Good, my Canon 700D is not on that list, and I get to keep my Magic Lantern CFW.

Oh, okay. Its weird, but seems to make sense when you think about it. I've now disabled it on the forum and we'll see how it goes. Cheers for the advice and help on such a mundane issue.

You are right, I do use Grammarly - I must have missed that when going through the extensions. My mistake on that part. I'll disable it on the forums and see if that helps from now on. Since you said it like that - I assume its an issue, but for my curiosity sake - do you happen to know why it's an issue? Seems pretty random to me.

Gener8 doesn't block ads, it just replaces those stupid annoying ones you see on sites like Buzzfeed - however, it was disabled on LinusTechTips and YouTube as I don't mind the ads on either website. So that couldn't be the issue - especially as it has happened before - even before I had installed Gener8.

Hi, I seem to be having an issue when making a spoiler. Its happened a few times now, but the worst one is one I just did in the topic: When I first add the spoiler, its fine, but when I post it adds a load of blank space with the number 1 in there and about half a page down, it will add the spoiler. I just edited it to try and remove the blank space, however - it seems to have made it worse by doubling the space... Any help would be appreciated. I don't know if it's local to me or anything. But It's annoying.

So, let me get this right. I have a contactless NFC/RFID Debit Card and the same card on my mobile device - again, using NFC with Apple Pay/Google Pay/Samsung Pay (you get the idea). Now, I don't need to unlock my phone to pay, but both require the same action, as simple as a hover or tap on the reader and that's it. The same amount of time, the same action. So If I use my phone - that's against the law, but yet if I used my card - that is fine? Either I'm misunderstanding this or the law needs to be updated to avoid this very issue... If a police officer enforces this (due to the use of a mobile device in a vehicle), they need to think twice about it. I doubt this would hold up in court (but I've been wrong before and will most definitely be wrong again - will this be an exception, I don't know.)

I just found it myself on there by doing a quick google search. This is not going to be pretty. I would say "I hope this information doesn't lead to anything" but since it's on the farms - well... only time will tell. And since its on the farms, I'm 99% sure it'll stay on the farms (and by that, I mean - not taken down from there.)

They have known about this since February? And if it's on Kiwifarms, that information is not going to disappear any time soon... Well, in the words of Jimmy Carr...

Much the same as any PSU failure, it may take some components with it (if / when it fails), however, it is a solidly built PSU with a really good review - pretty sure Johnny Guru did a review of the same series of PSU in the past (850w, I believe - could be wrong...). It literally depends on how heavy of a usage it was used at for X amount of time (years, presumably). As long as it wasn't stressed to an inch of its life, it should be good for a while (I'd say an extra 2 years or so from the date to now than you received it). That being said, if you have pushed it to its limits and are experiencing issues, then you should possibly get a new PSU - however, if all if fine right now, it should last you at least another year or so to be able to save up and get a new one (not the same model as they are discontinued, but a similar series/brand...). It should be compatible as the 24-pin and the 4/8-pin (or multiples thereof) have become a standard of the past 20 years or so (not that I recommend using a 20-year old PSU, it should still be compatible - should it use the same connectors).

I did that once with an old ASUS LGA 775 Southbridge heatsink - it was actually really nice.

If you don't want it to be functional - torch the thing, Mount it on a Plaque with the word "Heresy" written underneath it - for the Emperor does not give his blessing.

I got an HX 750w for my first build in 2015, and it was refurbished (and by that, it was a demo unit), so I had seen some use before I got it. I ran it with an Overclocked 4690K at 4.8-5.0GHz (I miss that chip, could do 5.0GHz on Air cooling...) with a GTX 970 G1 Gaming (Overclocked as well). It stayed like that for 3 years. Still using the same PSU, I upgraded to a 6800K and a 1070 plus a shed load of hard drives (not that insignificant of a power draw when all are spun up). It's handled that now for another 1.5 years. That PSU is really well made and should be fine with the Zen2 build - speaking in the fact that the 6800K is a 140w part, much more than Zen2 (an extra 35w over the 2700x)

Today, Apple announced to Engadget (and other Tech News sources - most likely), that they have killed off the MacBook 12", MacBook Pro without Touch Bar and discounted the MacBook Air. So that's a lot, let's start at number 1. MacBook 12" Gone, Dead, Kapoot. It was controversial at the time, with only 1 USB-C port and very lackluster internals - however, it set the steppings stones for Apples next generations of machines. However, as many have pointed out (I've been thinking about this myself), but since the release of the refreshed MacBook Air, this machine made very little sense. The MacBook Air was almost the same size, almost the same price, and while it still had very lack-luster performance, it still beat the MacBook 12". Number 2 - The MacBook Pro Here is the click bait I did say in the title - which however can be interpreted as true depending on your point of view since that's exactly what happened. Apple has stopped selling the MacBook Pro without the Touch Bar while also buffing the specs of the base MacBook Pro. It seems like Apple are finally considering what "might" be considered pro - for 4 years ago... There is finally a Quad-Core i5 (8th Generation) and optional i7 (Quad/Hexa?) The Touch bar has been added as standard, so no more dedicated function keys. You're getting a laptop with a T2 Chip and You're Going to like it... However, the rest of the internals don't really change - and nor does the price. 13" MacBook Pro with 2 Thunderbolt 3 Ports & 8GB of RAM starts at $1299 ($1199 for Students). MacBook Air News. There's not a whole lot to talk about with this one. It's mainly just the introduction of a TrueTone display and a price cut. The Machine now started at $1099 ($999 for students). No hardware updates/downgrades. That's pretty much it. My Thoughts? Phew, that was a long article of combining 2 into 1. Let's start at the top. MacBook 12" I'm not surprised that it has gone the way of the dinosaurs (as I mentioned in its little sub-section). It was outclassed by the MacBook Air and had no real place left in Apple's Line-up and eco-system. MacBook Pro (Non-Touch-Bar Death) It kind of annoys me that Apple are doing away with physical Function keys, however, I guess it could be seen as good since having the Touch Bar means AppleID, so could be more secure for individuals and businesses. Also, the increase in performance (from the processor side is nice). MacBook Air About time they lowered the price. It was really expensive at its launch price since it was nipping at the heals of the MacBook Pro base model, so it's a welcome surprise that Apple has done this. Plus the introduction of TureTone is not unwelcome. So, meh, but not bad Apple. Your Thoughts? Please Leave them Down Below.

Image source: MacRumors (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/02/17/16-inch-macbook-pro-2019-kuo/) Apple has launched a "Voluntary" Recall and replacement program for owners of MacBook Pro 15-Inch (2015 - 2017) due to a potential fire hazard caused by the battery. This typically only affects the "Retina" Line of laptops from the company, however - it may be worth checking your model if it falls within those sales dates. (Use the first link/source, takes you to the page) Also, nice to see Gizmodo keep their language in check... oh never mind... My Thoughts? Not much, my Macbook Pro doesn't fall within this recall due to it being the 2017 13-inch - however, battery technology used between the two lines may have a similar fault, so I'm keeping an eye on mine for the time being. I recommend that other users do the same - not just for MacBooks, but just as general PC/Laptop Health.

No problem - happy to help. If you can mark this thread solved, that'd be great Best of luck

IIRC its, CTL + OPTION + CMD + T on the set-up, like where you select the languages.

If you can boot to a recovery image (via USB) - try what is typed on this website: http://osxdaily.com/2016/08/30/erase-disk-command-line-mac/ So, boot from the USB to the Mac Installer, open the terminal window and find the name of the disk by using: diskutil list Once you have found the name of the disk that you want to format to HFS+ (OS X Extended Journaled), use this command, substituting the "DiskName" for whatever you want to call the disk, such as "Macintosh_SSD", and Replacing the DiskNodeID to whatever the disk corresponds to in the previous "diskutil list": diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ DiskName /dev/DiskNodeID So for Example, when you type it, it might be: diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ Macintosh_SSD /dev/disk1s2 Proper Syntax is key, along with Spelling. When you type it, make sure you have typed it correctly before hitting "Enter"...

Okay - so is the SSD Soldered to the logic board?

I assume this is the "older" MacBook from that generation (The one with the DVD Drive)? If so, burn a copy of G-Parted to a CD on a different computer. Put it in the MacBook and boot up - holding Option to get the boot-selection. boot the live disk and then use the partition editor to create an OS EJ Partition on the new SSD, or failing that, use ExFat. Restart the machine (without the live CD) and boot into the Mac OS X Installer. Launch DiskUtil and it should be there, then partition it as OS Extended Journaled. Should be fine from that point onwards. If not, let us know what's going on and we'll (The community) see if we can do anything else.

Just ran the benchmark with FRAPS considering some reason RivaTuner and MSI Afterburner were not picking up the demo. On my 6800K and GTX 1070 (+250 core, +100 mem, +20% voltage) I managed to get - drum roll please: 0 FPS minimum, 17 FPS Maximum with an Average of 10.054 FPS - at 1080p . . . Ran better than I thought, but still a slide show really. Now, the cynic in me is thinking that while Nvidia released this for non-RTX graphics cards, I think its more of an advert to show how bad your X GPU runs Ray Tracing, you could get so much better by upgrading to a new RTX 2060 + GPU.

As a Game dev student, this looks really interesting and I'd love to have a play around with this demo in the future. However, I'd have to learn yet another engine (in my own time - which I don't have much off at the moment.) I am really interested in this. Now, all we need is a Crysis "Anniversary Edition" where it's been re-done for Ray Tracing. Then we will have another "Can It Run Crysis?" meme

I actually mentioned that. I was stating apart from that. You never had Type-B as a physical direct input (as a port) on a PC, (as far as I know)

I kind of agree with the retiring of connectors, as USB Type-C is amazing... However, there are so many peripherals that use the Type A standard (keyboard and mice, as examples) that I can't really see that happening. Much the same as you can (rarely - but still possible) find PS2 on modern computers. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the "Type-B" standard never made it to the PC as an input, did it? (I'm not talking about Type-A to Type-B cables like you got with mobile phones).

In a shocking and (somewhat) unexpected move, Intel has decided to contribute its Thunderbolt 3 standard the USB Promoter Group (The people who design the USB Specification). This will essentially allow Thunderbolt 3 to become the new standard for USB (Still based over USB Type-C, Thankfully), and will also make it fully backward compatible with USBs previous standards: USB 2, USB 3.0, USB 3.1 and the recently renamed/announced USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (Confusing much?). It will also provide Twice the current throughput of the current Thunderbolt 3/USB 3 Type-C at a rate of 40 Gbps, compared to the current 20 Gbps on USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (I hate that naming scheme so much...) New Quote Added: The reason was given for this generosity, seems to be a pure market move, more than that of willingness. With the upcoming Intel 10nm node, Intel plans to integrate Thunderbolt 3 directly into their processors. Which should mean a much wider adoption rate over the current implementation of Thunderbolt 3. The Downside, however, seems to be for AMD. Since it will be baked into the 10nm node, that means it could put AMD at a disadvantage until they come up with a way to support the new USB 4 standard on their platform. The entire USB4 specification will be published around the middle of 2019, along with an updated specification for the USB Type-C specification, in an effort to updated power requirements (possibly a higher power output over the cable, or maybe a way to discern cables that don't meet spec?). One this is for sure - that it can be expected that the new USB 4 standard will more than likely be based on the Thunderbolt 3 standard. My thoughts? Well, it's cool and really amazing. The lack of Thunderbolt 3 for consumers on lower end products is extremely lacking. Hopefully by integrating it into the USB 4 specification will lower (possibly remove) the royalties that Intel claims and can make the feature much more widespread. Again, the downside I see to this is for AMD. Would they be able to license the new standard or will they have to come up with their own specification for USB 4 without Thunderbolt? Only time will tell. Either way, I'm really excited about this news. Your Thoughts?
