I'm going to give my old Windows 10 computer to someone, which I built myself. I want to delete all of the data from the storage and have it give the "new computer experience", where windows goes through the initial process. I do not want the OS to be deleted. I've only ever reset computers to factory defaults back when I was using prebuilt computers, so I'm not entirely sure what the best approach is here. Any help?

I have not settled on a case yet. Most of the options between $100-$150 at my local store seem to have top vents. The problem is I don't think I'll have any extra cash for exhaust fans.

I'm making a build with a Ryzen 5600X and RTX 3060. With this build, is it recommended to get a tower that has a top vent? How detrimental would it be for the cooling if there is no top vent? If the tower has a top vent, is it mandatory to install a fan for it or can I just leave it without a fan? If it can be left without a fan, is it safe to cover the vent with tape or something? PS: My room is very dusty. What should I do? I'm thinking the top vent should be covered due to the dust alone.

i just look at the stats in the task manager. how do i change it so that the speed is not dictated by the max performance of the previous drive? to be more accurate, steam was updating a game. i believe the 3.3mb/s was reflecting how fast it was writing the update to the SSD. my ethernet stats in task manager was showing over 25mb/s during that time.

i cloned my HDD to a new NVME and it is definitely faster. i haven't experienced any lag from the disk which is a huge improvement. https://shop.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-blue-sn550-nvme-ssd#WDS250G2B0C the problem is i barely see the read/write speed exceed 100 mb/s. it just doesn't feel like it's as fast as it's supposed to be. also, when steam was downloading something a while ago the download speed didn't exceed 3.3 mb/s of write speed, which is exactly the download speeds i had when using my HDD. my HDD is disconnected from the motherboard. strangely enough, my ethernet reported download speeds of over 25 mb/s. is this normal or is my NVME slow for some reason?

i want to transfer all of the data from my HDD to an SSD. i originally wanted to wait until i have enough money for a new build to start using an NVME or SSD, but i just can't take it anymore. my computer has been almost completely locked out for the past 20 minutes because the hard drive is at 100% usage for whatever damn reason. it took me like 5 minutes to get here so i didn't watch any youtube tutorials for this yet. i need to get an SSD in my computer right now. this happens all of the time. whenever there is a download or whatever going on in the background, my computer gets locked out because of how dumb and slow this stupid HDD is. i heard about those mach 2 hard drives, like 4 f-ing years ago and i still haven't heard anything new about them. no more waiting. i need this upgrade. i haven't done this before so i could use some advice. if anything bad happens to my computer i'm pretty much screwed. my computer is not very powerful but it's not slow either. the HDD is pretty much the bottleneck. for general usage and mid tier gaming the other parts should be completely adequate: ryzen 1200, GTX1050, 16GB ram, etc. am i able to safely transfer all of the data from my HDD to an SSD? if so, will it affect the OS license (it was super expensive)? what are things that i should know before doing this?

when i first bought this wifi adapter it was working great. over the past week i notice that it is starting to suck. i'm not 100% sure if the wifi adapter is the issue or if it's an issue with the distance and power of the modem, or a combination of both. we got a new modem recently. it's in the basement and i'm on the top floor. when i first connected to the wifi from the new modem i didn't notice any problems at all. it's been over 3 weeks since then and for the past week i've been having problems with getting a consistent wifi connection from the modem. i decided to use usb tethering to connect the wifi from my phone to my pc. my data is turned off so i'm hoping that it's not secretly using my data instead. anyway, is my wifi adapter dying or something? should i use usb tethering on my phone from now on or should i buy a new wifi adapter for my pc?

does anyone know about any books (preferably on kindle) that can help me get started learning how to use unity, and how to script in unity using C#? preferably books that are friendly to people who are new to programming and game development. i pretty much have a decent understanding of most C# basics.

i'm confused about the getset property auto implementation. i understand how the property itself works. class One { private int number = 50; public int Number { get { return number; } set { if (value >= 0) number = value; else number = 0; } } } class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var one1 = new One(); one1.Number = -90; Console.WriteLine(one1.Number); Console.ReadLine(); } } the getter allows other classes to read the value of the field. the setter allows other classes to set the value of the backing field. if the getter is private then other classes can't read the field. if the setter is private then other classes can't set the value of the backing field. this is where the concept of auto implemented getset property gets confusing. the book says that when you use the shorthand to create an auto implemented property, it creates an anonymous private backing field. so how are you supposed to know what the backing field is? i thought that the whole point of using the property was to give limited access to the field from other classes in order to protect the field. are there situations when i won't need to know what the backing field is? also, if using the shorthand allows full access to reading and changing the value of the backing field (aside from making the getter or setter private), is there any point to using it?

can someone please explain polymorphism simply, and the difference between static polymorphism and dynamic polymorphism? i feel like i have a mild understanding of the concept, but it is still fairly confusing at this point. from what i understand, polymorphism itself refers to when a program uses the correct method for an object even though there are other methods with the same method signature in other derived classes or the base class. is this correct and is there more to it? also why can objects be created from two different classes? for example if you have a base class named human and a derived class named male you can do: human object = new male(); i was under the impression that when creating an object it could only be using the same class name both times like: human object = new human(); i'm pretty sure that this has something to do with polymorphism, but the book i'm reading is not explaining this and i can't find an explanation in some videos either.

in the book i'm reading it states that there are two ways to create a constructor for the child class. it vaguely implies that the first way is for creating the child constructor is to create a parameter-less constructor and the second way is for creating a non parameter-less constructor, but it's not exactly clear on whether that is absolute. so my questions are about whether these two ways that i will demonstrate are the only ways to create child class constructors and if the parent constructor is always called. the code below is from the exercises that i am following in the book. the book isn't the problem. it's a good book. i just need more information. class Member { protected int annualFee; private string name; private int memberID; private int memberSince; public override string ToString() { return "\nName: " + name + "\nMember ID: " + memberID + "\nMember Since: " + memberSince + "\nTotal Annual Fee: " + annualFee; } public Member() { Console.WriteLine("Parent Constructor with no parameter"); } public Member(string pName, int pMemberID, int pMemberSince) { Console.WriteLine("Parent Constructor with 3 parameters"); name = pName; memberID = pMemberID; memberSince = pMemberSince; } } class NormalMember : Member { public NormalMember() { Console.WriteLine("Child constructor with no parameter"); } public NormalMember(string remarks) : base("jamie", 1, 2015) { Console.WriteLine("Remarks = {0}", remarks); } } so in the code above we have the parent class Member and the child class NormalMember. from what i'm gathering from the book, the two ways to create a child constructor are the two ways displayed in the child class above. the first way is to make a normal constructor without any parameters, and the second way is to use the colon and base keyword. so as for my questions, am i right to assume that the only time the parent class constructor will be called when you create an object for the child class constructor is when you make a parameter-less constructor in the child class, or a non parameter-less constructor in the child class using the colon and base keyword? also, am i allowed to make a non parameter-less constructor in the child class without using the colon and base keyword? like a constructor that won't call parent class constructors when an object is made for it?

i'm a bit confused by the concept of royal families. are they just like normal families but better? are they a certain part of a family that is merged with their nation's government? does each royal family serve different purposes and have different structures? i'm asking because i'm writing a story and i want to make a royal family. it doesn't need to be exactly like real royal families. anyway, it would help a lot if someone could draw a diagram or provide an explanation. i can't really find what i'm looking for on google and there are a lot of mixed answers. Royal Family Purpose: i'm thinking that this royal family in particular could have greater importance than the nation's government, but only the king and the heir would have actual authority over the government, and the government mainly serves the king, rather than the rest of the royal family. so the throne won't necessarily be merged with the government, instead they will rule over it as a superior party. also this royal family will exist in fairly modern times, so i probably won't have any sword wielding knights appointed to defend royal family members. Royal Family Structure: the actual structure of the royal family is what is most confusing. let's start with the king at the center of the structure since that will make it easier. King's Wife: in this royal family structure the ruler (king or queen) is not allowed to have more than one spouse at a given time, and they are not allowed to have concubines. does the wife of the king usually have any power? is she automatically considered the queen of the nation just for being married to the king? does it make any difference if the king's wife originates from a common family or was originally already a member of the royal family (like distantly related to the king? King's progeny (throne succession): let's say that the king has multiple children. i know that usually the heir is the firstborn. i think i'll keep that tradition in my story, but it won't be an absolute rule. the firstborn can decline the title of heir. so i understand that after the king retires and the new king comes, the line of succession continues with the new king. but what happens to the new king's siblings? what place do they have in the royal family after the line of succession shifts to the new king? Servant families: are servant families the same thing as branch families or different family houses? what is the social status of servant families relative to commoners? are different parts of the royal family served by different servant families? i'll edit this OP as needed.

that's not really an issue in my region unless the bus is very packed. there were a lot of people on the bus but not quite enough that it can't be considered packed. in my region, courtesy seating is just as mandatory as priority seating, so as long as the stroller gets on the bus, people need to move for it. even if everyone gets on before the stroller they still need to leave space for the stroller, and it's only an issue if there is no room for the stroller to get on the bus after everyone else does, in which case, the parent(s) and stroller should get on a different bus or the next bus, because the parent(s) and stroller usually takes up enough space for 4-6 people standing. the benches at the front of the bus are able to be lifted to allow more room for strollers, wheelchairs, etc. even though both strollers were at the front of the bus, neither of the benches were lifted, leaving no space to safely walk by the strollers. i can't remember how many other people were at the front, but the seats at the front only fit 3 each, so it was possible for people to stand and have at least one of the benches lifted. of course the size of the strollers should also be accounted for. both strollers were big.

yeah... i just woke up. i wrote this when i was very tired and irritable due to me being in the process of fixing my sleeping schedule. i ended up going to bed 4 hours sooner than i wanted, but whatever. i'll try again today. of course, i was also feeling irritable when this situation was actually happening. everything that i typed is how i feel about it, but if i was not irritable then i wouldn't have bothered typing about it, and even if i did i would have been much less aggressive about it.

for the sake of discussion, feel free to discuss your experiences with this topic, or other transportation issues.. so earlier today i took the bus to the mall. usually i don't really get annoyed by much since i like to try to be a balanced person. the things that i can't stand the most are stupid people (not necessarily people with low iq, but people who just do very stupid things on a regular), virtue signalers, hypocrites, and liars. anyway, so when i was getting on the bus earlier there was a lineup of like 8 people or something. usually i am one of the first few people to get on since i have my change ready, and i know that i won't hold the line up. i also really don't want someone to just walk in ahead of me and then hold up the line for like 2-3 minutes before getting out of the way. this time i did not have my change ready. i don't mind if i don't get on first, it's just the way that it usually turns out. so right as i got my change ready and was walking to the bus behind someone else, the dumbass comes to a full stop right in front of me. i don't get it, but even though it's annoying for someone to randomly stop like that i didn't really care. so i look around to find a way around this idiot so that i can walk on the bus. as i am looking around i see that everyone else stopped as well, and there is this couple with a large fucking ass baby stroller. then i knew that i was fucked. let me explain. i know that the average folk somehow got it into their minds that the baby stroller should be let on the bus first. this notion is complete rubbish, and i have never allowed myself to be inconvenienced by this ridiculous nonsense before today. i will explain why it is stupid after i finish the story. so the dumbass in front of me is literally blocking my way and there is no way around her because a garbage bin and pole are right next to her. so they take their sweet ass time pushing the stroller onto the bus, and from the beginning of this process i had to stand there for over a minute, like i was a stupid fucking idiot, waiting for the stroller and everyone else to get on the bus because the moron in front of me didn't move when she was logically supposed to. when i finally got on the fucking bus guess what? there were a total of TWO baby strollers on the bus. the amount of space between them might as well have been non existent, almost blocking the entire passageway to get to the back of the bus. here's the problem. one of the strollers was blocking me from holding onto anything while i was dropping my money into the thing, so if the bus driver was careless and started driving the bus, i would have fell over onto the fucking stroller, most likely killing the baby inside of it. he almost did too. when the bus driver saw that i was falling the fuck over when he started the bus, he just stopped and waited. then when i was finally walking by the FUCKING strollers, the idiot asshole father didn't even try to the move the stroller more to make more walking room. "maybe he already moved the stroller as much as was possible beforehand". yeah, that's why the stroller goes on last, dumbass. i had the opportunity to test this out at least once before. the most memorable time was when i was at a bus terminal. like 15-20 people in line to get on the bus. when the bus showed up, every idiot stood aside for the stroller to get on the bus first. i took the opportunity to simply walk in front of everyone else to get on the bus and went straight to the back of the bus. after getting cozy, i watched as the mother struggled to get the baby stroller on the bus, probably also feeling a bit rushed by everyone's gazes behind her, then i also got to watch everyone waddle like dumbass penguins, struggling to walk by the baby stroller without bumping it, or falling on it, risking serious harm to the baby for each person that passes. i was waiting for like 3-4 minutes. if everyone without a stroller got on the bus first, and then the stroller got on, everything would have been much more smooth. in my region, both priority seating and courtesy seating are mandatory on public transit, so people wouldn't be allowed to take the space that the stroller would need. that would not be an issue. it's not "kind" to let the stroller go on first, because the kindness is already inherent in the courtesy seating rule. you simply cause unnecessary risk to the baby, as well as wasting more time. from now on whenever you see a stroller going on the bus with you, simply cut the stroller off and walk on first. then at least you don't have to risk tripping, falling onto a baby, and killing it. sorry for all of the swearing. i just never thought that i would become a victim of this horseshit. thinking about it made me burn with fury.
