    MicrowavedGerbil got a reaction from Technomancer__ in business cloud software   
    I would go with Nextcloud Enterprise. I don't know about free Owncloud because a lot of free software has rules against deploying it in a business environment.

    MicrowavedGerbil reacted to 1Reshiram12 in Benchmarks understating performance?   
    Yeeaahh, no. I get 60fps on DiRT Rally but that's at 1080p with my 1070 Strix. No way you're getting 60 fps at 4k with a 1060. Maybe your 4k monitor is scaled down to 1080p, or in game you have your settings at 1080p?

    The arrangement of the front panel headers is based on your motherboard and can be located in your manual. You can find a digital copy of your manual here.

    MicrowavedGerbil got a reaction from Lurick in what the best hard drive for plex home server   
    WD Reds are the best for NAS storage, as they are meant to be fast with reads and writes and are able to withstand many reads and writes.
    FreeNAS is a good open source NAS OS that is actually pretty simple to get started with. UnRAID is good as well but has a bit more of a learning curve and is a bit heavier on resources.

    Honestly most AV software is crap. I use a combination of regular Malwarebytes runs, Windows Defender, updating when I'm told to, and just common sense, and so far I haven't gotten a virus.

    I don't need to roast Macs, their cooling does that for them.

    I just want to point out that Microsoft even sent out a patch to windows XP and server 2003, just to make sure even fewer people get it, so no, Microsoft is not stupid enough to make this.

    Ask your grandparents to do simple jobs and have them pay you a cent the first day, and then double the profit from there. You should at the end of 30 day end up with around 36 million ?

    That is not how this worm works, you don't have to click on something or download something, it will test random IP addresses and try to infect any machine in those IPs, just being connected to internet makes you a target. 
     
    Many years ago we had a similar worm call Sasser that did the same thing,  all you had to do was be connected to internet to get infected.

    MicrowavedGerbil reacted to Sack in What is this trending ransomware? is it good?   
    Actually, you don't need to click anything, this worm will find its own way in if you're not patched, so the only way to protect yourself is to patch.

    For that you can't see the folder. Type Windows key + R (for Run) and type %appdata% and you will see the files.

    That's not where program files are. They are in the in two folders on the Windows drive, not in the users area.

    Depends on the chip and cooler you have. If you have a fairly low TDP chip and a big heatsink it should be able to run passive. Running the chip at lower temperatures leads to longer life, but it's really up to you.

    MicrowavedGerbil reacted to Naeaes in Chromebook to windows laptop?   
    As you look into this, you should know the ChromeOS supports ARM processors (which Windows doesn't). So there's lots of info about this not being possible, and it's true for ARM laptops but not for all. This particular laptop has an Intel x86-64 CPU, which is fine for Windows, in general.
     
    Because it's still a Celeron, which as laptop CPUs go, is about as puny as it gets and by the looks of it, only 2GB of RAM which also barely cuts it. Windows on this laptop would wind up being quite sluggish. I personally absolutely very much never would go for it but we do all come with our personal standards. Also, with only 16GB of storage space, there's not much they could store in there in addition to the Windows (takes 11GB IIRC)
     
    But at the end of the day, it's technically doable. Download Win 10 on a USB stick, boot the laptop from said USB stick, install Windows (with Internet connected so it gets the drivers for it, hopefully), hope for the best as you go along, check that you got all the drivers and find online the ones you didn't. If you skip the lisence key query, you automatically get a free trial which you can later activate online. It costs about 120€. If it turns out it's too slow or some crucial drivers simply don't exist , you can always re-install ChromeOS.
     
    But I gotta reiterate, this'd be a bad bad user experience.

    use linux, windows is not worth it on such low-end hardware.
