The original X was replaced with the XS.

The X was dropped from the lineup.

When exactly did this happen? 

Hi all,

I want to get an IT certification to be ready for an entry-level job, companies might have for high schoolers/people getting in the 1st year of college. I heard all about CCNA, CompTIA A+, Network+, CEH but I don't know which one to get so that I can be set for the interview.

Is there one in specific that is good to take, keep in mind that I have a good computing background.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi all,

So I'll be making a website for personal reasons and I just bought the domain yesterday, now I do not know what to do.

So I saw that I have to buy this "web hosting" package (let's say I buy it from Namecheap), how can I transfer it to Wix.com?  Does "web hosting" mean that they'll have all the storage and they'll give me all the templates for my website or do I transfer the package to wix.com so then I can start making the website? I am a little confused here.

Thanks in advanced 

Hi all,

When I was looking at VPN's, I saw that there was an option with port-forwarding when buying it. Then I thought, what is port forwarding? Searching this term on google just gives really short explanations that I don't really understand. Can someone give me an example where you would have to use port forwarding as an option when doing something? I am very confused about this topic.

Thank you so much (In advanced)

i installed the Hybrid cooler on my 1070 SC. pretty good, but i think the FTW version may have better overclock capabilities.

If they are the same GPU, you can get more or less the same performance results. 

 

An Asus GTX 550ti has a higher stock clock but the reference design can achieve the same overclock as the Asus variant.

 

The FTW cards are the highest performing variant of the EVGA cards.

Is their any drawbacks of the HYBRID cooler? Like I am worried that the cooler might break or something. Should I get the FTW card? 

Hi all,

Here are some questions I have about Linus' newly posted video about the 60GHZ band. (sorry if they sound a little nooby);

1.When you want to extend the signal to a wireless access point, will the access point itself run on 60GHz and the same internet speed or will something change?

2.Will the speed of your internet signal be bottle necked if your wireless internet card that you have on your PC can only handle a certain speed that is lower than the speed your router is giving?

3.When you receive your internet through a Ethernet cable, you don't have to worry about what generation your router is right? (ex. 802.11ac/ad/g/d)

Thanks in advanced

Hi all,

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Tv38TW/evga-geforce-gtx-1070-8gb-sc-gaming-acx-30-video-card-08g-p4-6173-kr

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rQdFf7/evga-geforce-gtx-1070-8gb-ftw-hybrid-video-card-08g-p4-6278-kr 

Comparing these two GPU's which one would be the best? Why would I buy a hybrid GPU? I am only planning to do some overclocking but not alot. Is their any advantages/disadvantages of having a HYBRID GPU? Can you point me towards some videos that explain this? I am having some problems deciding between the two. Thanks in advanced!

It is a link between the northbridge and southbridge on the motherboard. Direct Media Interface 

He said that it is 3.0, and that is better then all the other chipsets Intel released. What difference does that make on the overall build?

Hi all,

I saw that Linus referred to a think in his video that I didn't understand. If you see the video about the Core i9 Review, he states that the new x299 chipset has DMI Link x4 3.0 . What in the world is that? Does that mean that is has 4 DMI Link "things" in the chipset? 

Thanks in advance and sorry for the nooby question. 

Hi all,

When you choose a CPU, it saids the maximum supported RAM it could have, why does the CPU choose that? If you put more ram then it wants for example if the max is 32gb but you but 64gb will it bottleneck? 

Hi all,

I see alot of people buying capture cards but I really don't know how they work? I know that some have HDMI in and out but how exactly does it work? Do you connect the card to your monitor and it captures everything there and then put it to a hard drive you connected it to? 

Thanks in advanced

It's bound by how the manufacturer set it up on the board. Some boards might offer the ability to change how lanes are allocated, but if they don't, there's nothing you can do

 

Except for shoddy mods

Only the high end chipset support splitting the cpu lanes. 

 

Virtue ssd just use chipset lanes 

 

You can lower than lanes by putting tape on some pins on the pcie connector. 

So what happens if you run SLI on 2 GPU's that are on a x16 board/CPU? Will one of them won't work or will the CPU automatically make both of them run on x8?

Hi all,

I was just wondering, if you have a 16 lane CPU, and you have a GPU running on x16, can you change it to run to x8 if you want to add a PCIE SSD? Even if you don't add it, how can you change the amount of lanes a GPU will run on your system?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi all,

This couple of months I haven't been too active on Social media and I haven't look at a lot of Ryzen information. Can anyone recommend some videos talking about ryzen and all about it. Also, come video that explain how it compares to other CPU's? Thanks in advanced!

yes, sadly some scammers usually use "secure sites" to fool users into giving them information. 

But doesn't the scammer have to know the little key the server gave the user to send the encrypted message through their website?

There's no such thing.

 

You have to configure the web server to serve content encrypted (listen on port 443 along with regular port 80 for http) and you need a valid SSL certificate in order for encrypted communication to work ( a ssl certificate is like a notebook which contains a "public password" that's used by both the web server and the person accessing the website to create some secret passwords that are then used to encrypt content)

 

Public tests simply check the SSL certificate for the authenticity, to make sure it wasn't "hacked" or altered in such a way as to allow people to go between you and the website and snoop on the communication.

 

Let's Encrypt is an organization that makes it easier to install SSL certificates and obtain SSL certificates : https://letsencrypt.org/how-it-works/

 

These are basic certificates, for websites that handle payments or more serious stuff, some browsers don't consider these free certificates good enough, you have to pay up to hundreds of dollars per year for a valid certificate from a more respected organization.

 

Most web browsers try to encourage usage of encryption, of SSL (serving pages through https) by refusing to talk to web servers using the more modern and faster  HTTP/2 protocol (as opposed to HTTP/1.1 which is now years old) unless those web servers have encryption enabled.

 

That's why some websites enable it even though technically it's not really required, like on this forum for example, where most of your posts are public anyway and indexed by Google within seconds from your posting.

 

 

 

Can the owner of the site see the content that is moved from one end to another? Or does the owner have to know the key that the sever gave the user?

I work on websites daily, and all you need is an SSL certificate to change over to HTTPS, since all modern versions of Apache, Nginx, and LightSpeed (the software serving your webpages) can serve pages over both port 80 and port 443 natively. If you have a specific question about how to make it happen on a particular site, I might be able to help, otherwise you can find more info here: https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/what-ssl-do-i-need/

HTTPS (Hypertext Transport Protocol Secure), HTTPS is useful for sites that collect and transmit personal information. Banks, e-commerce sites, social networks and online schools need to have HTTPS in place to make sure's sensitive information is protected.

According to this site ; http://www.howto-expert.com/how-to-get-https-setting-up-ssl-on-your-website/ if you buy a certificate and activate it, your website automatically changes to https, please correct me if i'm wrong. This could mean that your website can change to https even when your website isn't secure. Also, can a scammer make a https website so that he can scam everyone that send information through his site, their customers will think that the website would be secure. 

Hi all,

Is there like a test online or something that tests the security of a website and if it passes the test, then the website will get transferred/changed to https? What does a website have to do in order to get https certified?

Thanks in advance.

dual sim phones are usually unlocked 

ive never encountered a dual sim phone thats locked (the point of dual sim is to allow freedom.. right? (its like being in america and not being able to fly .. wait..)

the difference is that you can have two sims in the phone and use it at once

for example, sim 1 is text/calls only and sim 2 is data only

 

But when you put a sim from an ISP in a dual sim phone, doesn't it ever get locked? Doesn't the ISP lock the phone right after it puts one of their sims in the phone? Also, you mentioned putting 2 sims in the phone, would you able to do that with 2 different SIM's from 2 different ISP's?

Hi everyone,

I am just curious if I would buy a phone that comes with dual sims, does that mean that if I go to another country and use the internet providers that they have there, may I be able to do that? What exactly is the difference between only 1 sim and dual sim phones? 

Thanks

Hi all,

If I put these color values in my code

http://prntscr.com/ea2xt7

Which one will be displayed on a more advanced browser and why? Will the normal RGB display even though the browser supports RGBA?

Thanks,

So I watched this video;

And I have so many questions, what does he mean that one of the routers have a dual band antenna. I do understand that it supports 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ frequency but does that mean that you can divide the amount of bandwidth a certain device in your house can use? What is the advantage of a router that has multiple antenna? Thanks in advanced! 

No watercooling?

Both are really good and very known Linus distrobuations but I do perfer Ubinto as a OS becaise it is mreo user friendly. It really depends on what you are using the OS's on.
