    Computernaut got a reaction from jagdtigger in Microsoft to depreciate NTLM   
    Summary
    Microsoft have announced their intention to disable NTLM, mainly for security reasons. NTLM is used by many services as a way to integrate Windows/Microsoft-based authentication rather than a separate authentication systems (this is my understanding).
    They had this to say in an article from October 11:
     
    This topic grew into quite a spirited discussion on the r/sysadmin sub-reddit, with a number of amusing comments, a well as a whole load of very legitimate concerns (link in sources). In as much as Microsoft likes to change things seemingly arbitrarily, this shift (obtrusive though it is) does make sense, since NTLM is essentially a Protocol of Theseus at this point with how many patches on top of patches on top of patches just to make it secure enough for the modern IT world.

    Haha, yeah it isn't really as much of a thing in NA. It's far less hassle just to pay for the roaming when you go down to the US.
    I've never looked into travel data packages abroad, so I can't really comment on those. NA phones don't have multiple SIMs.
    Chinese phones are a horrible choice for NA as the huge majority are catered to
    If you're travelling to the US it's usually easier just to pay for the roaming package, and depending on your phone, it won't fully (or at all) work in a lot of Europe anyway. I get the idea, it just doesn't pan out in most cases and you could be massively overspending and getting less than you otherwise could. Which is very common in Canada.
    Motorola is a Chinese brand 😉

    Computernaut reacted to venomtail in Looking for a new (midrange) phone!   
    I can't not have an unlocked phone, but maybe that's the European speaking in me as I often travel to nearby countries and just pop in a local SIM for best deals on all data and calls. Some networks and carriers might allow a free unlocked 2nd, even 3rd sim slot but that's an exception. Unlocked device you never have to worry about that.

    Computernaut reacted to Klein Moretti in MIA?   
    It's about RoseLuck not acknowledging the existence of said person. Like saying "X is now Y" is fair but saying "I've never heard of X" doesn't even make sense and kinda lame. As he implied that 'X' never existed. I think thats the problem Computernaut was referring to, it has nothing to do with using someone's old name.

    Where did Anthony go? not seen him in any vids for ages. could be an interesting mini game, "wheres anthony?" and have him lurking in the videos somewhere. maybe win stuff or find him enough and get a whole month of anthony hosted videos.

    Normally a rod will make a rattling noise as the engine is gaining RPM's, the noise stops/goes away when you let off the gas.
    Yours is making it when you let off so I doubt it's a rod issue BUT it could be a problem with a piston rocking in the cylinder bore.

    Doesn't really sound like it to me but if you hear what sounds like a rod knocking BUT if does it when you let off the gas, that's when it can be a piston rocking in the bore.

    I'd think your problem is timing chain related or something similar to that, don't rule out it being something in the CVT as well since it uses a chain to drive the pump.

    That noise sounds a bit like mine does (Also a Nissan) except mine makes an audible groaning/whining noise all the time. Your problem, by the sound of it reminds me of a starter bendix being "Stuck", letting it grind since it's not making full engagement to the starter gear/ring but it's certainly not that at least.

    As the angle of the load changes from pushing to pulling from one side to the other the noise changes. Definitely cut your oil filter open and check for metal flakes and glitter.

    Rod knock, timing chain slap, or a heat shield. I'd lean toward timing chain slap, chains are common for those engines but probably you should check for loose rods

    Linus, right there in the middle, wearing a cool hat and calling himself "Augustus St. Gaudens". A sculptor.
     
    If current-day Linus has sculpting skills, wear some garlic when you're around him, or ask him for stock tips. Or both.

    Increase your temperature limit.
    Also run an actual game or proper benchmark. FurMark is set to have lower clocks and power draw in drivers due to it being a power virus.
     
    @Computernaut
    Also I noticed the GPU hit a max of 1785MHz overall. Not sure if MSI Afterburner was running since the machine was turned on(and maybe you played a game earlier), but it was able to hit 1785MHz.

    You're card appears to be thermal throttling since its sitting at 85c even with 100% fan speed. This is likely why you aren't hitting higher boost clocks.
