    FloRolf got a reaction from soldier_ph in Experiences with non-techies   
    Today a highly paid team leader was confused as to why he was not able to edit the spreadsheet. He couldn't even click on the damn thing! 
    Turns out he was clicking on the screen someone else was sharing over Teams... 
     
    Kill me pls.

    I don't have any personal experience with it but ubiquity is probably one of the best at still decent prices. 
    They also don't store video 'in the camera' but on a server in your home. It's pretty much the best thing you can do because sending security details elsewhere is always... Unsecure. 
     
    They have a nice interface to watch the different streams, change camera settings etc. Ofc it's not cheap at like $200-300 for their 4k cameras and the storage server + switch isn't cheap either BUT it's pretty cool.

    I think a 3090 for $700 is considered theft in many countries 😛

    FloRolf got a reaction from Origami Cactus in Picking HDD for NAS. IronWolf vs WD   
    I have both, Ironwolves and Reds and have had no issues with either of them. You can't really go wrong. 
     
     
    EDIT: And if you are on 1gbit Ethernet then you will very likely see no difference at all in speed.

    FloRolf got a reaction from Levent in 3090 underperformance becoming concerning.   
    We need a lot more information than that. 
    For example: what are the actual performance numbers? What are the clock speeds and utilization of GPU and vram, CPU and ram during the benchmark? How are the Temps? 
     
    You say it's like a 1660 but can handle 4k. what does that mean? If you see similar fps on a 1660 in 1080p than on 3090 in 4k then the 3090 is significantly faster.

    FloRolf reacted to Master Disaster in 18 eyes are better than one. JWST sends back first infocus picture and its breathtaking   
    After a month of calibration and alignment (down to the micron) JWST has just wowed everyone by beaming back its first infocus image and in the process has exceeded our best case estimates of its capabilities.

     
    I'll add this just because its pretty crazy
    Source - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-60771210
    For a better explanation from someone who really understands...
     
    My thoughts
     
    That is one hella sexy image. The detail is something else and you can still clearly see other stars really close to the focal point. Incredible.

    FloRolf reacted to tikker in 18 eyes are better than one. JWST sends back first infocus picture and its breathtaking   
    Well yeah that's how physics works, bigger mirror = higher resolution. You can say this "whoopdeedoo" about every piece of tech that comes out from OLED HDR performance to next gen GPUs being better. What makes this different?
     
    The resolution in and of itself isn't that special. Hubble can already reach about half JWST's resolution (as in about twice worse) and we have ground-based facilities that far exceed its resolution capabilities at optical and other wavelengths. It's the fact that it is in this mid-infrared wavelength regime that makes it scientifically new and valuable.That, and we're just celebrating remote deployment of an intricate instrument floating 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth going as smoothly as it can.

    FloRolf reacted to whispous in Incognito Tabs Closed!!!   
    You shouldn't have used incognito mode if you wanted your computer to remember things in them. That's the point.
    You can't get them back.
     
    If you could, the feature would be useless.

    FloRolf got a reaction from jaslion in Can you use youre graphics card from an hp desktop on another motherboard with a new psu?   
    Wait, you want to buy all this
    new because the PC is loud?
    All you need is a new CPU Cooler and some new fans. If the Case is too small maybe a new case but not new ram motherboard and PSU. Maybe you can even just change some Bios settings so the fans don't spin as fast. 
     
    But to answer your question: yes. If you buy the right motherboard (has to be 5600G compatible) it will also fit the 1650.

    I like it when these groups find flaws in companies (and their devices) security so they can be patched. However leaking lots and lots of actual user data and making the user vulnerable kinda sucks.

    FloRolf reacted to KarateHottie93 in My 2600K just died 😭   
    This is unfortunate. I had just started running this thing again after getting my 980 AMP Extreme back that I had let my friend borrow for a couple of years.
     
    It's done great for weeks. Everything was perfect. It wasn't OC'd or anything. I knew something was up a few days ago. I was playing WoW and it kept freezing up on settings it should handle fine. The 16GBs of RAM were barely being used. Tonight I got in from work and the wifi adapter kept cutting out. Then it was freezing up when I tried to open the network settings...just real weird random stuff I've always experienced with dying CPUs. I restarted the thing and it was working fine. I went to finish downloading a WoW update and there it went. I tried to start it back up and my Z68 FTW was giving the dreaded "C" code. I prayed it was the cheap Cougar PSU so I hooked up the HX750I from my 8350 / Fury Nitro build. Kept doing it. I took the water block off and checked to see if my pins somehow decided to bend themselves. They're all great lol. Everything else works. Fans spin like crazy. Everything is powered on. RAM is seated well. I have absolutely no reason to believe it's the board...especially with the previous warning signs. Honestly I'm glad it wasn't the board...things a future wall hanger.
     
    Just sad lol. I loved this 2600K. It was the first CPU ever where I was blown away by the performance when it came out.
