    MyName13 reacted to RollyShed in Why does copy-pasting text also keep original font and background color?   
    Yes. I often drop the text into Text Editor to remove the font information it will have from a website and then paste to where ever needed, especially when dropping text into a discussion forum.

    Yes, it happens on all desktop OSs.
    The program provides information to the clipboard, the program that you paste the text too, chooses if it cares or not about it.
     
    Windows Clipboard supports out of the box:
    Text (obviously) Rich Text (that is Text with formatting) Image Audio File path list (several files selected and copied) Binary (Generic, can be used for anything) A program can also issue multiple information on the same clipboard item.
    You can also pass to the clipboard combination, like image + text... so a program like Word, can display both. And one like Notepad, will only display the text without any formatting.

    When you copy something it goes to a sort scratch pad space in the cache on your cpu (or ram). This will store it sort of like a file
    <text\>
    hello
    <text>
    <font\>
    green
    <font>
    <size\>
    12
    <size>

    From here Notepad only support the text portion of this file so it simply grabs the text portion and ignore everything else.
    In other apps like word it will read all the other portions and try and play nice with them.
    Another quick shortcut if you didnt know is ctrl+shift+v will paste the stuff in clipboard but only pasting text (or merging the text formats) , this shortcut works in most applications besides microsoft mail or microsoft word

    I would imagine the same way it does so for the text itself, it stores the font and formatting properties of the copied text in your clipboard and just retrieves it and applies it once you paste somewhere, provided that the target application supports that type of formatting in the first place. Remember, what you see on your screen is all just stuff being presented to you in a specific way based on how it's programmed to be seen. And if displaying text in Windows is programmed in a structured way of describing its formatting with a predictable pattern, you can just retrieve that information while you're copying the text. And if the source and target application use the same way of describing how the text should be rendered, you can obviously just pass along all that metadata with the text.
     
    And just because an older operating system didn't work that way doesn't preclude a newer one from introducing it. Microsoft added that functionality later on. You can override it by using ctrl+shift+v to just paste plain text without the formatting.

    This is an important detail.Applying the pressure evenly like on motherboards with 2 latches doesn't work here.I have managed to install it, thank you for mentioning this.

    that's also normal on all of the motherboards i have used in the last 5 years. you would insert it into the side without the latch first, and then the other side will latch when you push the ram stick all the way in.

    Yes it's normal, they designed like this on purpose, so it reduces the stress on the PCB when installing.

    MyName13 reacted to bmx6454 in Is it normal that my RAM's pins are uneven?   
    yes, that is normal(at least in my experience). double check that you are installing it the correct direction, from the correct side first, and that the clips are unlatched.

    And number 4 says: "Limited complimentary support may be available (varies by product)." while 'Security updates at no additional cost" is right under that bulletpoint.

    I don't click on shortened links or text hyperlinks.
     
    Normally extended support means no more feature updates and only security updates. With some forms of even longer extended support being payed for updates.

    MyName13 reacted to AngryBeaver in Angry rant: I have been studying IT to get a useless degree   
    I would say you could start as an infosec analyst without any experience straight out of school... I know because I am constantly training in people JUST like that. Sure they may be titled as a junior or assoc analyst, but they still make good money and in 1-2 years normally are bumped up in title and pay. So an Infosec Analyst is normally reviewing/triaging alerts generated by a SIEM. Heck, with automation and the amount of access you can get to most products via API now a lot of the data collection is done already. 
     
    You don't even need a cert most of the time, but the entry level ones are cheap and help give you a leg up on someone else straight from school without one. I look at education and certifications as investing in myself and improving/showing my worth/skill level. You can't really go wrong with any investment you make into your self.
     
    So in this field for example without at least a 2 year degree you would be extremely hard pressed to get started with just a cert. Now if you managed to get some experience the degree might be less relevant, but in general they want 3-5 years of experience, a degree, or a combination of both to = 3-5 years. The truth is though there are a LOT more jobs in this field that people to fill them and the problem isn't getting better. So we often find people have a solid foundation of knowledge and then train them into the field. That foundation of knowledge is mostly around proficiency and understanding of OSes, Knowledge with networking, and overall just having a general understanding of how a machine operates. If you can understand the basics then in most cases you can be trained over time to be a pretty good analyst (if you are motivated). 
     
    People are quick to say Education is a scam or not worth it, but I doubt many of them have tried to climb to the higher tiers of those roles. For example I am currently pursuing a PHD to continue improving myself, expand my knowledge, and increase my value to the company.  I mean sure without a degree I could get a few certs and work an entry level position, but I am not going to climb very high off that.

    Yup, you don't understand what IPC is. Also I HIGHLY doubt a proper quad core from Zen class was worse than shitty dual core Pentium... Maybe in games, purely because of clocks. Nothing else. No way.
