The image stabilization system in a photo camera relies on having a glass element inside the lens or the sensor being able to shift movement based on camera vibration/shake. The image stabilization inside a camcorder for example is more like a gimble system, it moves the entire container which holds the lens and sensor. The first part of this video shows you how IS works for a photo camera. This video shows lens shift IS. Here is a video that shows how sensor shift IS works. This is how IS works for a proper video camera. The IS for a photo camera works for taking still images because it only captures a moment in time. But when it comes to recording motion or moving images, it cannot compete with the type of smoothness provided by a system based on the idea of a gimble.

So following a moderator's advice we are going to be discussing a lighter topic. Lots of people say that education into things like algebra and pythagorean theorem is useless because they never use it in real life. My take on this is that it is good to have children experience a wide range of subjects so when they have to choose a profession they know enough to choose with knowledge of what is available and what its like. But while I have no problems with the usual topics like science, math, reading it is annoying how we have to take a family consumer class and a fine arts class in high school. And because of that there are a few classes that i'd like to take but have no room in my schedule. What are your take on this topic.

Hello, I'm currently choosing what i want to do after secondary school and i have a lot of options. However, i do now that i am passionate about science (physics mostly) and mathematics. I can choose 3, here are my options: Triple Science (chance to get A++ in all 3 sciences (which isn't possible any other way)) GCSE Computer Science (I know very little about this topic) GCSE French (I do like languages also) BTEC Engineering GCSE Statistics GCSE Applied Business But, i do have more options but those are the ones that stick out. I have took a lot of advice from different people and they say Engineering is needed at this moment. However, i'm quite afraid that by the time i get to the employment stage their will be a flood of Engineers; lack of jobs. Finally, i understand that i have to do what i like but i like all of these subjects... Well, y'know. So, what opinion do you guys have and have you got any tips? Much appreciated, Jon.

Power supplies are the source to everything in your computer, it powers everything obviously, so here is why it is the item to Never skimp on. Everything from ripple to 12v amperage can be a great indicator of a PSU's capability, in some cases it can be different. An example of an outstanding power supply with some very minor issues. From JonnyGuru. Performance (40% of the final score) - we come at last to the scoring. There are a number of things I like about this unit, and a number of things that seem rather ordinary to me. I liked the astounding overshoot transient performance. That 3 volt spike on the 12V rail isn't something I expect to see again... most units can't do better than 7V. I also liked the 12V voltage stability - as typical of big Enhance designs, it was quite content to give me 1% numbers the whole time the unit was running. I also liked the lack of heat generated by the unit, translating into lower fan speeds and extended functionality above the forty degree mark. Where this unit starts to slide a bit is in the performance of the minor rails. The 3.3V and 5V rails both had some underwhelming characteristics, namely the more or less average 3% voltage regulation and the approaching of the ATX spec for ripple. And let's not forget that my unit only barely did 80 Plus Silver, and that's if we round up. All of this makes for a very good but not an excellent power supply, and so I think I will give it an 8 for performance. Functionality (20% of the final score) - the story gets a little better for the unit here, as the full modularity of this unit helps it greatly. You can unplug any cable you want right up to and including the main ATX cable itself, and for those who find themselves dealing with a space constricted case this could be a very good thing indeed. The unit has plenty of PCI express connectors for multiple video cards, and a good mix of both SATA and Molex connectors. Now, the news isn't all good. We're still dealing with those 250mm long stretches of cable between the connectors on the SATA and Molex chains. I don't reckon we need that much cabling between connectors any more now than we did when I last complained about it. 8. Value (30% of the final score) - Sundial Micro is offering this unit for $178.99. That's actually quite a decent price. The Coolermaster M1000 is a bit cheaper, but most everything else around the 1kW mark including theCorsair HX1000 is a fair bit more money. I'll see my way to a 9.5 on this score. Aesthetics (10% of the final score) - as always, I can't fault a matte black unit for being unpretty, because it isn't unpretty. What I can fault is Silverstone's continuing trend of plastering big stickers all over that wonderful matte black finish. Maybe can we make a few of these things smaller? Maybe move the embossed Silverstone logo to a panel where we can actually see it? 9. Performance 8 Functionality 8 Value 9.5 Aesthetics 9 Total Score 8.5 Summary Silverstone's Strider Plus at one kilowatt isn't a half bad unit by any measure. It regulates well, it's fairly efficient, it runs cool, and a fair bit of extra goodies comes in the box with it. The only things I can find fault with are the ripple suppression on the two minor rails and the continued issue with the excessive cable lengths between Molex and SATA connectors. This unit does have a lot going for it, but as is it just barely misses getting that nice recommended graphic from us. The Good: efficient FANTASTIC 12 volt turn-on spike suppression very stable 12V rail The Bad: barely capable of 80 Plus SilverThe Mediocre: 3.3V and 5V are a bit ripple-tastic Example of a power supply with an overrated wattage. Here we have the Coolmax CTI-700B 700 watts taken from an Ebay listing. Product Condition:New Specification Mfr Part Number: 14736 Features:Dual PCI-E Connectors (at 700W) Dual 80 mm fans built for long life, durability, and fastest cooling time Automatic fan setting available for most effective heat dissipation APFC/PPFC (Optional) Over voltage protection, short circuit protection on all output levels Tube-tied on the main connector for clean look and feel Total Power: 700 W Input: 100~132VAC or 200~264VAC Output: +3.3V @ 28A; +5V @ 28A; +12V1 @ 18A; +12V2 @ 16A; +12V3 @ 16A; -12V @ 0.5A; +5VSB @ 3A Connectors: 1x 20+4pin Main Power, 1x 4+4pin CPU Power, 2x 6pin PCI-Express; 4x 15pin SATA, 4x Peripheral, 1x 4pin FDD Color: Black Dimensions (WxLxH): 5.50 x 6.00 x 3.50 inch / 14.0 x 15.2 x 8.89 cm What you will find is that the amperage on the 12v rail is not enough to fulfill 700watts. Here is a Coolermaster V700 700 watts.. You can clearly see the Coolermaster is far more capable of outputting a continuous 700 watts in comparison to the Coolmax. Here is some demonstrations of bad power supplies failing. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story4&reid=379 "It gave me a light show I've only seen rivaled by a major fireworks display. And it all happened off camera, blast it. We'll find out what went kablooey on the next page." My favorite source of power supply knowledge is JonnyGuru, excellent website aimed at power supply testing. I just want everyone here and elsewhere to heed this information, it is valuable information to those who want a system that will last longer than a week. When PSU's go boom, so does most of the other components inside your PC. Be warned of these manufacturers!

There are more.... Manufacturers that are doable but not recommended. Nox - Ebay/Amazon/ Local stores/ Online stores FSP - Some dodgy units, some stellar units, mostly 80+ rated to go for! Manufacturers to trust every time, just keep up to date with reviews for common sense reasons. Seasonic Silverstone XFX Corsair Superflower Antec EVGA Fractal Design Enermax LEPA Be Quiet! Coolermaster - This company in the past have had craptacluar PSU's, but have stepped their game up majorly in recent years, their V line is outstanding currently! Thermaltake - Some bad units in their history, though their toughpower line are some of the best in recent years. Zalman - FSP/Enhance built power supplies, basically Silverstone/FSP. NZXT - Most notably their HALE series, Excellent PSU's! Unknown. Bitfenix? Feel free to critic me, also update me with stuff to add here.

Hi, So I have a Titan Black. I planned on 3D modelling with it. My applications include: AutoCAD, AutoInventor, 3ds Max, Maya, Ansys Fluent, and many more. However, I noticed that when I'm in Autodesk Inventor, viewport navigation lags like hell when I pan and zoom around. I checked MSI Afterburner and found that the GPU was doing barely any work, this is the same for the CPU. So what do I need to do to make Auto Inventor make use of my GPU AND CPU? The GPU doesn't even present normal clocks due to the minimal work load. In fact, it runs at around 500mhz to conserve energy. That being said, I game and fold@home without problems. So then, how can I make Autodesk Inventor work with Titan blacks? Or is this a GPU/firmware problem?

This is a topic for you to say what you think about IT or Computer classes at a mid-school level. First I'll tell you something. I don't have IT classes, but because most of my class has them and I like computers and technology I know what goes on in them, I don't have them because when I got to 7th grade I got to choose either IT or music and I chose music because I didn't think IT classes were worth it (and boy was I right). I'm now at 8th grade and I have no desire to have them. So last year all they did, and I mean ALL they did were three things: talk about hardware (very limited knowledge though, if you ask anyone two brands of CPU's they will make a blank face and say: "the teacher didn't tell us anything"), learn how to use something called "Animoto" (it's a online video producing service where you do animated video montages) and learn how to use "prezi" (it's a online tool to make animated power-point like presentations). That is it, no more, is that really IT? (I know some of you may be surprised they didn't talk about office, but they did this year). Yes, they got to know what hardware is and they can say some components but the "Animoto" and "prezi" part I don't think should be called IT. But it gets worse, this year, even though it's not over, it already has me trying to take my eyes out. So far this is what they have done: learn basic things about software (I mean BASIC things, basically only types of software like anti-virus, text processor...), do a project about Creative Commons (*facepalm*) and now they have to do a work about another school subject in MS Office. Again not really IT excluding the software part but there is a lot of crap taught about it, like the idea that you need a paid anti-virus and all others suck, but one thing that is really stupid and irony: one guy pirated (cc) a paid anti-virus (software BS) for Mac *facepalm*. I know that Macs have malware too (as does EVERY OS) but a paid anti-virus is too much, especially one that is pirated (much stupid very facepalm wow). Anyway, what do you think about IT classes nowadays, imo they're not good, too much BS, the teachers don't really teach much about tech, operating a program isn't IT, making the program is EDIT: fix typos

I'm currently a high school senior with little to no funds for online ventures, but I hope to find some reputable certification in my desired field. I thought that this would be a good place to ask, given that the vast majority of the forum-goers have undergone some kind of computer / IT related training. I know that most 'free' certs done really have any merit, but I still rather be completely sure that there is no free options out there. It isn't really necessary, entering my final year at high school, to have these certifications but I have some annoyingly extra free time during the summer that i'd like to fill. My field, generalized, is computer science and information technology; but im leaning more towards Computer System Analyst or Database Admin. Any help would be appreciated.

So, I have been thinking about this for a while and are wondering what you guys think. What if, instead of normal education format, you would pick what you wanted to be after 7th grade. So that people could be better prepared for the field that they will enter. Example: Kindergarden: Basics. Letters and numbers. 1st Grade: More advanced counting and spelling/writing. Basic addition/subtraction. 2nd Grade: More advanced addition/subtraction. Basic multiplication (times tables). More advanced spelling/writing. 3rd Grade: Advanced addition/subtraction. More advanced multiplication. Basic division. Basic essay writing skills developing. 4th Grade: Basic consumer math. Long division. Intro to algebra. Early essays. 5th Grade: Moving into algebra. Writing should expand. Good essay skills. Consumer math gets more advanced. American history begins. Basic Biology. 6th Grade: Geometry. Advanced algebra. Vocabulary skills should be fine tuned. Advanced American History. Basic Chemistry. 7th Grade: Very advanced algebra. Advanced geometry. Writing skills should be exemplary. Intro into each line of work. Very advanced world history. More detailed Chemistry and biology. Children pick the line of work they wish to enter. 13-18: Advanced training in job. Every necessary skill must be worked on (Like a bachelor's degree). Men and Women can enter workforce. 18-22: Advanced schooling in line of work. Must be accepted into one of the schools (much like graduate school now). This system would not waste valuable learning time on things students won't use. A garbage man will not use trigonometry. Therefore, it is a waste of time teaching them it. Skills more valuable to them can be taught in place of it. Students may switch out of line of work choice before they turn 15.

Summary Danish authorities bans the use of Chromebook in public schools, due to the potential risks of US authorities gathering data - in conflict with EU data protection laws. Quotes My thoughts Its interesting to see a growing conflict between the tech giants, the spy agencies and the consumer/data protection laws. Removing Chromebook as a platform for schools is a major disruption. I also made me think of Linus' perils in getting a Chromebook for his kids for school. Sources https://politiken.dk/viden/art8882501/Lærere-står-med-»kæmpestort-problem«-Chromebooks-bliver-forbudt-på-danske-skoler Edit, found an English article as well. https://blog.simpleanalytics.com/denmark-bans-google-workspace-for-municipalities

History about me: After high school i got into a very good university to study electrical engineering, but just a couple months into the first semester i developed epilepsy. It and side effects from its medication completely ruined my life. My memory suffered and I couldn't do basic math calculations. I failed every single course. So i took a break from studying and after a year of no significant improvement in health I decided to study something with less math and went with Environmental Sciences. After four semesters depression took over, started failing everything again. It has been six years since it all began and i want to continue my education. Since a lot of programmers come to this forum I thought i'd ask this here. I'm thinking of getting into web development. I have already learnt the basics of HTML and CSS from the internet (Codecademy and others) and i am getting the hang of it. I no longer want to get a full 4 years degree. So i wanted to know if a short 2-6 month course that teaches html, css, php, java script is good enough or should i consider a 2 year associates degree that teaches a little more. Thank you.

Where Modern Math relies on Axioms as building blocks/rules of more complex concepts? David Wang made gaming fun again imho; why not let's make education fun again? (Funny enough my maternal uncle's English name is David, and my Uncle David is usually a good-spirited guy too) Please not let the final answer be "because politicians are 'too set' in their ways..."

Hello all, I'm posting this topic here in the Off Topic section as I don't think this subject belongs in any other section. If I'm wrong, please move this thread to a more suitable section. Now, I've just graduated from an Engineering college specializing in Computer Science and Engineering. I say "just" but it has been nearly 7 months since then. I got selected by a software company called "Tech Mahindra" during my 7th semester (Oct 2016). I've been waiting for a joining date from them for the past 7 months and nothing substantial has come yet. From July 2017 to December 2017 I had turned my laptop into a hackintosh, brushed up my web development skills, learning new things like ReactJS, AngularJS, Laravel, Node and many other web development technologies (just the basics, I find Traversy Media in youtube to be the best at this.) just to keep my mind off of the Tech Mahindra situation. In December, I received a mail from them stating that I'd be subject to an "assessment" to test my employ-ability. In January, I got a date for my assessment. On 31st I gave my assessment and it was easy enough for me. I had questions from RDBMS, Software Engineering, Programming Techniques and Java. I had to code in Java as well. It all went fine. Still, nothing regarding the joining was mentioned. I'm thinking of taking up certified courses from Microsoft and add to my resume. I'm thinking of moving on from Tech Mahindra in search of a job elsewhere. I'd like a pointer to what courses would be helpful to me. There are a couple of courses I'm interested in but don't know where to start.

I'm thinking about "going back to school", so to speak, because as time goes by I notice that my current job as a freelance translator is way too stressful and simply doesn't make me feel fulfilled. I've always had a passion for computers and I think I'd like to work with networking, especially Windows and Linux system administration, and I've been looking at CCNA certifications, which on paper sound interesting, but I also have a few questions about them. Does a CCNA course/manual cover Linux system administration, or "just" how to connect devices in a network and their inner workings? I already have some knowledge of Linux, but I'm not always able to troubleshoot things myself directly, so I need, more often than not, to look for solutions online. If it doesn't, what is a good Linux certification? Lastly, is it worth getting any certification in this field if you don't have a bachelor or master's degree in a related field? I already invested quite a bit in my linguistics degree and I don't have the resources, nor the time to commit to a new degree in computer science or engineering. I'd be grateful if someone who already works in the field could share his knowledge with me.
