why worry about bottlenecking if you get over 60fps unless u have 144hz+

if you cant afford something better just go with it. tlc will last you long enough. always keep backups no excuses

Another one joins the group, that is fantastic! How are you dealing with assigning USB devices to VMs?

There is a way to passthrough USB controllers to a specific VM but I haven't tried it out yet because I have a bunch of tests coming up. I think it should solve all my problems.
You have your ssd as one of the array drives? With the Unassigned Devices plugin? Right now I have one SSD set up like that and the other one as cache. But I'll switch it so that they are both under array drives. And in a day or two a 3TB HDD should be here. I'll use it for Plex and to store games on. No parity or cache

Gotta retest with DX12!

Windows Privacy Information
We all know and love Windows 10 for its great features, but it has one MAJOR flaw. Privacy.
Microsoft has the ability to watch your every move. Each keypress is logged, all your files are available to Microsoft, location, system information, and
they're even listening to you! This information is all located in their lovely Privacy Policy that you agreed too. They have access to everything on your
operating system, even when disabling these "settings" in your Privacy Settings area. This now applies to Windows 7 and 8 with a recent update.
Do you enjoy being watched?
 
What is mPurge?
mPurge is a "program" or script I compiled to forcefully block Microsoft services. You will no longer be watched.
Purge those bloody spies!
 
Features
Block surveillance/telemetry communication.
Blocks Microsofts file access.
Removes logging services.
Removes OneDrive.
 
Instructions
Create a restore point in case something goes wrong.
Disable your Anti-Virus.
Extract mPurge from the ZIP file.
Run as Administrator.
Wait until the program has completed.
Continue to follow instructions below.
 
Latest version: 1.4.3
*Not yet tested on Windows 7/8
Download | Virus Scan
Your browser WILL pick the file up as malicious because it's a batch file.
I suggest using an alternative browser to download, or disable your browsers security
to download the file. It's safe though.
 
[spoiler=Additional ways to stop Microsoft (Windows 7/8/10) ]
After you've run mPurge, visit your Privacy Settings and disable everything as a back up.
Next, run PowerShell as an Admiistrator and paste the code below. This will remove bloatware.

Recent updates have allowed Microsoft to spy on you too. Here is how to remove them:
Run CMD as an Administrator then paste each line of code one by one.

Obviously some nice custom glass tubing. I also plan on adding that 120mm radiator on the outside with glass tubing connecting to it. I can't live with a single 240mm radiator!
 
OK here are a few pictures.
 
 
 
 
 

Yeah I own the .ca version of linustechtips. I'm not too worried about domain jacking - yes I fell for the .online sale.

I'd prefer not to name them here for security reasons, but I have:
1.) Personal project portfolio site
2.) A site I made to show how certain algorithms work through animation
3.) A site to view cameras from my personal CCTV server.

Gaming sir!

I've done this on an Acer laptop with a dead BIOS. You can extract the .exe file using WinRAR. I used WinCrisis and Phoenix BIOS recovery.

Seems like a sleeper inside out!

I believe the S60 isn't compatible with their software for whatever reason. I had the same issue, and ended up just throwing the SSD into my parents laptop. Upgrading the SSD firmware did help a little bit, but overall it's kinda junk. The process is a little weird, but I'll write a tutorial tomorrow and tag you in it.

I never suggest upgrading to Windows 10 from an old OS. Always do a fresh install especially with OLD hardware. If you have a spare HDD lying around; try installing a fresh copy of Windows 10 on it, and playing a few games. Drivers are one of those really unstable things when messed with - Windows 10 does the best job it can with drivers when upgrading.
