    Does size even matter? It's how you use it that matters.

    Millsy reacted to KarathKasun in Why do people still buy MS Office?   
    If you are asking this honestly, you do not use ANY advanced office features in a professional environment.

    Excel for example can read the contents of any other spreadsheet file on any drive you have permissions for.  Same for word.  This makes interconnected workbooks an absolute breeze to work with compared to Sheets.
     
    Marcos and scripting are done in native VBS and VB code, the same language used to build pretty much all basic Windows GUI apps.
     
    Until you actually try to use Office applications for more than "I need to write that English paper", you will not understand.

    I built my first PC this year in June. My noob story was using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 and proceeding to spend 40 minutes figuring out how to get the damn thing on.

    Yes, I am confused. 
    So you are paying an extra 50 bucks for the hassle of swapping the mini for the TI. 
    I have to agree with what frong said. If you were living in Europe then this would be illegal.
    Laws might work differently in your country but yeah still it sucks.

    I'd be asking for your money back.
     
    As for the sag, there's a few options about just search GPU anti sag bracket and see what's available in your area.

    Ahem, yes 'LOL' indeed, but it makes no difference. It is a basic human behaviour not wanting to watch others suffer, whether human or not. Lack of empathy is the trait of a sociopath.

    Millsy reacted to Zzydm_Ch in The hint about the Larabee   
    Hi Linus ! I’m one of your fan from China. I noticed that you didn’t use the correct motherboard in your project Larabee unboxing. The Larabee should be installed only on the board that is supported for the larrabee or Xeon phi. I recommend you to go find a c602 board or dual socket lga1366 workstation board. The card itself is a system with built in linux. You said that this card is knights corner. It’s the same architecture to the Xeon phi in the tianhe2.
     Tian he 2 used the e5 2600 v1/2 serie cpu. So copying the same configuration should be working. This method was posted by Alicechino in bilibili.com. @LinusTech

    also, is there a reason racing games aren't in the benchmarks on LTT?

    Millsy reacted to limegorilla in Fuchsia OS   
    It is a shame that we don't see much, if any innovation on the operating systems we use daily. Other than Windows 8, Windows has kept with its basic layout, one that has been used for over twenty years. Macintosh just refines the same layout each generation. iOS is much of the same - even iOS 7, the "biggest update ever" only really brought new textures. Android has only had one major update in recent years - Android Lollipop, an upgrade from the previous "holo" interface. Yes we get new features in these updates, but honestly none of these are that ground breaking either. Yes, I can now connect my Android phone to my Windows desktop. Yippie - but then I have to replace my much loved Google apps - no thanks. Now I can finally answer a text on my ChromeBook - only if I have Android 8.1, and a Google Pixel - neither of which I have.
     
    So when I heard about Fuchsia OS, a brand new OS from Google, coded from scratch - this time not based on Linux's kernel - made for both phones and laptops, I was surprised, and over the moon. Finally we are going to see a new OS that actually understands the latest devices and actually connects them on an operating system level, showing that we might have ACTUAL continuity, rather than whatever the hell Cortana is trying to pull lately. (I have an entire rant on that too  )
     
    By the looks of it, and from many rumours that have surfaced with its recent surface running on a PixelBook, it will run the same OS on both phone and laptop (that already run Chrome OS) and features a very Google interface, cards blurry app drawers, white EVERYWHERE - but it does look nice. Everyone seems to be heading in this direction now, the same user experience wherever you are, which I like. Hopefully we can see some real innovation from software designers soon - I would say a new design for windows, but last time Microsoft did that, well....
     
    To me the division is stale. All we get are a few new features and possibly some new looks, but probably just looks - look at Android (My favorite OS btw) - compare Oreo to Lollipop. Yes we have a new color scheme, and a new settings menu, but in four years? That's all they could come up with? Yes I know, there are MANY more improvements - but that is what they are, improvements. Nothing new, nothing amazing, just tweaks here and there, a new feature here, getting rid of Flappy Android there - you get my point. iOS is much of the same. 
     
    So, now you have put up with my rant - sorry about that - here is where I see Fuchsia OS going.
     
    2020 - 2021: RELEASE
    Seeing as the OS now, finally, has a User Interface - probably not the final one - I think it will only take a few years yet. I think we will start seeing development of FOS (as I am now calling it) a lot more. I/O 2020 will most likely be the release date.
     
    OCT 2020 - 2021: GOOGLE'S HARDWARE RELEASE:
    Google's latest devices will probably ship with it, and the year thereafter will probably see more premium devices shipping with it pre-installed, maybe as an option to an android phone? Samsung's latest will definitely be a big score for Google if they can manage to get Samsung to change to the new OS. I have heard that complete Android support will be included (which, thinking about it, is a given) so rollout should not be hard per-se. It depends if Google can configure it to run on devices that currently run android (I have no idea if this would work, android being powered by linux, this not) as an OTA update, though if this DOES manage to happen I assume that you would need a computer to update to FOS. Chromebooks I do not think will be an issue, probably just needing a USB installer, similar to the current recovery system. Seeing as it runs on the PixelBook, it could support probably devices back to 2016 but I doubt this will happen, more likely for devices sold this year, but I may be wrong as it will be their last year with official software support.
     
    TWO YEARS AFTER LAUNCH:
    The end of Android and Chrome OS will be upon us. The end of an era - and the end of my two current favorite operating systems. 
     
    But, I would love your thoughts on this - would you switch? Do you think the OS market is stale? Let me know
     
    Thanks for reading, Liam

    I have a ultrawide 3440x1440 and I think even the 1070 is good enough. I'd say the 1080 is good enough. You are an awesome brother tho, to spend $500-$750 on gift, my brother never done that for me lmao.
    Just a thought but you can even save money and give him one of your 1080 lol.
