Lucaz97 got a reaction from DocSwag in GPU upgrade
Thank you very much for your advice, I feel I'll probably go with the 480 8gb.
EDIT: is the nitro+ a good model ?

my first thought with an LMG tesla ad: "we dropped it and left it in the rain, it still works, recommended."

Lucaz97 reacted to nycesquire in Antimemetic: Scratch-built, Fully Passive, GTX 1080, SFF
Admit it, you thought I had given up, didn't you? Here's the story: I got busy with work, time passed. I started building the GPU cooling solution (which is complete - as demonstrated by the screenshot above) then three things happened:
1) I started getting into the SFF forums and well... I decided that Antimemetic was just too damn big. So much wasted space on the inside! I am not an SLI guy, so why bother with four heat sinks anyway? Where am I going to find the space for the gull wings in my tiny apartment?
2) I realized that copper wouldn't match my new office decor.
Most importantly:
3) I decided I wanted to keep it, not sell it, and I still wanted to automate it.
So I completely redesigned the thing! No copper. No hinges. Instead, low key stealth:
From the top:
And from the bottom:
Here we are without one of the heat sinks:
And without the other:
Here's a sense of size:
With a case this tiny, it'll actually be quite difficult to maneuver around inside. It is only 100mm from the inside of one heat sink to the inside of the other. Indeed, the entire width of the case, heat sinks included is less than 165mm...
SO HOW ABOUT WE AUTOMATE IT
The automation separates the heat sinks by a total of 200 mm for a total of 300mm of space inside to work. It is driven by a single large linear actuator. You can see the two rods that will push the heat sinks out. They ride on a set of drawer slides:
Let's be honest with each other though: These heat sinks are monstrously heavy. There's no guarantee that the slides will support the weight without sagging or otherwise falling apart. If, in the sad face case, the automation is unsuccessful, It'll be a dark day, but I will settle for this alternative:
An even tinier, but much simpler and sturdier case.
Next up, an in-depth description of the cooling solution (with pictars). I'd love your feedback!

Ruckus R700 enterprise wireless access point.
It cost me $1000, but every other wireless solution I've tried in my house has been trash and I literally haven't touched it since I installed it.

LAN activity probably woke it up. Especially Windows 10, I found that in default settings, Win10 systems are often very sensitive to Waking On Lan, from any traffic, not even just magic packets.

Lucaz97 reacted to Simon771 in Monitor Overclocking
Well you get higher refresh rate from it, so if you are using V-sync, you would get more fps. If your GPU can handle it.
I don't see any point in "overclocking" monitor from 60Hz to 75Hz ... I did that with mine and there was no difference to me.

That is what he in fact said. This is a build log, not a show off your set up. There is no reason to move this.

Lucaz97 got a reaction from Pinguinsan in Android Studio, accessing variables from different activities
Gotcha... I was just missing the static thing... Thank you very much!

Lucaz97 reacted to Pinguinsan in Android Studio, accessing variables from different activities
To access settings from other classes in Java, you either need to made them public and static (NOT RECOMMENDED), or private and static with public accessors. So for example:
public class MyClassWithSettings { private static int _myVariable = 5; //Access the variable public static int myVariable() { return MyClassWithSettings._myVariable; } //Set the variable public static void setMyVariable(int myVariable) { //Any error checking code for invalid values... MyClassWithSettings._myVariable = myVariable; } }
Then when you want to access it outside of the class, you can use
MyClassWithSettings.setMyVariable(100); //later... if (MyClassWithSettings.myVariable() == 5) { //Code } else if (MyClassWithSettings.myVariable() == 100) { //Other code } etc.
EDIT: This is assuming you only have 1 of these classes, because the static qualifier means there only exists 1 of the variable (so if you make a change to the variable, it changes MyClassWithSettings.myVariable() in every instance. You can of course drop all of the static identifiers above, but then you will only be able to access from an instance of that class. So if you didn't include any of the static identifiers, MyClassWithSettings.myVariable() would not compile. You'd instead need to initialize the variable in the class constructor:
public class MyClassWithSettings { private int _myVariable; public MyClassWithSettings(int myVariable) { //Constructor _myVariable = myVariable; } //Access the variable public int myVariable() { return _myVariable; } //Set the variable public void setMyVariable(int myVariable) { //Any error checking code for invalid values... _myVariable = myVariable; } }
Then later, you can access the object after creating an instance of it...
MyClassWithSettings mcws = new MyClassWithSettings(5); if (mcws.myVariable() == 5) { //As before }

It will only appear IF you have more than 1 OS on that drive.

#1: Here's what should hopefully work.
Go into your BIOS/UEFI and make Windows the first boot device Restart and Windows should just boot (no GRUB screen) Go to the Control Panel -> "Choose what the power buttons do" option -> Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable" near the top -> Uncheck the "Turn on fast startup" Power down the PC and wait 10 second and tun the PC back on Power down again, then reboot to you BIOS/UEFI Make Fedora default again and reboot Once in Fedora, open a terminal and type the following: su grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg Reboot and see if Windows is there, and if so, try and boot from that option.
#2: If the above does not work at any step, then Windows will need to be added manually.
In Fedora, open a terminal and type the following: su vi /etc/grub.d/40_custom Then added the following: menuentry "Windows" { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,msdos1)' chainloader +1 } Note, since the location of the Windows installation can differ widely, I need to explain the “set root” line because (hd0,msdos1) refers to /dev/sda1 on the PC. More generally, hd0 (or /dev/sda elsewhere) refers to the first hard disk installed in any PC with hd1 (or /dev/sdb elsewhere) being the second, and so on. Make the changes to the "set root" line to reflect where your Windows installation is located. Lastly remake GRUB: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg Reboot and see if Windows is there, and if so, try and boot from that option. -

Fedora is my favorite flavor of Linux for a desktop. Ubuntu is still my favorite for a server or a phone although.
Anyways, start with a VM. Don't even think of dual booting until you VM it. Being a new Linux user, YOU WILL BREAK IT! haha.
If you're serious about Linux just install it and forget Windows. Otherwise, if you have to keep Windows, and you're serious about Linux, just buy yourself a second small SSD (I mean you can get a 250GB for less than $100 now, just do it) and then install it on there. Once you do that, its as simple as including the OS in your boot log.

Specifying the Default Operating System for StartupIf you have more than one operating system on your computer, you can set the operating system that you want to use as the default one for when you start your computer:
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System. On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings. Under System startup, in the Default operating system list, click the operating system that you want to start when you turn on or restart your computer. Select the Display list of operating systems for check box, and then type the number of seconds for which you want the list displayed before the default operating system starts automatically.
To manually edit the boot options file, click Edit. Microsoft strongly recommends that you do not modify the boot options file (Boot.ini), because doing so may render your computer unusable. -

My laptop is a Windows 10 and Fedora 23 dual boot. It's not too difficult thankfully. You may want to look up a more detailed tutorial, since I can't recall the exact screens during the install (been awhile), but it's more or less like this:
Backup any important data (always the first step) Shrink your partition to the size Fedora will take & keep in blank (or add a 2nd HDD as you mention you may do) Boot to the install media (CD or USB) Click on the Installation Destination & make sure to pick only the partition/disk you want (don't accidentally overwrite Windows) Click next, setting time zone, making accounts/passwords, etc until the install in finished & reboot Check the BIOS/UEFI and make Fedora the default boot device (this is so GRUB loads) GRUB will ask what OS you want to boot to on each startup.
