  1. I'd reinstall windows as a starting place
  2. You'd be better off just running whatever services you want, whether its immich or other things, in a docker container and calling it a day Then just leave your system on
  3. For 50 bucks with a small sub they're fine enough I enjoy a good pair of speakers, but use pebbles at my desk. They were cheap, looked nice, and surprisingly sound decent
  4. -Moved to Graphics Cards- You should also know we have a tech news section for this type of posting
  5. Plexamp works, I believe. Gives it a nice UI/package too.
  6. -Threads Merged- @Black_Mage You can edit your posts - no need to repost.
  7. Admin powershell will let you do some egregious stuff.
  8. Pro tip: don't touch the 220° hotend on your 3D printer

      Yeah I don't know what makes the brain shut down occasionally... I looked at the end of my soldering iron once and thought that too looks loose... 

      I learned the hard way at the age of 16 that the Stouffer's Lasagna pan is NOT structural when heated, and WILL buckle as you attempt to it it by the sides out of the oven.

      Losing / wasting food is just rubbing salt in wound... Don't those cook for a really long time too?

      Oh, I didn't lose it, it never even made it off the rack, it just gooped more toward the middle as my thumb knuckle made a rapid unscheduled collision with the top of the oven body. 

      One dime-sized blister later and a week of gauze pads, you'd never be able to tell it happened (somehow). 

      And yeah, it was like a 50 minute cook time.

  9. Are you absolutely certain there's no 8 pin? Are you sure there isn't a 6+2 pin? If it doesnt, I would highly suggest looking at replacing that unit at the same time That being said, I don't think the 6600 is enough of a performance boost to upgrade to anyway
  10. Listen, I’m open to other models- if you can find another system that has the same power efficiency, build quality and processing speed please let me know Modern ultrabooks rarely allow upgradeability, and if they do they come with caveats to the benefits mentioned above However if you’re only here to promote a negative sentiment towards Mac devices, you are not in the correct place. You are free to make arguments, however you have not assisted OP in finding another model with these requirements you keep mentioning.
  11. Yep, I don’t think anyone’s arguing otherwise in that one. MacBooks are generally a good options because the software is robust, well documented and accessible - while the hardware is durable - albeit not the cheapest.
  12. I've done my entire undergrad, come and gone developer jobs and personal development jobs on macOS - its entirely fine for any sort of software work. It is not as 'locked down' as you may think. While linux is a dominant operating system in the field, I don't know a single developer in my relations that is actively using Linux as their primary OS to work on artificial intelligence. As I also mentioned prior in this thread - the school likely has a cluster students will have access to, to run software.
  13. -Thread Cleaned- While frustrating in some cases here, please try to keep a mindful attitude. OP if you want specific answers, please be cooperative rather than condescending.
  14. I doubt you're going to need a lot of local compute power - your school should have a VM cluster for you to run software on. If you're unsure, contact their faculty
  15. - Moved to Laptops and Pre-Built Systems - Please don't dump threads in General Discussion.
