    Do you want a New PC, or some DDR5 memory?

    in Tech News

    Posted

    I7 4771 and rx580 still works great with 16gb ddr3. Same for 4770s, gtx760 and ddr3 16gb. Windows 11 is designed to stop us from enjoying all this great hardware that never gets completely used up. Most people just play csgo and minecraft anyways. Most computer improvements are ac waste.  You'd be better off buying and fixing a small house.

    people also refuse to wipe their ass with paper towels.

    Paper towels are not for wiping your butt,  or flushing.  Sounds like you're gonna need a plumber before they make a vaccine. Stop giving bad paper advice. ONLY Toilet paper and tissue paper can be flushed.

    Why someone with that reputation, with 1,5 million views, with 52000 likes, says that nonsense unverified opinions?

     

    If I had a channel with that many visitors, at least I would try to spend some time to investigate problem, not speak unverified thoughts.

     

    This is quote from Microsoft website link

    "Authorized Software and Activation. You are authorized to use this software only if you are properly licensed and the software has been properly activated with a genuine product key or by other authorized method."

     

    It's not written there anything like "you can use our software for free with our annoying watermark because we don't protect our software using hardcore methods".

     

    If searching internet for FACTS is too much for Tech Quickie, there is always Microsoft Call Center. Or you can even write to Microsoft question: "is your system free? can I use it with watermark, because you not made better protection?".

     

    Seriously, I expected something more from Tech Quickie. With that number of viewers, this guy is basically TV reporter and it is his responsibility to provide verified informations.

    You would fall in the realm of Mordor.

    Mom want's a security system for Air B&B

    My mother is looking at getting a home security system so she can monitor the house and make sure no one steals anything while her home is being rented out. Problem is she doesn't know the first thing about security systems and I'm not a whole lot better myself.

    What we're looking for is something with three or more cameras, two outdoor and one indoor. She want's it to store footage locally on a DVR or something like that so she can go back and watch the footage later. Also, something that connects to the internet would be best so she could view the footage from her phone while she's out and about.

    Is something like this good? https://www.newegg.com/laview-lv-941folf4bw-4-channel-kit-solution/p/N82E16881183133

     No. Do not do that.  Do not ever let anyone stay over. If you do, prepare bad times. It's safe to say you're not a descendent of a knight of hospitaller. I understand you wanted to try out an idea, but i showed my wife your paragraph.  She was horrified. You should seriously be chanting "NO"... If anybody did steal, it could cause you both to get put in jail.  Getting booked at the same time can risk being put in the same cell if the town is even small enough.........

     

    Rule of thumb.  Don't do that. Don't think that.  Say no.

     

    Now if you needed a  view of the back yard, street, and porch.  Alarms will be misery with the police calls and having to change the alarm all the time.  It would only be used when people weren't staying there really.  Doesnt sound like a money making scheme to me.. if you screw people over don't expect repeat customers.  Good customers leave when you put a bad taste in their mouth. If you only expect trash you'll only ever get theiving peasants for tenants.

    Yeah.  The last days of fast 4/4 are happening. 4/8 may not be that far behind though.

    People as a whole don't use computers like people that use forums say they do. 4/8 should become the economic sweet spot and people with 4 will just wish they were hyperthreading.  There's still 2 core out there using ssd, and those are plenty fast for simple work.

    I disagree, but ok.

    I use firefox all the time. Except for some streams, because it locks up after a few minutes.  It's hysterical how someone can report personal experience that can go back as far as netscape, and have someone be all like nah. Way back when in the year 2012: you'd have a better chance being allowed that download on internet explorer after a crappy firefox update. Not that anyone should use IE. But ok..................................

    Is Die Hard a Christmas Movie

    It's a movie that happens during the Christmas season.

    That's all it is. It is NOT an actual Christmas movie. It's an action movie where the events of said movie just so happen to be in that time.

     

    There's a ton of reasons as to why it isn't, but to me, the single most important reason why it is not a Christmas movie...

    Is the release date.

    That's right, the release date. Not the overarching themes that do not match what a Christmas movie usually is(though it is important), but the release date.

    Die Hard 1 and 2 came out in July.

     

    Nearly every "proper" Christmas movies came out late September to December and were likely to still be in theater by Christmas day. (there are a few outlier out there, but for example, out of the 50 recent ones that I could find, all but a single french movie(A Christmas Tale from 2008) were released in that time frame.)
    By the time Christmas rolled around, Die Hard was no longer airing in theaters. It's not a Christmas movie. It's a midsummer action blockbuster that just so happen to have used Christmas as the plot's excuse to explain why he was there.

    It could've literally happened on any other day, like Valentine, but if it did do you think anybody would go around claiming "well obviously it's a romantic movie for lovers everywhere because it's happening on Valentine's day!" ? Obviously not. It's not a Christmas movie, claiming that it is, is just trolling at this point and fishing for reactions.

    Bruce Willis plays an antihero. It's an anti Christmas movie. It was released for Christmas in July which is when shoppers try to sneak in deals like buying heaters in the summer for use during a time frame that happens to be Christmas. Die hard is about breaking the mold, poking fun at mold, and reusing broken mold to create another one. They did do the same thing with 2 only blew up an airport. I dont think people initially went to see the movie and thought xmas, but they did once they saw it.

    So am buying a new laptop and are wondering how much of a difference does 1000MHz make its between the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q at 7000MHz and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q at 8000MHz. Also it seems that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q has a higher MHz boost than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q. The difference of price between the laptops are $175.

    Thank you very much for any help ?

    You want the 1650.

    Are these SAT scores good enough?

    I Keep thinking about that dumb shit brat Daniel Eaton aka paps223 who's mom paid to top get him good homeschool grades. I wonder if he still gets a dell prebuilt every year.

     

    Life is about what you do yourself. Not what mom and dad want, and do for you.

     

    If you're really smart you'd find a way to make the gov pay you off for life before you're too old to enjoy yourself.. Instead of flexing keyboard nuts on a forum only linus and his rgb crew hang out on. I would have liked to, but I didn't have to finish my air force degree.  They pay me to stay home.

     

    School is nice,  but don't forget the guy that made half-life dropped out of Harvard. Abraham Lincoln apparently taught himself to read, and invented a wood mallet that cannot lose its head. that we don't even use anymore. Thomas Edison ripped off everybody and America still thinks he invented electricity.

     

    But keep testing well im sure synthetic benchmarks are everything in a world that judges dick size off the price and ability to fix your own car. If you think I'm full of it.  Think about how cardi B and post malone are a few in control of consumerism as we speak. There's enough morons to vote in trump. Anyone for microtransactions?

    That's why I'm on off topic, but I do dream of getting a nicer computer setup in the future. My current setup works for me, but leaves a little to be desired. Maybe my parents will let me get a job over the summer and save for some upgrades.

     

    The thing is it will get me into a lot of stuff, but it's not a 1600 and 8/8/8 and still slightly below average for some dream schools. Right now, I'm stuck between computer science and software engineering. I also have no idea what other things I want in a college other than pure academics and being at least a plane ride or long drive from home. Also, I don't know if I want bachelor's or masters. I don't think I have to worry about student debt too much because I have rich parents and can probably also get a lot of scholarships, but I'll still consider it as an option.

     

    Partly to flex, partly because I don't know if it covers the dream schools as well.

     

    I actually enjoy taking tests. They just don't feel very hard for me, and I get the thrill of seeing a good score. I just hate the idea of having to pay a shit ton of money for a piece of paper that's scanned by a computer. I know that they also have to pay proctors and essay readers, but that's probably less than $5 per person if they pay them $15/hr, and I'd be willing to bet that they're minimum wage. I highly doubt that designing the questions costs $50 million per year ($25 out of the registration fee for 2 million students, yes I just made up the $25). I know fee waivers exist, but that means that they're still ripping off people who can "afford" to be ripped off.

    Student debt can keep you from stepping to the next stage at life.  Make sure you choose a school you won't have to worry about funds. Go for scholarship. look for dorms (some are 4 room "apartments" now). Good cafeteria, local food,  mobility, etc. make sure moral is good. You want a cheap used car market.  Don't go to a technical college where junk is expensive. It just hurts you while you're there. Creating a hole.   Don't let a test convince you that real world anomalies don't exist.  The smartest scientist could get stranded on the desert for not topping off a radiator.  When you are at  a crossroads with yourself, ponder if future self would like it.
