  1. Hello all. I'm looking for firewall software recommendations, and where better to ask but LTT forums? I'm running windows 10 64 and haven't installed a firewall and have had windows defender firewall disabled since I installed windows a while ago. However now I'm in need of a way to disable certain programs from accessing my network/internet and really that's the only feature I care about. I used to rock ZoneAlarm but I feel it's gotten too bloated nowadays and I'm looking for a more lightweight firewall that isn't going to be trying to self-monitor my connections or show me ads to upgrade to the full version and things like that. Any suggestions are appreciated. thanks!
  2. Because who wouldn't want to work on excel on a 4 inch screen?
  3. Took the cable from a junk case's front panel. Wasn't going to spend $10 on a custom short one and I wasn't going to make one either! Things you'll need: Tape (scotch tape didn't work that well, avoid) Time estimate: Like, 5 minutes. Result: Pretty good, if you ask me. Disclaimer: Not recommended for cases with side windows
  4. Short version: My sister lives in a different house with her own internet and ip address. (but I have full access to her house and net equipment) I'm trying to think of a way I can make it seem like I'm browsing from her home network from my home? Any ideas? Long version: My sister has directv at her house, which gives her access to stream live TV to a browser. The thing is, the service only gives you a select few channels you can watch live if you're not connecting to the service via the home network of the person registered with them. So what I'd like to do is make it seem like I'm at my sisters house to the service, but really I'm in my own home and accessing it from there. I'm looking for the lightest solution possible, as in not buying any equipment or having to run multiple programs but I totally will if need be. Thanks !
  5. Doesn't look important. Don't even worry about it. But if you do worry about it, just watch a PS3 teardown video or go here https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/PlayStation+3+Teardown/1260 and go throw until you see that piece where it is originally.
  6. What switches is the keyboard using? Do you get to choose?
  7. really tight budget for the whole shabang. do you need a keyboard/mouse/mousepad/headset too?
  8. I'd buy the shit out of that msi shirt if it was for sale.
  9. I use single boot SSDs in all the machines in my house and I use a Synology 2-bay NAS with 2 2TB WD Red drives as my centralized storage. i use it for torrenting and media and whatever hoo-ha that isn't programs. Pretty much anything that doesn't execute goes on the NAS and everything that does goes on the SSDs. I hope I win!!!
  10. You won't really get any improvement from using the siberia v2's with a sound card, the siberia v2's use a built in sound card despite the 3.5mm jacks. The sound card is needed to handle the noise cancelling microphone.
  11. Heh. The glossy part is pretty easy to clean, just wipe it down with a wet paper towel and it looks like new, I just don't do that :rolleyes: That's not the part of the keyboard I touch so I don't care how clean or dirty it is :D
  12. I don't think it's a matter of cleanliness, eventually all of your keyboards will look like this and will require a cleaning. How long eventually is depends on how clean you are, but it's still inevitable. For me it took about a year.
  13. Last cleaning was about 1 year ago. Yeah... MUCH better. note: If you have Cherry MX, Alps, or Topre switch keyboard, use a keycap puller tool or risk damage to your caps and switches.
  14. I'd like to see some frame rating benchmarks, though.
  15. That's normal at that resolution. General rule of thumb is a 1920x1080 resolution will use just under 2gb vram tops in modern games, and 2560x1440 is almost twice that resolution.
  16. Before nvidia cracked down on overvolting, overclocking a 660ti was enough to bridge the gap caused by the extra memory controller on the 670. but now a 660ti can't be pushed as far, leaving the performance gap between it and the 670 much more intact.
  17. Nothing wrong with ordering from Korea.
  18. I don't know if you know this, but you said LED vs LED. One of those is probably on purpose, so I should explain that LED refers to the kind of backlight a monitor is using.. and generally you don't compare monitors solely on the kind of backlight they use. And most monitors today are using CCFL or LED backlighting, and in terms of those 2, an LED backlight is better. If you meant LCD vs LED, then you should know that LCD is a display and LED is what lights up that display. So LCD monitors are using either CCFL or LED backlighting. There are different kinds of LCD panels that you can learn about here but whatever panel you pick, I recommend going with one with LED backlighting if you can afford it. If you want my recommendation, I suggest going ASUS, their monitors are top-notch. And if I were buying a monitor today, I would go with this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236292 it's an LED backlight monitor with an IPS panel, good stand, 1080p, and of course, it's ASUS, so you know it's got good build quality and it'll last you a while.
  19. You're just being ocd -.- makes a 0% difference and you still take the time to make a thread about it.
