    drc00k3 got a reaction from poker1059 in Experiences with non-techies   
    Someone in my ICT class asked if an ISP was someone who stood behind you and looked at your screen when you were typing passwords. My teacher said that it is a unique code that comes with each computer.
    We had a diagram of a home entertainment system and we had to label what the wires were. There was a PVR and she said it was a printer, it had a HDMI cable going into a TV and no-one realised it wasn't a printer.

    drc00k3 reacted to NemoTheClown in Avalanche Casemod - Restarted - Frosted, 40 kilo, Ti Sli   
    Hello and welcome to the restartet project!
    - Intro
    After a lot of wait, it is finally back on tracks! I promise to update frequently unlike last time. If you want to find out why I stopped, then read the spoiler underneath. But here goes it again!
    I'll be building a watercooled HAF Stacker, and painting it white, alongside my little NAS server as awesome sidekick. My previous case was the Corsair 700D, which was gorgeous, but i wanted something bigger with a lot of space  The choice was between the 900D or HAF stackers, and since there is a lot of 900D mods out there, then I just wanted to try something else.
    This casemod is called Avalanche. Simply because it is white, big and is gonna be terrifying heavy! I live on 1. floor and almost can't lift it down the stairs alone, even without anything inside it.
    I plan to live up to the name, which I'll be doing with the watercooling, that'll be themed white and black. Fittings, res etc will be themed white, while the fluid will be black as the best contrast. I will be running hardline tubing and soft tubing in the bottom for draining and easy acces. Cables will be sleeved with white paracord which looks insanely awesome with a twist of black sleeving spinning around it. As of lightning goes, then I took it to the next level and ordered a RGBW Pure White LED strips. With that I'll be using a DX8 Touch controller, which I'll be mounting in a place which is easy to reach. We also know that a Avalanche ain't no quite thing. So i'll be taking a WAM5500 as a "built in" soundsystem. Uhh, bluetooth
    For the frosted look, I'll be sanding the waterblocks and tubing. If you got wany neat tricks for sanding the tubing, please share!  
     
    PS. If you want to know reason i restartet this log from scratch, and save you self 6 months wait. Then you can read it here

    I found an old GTX Titan X that is definitely not a GTX 260. It outperforms my GT 730, so I'm using it.

    More ram, I already have 16gb but I need some more because android rom development needs 16gb for the build vm and ides use a metric shitton of ram.

    When I was 10/11, I was bored and decided to see if I could get admin access on a school PC. It was incredibly easy, so I started seeing what else I could do. When my friend saw me, he ended up "helping" me. We installed different operating systems and still didn't get caught. Then, I started seeing if I could bypass our web filter(this was just me, it was beyond my friends skill level, he just continued getting local admin on computers). At my school, we have two filters, a local application which filters by window titles and a proxy that the council runs. I had a few ways to bypass the local app but the only practical way was to remove it completely. The filter was a bit more interesting, we couldn't access anything if it didn't first go through the proxy so I couldn't just ignore the proxy. I tried TOR but it wasn't working and web proxies are blocked by content filtering. I tried HTTP and HTML redirects and it still didn't work. For some reason, I was convinced redirects would work. I created a script that had a load of different redirects and for some reason, JavaScript redirects worked and once you got on to a site, you could browse it without being blocked. While I was doing all this, my friend was getting admin access on more PCs. What I didn't realise was he thought if he created the admin account with his username on the domain, he would get domain admin. We started wiping hard drives and installing Ubuntu on some PCs. This made them start checking PCs. They noticed that the filter app was gone and there was an admin account with a username that could be on the domain. They used this to find my friend and he told them everything. The next morning, my friend told me what had happened. I realised that if I was caught with all the tools I had on my USB(I tried a lot of smaller stuff like port scanning), I was screwed. I only had about 5 minutes before lessons started so I couldn't do much. I had around 6 USBs and I couldn't wipe them all so I decided to format them. I just assumed the technicians wouldn't know how to recover formatted data because they only know the basics. What I didn't consider is with the amount of data losses their setup has, they would have to get data recovery tools to keep their job. So, they just opened the tools, put my USBs in and clicked scan and they had all the evidence they needed. When they called my parents in, for some reason, they thought I was talking to Russian terrorists at 2 AM on TOR using fake identities and I would become a cyber terrorist. 
    TL;DR: Me and my mate got admin access on school computers, he used his actual username, I thought formatting would hide all my data from the school.

    I've always been a techie but I only really learned anything about hardware in the past 3/4 years. I used to think pc specs didn't matter and that intel and amd could fit in the same socket. When I was about 7 I started learning how to make stuff in flash, thought everything was made in flash and got confused why my flash files didn't run when I renamed the to exes.

    My dad has a "it just needs to work" mentality when it comes to tech. He is a techie(his knowledge is outdated, I had to explain to him that an i7 can fit in the same socket as an i5, he hasn't really paid much attention since he got his i7 920) so he knows what I'm talking about. I say to him that I'm considering a side panel window on my wood case and he says "There's no point, you'll go through a small stage when you want it to look good and then you'll get bored. I even have peanut shells in my case at the minute." He also says watercooling is stupid because it has a high chance of leaking and that overclocking gets no performance increase(He tried on an old AMD CPU, I haven't seen the system but it was probably on a stock cooler)
