    Slottr got a reaction from Issac Zachary in What is the Apple Ecosystem and why do people like it?   
    There's no other array of hardware that matches how well Apple's works together. It's incredibly seamless. 
     
    When those reference "the ecosystem" its the collection of phones, laptops, watches, tablets, desktops, etc that all work extremely well together over apples existing infrastructure. 
     
    People aren't buying iPhones for the hardware. They're fine for performance, but the software is really robust. The cameras are at most fine, and they perform heavy tasks fine. 
     
    Because of market share, developers generally focus on iOS rather than Android as that is where the significance of their sales are. 
     
    This was communicated, but not well enough. There's an existing overlap of Apple Music and its accessory apps on Windows, however iTunes is still technically supported. I believe they're in an extremely odd transition period.

    You have to keep the application running. It needs the client on both ends to connect. Killing the app kills the tether

    The settings you have within the application don't matter if the service isn't running in the first place

    Slottr got a reaction from Needfuldoer in Ethernet only providing half the speed on my PC(works fine on other devices)   
    What speeds are you expecting? How are you testing? 
     
    You could try a USB->Ethernet adapter to see if this bypasses the issue.

    I would honestly just start with the GPU, and see if you're still upset with performance. 9900K is still a really good chip.

    Slottr reacted to dizmo in Steelseries "Support" as they like to call it, themselves.   
    I think this can be boiled down to:
    You didn't give them any money, so they don't owe you any support. You are not their customer.
     
    It's common sense that you won't have coverage if you buy items used. You got a deal, and anything that happens after that is on you, not the manufacturer.
     
    It's unfortunate that it bricked your mouse, but that's why there's a warranty. Shit happens. It's not like it's a widespread issue. If it was, and every mouse was bricking, then perhaps you'd have more of a leg to stand on.

    Cheap and international university in Canada doesn't exist. If you're looking at more affordable computer related education, you'll probably want to look at a polytechnic

    Slottr got a reaction from NinJake in Advice for a First Time PC Build   
    You can't really go wrong with any of the popular ones. Fractals cases are some of my favorite to build in as they're designed in a very friendly manor 
     
    Depends on what you're referencing in terms of compatibility. Both architectures have instruction sets that really shouldn't disrupt any form of modern software development. 
     
    Depends on the platform you want, but don't overspend. In USD, you shouldn't ever have to go over 250$ on a motherboard, and even that is stretching it. 
    On the AMD side, stick to Gigabyte's Aorus line or AsRock's mid tier boards. MSI and Asus are still have trouble on the AM5 platform, as far as I know. 
     
    On Intel, I would just stick to B660/B760 boards as they're cheaper and you won't be losing a lot dropping the overclocking capability of the Z boards.

    Slottr reacted to Eigenvektor in Trying to achieve generics without using pointers in C.   
    There are ways to mix C and C++, but you need to keep your code compatible with C, so "real" generics are out.
     
    To make the code reusable, ideally you would turn that array list into a generic class (in C++) that can be instantiated and reused wherever needed (of course, if it wasn't for learning purposes you'd use std::list instead of rolling your own)
     
    If your list creates a copy, then yes you can reuse your original variable. You just need to be careful if you're dealing with pointers. If the list stores a pointer instead and you change/reuse the value it is pointing to, then your list would now be pointing to the changed value instead.

    Even if you do use it outside the network, you still wont see benefit out of it. Equal concurrent session number, as all geforce cards are. This means you can only use live encoding on 5 devices before it just dont want to process it at driver level.

    Just eyeballing some benchmarks, you'd be losing performance across the board if you went with a 14600k.
     
    And even if you had scenarios where it pulled ahead, it wouldn't be by any meaningful margin
