    most of the stuff that would track you in 10 is also being "updated" on 7 & 8. There are a lot more people tracking you than just Microsoft. Google, NSA, GCHQ and probably most other countries that have the technology.

    It clearly states that they allow 3rd party ad agencies and social media companies to collect information about your use of the website and that they combine personal information that they collect about you using these technologies. That is blatent information harvesting purely being used to make themselves more money.

    Nope it means that any company can implement it properly. Say Nvidia for example.

    Mattyd7829 reacted to DocSwag in [UPDATED]First look at the FuryX2   
    Source: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/50717/first-look-amds-radeon-r9-fury-x2-dual-gpu-hbm/index.html
    We seem to finally have gotten our first glimpses at the Fury X2 now.
    This is the first real look we have seen at the Fury X2.
    Through the window we see a card that is obviously longer than any other Fiji GPU, but that's expected since it is a dual GPU, after all.
    I personally can't estimate the length just from the pic, but you guys can give your thoughts on this one.
    As well, on the end we see a fan that looks like one of those blower style fans. Most likely this is an intake fan to blow air through the card to cool the VRMs and such. It wouldn't make sense to be an air cooled car since the Fury X is watercooled and so far everything has been suggesting the fury x2 will be liquid cooled. Chances are an aio cools the two Gpus and the fan cools the VRMs.
    Gimme your thoughts on this! Hopefully this means the FuryX2 is getting releases soon. AMD has delayed it way too long, so much that it will launch around the same time as Polaris.
    [UPDATE] Roy Taylor has posted yet another picture!
      Here we seem to see a row of systems all (probably) with Fury X2s in them.
    AMD seems to be teasing the Fury X2 a lot recently. As well, he stated "shipping soon." Hopefully this means the FuryX2 will FINALLY be launching soon. It was way delayed and is long overdue.

    I don't think there is any way to hook it up as a second monitor, but you could use Synergy which would allow you to control it via your pc mouse and keyboard a little like a kvm but you just go off the side of your pc screen to use it on your laptop.

    Mattyd7829 got a reaction from LukaH in Identical Fans, Separate speeds? (by ~200RPM)   
    I think maybe that the cable is a low noise adapter, not an extension cable. This cable reduces the fans speed to combat noise.

    Wow I never thought of that, I honestly needed like 1cm to reach so I put it on. Thanks, I'm gonna remove it now and route the cable differently.

    There are usually around 4 sata ports on a board (not always but mostly imo) so you have space for a few more drives. If that isn't enough then pci sata cards can be used to expand your drive count.

    I just use homegroup and shared folders for ease. You can get specific nas software but I found just using an old windows machine to be the easiest. (I may be wrong though, I am sure someone will shout if I am)

    I have just had a quick look at windows backup on windwos 10, and that allows backing up to a network location so that's good.
     
    Google Chrome has a remote desktop tool which will allow you to control your "server" pc without having to have keyboard monitor and mouse connected to it. I find it works well for my needs.

    Yes. It's been proven time and time again that even abusing marijuana can't kill you. You're just smoking the bud of a plant.
    Meanwhile, cigarettes are pretty much tar pits wrapped in paper.

    Some footage from qualifying for a race last night in PCars with randoms in the Zakspeed Capri - one of my fav cars.
     

     
    Got the pole and kept it. Race started (8 laps), managed to get a good launch and not get caught up in first corner. Pulled away from the pack and pulled out a decent lead by mid race. Then started to hit lap traffic. Some people kindly moved out of the way (thank you @chaozbandit ) while others tried to deliberately block me or spin me out. Luckily I just waited until they screwed up the next corner and cruised on by. Those moron's slowed me down a bit and the 2nd place car was now breathing down my neck. Last lap, 2nd last corner, guy behind bumps me while braking and sends me around. Nice.  <_< Finished 4th. 
     
    Was still a fun race and was a fight to the bitter end, trying to avoid traffic during the 2nd half. Besides that, it was one of the most consistent races I've ever run. Not an easy car to drive in the least, I had it set to give full boost and combined that with a taller final drive ratio which helped me pull away on corner exits and down straights (could tell those who were using the default setups).
     
    Will post up a thread to see if there's interest in an LTT fun league later today.

    I think that you will be happy with the 295x2, I am happy with mine. You can either bump up the power and oc (mine does 1070/1500 comfortably and rarely gets over 70 degrees), or you can leave at stock clock and reduce the power by a small amount and get temps that don't get to 60 degrees.

    I don't think that having 2 drives in a raid setup increases the chance of either drive failing. It's just that there are 2 drives that can fail instead of one. If your single drive fails you have also lost all of your non backed up data.
     
    I think that the speed increase is well worth the non-existent failure increase. 
     
    I run a pair of 840 pro drives and love it.
