I work from home. This is my home Internet speed.

I always read the supported RAM documentation from the motherboard manufacturer who's board I am using. Once I have access to that I then choose what I feel will be best for my system. After doing some research I found that double sided or dual rank RAM is slightly faster than single sided RAM...

I use the free version of CCleaner. If it hits the fan hard or my PC is slow I always reach for TronScript.

I had an odd instance where that happened to me. I took a look at event logs and they were not very informative for due to massive noise on the Internet. Doing a simple reboot solved the problem. I would test the following: 1) Run Explorer on the command line. 2) Download and run smarmontools...

The only problem I have with AIO cooling is that the motor dies around the two year mark regardless of which manufacturer I choose. When it dies I have to replace it and I really don't want to replace any part that often. I have since moved to a new system and now use a Noctua cooler. I swapped...

I have Quake II from GoG. The RTX mod runs pretty good on with my RTX 2080 Ti and AMD Threadripper 2950x.

I often feel the same way.

That is always my last step. My second to last step is to back everything up and create a restore point. You may need to ensure that PXE boot support is enabled in UEFI and that your USB-C adapter also supports PXE. Dell has an article on this.

I have had poor results using DDU and uninstall my drivers manually as shown in this article. Note that you should remove the NVIDIA folder on your C drive before performing the procedure or the old driver will be installed again.

Still relevant.

The PC version came out in 1999 and has multiple tracks to race. Your pod can be destroyed. The arcade version came out in 2000, has only four tracks to race, and your pod is indestructible. I've played them both. The only real difference is that you can upgrade your pod on the PC.

When I worked at RealNetworks they took Halloween very seriously. Every floor was given a budget to decorate and every floor had a committee that you could volunteer for that decided on their own theme. When I started in 2008 one of the floors had a Tokyo disaster theme. They had a conference...

I've been in the streaming media industry for eleven years and cut my teeth on the RTSP protocol when I worked at RealNetworks [BUFFERING!!!]. I became their onsite encoding expert after I was tasked with finding an encoder that didn't create A/V drift like their former Helix Producer product...

I store my files on a separate FreeNAS box and move them there via WinSCP. Yes, I do have a SMB share but it is read only (different permissions between the WinSCP user and my Windows user) to make it tough for people to screw with. The ZFS file system that is the default for FreeNAS rocks my...

Edited signature with link to full build on PC Part Picker.

Yes, I did have problems with RAM height. The cooling unit fit, however the fans had to be raised a bit to get proper cooling. I did not add the coolers to the RAM. The image below should show tolerances.

I retired my ancient Intel Core-i7 3770K and moved to an AMD Threadripper 2950x. I used the DDR4-2666 version in my build. It looks pretty good and performs really well.

It's too hot (hot patch).

Self surgery. No doctor required.

Thank you for the info. I had a rectal cranial inversion happen while I was posting my original question, but I sorted it out. I looked at this post for the the then new Ryzen CPUs. https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2017/03/13/amd-ryzen-community-update This is what gave me the...

Because I encode a ton of video, sometimes using Sony Vegas with the Neat Video plugin but more often via FFmpeg, I decided that I needed to replace my six year old Core-i7 3770k (overclocked to 4.2Ghs at stock voltage) and get an AMD Threadripper. I chose the 2950X as Windows has scheduling...

I just assembled a new PC and have the 2TB 970 EVO in it.

Ripley is not impressed.

You see, instead, I am going to organize... a special, blue-ribbon fact-finding commission... made up of myself and, uh, Miss Betty Childs, and we will get to the bottom of this dastardly deed. - Stan Gable in Revenge of the Nerds

AMD appears to be using their chiplet design in Zen 2. https://www.anandtech.com/show/13560/amd-unveils-chiplet-design-approach-7nm-zen-2-cores-meets-14-nm-io-die Details on chiplets can be found over at IEEE...

The car was built by the manufacturing firm Kalashnikov which also created the AK-47 military assault rifle. I wonder if it is manual or fully automatic.

It is possible to opt out of the test. https://www.netflix.com/DoNotTest

I had signed up for an Instagram account years ago and, as always, use a stupid hard password. I have had sixteen e-mail notifications since December 5th, 2017 with "we've made it easy to get back on Instagram" in the subject line.

While those are great benchmarks for encoding, I am obviously disappointed in the encoding performance for the 2990WX. I encode all of my content using FFmpeg which sadly can be tricky for many people to use, but it does saturate all eight cores on my Intel Core i7-3770k. Fortunately I have ten...

Once I started using Notepad++ I never looked back.

I'm confused. The NDA posted at Heise Online doesn't look evil. What is it that I am missing? https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/In-eigener-Sache-Nvidia-NDA-als-Maulkorb-fuer-Journalisten-4091751.html?view=zoom;zoom=1

It sounds like Nvidia discovered FFmpeg's minterpolate function. Example here: http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/How%20to%20speed%20up%20/%20slow%20down%20a%20video Documentation here: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#minterpolate

She kicks high.

My first car was a 1969 Dodge Dart GT with a 225 slant 6. It had a white paint job with a either a gold/tan or faded white interior. Nice car but no power.

Good. I can finally remove that tag from my mattress.

I chalk it up to the Streisand effect.

This lawsuit makes me think of what is on this page http://www.kevincraig.us/antitrust.htm On this subject I am reminded of a joke that Walter Block gave in this [MP3] fun interview hosted by Scott Horton. He originally gave this joke to a bunch of anti-trust lawyers and economists. . . First...
