloud instances.

Watch that for a day

I should be getting points around a rate of 8 million a week.
