Yep, the Roku 4 is the most recent device and the only one that is 4k compatible. I didn't say I was using the newest device, but the newest/updated Roku 2 (i.e. it has two incarnations). The number of the device does not specifically equate to the order of release i.e. current Roku 2 vs original Roku 3.
In terms of content, the Roku generally appears to be the most cross-platform and have the most channels available. Last time I checked, the Apple TV doesn't naively support Amazon Prime or Instant Video, although support for certain channels could of course be subject to change across all devices. Most platforms tend to prioritize it's own content (Amazon Prime / Itunes / Google Play etc) whereas the Roku seems a pretty much platform agnostic. Arguably it's a bit less polished than a dedicated Apple or Google device (Apple TV or Nexus Player) and isn't quite as integrated in their respective ecosystems. But, it is the most likely play the channels you want and without pushing any particular service. I'm using the newest Roku 2, really happy with it.
KDE, like you said, is the big behemoth of desktop environments as far as memory use goes. But it's also super customizeable and has a lot of options (which is part of why it uses up so much memory). Cinnamon is the main, default DE for Mint, and is based on GNOME in an attempt to emulate the original look-and-feel of GNOME 2. It's pretty middle-of-the-road in terms of memory use, but is pretty good-looking, easy to use, and reasonably customizeable. XFCE is one of the two big players in the lightweight desktop environment game: it strives to use as few resources as possible, while still providing a lot of customizeability and functionality. (The other, more lightweight DE is LXDE, which has fewer features and options, but is the most lightweight DE around that I know of).
Honestly, I'd say go with the regular Cinnamon version. It's a pretty great desktop environment, and tou can install KDE/XFCE/whatever and switch between them when you log in, so you're not really tied down to your choice of desktop environment.
No, it would not have enough power. You need to power the SATA power cable with something. The proper way would be to get a proper external closure, or to ghetto rig the drive to power from your PC's power and have the USB end on the laptop. I have to admit, I've never seen a SATA to USB cable like that though.
when that had that glitch where you could sell a car over and over and keep the car still i did that, i made 20 mill doing that for like 10 hours straight. i pimped out my car to make it sell for like 100k or close to 100k and then did that.
otherwise trh fasted way is to join heists and hope they give you a cut dont do the heist yourself or you'll have to spend money.
or you know buy shark cards $100 for like 6 or 8 mill i think (waste)
So I recently started playing GTA V on the pc....and i like playing online... im currently rank 6 and am not a patient person...
I currently have $135,000 (With a meh car and like...a heavy pistol...and no house/garage)
Looking to buy: the best house (the one with the telescope and the outlook)----> Then Nice Weapons ---> then A nice card...then..the high end one with the telescope and such...i would say the yacht but that would take me to long
what i did/do to earn money:
1.) I did a Heist setup mission or two
2.) Every 48 minutes...if i remember i log into GTA V online and steal a car and sell it for $4,000 to $9,000
3.) If im willing, i rob a store
What else can i do to Get fast money or RP or such WITHOUT MODDED LOBBIES OR SUCH? Please and thanks
I just received my very first mechanical keyboard(Logitech g810) today and i must say i'm loving it. Image below. So i was wondering, what is your keyboard and what does your desktop(literally top of your desk) look like?
Here is my PC desk. I am a simple guy.
The keyboard is a Turtle Beach Impact 500 w/ Cherry MX Blues, the mouse is a Razer DA Chroma and the headset is an HyperX Cloud I (White model). The mat is a Steelseries QcK XXl.
I'm now saving some money to buy a new mech. I was looking at the new Cooler Master RGB models, the Masterkeys Pro S and Pro L.
I'll probably buy a Pro S with Browns when they become available. I already have a black Vortex PBT/POM backlit keyset to go with it.
This is my basic security guide for your technology. This will include basic settings on routers, modems, servers and computers as well as techniques, tools and other things you can use to find and remove malware/backdoors and prevent exploitation. This guide will not include antivirus software, if you want one. Go for it, I use one but these days there are only a select few which are even decently good and most people already know of them.
And besides, is an antivirus going to protect you against getting exploited, getting a payload run and backdoors remotely controlled from a machine done by a hacker in their bedroom? Nope.
Post-introduction notes: If you have an LTT theme, and cannot see the text. Post a comment and I will try to fix it. Just so you know.
Network Security:
Everything coming from the WAN starts at your home network. (pretty much). And so its important to make it as secure as possible, One of the most important features of your router (hopefully ) is your firewall. This controls what is allowed in and out. The default configuration allows all traffic out of the network but no traffic in, unless its through certain ports such as port 80.
This is why there is port forwarding, so you can allow connections through your firewall to a computer, so a server can be accessed by the internet.
So, because of this generally its not a good idea to port forward unless you have a reason too. This will increase your protection significantly, as there isn't a directly open port an attacker can get through.
Anonymity is very precious in the Security world because it allows you to be at more security, if someone doesn't know you exist how can they attack you. For that same reason, if you 'stealth' your open/closed ports then an attacker doesn't know which ports are open or closed. Or even available for that matter.
This is actually a pretty easy process as long as your router actually offers a setting for it, most routers will actually come with this by default. But, if you can drop incoming packets which aren't authorized, then an attacker will have no response. And generally your router will not respond with anything.
The easiest and most accessible way of testing this out for yourself is to head over to GRC (The Gibson Research Cooperation) and go to Shields Up.
https://www.grc.com/shieldsup
This will, in short terms. Run a port scan of several ports remotely to see if they are open, closed or not responding (invisible).
This is useful as it allows you to see what your router does in reaction to a probe. Some router firewalls will do nothing, until they detect the probe and then will proceed to stealth the ports. This is good, but also bad. So, run it on common ports and all service ports to see what your router's reaction is. If it shows up as failed, try to change some settings to stealth yourself.
DNS servers can also be a factor here, but generally its only a threat in large attacks on an ISP aiming at lots of people. So in short terms, trust your isp security and if their dns servers get spoofed, the cache gets poisoned or something blame them.
Intranet Security:
This part is more a local part. There might be a black hat living across the road. if so, you should definitely follow this
Wifi encryption is pretty important to keeping the badguys out. I was running a local scan and found a couple neighbors with WEP security. Which is pretty useless these days. You probably already know to use WPA2. Which most routers have unless your running a very old one.
The settings you should turn off is WPS (unless you plan on using it). Which isn't necessarily as insecure and people think. None the less, its quite insecure and should be turned off unless you actually plan on using it, which most people never do. You should also turn off UPNP which can allow acess to your network even through your firewall, and can be exploited. However, if you want to torrent without port forwarding or something, its a good idea to have it on. But, don't have it on unless you plan on using it.
Lastly, try to change your wireless password every so often, about every 30 to 90 days. Its certainly not needed, but it can be useful considering every network can be hacked into. Its just a matter of time. So, its a good habbit to get into. Also, try to make your passwords at least 16 characters long. Preferably 30 characters. With numbers, letters, symbols, spaces and also hex codes if you want even more security.
Moving on from wifi, the setting and firewalls of your network computers are also very important. Generally, you want every computer inside the network to have a firewall. While it doesn't need to be hardcore, it just needs to be able to handle the personal connections, as well as the inside-the-network connections. This can help if someone is trying to compromise a computer inside the network, while being inside the network as it is entirely possible.
Windows Firewall is all you need, it has pretty good settings by default.
Protection For Individual Computers:
This is a pretty crucial part. Hackers can still gain access to systems through drive by downloads and malware so its important to protect yourself as best as you can. As said previously, this will not include antivirus software.
A great way of securing your computer against exploitaion is using EMET, short for Enhanced Mitigation Experien Toolkit
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/jj653751
This enhances the default Windows security features which just allow DEP for programs that want it. This will do that for certain programs you choose, and will also add other security features such as ASLR.
Note: Some antivirus software have this built in, if yours does. There is no need to use EMET. If your using Avast, AVG, Avira or Microsoft Security Essentials which are popular antivirus suites, they do NOT include these features by default.
Other ways you can improve your security is by using a different browser than, internet explorer. And hopefully get a script blocking addon with a default deny system. Blocking all scripts unless allowed. These can be inconvenient. But, if you think of it from an attackers perspective, a browser is a tool. Which automatically runs scripts on their computer allowing you to pull off pretty sophisticated attacks.
Making sure Windows Settings can also help allot:
Make sure your system is frequently patched. It not being patched gives attackers options, as previously discovered vulnerabilities can be exploited if your system isn't patched.
Don't install software you don't need. Every piece of software and every program is an entry point if vulnerable.
Make sure UAC is enabled, and if possible don't run as administrator/root unless you need too.
Disable File Sharing and IPV6 if you don't need or use it. IPV6 can be exploited on Windows.
If you use file sharing make sure its password encrypted. If you don't use RDP disable remote connections and if you don't use powershell. Make sure running scripts is disabled.
Make sure to never let any program you don't trust run as root. It could cause quite allot of damage.
Also keep in mind viruses aren't just .exe files. They can be hidden in images, run in text files, batch files, VBS scripts and even be third party scripts such as Python and Ruby, which antivirus software doesn't protect against, unless the heuristics are top notch.
What Should You Take From This?
Only the stuff you think you could use, I don't even do all of this. This is pretty basic stuff, but can make a difference.
Keep in mind too, that safe browsing habbits and common sense doesn't protect you. Your brain does.
The best protection is access control. So, its best to lock everything down.
Think of it like this. Because you have connections coming in and out of your computer all the time its almost like letting strangers into your house. Do you leave your house completely open to them or be smart and lock certain doors and make sure the locks change every so often to people cant break the locks over time.
