You guys could play half life 2 together using the Synergy mod.

One thing you need to do is crack the thing open and check to see if the system board is one of those that has a clock capacitor, and if it does remove it as it can fail after years of non use and render the system completely unusable.

Trust me, if they had called it "AMD Ryzen 5 AND 3 SIMULATED!" this wouldn't be happening. Changing it after the fact is just them trying to save face.
When I try to look up Ryzen 5 and 3 benchmarks after they actually release I don't want to see this shit instead...

Could the LTT crew please listen to the community and stop with the retarded thumbnails and insane clickbait (although that vary's with videos some are worse than others).
 
We get it that it get's you guys more money but simply faking a title is wrong.
I liked it when the thumbnails represented the product or the topic more like they did a year ago.
 
This video has a intriguing title and a good Thumbnail.                                    This more recent one sucks, Photo shopped asf and is ugly, not helpful at all.
Gives a good view of the product and is nice.                                                  I mean WHAT DO HOTDOGS HAVE TO DO WITH AN ALL-IN-ONE?!?
                                                        
 
Or this thumbnail is really good!                                                VS             Then you have thumbnails like this one which have nothing to do with the
Topnotch camera work by brandon and the title just works.                              video itself.. Please.
                                         
 
Thumbnails that are not photo shopped are way better and the ones that are shouldn't be used it as it gives the video a way less professional look and is just plain annoying and anti-consumer.

I have both Win10 home and Win10 Pro, both are forced run windows update and both can schedule a restart like when you want to. Win10 Pro gives you additional settings like what was available with win7. This is now located in group policy.

Regedit goto hklm/software/Microsoft/windows/currentversion/windowsupdate/osupgrade create dword 32 bit called AllowOSUpgrade and add a decimal value of 1 and refresh windows update i've upgraded 4 rig this way after the hidden folder windows.bt was created

man you need a score board so we can boast about how long we lasted

I may be reading this wrong but, did you leave it as a .txt file?

I don't know if I could particularly call it fun, but I'm setting out to write a simple, configurable Point of Sales system that interacts with a database file, written in C#. Not for anything in particular, but I think it could be a good thing to help me explore more into the .NET framework and better grasp OOP. 

alright so my biggest project is actually one i still work on. the uni i am attending needed new software for the mailroom to manage and track packages on campus. so far their database of info has roughly 25 thousand packages and the system is only 15 months old. not UPS or FedEx scale here but to me that is a good amount of data to be handling. currently i am working on rewriting some aspects of the software that were either poorly written or not generic enough to allow future expansion easily. its written in java which isnt my favorite language but it allows me to quickly develop and deploy on multiple platforms easily.

My dissertation for university...

Thought I'd share my story of this year.
At the start of the year for the degree I'm in we form groups and commit to a year long project.
Being foolish undergraduates we decided we would make an application to digitize all of the rules for a Table top RPG Pathfinder (Think D&D if you aren't familiar) because we thought it would be fun and a breeze. My god were we wrong, just a small example that I have been working on this week:
 
A Class has features,
each feature has an effect,
each effect can affect any part of the Character which is a 20+ field class...
Some features have more than one effect,
some classes have effects you can only get if you are a specialization of that class....
and we need to read all this stuff in from tab separated values.
 
It's a bigger undertaking than the team who is making farm management software..
 
Can anyone relate?
 

We are using java 8 and javafx so most of our debug is actually just stack-traces because of how my google-foo is bad/there isn't much on javafx, Thank oracle for their compiler, but nothing else
 
Ha well its always good to hear what other would think of my titles, so many stack overflow post have been deleted for "not being questions"

What you really want to learn is PROGRAMMING, some these people seem hung up on the applications of each language, and though I don't know where python is really useful, I haven't encountered it yet in a windows environment.
 
Anything that is not a one of the big 'C like' languages (I.e. C, C++) is often overlooked for their inferior speed due to the fact that they are compiled at some point and probably run on some low level an application (Virtual machine).
For example I have heard many people talk about how java is absolutely pointless because of this but if you want to make an application that works on OSX, Linux and Windows, with minimal effort your code just works because of the Java Virtual Machine.
 
Android's most documented programming language IMO is java too but your java programs won't work on android without a fair level of blood sweat and tears.
 
C# (read: C sharp) is microsofts 'EZPZ' coding language for the windows environment, if we are looking at making games Unity uses C# and there is the mono community whose projects allow you to use C# outside of just windows operating systems (the microsoft environment is a bit weird and messy with their whole Common language runtime but thats another story).
 
To the subject at hand Javascript (note it has nothing whatsoever to do with java) is often seen as a scripting language though some like to call it the C of the internet because aside from whatever the browser you have it running in's features its actually pretty bare bones. This combined with the fact that OO in js is baffling to a novice user and you may find (infact I highly recommend) that you should learn one of the C like languages first and then move onwards to 'scripting' languages.
 
No matter the language being able to go from
// How the snippet is read in the english languagefor each item in array item becomes a new Item to this in java
for(Item item: array) { item = new Item();} to this in C#
foreach(Item item in array){ item = new Item();} to this in js (in an environment with ECMAScript5 support)
array.forEach(function(item) { item = new Item();}); That is the most important thing.
 
 
TLDR
 
1) Is it worth it earning JavaScript?
YES its a very widely used language, just don't make it your main focus and it probably shouldn't be what you first learn with
 
2) Is it useful for making high end pieces of simple software - like games/apps etc?  
Yes and no, very useful, not purely used in making pieces of software
 
3) Is it very hard to learn and make good use of it?
It can be if you want to learn the fundamentals of programming (and you want to do that) using only Javascript, its not hard to make good use of when you know what to use it for

wow guys, way to represent the internet as NOT a bunch of kneejerk spastics.
John Carmak is still on the team and none of the original staff has been layed off yet, not to mention the fact that Oculus has been scrambling for funding through its whole development.
Now they can appeal to the whole board of Facebook investors and Facebook has never been a bad company in terms of technology, they just suck at privacy which as we all know we can easily control ourselves (hotspot shield anyone?)
 
Don't stop purchasing Oculus products because then VR really will die, just keep being loud about your concerns, Investors hate angry mobs.

Good lord people, stop over-reacting.
Oculus kickstarted the race to decent Virtual Reality technology. Even if it were to fail itself it has already paved the path for others to follow - it's inevitable that we will have decent VR tech. Look at Sony's VR tech for crying out loud - the rumours currently circulating suggest that it's got a superior visual clarity and depth compared to any of the current iterations of the Rift.
I am quite sure that Oculus will continue unhindered by its acquisition by Facebook, and may in-fact benefit from it. Facebook is a very large and influential company - they would not purchase Oculus unless they were absolutely confident that its purchase would result in good PR and potentially money for their company. It is NOT in their interest to run it into the ground.

Why are you all so quick to judge? Why don't you at least wait to see what happens with this?
 
Facebook has a lot more money they Oculus VR ever did and therefore are able to inject a lotta money into the whole industry, bringing advancements in technology to everyone. This happened TODAY and already people are hating, you have no idea what Zuckerberg's plans are for this. They also have a lot of influence on everything that goes on socially in the world and they could tie that in with VR nicely.

Terrible news but in one way I see it as good oportunity. Why? Facebook probably wants to speed things up so that we get consumer version sooner. Remember Oculus was Hiring? Yup, that's what's up - moremoney, more engineers = faster developement.
The drawback:
1) We don't trust facebook's actions and we don't know what are they thinking. What if they screw it up?
2) If developement of that goes too fast, Oculus Rift headset might get too much "performance hungry" for gamers...
