    I'm logged into a remote desktop session on my desktop (in order to launch Steam). But when I sign into Steam on my laptop (on the same network) no option to stream appears on a game page.

    It has been a thing for a while. Total Biscuit has touched on it many times.

    Wait, but why would that affect LN2 and traditional cooling differently?

    Those are some strange ways to spell nVidia.

    1) Just request a refund as soon as it arrives, remove the label, affix the new label, and ship it out when you get a chance. 2) It's almost certainly not going to catch fire if you use them.

    I didn't copy it, but I did split the quote and deleted the first half of it (same as this quote). @colonel_mortis

    That piece of shit should never come back into existence.

    Not once in 13 years of owning a Mac has the charging port gotten too dirty to work. Do you literally live in a zoo? I still prefer USB-C for the versatility as you mentioned, but there are a ton of ways to have both. Namely, keeping magsafe while also allowing charging over USB-C. Or even simply including a magsafe to USB-C adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Macbook-Basevs-Devices-6-6FT-Sliver/dp/B07863DZ4D/ref=asc_df_B07863DZ4D/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309777534894&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18322197331675765352&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003534&hvtargid=pla-570480397890&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=58425267301&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=309777534894&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18322197331675765352&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003534&hvtargid=pla-570480397890).

    vpn

    Your traffic is still going through your network to reach the VPN.

    Pic 1: Check out The third bullet point in the main heading. But that's still besides the point. It is still a risk free trial period. Also, you're making a VERY big assumption to think that they're controlling the wording of advertising on third party sites -- especially when that advertising contradicts their own, where they are very clear about it being a risk-free guarantee.

    Well, I would check temps first and make sure nothing surprising is going on there. Otherwise I would just keep lowering the clockspeed until it no longer crashes. I would probably make a big jump down to start and then work the clockspeed back up.
  12. 79wjd
    The CPU/GPU might be unstable at their stock clocks. You could try downclocking them. It would also be worth keeping an eye on temps. The PSU is also pretty terrible and isn't truly 750w -- at least not in a useful sense. It can only do 450w on the 12v rail, which is still less than your system will draw, but it could also be degraded and not able to deliver that.

    It's not exactly misleading, and there's nothing wrong with them requiring details up front. Sure, having to provide details is annoying since then you have to remember to cancel, but that's still a choice you make when signing up for any subscription based service. As for the misleading part, it is a risk free trial period. You have 30 days to get a complete refund if you don't like it. E.g. You are given 30 days to trial the software and determine if it's for you or not. They're pretty clear up front:

    High read/write speeds are virtually imperceptible unless you're doing something that hammers reads/writes -- e.g. intensive video editing. It's the low latency of SSDs that makes the massive difference. The difference between a cheap SATA SSD (with DRAM) and the fastest NVME PCIE SSD will be almost non-existent in typical day-to-day tasks.

    There isn't going to be anything simpler than turning on a service, downloading a config file, and installing a client.
  16. 79wjd
    Asus routers have an OpenVPN service that can run on them. All your friend would need to do is turn it on, download the config file, and import it into an client compatible with OpenVPN. Alternatively, your friend can also likely flash DD-WRT onto whatever router they have now and do the same thing.

    The issue certainly does come from not updating immediately, but frankly, I'd rather have a potentially unpatched vulnerability than have my workflow interrupted. These days it's also less of an issue since you can defer updates for up to a month, but that wasn't the case before. Before, it would prompt you to restart with a timer and would force the restart as soon as work hours ended and the timer came due. So if the prompt appeared with a one hour timer and didn't appear until after you left work, then it was going to force the restart and there was nothing to prevent it. The only way to prevent it would be to see the dialog and postpone the restart for some fixed amount of time.

    What was your ping, against the same server, before you moved and what is your actual download speed -- not just what you pay for? Also, download speed on a multithreaded TCP connection can be high even with high ping.
  19. 79wjd
    And if you don't respond to that popup (because you didn't see it), then it will force the restart anyway.

    Great, so that encoding that's been running in Handbrake for the last 36 hours is now lost because Windows wanted to restart and I wasn't at my computer for 36 hours straight to say no.
  21. 79wjd
    Active hours is only a small window in the day. And if that notification happens to come in while you're at lunch, or overnight, then tough luck; it will restart by the time you get back.

    Hmmmm Make that 7.6999999999 billion employees. Then everything will be perfect for everybody.

    Which would be such a massive undertaking to benefit such a small percentage of users that it makes literally zero sense to do. No one is denying that Windows could have been designed better, but that's very different from the overly dramatic claims that it's a garbage OS that is hindering the majority of it's users when in reality it's a very very small vocal minority that are complaining while the vast majority of users have no problem with it.
  24. 79wjd
    That seems a bit insensitive. I think it would be better if Microsoft had a team of about 500 million people creating custom tailored versions to best suit each user.

    Well a GPO only works on Pro and up, not home, which is likely what most people have.
