    The question is indeed did you click the unsubscribe link and still receive them? Because it's all standard, only if they don't respect your requests to shut up would it become shady.

    Definitely. Any memtest fail is unacceptable and means the machine won't work right.

    Kilrah got a reaction from leadeater in Ok to replace iron wolf with exos of the same capacity in raidz?   
    Should be fine, I've got both of them mixed, essentially the same drives.

    Kilrah got a reaction from Onions in Is exFAT the best option for data drives/partitions on a dual boot system?   
    Yeah, still the most compatible, but also not the most reliable.
     
    I would keep the important documents NTFS and mount that read-only on linux, and have one exfat drive for steam and as "exchange" between the 2. But then I'm mostly using Windows and when I'm on linux I usually can do with only reading the Windows docs.

    Use something like Process Hacker, set it to highlight starting/stopping processes for 10 seconds, plug the dock in and see what comes and goes. 
     
    It's likely something the driver does when it sees it, the dock itself should not have the ability to run something on the host machine.

    They're not going to run any modern esports games very well, if at all. 
     
    However, if you wanted to make a LAN for games up through the mid 2000s on XP (Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake III Arena, etc), they'll run those no problem.
     
    To me, Pentium 4s and Core 2s fall into a void where they're too "new" to be interesting but far too old to be useful. I'd pass.
     
    Those are the refreshed "Wolfdale" dual core processors. 2 cores, 2 threads.

    Why AI?
    Those problems can be solved with algorithms and not much computing power.

    Kilrah reacted to Alex Atkin UK in How do I get my old Windows user back? I NEED it.   
    Bottom line, it makes no sense to install applications on D: as that wont stop it from storing the configuration files on C:.  If C: corrupts, you'll have the same problem and have to reinstall the applications anyway due to all the registry stuff.  Its never ever worth trying to hack things back into the registry to make applications work without a reinstall, you'll just mess up your new Windows install again.
     
    I've always stored as much as possible on D:, before moving to storing most stuff on a NAS.  When it comes to getting application settings back, its just safer to start from scratch than try to move things over.  Your OS got corrupted, so anything you move over from there is a risk it was corrupted.  So its only worth moving what is absolutely essential.
     
    The only thing I ever used to move between installs was my Firefox profile, that was dead easy.  Depending on why your previous OS got corrupted, it could be your Brave profile is corrupt and why it keeps refusing to use it.
     
    This was actually one reason I fell in love with Linux, its so much easier to backup everything and a complete OS reinstall can be done without wiping anything in your user folder.

    Customer dropped off this behemoth for recycling. Dual Intel Xeon X5570 processors, 12 sticks of HP DDR3 ECC 1333mhz RAM, Nvidia FX 580 (I replaced it with a GT 1030 in the meantime). I'm taking this baby home to play with, no way I'm letting it get recycled.
