oh wow i didnt even think about the custom fan curves since i never was able to use the feature because of my old gpu being really old now im getting 64 on msi kombustor stress test

73 is not a bad load gpu temp. Have you tried custom fan curves yet? All my cards have run hot on stock fan curves. If you are going to reapply id recommend thermal grizzly kryonaut (preferred) or hydronaut (still good). Knocked a few degrees off of what mx4 did for me

- Hey, Ketcchup, I want a new PC and I want to play LoL on it!
- Okay, look, you can buy this custom PC with this APU and this MB and this ram and etc...., I laso included the assembling in the setup so you don't have to do anything, just boot it up.
- Nice!! It will run much better than my current pentium 4 right?
- Yea, much better.
 
 
1 week later..
 
 
-HEY I finally bought this laptop.
- * looks at the paper* "Celeron N2830 2GB RAM" - WTF did you just do...
- WELL ITS NEW SO WILL RUN BETTER RIGHT??

This is a surprisingly common problem.
Working at a helpdesk I feel this pain on a daily basis

Umm, are you fucking kidding me? ADHD is absolutely real. I happen to suffer from it. Try having your mind running at 10000000000000000000 miles per hour constantly, with no control over it what-so-ever, and then tell me its not real.
  Technically speaking, AIDS itself can't kill you (to my knowledge), something else that your immune system can't fight (because of the aids) is what kills you.

And what is the source of starvation in that instance? Anorexia. It's like saying "guns never killed anyone. It's called death."

Try to explain to her that not eating at all is actually the absolute worst thing you can do for losing weight. What will happen is that, after not getting the required nutrients for a while, your  body literally switches over to "starvation mode" and will take any and all spare calories and convert them to fat. This is actually a sort of defense mechanism because your body recognizes that it's not getting all the energy it needs, so it wants to make sure that it has a stockpile for when it's running low. I'm am speaking from experience. I am SUPER bad at making sure to eat at regular meal times because I will get so focused on whatever it is I'm working on that I will just not feel hungry. Because I have done this for years (probably the last 10 years for sure) I have a really hard time losing weight, because any time I start working out my body starts packing away any extra calories it can, and I actually gain about 10-15 lbs before it's will start burning off (and I only ever lose weight when I actually remember to eat properly).
 
If she really-truely, deep down in her soul, feels that she needs to lose some weight, her best chances come from:
1) Eating proper (healthy) foods, and eating in moderation.
Don't let he buy into any of the stupid "fad" diets out there. Everything comes from moderation, or the ancient Greek word/concept of pharmakon, which is where we get our word "pharmacy". It translates as the word "drug" meaning either "cure" or "poison", and it basically means "too much or too little of one thing is dangerous". She needs to eat properly and only eat as much as it takes to feel full. The best advice I can give here is: make sure you ALWAYS eats breakfast. Even if you're not really hungry at all, eat some kind of protein and grains. It jump starts your metabolism, will help you keep burning calories throughout the day, and it will help you keep your energy up.
 
2) Exercise. Even if it's just a 10 minute walk around the neighborhood, a daily exercise routine will help you burn calories.
 
Try to pass this info onto her, but if she is determined that she knows what is best for her, you're just going to have to respect her decision and support her in whatever way you can. 

Of course a Blu Ray can hold 2 hours of 1080p, . thats kind of what they are for 1080p movies haha - I mean the average blu ray can hold like 25gb of data
 
Honestly though I would look into getting an HDMI media player (or a little android TV stick) and loading up the shows and movies to an SD Card or USB stick - something like the Sumvision Cyclone or something cheap

Let's say there's this thing called "sea thieving" that could "magically" give you games.
 
This is a very appropriate case for "sea thieving", a lot of developers think it's fine to "sea steal" games when their games are impossible or very hard to access.
And no, sea thieving is not pirating, one uses magic and the other uses illegal torrents, very different concepts.

why ...why...why...did you order a prebuilt POS

Honestly at that rank, just learn how to shoot, you can 1v5 most rounds.

Yeah. That's basically all you can do. If you don't, you'll get a 2 week ban, 8 months the second time and the 3rd time it's a permanent ban.
Also from what I've heard, the support will ban you no matter what "because you could have left the lobby". At least that's what happened to one of my friends.

There's a wireless adapter for them, but the software and drivers are complete crap to be honest. Wired is really a much better option. 

Recent VAC ban. Looks like someone was caught in the recent CS:GO Vac waves. I can't believe someone like you has the balls to ask for free stuff. I mean, you literally couldn't take it even if someone were willing.

Working as High school IT support - kid comes up to me for help.
 
Me: Hi, what do you need?
Kid: I need to connect my Macbook to the projector in a room can you help?
Me: What seems to be the problem? Is it plugged in yet?
Kid: The teacher said I need an adapter...
Me: Ah ok, do you know what kind?
Kid: Yes its a HDMI to windows port thing adapter.
Me: ._.
Kid: *points to a VGA port on my PC*
Me: .___.
 
 
 
 
 

I have something that is a epidemic in my thread for my 970 Owners club which is people are flashing my bios directly onto their card even though you are supposed to copy my bios into your stock bios since most bios's have different settings behind the scenes depending if its Hynix or Samsung.
 
So basically people are flashing samsung bios's onto their hynix cards because they aren't reading. which can cause death of the card or a brick.

First of all TB doesn't do reviews. His content is first impressions and basically telling us if a game actually works or not and what it's generally about. Joe does full on reviews where he plays through the game and analysis all it's elements and then explains what is good and what is bad about the game and the mechanics.
 
They are 2 different type of content and should be looked as such.
 
 
As for the personalities I enjoy TB-s cynical nature a bit more. And for me it took a bit to get use to Joes personality.

TotalBiscuit doesn't do reviews so this poll is useless.

DMG player here - this request is trash. This'll just encourage people to duo, be unkickable, and start kicks on anyone and everyone they don't like. That's why the system is there. So the kicking isn't abused.

you should probably choose better porn sites. 

I'd love to spend 10 minutes as those guys, it must be so wonderful being so dumb.

My friend's playing GTA at my place, and it seems rather slow. I wasn't paying attention cause I was doing something else. I checked the settings and they were already on the lowest. It should run well, considering that it's fine when I play it. When I checked task manager, there were 6 GTA Vs running. I was like WTF!?! turns out he double clicked the shortcut multiple times cause it wasn't loading within the first 1 nanosecond. I feel scared to leave him on his own.
 
 
It seems like I'm posting here multiple times. You can say that I'm faking things, but it's also possible that there are idiots around me that can't survive without me helping them all the time.
 
Also, my friend tried to run Autocad 2016 on a laptop with 2 GB of RAM and was complaining about how slow it is. When I asked why she bought it, she said that it was the cheapest laptop around and didn't bother with the specs. Also, my department gave out laptops to those that can't afford it. When I looked at the specs, it was horrendous. I'm in an engineering college, they should know better! Wait, the bureaucracy is being held by old hags that can't know better. 

You would be surprised how many people in software for IT don't know anything about hardware... As long as they can write code and develop stuff without an hiccups or issues, they don't really mind.. People like me who know hardware know programs for coding, but don't really know how to.
