    Can you make a video about server PSU. Why and how they are smaller than desktop PSUs. What are the different connectors and how are they different. Also about new standards coming to PSU(like 12V connectors or any new ones about to come).

    Spark mail is... well, now that they finally have an Android app, it's amazing. Still can't use it to replace Outlook until there's a Windows version of the app though.

    Spark for Android, an incredibly popular iOS email app, literally came out today. It bundles emails very similarly to Inbox, and is comparable to Gmail in terms of features. Readdle also announced that they will be releasing a web and Windows client.

    You can kindof use some apps.I have tried firefox,vlc,etc.Basically after reinstalling,run setup for firefox or vlc and when setup runs and asks you for the location to install,give the old one location.For steam,let it install on ssd and give game location to hdd.

    Or just skip straight to step 23...
     
    I consider myself to be a somewhat experienced linux user, but I too gave up on setting up my own mail server since it was such a hassle (and I never actually got it to work properly). The biggest problem was actually getting other mail services to accept my e-mails and not drop them (they wouldn't even be marked as spam, just straight up rejected).
     
    Seriously, get a hosted option...

    I just reread your comment. No, you won't be. To recieve mail on your server you really need a good static IP. There are workarounds with paid mailgateways or you could try setting up a dynDNS but this will result in a ton of dropped mail since the IP you get will be blacklisted on many antispam systems.
    I can only urge you to go with Office365 and you won't have to deal with any of that.
    If you insist otherwise:
    Get a domain Get a static public IP on your internet connection Get 2 racks and 2 UPS and 2 Switches to connect the two Get cableing run between them Set up a 3 servers (Let's say Windows Server 2019) preferably get two physical servers and create the AD and Exchange VMs on one, backup on the other. Keep the second one in a different location. This means you need at least 32 Licenses. Also buy Server CALs and Exchange CALs for all your users or computers Set up Active Directory on the first Install Exchange 2019 on the second Configure Exchange 2019, remember to install the prerequisites and join it to your Active Directory domain Port forward port 25/tcp and 443/tcp to your Exchange Set mx records on your domain pointing to an a record set up an a record on your domain pointing to your domain Call your ISP and set up a PTR corresponding to your MX Set up an SPF record for your domain Set up DMARC Set up DKIM Buy and install a SSL certificate for your Exchange Server Set up autodiscover or Outlook 2013 and upwards or any up to date mobile devices won't work properly Optional: Join your PCs to your Active Directory Domain Install and setup a Backup Solution on the third server, also joined to your AD Domain. Abandon this and get Office365.

    Just for that I would highly recommend to not even try since this process is rather complex even for an experienced/certified Linux user. Actually it's part of the Level 2 certification if I recall correctly. And even if you end up successfully setting up your email server, making other mail services consider it as "not spam" is another big task to do. You'd be better off using a dedicated email service since they are already trusted worldwide.

    Hi,
     
     
    Even if you mentionned that you're aware of it, I'd strongly suggest to go with all in one rental solutions as long as if you're a beginner, you're more likely to be missing some points and introduce security flaws in your network. Plus it will way cheaper and you still can build a local network storage server.
     
    However, if you still decide to go with it. You'll need a server, preferably linux / debian but others work also very well (MS Server, even Mac OS Server, depending on your computers pool).
     
    There are tons of ways to build a servers and it will mainly depend on your usecase (how many simultaneous connexions, what bandwidth...).
     
    Regarding the internet access, it's not necessairly to go with a business access as long as you're able to get a static public IP address and to setup network redirections.
     
    The only thing that you'll have to rent is a domain name.
     
     
    I hope this helps !

    akialwayz got a reaction from Carlos R in Bought new laptop today: Black Screen is all I see. Please advise.   
    seems to me like a display driver issue or windows update issue.you could
    a)if you can open task manager and view it.Go to file-> run new task->type explorer.exe and hit enter and see if it works(if it does do all updates,some times updates clashes with each other).
    b)boot into safe mode(google it) and uninstall display drivers and restart.
    c)I kind of had similar problem when i reinstalling windows,so here is my advise.First reinstall windows and go through all installation things till you see the desktop,now dont download any programs or anything.let windows download all updates and restart it when it asks.Again after restart let windows download update(trust me there will be some left) and restart again till no updates are left.Now create a restore point(google it),and install graphic drivers(nvidia or amd) and after installation restart and do whatever you want(dwnld rest of the programs you want).

    seagate or hdd..it doesnt matter,i have both and they both work well...if you have budget for high rpm drive (7200rpm will be ideal) buy it or else go for any 5400 ones.

    Considering that you can't run a B350 mobo and 2400g right out of the box without a BIOS update from a first gen ryzen chip, you should be getting a B450 board.
     
    Also, you can still get by with 8gb of RAM, I'm doing it by just playing one game and having discord open.

    I'm pretty sure I want to stick with Android. I have to admit, I love all of the extra things you get with having an iPhone (app store, airdrop, imessage) but all of my friends and family use Android apart from maybe 1 or 2 people so it's not like I need it. 
    I'm waiting until the OnePlus 6T McLaren releases on 11th December. If the price is right I'm buying it, but if not then I'll consider a OnePlus 6 or a Pixel 2 XL.

    If you want fast phone which isnt crazy expensive,go with oneplus 6 or 6T,
    If you want a different experience where everything is easy and well connected go for iphone(but there will be a learning curve).
    IOS is good but you will loose some freedom of android(but if you are normal user,it wont matter much).

    I'd start by checking all connections and maybe reseating the RAM/GPU
    If that fails you could reseat to CPU as well, just don't forget to apply fresh thermal paste!
     
    If that fails can you by any chance try another HDD/SSD to boot from, perhaps even another power supply.

    That might be true if you buy from a seller with very few ratings, but any of them with 10000+ ratings are usually legit as they'd normally be kicked off the site before ever reaching that amount of sales if they were doing that sort of thing. (Not to mention, you're usually "insured" if anything ever goes wrong with the key... assuming you took their "protection program")
    In many countries, thing like softwares and games just cost less(from the low economy/buying power of an individual, to high piracy rate), they are simply reselling those.
     
    As for Windows 10 licenses, if you license a very large volume of keys for OEM use, it can be especially cheap, down as far as $10 per keys, maybe even lower depending on where you buy them in the world, so it's not that unrealistic for the keys to be sold that cheaply on grey market sites.
     
    Far from me from wanting to defend grey market sites, they don't need me for that, but I just can't help but wanting to dispel the misconception that just because a few does it, somehow it means all("a lot") of them do it. 
    After all, people who were "wronged" will always be shouting louder than the ones who had a perfectly normal buying experience, hence why you might be thinking it's a rampant problem.

    The reason it's not showing for you is most likely because Windows has detected that you have some drivers that will break with 1809, so I wouldn't recommend installing it manually. Wait for Microsoft to release a new update.
