  1. I'm currently using the free version of Mouse Share and it's really basic, but on today's tech quicky, Linus offered Synergy for $9 and I was wondering if you guys could answer some questions? First, can I configure it to work from start even on the lock screen? It's super annoying to move around wires it the event that I need to shut down. Can I configure it not to swap screens in full-screen apps like games, Mouse share doesn't offer that in the free version? Thank you very much and have a great day!
  2. Built a pretty sweet budget gaming rig but then I hear the siren calls of MacOs and got myself an older IMac. I use the Imac as a screen and for productivity and the PC as a gaming machine. Its really Ying Yang, Pc has tons of fans and clicking hdds and the mac is dead quiet and I like it was the daily driver of the two. What should I call it, Ebony and Ivory, Windows 10S(ierra :p) I5-2500k Gtx 1050ti 12gb ddr3 2010 I3 21.5 Imac
  3. Sometimes, anything above 0 is a success. Here is my Super top secret glass cannon build. Tell your mom you need a memory card for school and then pretend like you lost it and get her to buy another,BAM FLASH STORAGE RAID, now you have 32gbs of pure performance and about two weeks before you burn up the write cycles. I used this one myself when my college laptop hdd died and I constructed the greatest machine known to man....THE TRASHBOOK PRO
  4. See, here is where you are wrong, speed is relative so feeling like you are going faster is just as good as actually going faster. Two hard drives humming away like a V8 under the hood MAKES YOU FEEL like a real man!
  5. So, you want to speed up that old OEM system in your parent's den, well I have some tips for you. I have 24-years of experience in not having money to get decent performance. I've tried(or thought about trying) of Everything under the sun and I'm here to share 3 steps Sandisk and Adata don't want you to know. 1. Short Stroking: reducing your drive space may seem like a detriment, but since you are probably going to kill yourself before filling up that 5,400rpm drive, it's better to choose more speed. 2. R.A.I.D.: Godsent for older drives, everyone got em, no one wants em, and you can stripe 2 or 3 for double the money(considering you bought shit hard drives, that's like $3.50) 3. Combine: That's right, you just made a glass cannon build of using old hard drives in a non-recoverable array, enjoy 75% of the performance of an SSD(bottlenecked by sata 2) for a fraction of the costs and 300% the noise! Note: Linus should 100% make a video testing this BEAST of a rig and see if its worth doing! I mean they have to make a video everyday so this shit would be better than fucking "anti-RGB" build.
  6. I know, that requires me to buy more stuff and I was looking for a solution that would let me speed up development on a very some proportion of my market.
  7. I recently adopted an Imac with a 7200 rpm harddrive, I dont really want to open it up since I plan on using it as my test bench for MacOs programs but I hear they can get kind of slow. I have a few ideas and I want to hear your response. 1.short stroking hdd 2.external hard drive over usb 2.0/ Firewiree 800 3. mini raid array with laptop hdds What do you guys think? will any of them be faster than a 7200rpm harddrives.
  8. I do, but only if I dont have a use for them, bought an imac classic and flipped it for 5X me monz
  9. its called trash picking, I like to buying old/broken machines and fixin dem
  10. No I understand, just why do you not like used?
  11. I'm trying to fill out my Apple portfolio, Very Slowly, I currently just have a Iphone SE and Timecapsule (prepares to be burned at the stake) Cost?
  12. Maybe I would have procrastinated anyhow, but after building my PC I feel like i've dumped so much time into gaming, parts shopping, and more that I feel like I've wasted a lot of time. What do you guys think, do you ever feel like you're over invested ( time, money,etc) in your PC?
