  1. if it was encrypted using the windows encryption system and you never backed up the relevant keys it's lost unless you have a backup of your old hard drive somewhere.
  2. Having different upload and download speeds is normal, usually. But your wifi speeds are very bad compared to your cable speeds. get a better wifi access point, or a better wifi receiver.
  3. Nice recommendations, While watching this video i was thinking "im sure there are backpacks this good but without the razer branding fee but i have no idea where to find them". This is where, i guess, thanks.
  4. Leave it to the internet to make an argument for an open standard being anti consumer.
  5. the youtube team revamping anything only means its going to get worse.

  7. Ugh. I signed up for vessel already so now i cant get a free year (i didnt sub or anything, just made an account). Gee way to punish early adopters.
  8. extremely. what i did not forsee is someone getting their knickers twisted over being (apparently correctly) evaluated as a console peasant. i'll 1v1 you on xbox call of duty noscopes only and win
  9. Don't use skype. It's quickly become a bloated broken PoS since microsoft purchased it.
  10. ​ ​lol ​ ​No, you cant "thrust" them (i assume you mean trust). Over and over again it's been shown these people abuse their positions, stealing items and personal info as well. There is NO excuse for anyone, let alone a customs agent or even a police officer forcing you to give them your password which may be used for multiple devices and gives them access to your personal communications, scheduline, contacts, history, etc. they have no right to have. It's insanity to just willingly give up your privacy to a stranger without even a warrant or ongoing investigation or anything. And you apologizing for them, saying it's OK? Give me full remote access to your pc right now and watch how quickly i dig up your personal information then see if you still have the same opinion. It's not about the gov in this case, it's about the individual, his friends, the airport, all the way up to and including the government. ​ ​
  11. vlc is buggy and crappy as hell. But it plays everything and does everything to a certain standard and thats what makes it for most people, including myself. At some point you get tired of messing about with video codecs and players and command line applications and just want to watch shit, so you install vlc after the reformat and forgot whatever hackeneyed setup you had working before.
  12. Raspberry pi, the assholes who use a blacklist thats based on who you follow on twitter. There are alternatives that dont do this.
  13. Im looking for a 24 inch 144hz 1080p freesync compatible monitor around $300 for a friend, does anyone have any ideas? Does this even exist at this pricepoint?
  14. Please forward to me the complete contents of your hard drive and pictures of your genitals from all angles. (assuming you're over-age)> i will be the judge of what you do or don't have to hide. In a world where governments are very imperfect and run by humans as stupid as the rest of us, privacy is EXTREMELY important.
  15. I think anyone who wants to force everyone else to act a certain way under penalty of violence is a either a shortsighted buffoon or an intentionally malicious authoritarian.
  16. Meh, go with someone other than rasberry pi. theres a few with better or comparable specs for the same price. Also PI uses it's official twitter account to slander people for some reason. I dont know what business a tech company has doing that.
  17. Double dipping? it's free to begin with. If you actually look into the issue, hell even the quotes in the OP, you'll see why "some people were somehow okay with this". First of all, adblock plus attempts to encourage ads to be less intrusive through a system where there is an option inside adblock plus to allow nondisruptive ads (no popups, no animations, no malware or bullcrap). There is a fee with getting your ad reviewed for *possibly* being put on the allowed list. This is what adblock plus is being paid for. Inclusion in a user defined option to allow unintrusive advertising through. I know some people dislike even this system, but quite frankly, if you think the best way to criticize a system is to outright lie about what it is (like the title does) or make up shit you're shooting yourself in the foot.
  18. they said for months the game wouldnt be pay to win, the day after release they patch it to make it pay to win. It wasn't even a preorder issue.
  19. You don't seem to involved at all, so who cares. Was obviously a stupid decision to ever believe SOE wouldnt lie about the game's inentions, you should be fine with people... not being scammed...
  20. But, kotaku just took a reddit post and wrote a story about it without verifying it, any problems you have with reddit simply transfer. Hell, kotaku is *less* trustworthy than reddit, more likely their content was paid for, though this is very unlikely in this case i admit.
  21. Why would you link kotaku instead of the original r/pcmasterrace post that they just copied and pasted.
  22. Really isn't. There's so many stupid little time wasters that it adds up to a huge fucking pile of annoying shit you have to deal with constantly. Look, if you're a user who never learned alt-tab im sure it works just the same for you, but between the interface split into 3 different kinds of UI, multiple settings menus for the same thing that change different options, that broken ass charms shit that you can't even disable with a regedit, you are one delusional motherducker if you think it's fine. God damn win 8 apologists everywhere.
