No different accounts work that I have access to. I only have the one low level admin profile, none of the teacher devices or even our on-site tech can easily bypass it with their profiles, or admin privileges. And I'm not sure how they are blocking the websites in particular, so no, I haven't found a way to break the code.

Hello! I'm trying to have some fun bypassing some website blocking caused by the network admins at my school. Nothing malicious or anything, but I just want to figure out how to crack it on a school device. The first image is an example of what it looks like trying to access any "restricted" site. No access. I did some of the normal middle school stuff first. Change https to http? nope. Open incognito? Nvm, incognito is disabled. Other browsers? Nope, basically the same issue across firefox, opera, IE, chrome, and chromium. Google translate trick? nada. So I started having some fun. I have access to some low level admin info, so I was able to download VirtualBox, and installed linux mint. Set it all up, annnnnd, nope. All the restricted sites get this error NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID Well shoot. Tried normal grade school stuff again, still nothing. Tried to disable HSTS via the chromium HSTS manager, deleted HSTS settings for facebook, restarted chromium, still nothing. Any ideas of how to bypass? I do not want to damage the network in any way (obviously), I just wanted to poke around and see if there are any holes. Not sure how they are restricting these sites, so I'd love to learn what method they're using. I am new to linux mint and networking still, so sorry if I'm being really stupid! Thanks! -Potato

I have the arctis 7 2018 headset, and love it. The only bad part is, they use a micro USB connector and pesky wire to charge it. I personally hate wires, both my mouse and headset are wireless because of it. And I hate micro USB even more. So, I came up with an idea, kind of outlandish and probably out of my skill set, but should be fun nonetheless. So, I plan on building a sort of dock for it. Build a holder that will secure the two earcups and have a channel routed in the middle for wires. Run some sort of cable (micro USB or maybe usb c, if it permits) to the charging port on the left ear cup. But instead of plugging the micro USB in directly, since the headset would be placed in the dock, I would like to have gold contacts, like how the macbooks charge. My first idea is to find a micro USB to male contacts, and micro USB to female contacts adapters, but I haven't found any. Also, it may be an issue, because it may stick out of the headset, which I don't like the idea of. So, that may need to be custom built/soldered, but I like the idea of a simple adapter better, if it exists. To clarify, unless I can actually have a really good plan in place, I'm not going to actually be doing custom work for the charging port. It'd be a fun idea and all, but I have very little experience, and would hate to ruin a $120 headset. Thanks!

Well damn, guess I'm routing a CAT5 cable

Is this anything to do with anything?

I'd prefer not to run a CAT5 cable from upstairs, thus the repeater idea. If it won't work, I will, but I'd prefer a wireless method

I see, seems more of an IT scenario than SOHO scenario

What would be the difference between the two? I saw that as well

I am new to Netowrking, so my apologies if I'm slow at anything. I am trying to set up an old router (technicolor C1100T) as a wifi repeater, as the wifi downstairs is atrocious. Have no idea where to start really, as the menu's are confusing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Potato

Hey thanks. I enjoy it, but you do have pitfalls. The vrms on the mobo are not very good, and overheat extremely quickly, so you can't overclock that hard. Not a fan of the mini 1060 6gb, but a year and a half ago, it was the only 1060 6gb for $300. When the next iteration of AMD processors come out, I might upgrade my cpu, and again, definately looking at a 1070 Ti. A lot of card makers make 2 slot 1070 Ti's now, which is fantastic for me, because this case has up to 330mm of gpu clearance, if I remember correctly. Anywho, still fun to build. It's a drug for me.

Wow, a nice little beast to play on for a living room console destroyer. Looks fantastic, and congratulations on building a pc again. That evga card really does look (and probably sounds) much better than the blower card. Looks fantastic man.

This is the third iteration of this build, brought it through a define r5 (with an atx mobo), which was way too big and bulky for me, a core v1, which was way too hot, and now this, a beautiful balance between size/weight and cooling. Ryzen 5 1600 Gigabyte 1060 6gb mini 16gb DDR4-3000 AB350N-Gaming Wireless Enthoo Evolv ITX chassis 1TB sandisk ssd pro 2TB seagate barracuda Straight power 10 550w Corsair commander pro fan controller 1x 200mm intake fan 1x 120mm aio (old h60 and NF-F12) 1x 140mm exhaust fan In the future I plan on shoving a colossal 1070 Ti into it, and depending on the 1070 Ti, it will actually fit the case and run on the 550w psu. Build took me about 8 hours from deconstructing the old one and putting it all in the Enthoo Evolv. Very happy with this case so far, just very time consuming to build in. Worried that my gpu won't get enough air, being a mini and sitting right on top of the psu. Yes the psu is bottom intake, but it still worried me a little. Overall, tons of fun, and definately worth the upgrade.

Okay, so will my 4 pin fan just be maxed then? It's fine if it's is, just curious if you knew.

I have a mini itx motherboard with 2 fan headers, one cpu fan and one case fan. The case fan header is a 4 pin header, but I wish to split it out to a 4 pin 4 fan hub. My motherboard allows 3 pin voltage control for speed as well, but I was wondering if it's possible to have 2 3 pin fans and a 4 pin fan on the same hub. If so, would I have to have 3 pin control or 4 pin control selected in my bios? And what are the benefits of either? I know when I was messing around, if I did 3 pin control on a 4 pin fan, it would just max the fan speed, but that was without it being on a hub. Any ideas, or should I just buy the hub and try it? Thanks! -Potato

Sorry to everyone for taking so long to message back, but no, a separate boot drive wouldn't be too feasible, I have an itx system, and not sure I could do that, but I potentially could with an m.2 ssd. And yes, it's technically oem Windows last time I checked, I bought the key off of kinguin. But I think I'm abandoning this idea anyway, and switching instead to a bigger mini itx case of better quality so I can just transfer everything over and just not worry about it. Thanks for all the responses!
