It should be real close to black. Lemme cook something else up real quick Between those 2 lines should be an even transition from black to white. Does it turn grey real fast? There should not be any abrupt color change compared to the rest of the transition. EDIT : do you think maybe you could grab your phone and take a picture of the dreamhack screenshot? It's kinda hard to judge how messed up something is with only screenshots provided by the PC's own screenshotting tools.

Must be, perhaps your balance is way off. Hang on a sec ... It should be very difficult to read the text in the above pic. If it clearly looks grey to you, either your brightness or your contrast is way too high.

Nope, those are all black to me Well ... black ... my PC says the RGB codes are 12, 12, 12 for the left corner area and 14, 14, 14 for the right one. I'd hardly call that grey.

Magnified 5x, pixels pointed out. Left Right

Do you mean the small grey spot on the left of the desk, right where the floor meets the wall? And the one small pixel right next to the rigfht side of the desk? I downloaded the picture and had to zoom in to see those. Not seeing anything anywhere near the corners though.

On my main rig I daisy-chained a couple of 3-way PWM splitters so I can run all my fans (2 BeQuiet SW2 CPU fans and 3 Noctua NF-A14 PWM case fans) from the CPU header. The fan curve only starts to go up at 40°C while the CPU idles in the low 30s. This means that all the fans idle along when I'm just browsing or playing music, but ramp up as soon as I put any serious load on the CPU. As soon as a process starts to eat resources for no reason or a site tries to use my CPU cycles to mine Monero, I'll hear that something's going on. The reason is part necessity, part laziness. My motherboard supports PWM only on the CPU fan header, all the other headers only do voltage control despite having 4 pins. So when I installed those PWM fans I had to get my signal from either the CPU header or a fan controller. I was too lazy to look into 4-pin fan controllers that were linux-compatible, so I decided to hook everything up to the CPU header. Problem solved cheaply and quickly. My secondary rig uses stock Fractal 3-pin fans, so I hooked those up to the regular case fan headers on the motherboard. I set that one up to react to the CPU temperature as well, but because those 3-pin fans idle at 50% speed instead of the 12.5% that PWM fans can do, I only let them go beyond idle when the temp hits 50°C. The NAS uses a Lamptron FC5v2 fan controller to control 6 BeQuiet SW2 3-pin fans.

Yup, same problem here. Can't upload pics anymore either. Firefox 68.0.2 on Win7

Don't be evil Google has agreed to pay 170 million dollars to settle a lawsuit regarding their illegal collection and sale of children's data. They knowingly collected the data and allowed advertisers to specifically target those young children even though the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act doesn't allow them to collect data on anyone under 13 years of age. Source : https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/04/youtube-to-pay-170-million-in-ftc-child-privacy-settlement.html Attorney General James really shouldn't be touting this like a major victory just because it's "one of the largest settlements for a privacy matter in U.S. history". $170M is chump change for such companies, they only start to pay attention once you start fining them billions. They're probably laughing about how cheaply they got away with the whole thing. Alphabet's shares went up 0.4% after the announcement, so that fine probably paid for itself.

Getting EX3 when trying to view the "What song are you listening to right now" topic. The tab title in Firefox is "A configuration or server error has occured" RIP LTT forum F

I'll be honest here. When I read that title, I thought they were referring to clock speed instead of refresh rate. I was like "dude, you're a couple decades late".

Personally I'd put that AIO in the front and set it up as an intake. Put it as low above the HDD cage as you can, that way the bottom fan blows air towards the GPU and the top one blows its air more over the top half of the motherboard. Keep the rear fan, but use it as an exhaust. That's just 3 fans, which should be enough to keep a single-GPU system at reasonable temps ... if your case has enough airflow. What case do you use? If you really need more airflow, add 2 fans in the top. Either have them at low RPM as intake fans or have the front-most one as intake and the other one as an exhaust. You'll need to try both options to find out what works best on your setup.

With how fast Intel is coming up with new sockets, I predict that in 2 or 3 generations every single SKU will have its own socket.

In all fairness the "bugged" interface doesn't really bother me that much. I keep all of Google's stuff blocked so I also have the text instead of the icons. You get used to it pretty quickly. I also have Discord and Facebook blocked, which means I don't see the avatars of all people who use those services for theirs either. But that's probably a good thing.

Don't play the odds game. If tomorrow your HDD dies, it's not going to matter that the annual failure rate for that model is 0.1%. Your data will still be gone. There are several people here who found this out the hard way. How often you do backups depends on your usage pattern, and of course how much work you are prepared to lose if your HDD/SSD suddenly dies. Some things, like movies for example, I don't mind losing because I can always re-rip the Blu-rays etc. That's just not worth the cost of the drives on which I'd store the backups. Other things, like my personal data, are so important that their weekly backups' backups have offsite backups.

Røde NT-USB. A bit overkill for that one Skype call every 2 weeks, but when I eventually decide to take over the hitparades at least I'll have proper gear already.

linustechtips.com ? Actually no, it's Duckduckgo.

In that case they'd better get rid of Cortana ASAP. They might save lots of lives.

Already working on it.

So ... in January I can either - Stay on Win7 and have an unpatched vulnerability allow anyone to mine bitcoins using my PC - Move to Windows 10 and have all my resources go to waste without anyone benefiting from them If only the Windows team could write 2 lines of code without introducing 7 new major bugs ...

Easy enough to solve, just close the browser. Works for me, I do it as soon as I notice that SJ is a sponsor. I just wait until Sunday and watch TWiT instead.

If you don't need the space in the front for water cooling components, the C should be large enough. In terms of cooling it probably doesn't really make a difference. On the S2 you'll have a larger volume of air inside the case, but the fans will still only be moving it out and replacing it at the same pace as they would on the C. The intake and exhaust openings are similar in size as well, so there's no difference there either. The aesthetics may be a reason to choose the S2 though. The Meshify C is a very short case for its height whereas the S2 is quite long. Check some video reviews of both, or better yet try to see them in person before deciding. Personally I'm okay with the looks of my Define C because it is under my desk. Not so sure I'd like to have it on top of the desk though, the R5 looks so much better up there because of that extra length.
