Sentryy got a reaction from Matthew_innes in I need help
Get everything I told you to, except the cooler your current one is fine. If you can, get this this also includes an SSD because hard drives are slow. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/s7NWMp Just install windows on the SSD along with a few programs.

Sentryy reacted to BurblingBarbacoa in Work(gaming) build
Pretty good. Go for the skylake build
Dont cheap out on the cooler. Go for at least somthing like a hyper 212 evo or a BeQuiet shadow rock 2 get a mass storage drive to go with that SSD. Maybe a 1tb WD blue the power supply is ok, however, you could go lower wattage and better. I'd reccomend it grab two fans for that case. It only comes with two exhaust. Two 140mm at the front would be good. Dual 4gb stick would be better than a single 8gb -
Sentryy reacted to Vengeance_K1ng in What is TOR, and should you use it?
PLEASE NOTE: TOR can be used to access illegal services and websites, I do not in anyway endorse or encourage anyone to access these types of websites and use of their services.
What Tor Does
Tor is short for The Onion Router (thus the logo) and was initially a worldwide network of servers developed with the U.S. Navy that enabled people to browse the internet anonymously. Now, it's a non-profit organization whose main purpose is the research and development of online privacy tools.
The Tor network disguises your identity by moving your traffic across different Tor servers, and encrypting that traffic so it isn't traced back to you. Anyone who tries would see traffic coming from random nodes on the Tor network, rather than your computer.
To access this network, you just need to download the Tor browser. Everything you do in the browser goes through the Tor network and doesn't need any setup or configuration from you. That said, since your data goes through a lot of relays, it's slow, so you'll experience a much more sluggish internet than usual when you're using Tor.
What Tor Is Good For
If you want to be anonymous—say, if you live under a dictatorship, you're a journalist in an oppressive country, or a hacker looking to stay hidden from the government—Tor is one of the easiest ways to anonymize your traffic, and it's free. It's far from perfect, though (we'll get to that in a moment).
On a more general level, Tor is useful for anyone who wants to keep their internet activities out of the hands of advertisers, ISPs, and web sites. That includes people getting around censorship restrictions in their country, police officers looking to hide their IP address, or anyone else who doesn't want their browsing habits linked to them.
Tor's technology isn't just about browsing anonymously. It can also host web sites through its hidden services that are only accessible by other Tor users.
What Tor Doesn't Do
Tor is handy, but it's far from perfect. Don't think just because you're using Tor that you're perfectly anonymous. Someone like the NSA can tell if you're a Tor user and that makes them more likely to target you. With a enough work, the government can figure out who you are. Motherboard points to a recent FBI bust that shows how this might work:
Furthermore, anonymity is not the same as security. It's hard to hack into the Tor network, but the browser is a different story. As we found at least year, the NSA can get into your browser a lot easier than it can the network and once it does, it gets access to everything else. So, "man in the middle" style attacks on Tor are still possible with help of internet service providers. Tor responded to these possible attacks with these comments:
As the How-To Geek points out, you still need to use HTTPS whenever possible to protect yourself from man-in-the-middle style attacks. Likewise, Tor's only as strong as its browser, which has had security flaws before, so it's worth making sure you always have the newest version.
So Should You Use Tor?
As we mentioned above, if you're an average user looking at cat GIFs and browsing Facebook, you probably don't need to worry about the government spying on your activity, and Tor is just going to slow down your connection. It's more likely that you need to secure your internet rather than anonymize it, say, when you're using public Wi-Fi. In that case, you'd want to make sure you're using HTTPS on all sites that support it, and possibly even use a VPN to encrypt all your traffic when you're away from home.

Sentryy reacted to Starglider in Help me decide what to build
I wont touch any case that doesn't have drive slots for optical +. Optical is still essential IMO.

Sentryy got a reaction from Jwalbrecht2000 in SPILLED DRINK ON MY MOUSE!
If you wash it with water, and then let it FULLY dry for a week or two, it will most likely work. I would test it after a few days of sitting in rice. Then do the water method if it is sticky.

Sentryy reacted to Howlingwolf101 in SPILLED DRINK ON MY MOUSE!
if you can take it apart without breaking it, that might be a good idea. This helps make sure all the moisture gets out. Afterwords, your mouse should run faster because it's charged with all those electrolytes.

Sentryy got a reaction from ShadowCaptain in Anyone order a dell xps 13 or 15 from the dell website?
My alienware came in a week, probably because i am a 5 minute drive from a Dell service center. Same thing with amazon warehouse I can literally walk to one in <10 minutes.

Sentryy reacted to ALwin in What is better video editing?
Another point to consider is (I am going to say THIS IS JUST A HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE)
Instead of spending $10,000 on a maxed out Mac Pro, you can consider buying 3-4 decently configured 27" 5K iMacs.
If you have only one editing machine, no matter how powerful it is, that single machine will be a bottleneck. Having multiple "workstations" so that you can have different people/teams working on different projects or parts of the same project at the same time can be a time saver.
With a single machine, you'll be working on one project at a time and there can be a long queue.
Why do I recommend having multiple workstations: Because as a general guideline, 1 minute of recorded footage may use up between 30-60 minutes of editing time. So if you have videos piling up that need to be edited....

Sentryy reacted to Jade in Good free Proxy/VPN
I used to use PrivateInternetAccess -- stopped in favor of hosting my own, with NordVPN being what I used before that. Both NordVPN and PrivateInternetAccess are excellent and will serve you well. Go with NordVPN if cost is the absolute highest concern.
-
Sentryy reacted to Jade in Good free Proxy/VPN
Spoiler: Typically, the paid editions of VPNs will typically not sell your information. I never said otherwise. I spoke strictly of free VPNs having to make money somehow, and that's pretty inclusive of selling your information. Just because they have a paid option does not mean they grant the same privileges to the free users. I don't have to be "the highest position at VPN service", there's, once again, legal evidence that PIA (and I believe Nord) do NOT have the logs to provide their overseeing government upon their request.
