    Evellence got a reaction from Tieox in Email has been exposed to data breach.   
    Yes, i enabled 2fa for most of the sites that support it. I'm already at process of making a new email and slowly migrating important accounts to that email. As for the spam, its true i am getting those "recorded you" emails like 2-5 a day. Alright, i will just burn it and just get another email
     
    Thank you for your answer. I really appreciate it.

    Looks like you've already followed the sensible steps. 
    Consider that email account burned. Even after changing your passwords once your email ends up on those lists it often ends up on spam mailing lists as well. Don't use it any more. Set up a new email account with all different passwords.
     
    It can be a good idea to create multiple email addresses. One for important things, sites you trust. Then have a separate email address (or multiple) for random sites that require you to sign up. That way if some random website you signed up to a few years ago and forgot you even had an account on gets breached it's less likely to compromise the email you use for online banking.
     
    I would also suggest ensuring you use different passwords on different sites, that way if your account is compromised on one service the other services remain relatively unaffected.
     
    2FA everything you can. Most popular sites support 2FA in one form or another. Did you know the Linus Tech tips forum also supports 2FA? You can enable it in the account settings.
     
    Also expect to receive a bunch of "we have hacked your system and we know your password is "whatever" and we have hacked your webcam and filmed you pleasuring yourself. If you don't send us Bitcoin we will release the video to your friends and family" type email scams. Just ignore them, don't reply. Seems to be a rather common tactic scammers have been using with recent beaches. (And don't worry, they didn't actually record you. It's just a lie to scam you.)

    Evellence reacted to factorialandha in Adding program to firewall   
    although there are benefits to having the extra level of security, if you have a router between you and your internet connection (as with 99.9% of internet service providers these days) and you arent in a public space, i would say turning the firewall off when in a "non public" connection is perfectly fine to do. I personally have my computer set up for Domain / Private internet connection spaces to have firewall turned off, but turned on for when i connect to Public spaces. 
     
    however if you are adding the application to be completely unrestricted you should be fine by adding the EXE (although make sure it doesnt spawn multiple processes with different executables) ive never really used Hamachi so i cant remember how it works.

    So yeah, i have made a mistake, but it seems it was not that bad. Got rid of the folder and it seems fine for now. 
    Oh and i just realised it was "federicas domani" not domain, i was panicking did not read that correctly

    It's because it's not an HDD. A hybrid drive combines solid state storage with a hard disc drive which means that you can get closer to SSD speeds with the storage capacity of an HDD for cheaper. As for the PSU, my expected output according to PCPP is 275w, so it should do just fine.

    Evellence reacted to DocSwag in Picking my first build   
    Not trying to say this in a mean way, but don't be a dick.
     
    If you give OP recommendations that are completely out of their budget and pretty much useless to them, how does this help anyone? It sure doesn't help OP, so by doing this you're not helping anyone and instead might be confusing OP even more.
     
    Again, not trying to be mean. Just stating this as a fact; if you're not gonna give a good recommendation then don't give one. I don't go on peripherals and audio and stuff to recommend stuff because I barely know anything when it comes to those subjects, so if I gave recommendations there all it would do is do harm.

    Evellence got a reaction from balewis2 in What should i look in for motherboards?   
    CM Masterbox 5, they should fit. So main reason is overclocking right? 
    Dude i'm arguing with my neighbor about ryzen and intel since its release
    To be honest i dont even know what to get now. 50% of people is telling me "NO intel is way better" and other half is like "screw that get ryzen". 
    Clock speed is better for gaming, and single core is more used. Vulkan does not work really well now and most of the games don't have that option, so that is why i decided to go with intel
     
    Also i dont have any components yet, i'm getting them in one go.
    And for PSU yeah, will get G2. Just wanted to see if i can get some worse components to fit headset and keyboard within the budget but that seems like bad idea. Since i'm a little short with money right now.

    Evellence got a reaction from Dat Guy in Whats wrong with my c++ code   
    Here is my story. I've studied mechanical engineering, failed it sadly, exams were not hard, but professors were, when one of them starts to hate you on 1 class, you will surely fail on other 6 that hes teaching. Wont blame them for everything, it was my fault too, i made so much mistakes.
     
    So i started college about programming, got accepted in second year but i still had to do exams for 1st year. In this short time that i had, i finished everything from first year and half of my second year. Programming in 1st year was about HTML, CSS and Jquery, which by now i know really well. But in second year is C++, which i really don't know and i'm trying to learn it. Math was my main problem, i finished it so i started focusing on programming again. 
     
    I'm not asking you guys to finish my homework, i'm asking you to help me to learn it. I don't want to finish this and just forget all about it, i want to learn it well and find a job about programming. And no, i'm not waiting last second. I have 2.5 more months time to finish this.
     
    So i'm really sorry for misunderstanding. And for this long post also, but what i'm trying to say is that i'm not that guy who says "hey please finish my homework" (which i kinda sounded like that). I want to learn it myself, and to make it my job later on in my life. And from my personal experience fixing code like this is best way to learn
     
     
    TL;DR: I don't expect you to finish my job, nor would anyone want that, i need to do it myself so i can learn it, but i need just a little help

    Evellence reacted to GoodBytes in Windows 10 blurry applications   
    So the way it works is quiet interesting.
     
    You see, back in the 90's the concept of high-DPI display was not even in people minds. All people had in mind is larger resolution -> bigger display.
    The possibility of 4K on a <30inch display, or even just 1080p on a small screen was just crazy talk. This is the area of when Win32 framework was created, and around that time when all popular GUI framework by Microsoft and others where made. Microsoft tried to push the concept of High-DPI in Windows XP, as the company saw that such display was coming, but to dev eyes, this was just ignored totally, didn't even cross the mind of most, especially that, well, they were no such display on the consumer market that can be easily acquired, beside the odd device here and there with a tiny market share so no one could justify the cost to even just test. In fact, towards the end of life of Windows 7, we started to see at a more common level high resolution small screen.
     
    As a result, most programs aren't high-DPI aware. So now, when you adjust the display scaling, most programs aren't supported. You need to restart your computer (well sign-out and back in, really) when you adjust the display scaling as Win32 engine need to refresh (and many program not even expecting this from happening would/could crash. So asking to do this by Windows, is an assured way that you save all your stuff, close nicely all software). So if you don't restart (well logout and log back-in) Windows just does a preview.
     
    That said, Microsoft did release over the year new GUI frameworks which does support high-DPI, and also dynamic switching of display scaling. That is how the majority of Windows looks right when you adjust the display scaling, even right away (no need to logout).
     
    Ok so, what Windows does with incompatible programs? It either:
    Inject code into the program GUI framework to make the window of the program larger, and make text larger. This only works on Microsoft own GUI framework though. If its made with something else, then sadly it can't guess how the GUI framework is made. And they are so many, and so many versions, that Microsoft is not interested in figuring it out, especially that they want devs to do the work and update their stuff, and not ignore the issue because "Microsoft will do it for us". The downside of this, is that on simple program it works, but on complex layout things might look out of place, and small icons are made big resulting looking pixelate as the program doesn't have a higher resolution of these images. But, at least the program is nice and sharp and readable.
      Take the program it can't do the above, and just scale it big like an image. This results in the program looking blurry.  
    So, the only fix, is time. We can see that (aside from Windows built-in programs): Chrome, Firefox (and IE and Edge) all support high Display Scaling. Same for the recent versions of Office, Visual Studio, FileZilla FTP client, Skype, PhotoShop, PowerArchiver, Paint.NET, and many many more have been updated to support high-Display Scaling. Sadly, Steam isn't. This is probably because they went with a custom GUI framework, and in order to support high-Display Scaling, they need massive amount of work, and I don't think the company is willing to do it, or are doing in the back and will take time. All we can do is push these companies to update their software to be high-DPI aware. If people complain, they'll see that, yes, indeed their users do have high-DPI displays, and need to update their stuff, if not, competition can take over what they have, because their program operate better with their system.

    EVGA Supernova 650W or higher would be a much better PSU.
    For SSD, Samsung 850 EVO is the best, but Crucial MX300 SSD's are good as well.
    EVGA makes better 1070 cards, and have amazing customer service, so I recommend them.
    For a case, I'd recommend NZXT S340 Elite or Phanteks P400S.
