    jet224presents reacted to leadeater in Net neutrality effect on datacenters?   
    Personally, not that it really effects me much at all, I was never concerned about any of the pay wall claims or egregious throttling. My issue is that the big ISPs in the US are cable TV providers and they are very reluctant to actually improve internet connection rates and transition to better technologies like GPON because of their vested interest in cable TV and the control that gives them over how and when content is consumed.
     
    Even when those providers create on-demand internet services they really aren't that good and I see them more as an excuse to say they are not anti internet content services. An ISP that is unwilling to actually improve residential internet access is the real problem, that problem exists because improving internet services will actually hurt their business and profits.
     
    It's true what the masses are harping on about is a bit ridiculous however the real underlying issue is still there. Tittle II didn't fix it and couldn't, at least it would prevent ISPs from degrading service qualities of competing services though.
     
    There is a reason why basically every person that works in the IT industry, I'm talking about the general independent person not companies, say it was better to keep Title II however they all also say it's not the solution to the problem either.

    One of the posters in this blog makes reference to the New York Times.  But I wouldn't trust the NYT as far as I could throw them.  The people that control the NYT are in bed with the CCF.  (Clinton Crime Family)

    You can eliminate many of those fees by buying your own modem and not getting cable television.

    everyone has it all WRONG there will likely be no negative outcomes form the removal of net neutrality even the new york times agrees that, "it simply is not in service providers’ interests to throttle access to what consumers want to see"(Engelhart). i don't believe we will have any negative impacts but if we do lawsuits will be filed and isp's will lose. Remember before net neutrality how there were no problems? NOBODY can REASONABLY confirm or deny the claims on the effects of the repulsion of net neutrality. I can reasonably confirm that THERE will most likely (i could be wrong) not be any payment needed to use any sites, for the Internet in the US is FREE and big companies like google and what not will sue these ISPs for profiting off of the services that google and other companies own the rights too. plus, consider the fact that if people had to pay money for google searches or just extra in general the traffic to the websites would decrease greatly. in economics it is easier and most effective to keep prices low and have a large customer base than to raise prices and set extreme restriction as within capitalism these companies will fail because NOBODY will use them. Realistically all net neutrality does in the first place is force ISP's to not prioritize traffic. Actually, currently most ISPs do throttle P2P communications in order to prioritize largely used domains (which is allowed in net neutrality laws). this means the there is in fact a bottleneck for large sites if rarely accessed sites are forced to have speed the same as google, these connections hog and effectively slow down ISP's servers than more often trafficked websites. in past (before net neutrality) issues with ISPs and any providers, the problems have not been negative to small business  but in fact specifically targeted to large business and the public out lash has forced these service providers to stop throttling it's our job to tell the provider what we want for our money not the government.

    jet224presents reacted to SwingLifeAway92 in GTX 1080ti problem   
    It could be something to do with a bad bios perhaps the guy flashed a diff bios on it. I know when I had my gtx 1080 I flashed it to unlock the voltage limits and that disabled the hdmi port. I'd try taking a look and seeing if the bios says asus or another company. If not just get an adapter or use another port

    Fair point, although AM4 provides a more solid upgrade path. If he wanted to, he could drop to 8Gb memory and get a 1060 for just about the same price: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vzbLvV

    NET NEUTRALITY is not going to have any affect on your important files as far as we know don't waste your money. other than being a good idea to backup your important files anyway just get a 2tb external hdd (got a toshiba for $50) so you don't have to have the files all the time unless that matters to you.

    jet224presents reacted to Theguywhobea in Does it matter what type of replacement charger you buy?   
    Amp does matter, your original charger is 40w so you need another charger that is at least 40w. You need the voltage to stay at 19v, so you'll need to find one with 2.1A or more. Also you want to make sure it has the same connector.

    jet224presents got a reaction from NameyMcNameFace in First PC build. Is it good?   
    realistically no, but if your a little be worried about fan speed/noise i would look into something bigger like a dual tower or just something bigger all together. i have over clocked mine to 4.7 from stock 4 with boost my temps under load have only gone up my 10 degrees Celsius with water cooling 240mm rad. like these https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103108

    unless you see it constantly running over 75 i wouldn't worry plus the 212 is so cheap anyway for the quality.

    jet224presents got a reaction from PineyCreek in Sling via Chromecast Ultra   
    i personally like roku according to some menu navigation including in apps is a little slow but i dont mind. i dont know much about chrome cast  but if it has apps like sling that you can download onto it i would stay where you are but right now i believe you can get a free roku stick ($40) if you pre pay 2 months (you'll have to read the fine print). im even buying another roku on top of the 4 we already have for my monitor in my room. depending on the type of tv you have you would want to check out the different rokus regular stick doesnt support 4k.. we use sling and i like it good price compared to cable but in reality we just installed a OTA Antenna for the St. Louis broadcasts and tend to watch local news and sports more often (we get 28 channels) dpending on your surcumstances it would probably be better to buy a roku stick if chrome cast has any other features than actually casting phone to tv.

    omg my god ram pricing has gone trought the ROOF! last year i got my 2x8gb 3200mhz cas 16 trident Z for the price of one of your 8gb 2400 sticks.
     
    and yeah, your build is good. Tho you should consider getting a rx480 or rx580 with 8gb, or at the very least a gtx1060 6gb. check for used rx480's if setting up your game is too expensive. Heck even a gtx780 would work.
     
    as people say, don't get the k chip nor a z motherboard, save on those and get a non-k i7 and a cheap board instead for somewhere around the same pricing.

    to be honest i have recently done my first build without a esd strap. i dont think you need one there is minimal risk unless your wearing 100% cotton and rubbing your socks against the carpet i think you'll be fine. i did it in light clothing on a concrete basement no static going to be created there but what i did do was touch the power supply ever so often to make sure i had no charge.
