No idea really... A quick Google found me this: http://www.ghacks.net/2015/08/14/comparison-of-windows-10-privacy-tools/ I didn't realize there were so many.

Well, I'll tell you what... If people can't understand my writing with it because of the hard G in puts in all my writing instead of an R I will send it to ddrueding so his wife and/or MiL can use it. ;)

I've put 10 on a few PCs. Using Classic Shell to lose the goofy start menu & DoNoSpy10 to disable the stuff MS doesn't give you controls for during installation I don't have a ton of concern. It's fast, and the new file copy progress bar, as well as the trick task manager are way better than...

Unless you plan to go Linux you're going to end up with Windows 10 sooner or later. Why not get it when it's free?

The Natex ones (4 matching DIMMs) are supposed to arrive today. I guess I could get another 4 DIMMs from Natex and use those 8 matching DIMMs in the S2600CP2J and keep 4 of the 7 good VLP DIMMs for my X9SRA.

The 8th DIMM arrived today. But of course it doesn't work. The S2600CP2J flags it as bad and lights up an orange LED next to whatever slot it is in. The X9SRA won't boot with it. *sigh* Now I don't know what to do. I don't really want to wait another 2 weeks shipping it back and getting...

I will use it at home. It was pretty much just an impulse buy. I didn't really do any research. The fancy RGB LEDs lured me in.

I'm pretty sure it's an r. Seeing as I don't hunt and peck type I think it'll be okay.

It is super cheesy, but I just couldn't help myself. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RAZER-Blackwidow-Chroma-RGB-Gaming-Mechanical-Keyboard/301912095222? I Used the $25 off $125 coupon eBay has going through 7PM PST tonight (CSPRING25OFF125) to drop it to $102.99 shipped.

At the very least he could have used one of the Arduino toaster oven "hacks" out there. http://www.instructables.com/id/Hack-a-Toaster-Oven-for-Reflow-Soldering/

Stories like this are why I quit buying Zotac hardware (not that I ever bought much of it). They don't even list old products on their website anymore so you can download drivers, manuals, and the like. You could always bake it Linus style.

DeltaE is a measure of perceptual color accuracy. It has nothing to do with color space or uniformity. sRGB is a fine color space for most computer use because that's what all software assumes you're using. A WGG monitor is a big pain to use unless it has multiple HW color space presets. You...

Too bad he's wrong.

Well, it's still better than District 9.

Buy through Costco then. No haggling. You get a pretty good price and don't have to negotiate.

I opened it today. It has a HUH728080ALE601 in it just like the one PC Perspective bought.

One last benchmark. My IOmeter pattern that mimics ATTO. It reads and writes for 330 second for each test which translates to about 66gB of data at 200MB/sec.

Scroll up a few posts and see if you can figure it out.

No, it's not a SMR drive. It should be a relabeled HGST Helium Ultrastar He8 inside the shell.

The WD My Book 8TB I got from BB does this over USB 3.0. AFAIK, it has to be a 7200 RPM drive to bench like this. I'll open it up later after I "beat" on it a bit.

They're tracking you...

There are other reports of people getting a WD80EZZX in their 8TB My Book units. Which according to the information out there is a HGST He8 running at 5400RPM instead of 7200RPM. I haven't made it to Best Buy to pick up my drive yet. I'm stuck at work waiting for a DHL delivery. Either drive...

So you really don't like car dealers then?

Google has been reading your many incoherent & incomprehensible posts and drew the only logical conclusion. :rofl:

The same as Amazon. $249.99 + tax. I paid more for some of the 6TB Enterprise Toshibas I bought (they lowered the price partway through my buying). Of course the 6TB Toshibas do have a 5 year warranty. This effectively won't have one. Had I not built my big array already I'd be tempted to...

It looks like natex did ship my RAM yesterday. There is a package in the hands of FedEx. I decided to roll the dice and have one ready for pick-up at the closest BB with one. One is enough since I'm not looking to make another big RAID array with a bunch of drives... Just a large drive to...

Anyone tried these? I picked up a five pack of the 3', 7', 10', and 14' CAT6A cables last week and got them today. I'm impressed by the thinness and flexibility of them. I don't know why this sort of product is only just now coming on the market. I plan to use them to replace the standard...

You need to invest in luggage with wheels. :p I also try to avoid situations where I need to tip people. Restaurants I can deal with, but bellhops and the like no thanks, leave me alone.

I haven't put the dual processor E5-2670 into the basement yet. It has a clean install of Windows 10 on it now. I need to get AVIsynth and other relevant software on it so I can see how it works with what I built it for. I haven't noticed the noise from my new NAS (in the basement) on the...

I just hope your mini cluster of dual processor E5-2670 systems don't become self aware and try to kill you. This could be the universe's way of trying to stop you before it's too late. :rofl:

My other TY-147A fan ran even slower. Tuns out what I thought were 2 more TY-147A fans were actually TY-140 fans. Same basic fan with less PWM adjustable RPM range and a different bearing. So it spins about 2x as fast (~565RPM) at idle which is just fine. I popped it on, closed up the case...

I initiated a return for the other 3 DIMMs of RAM, and the seller accepted. I ordered four of the $16 8gB Hynix PC3-12800R sticks natex.us is selling. I guess I will be fan swapping tonight to see if I can find one that runs a little faster. I bought a small inexpensive DC/DC step-up...

Do you actually wear a ground strap and work on an ESD mat? I don't. I do keep the system plugged, but switch off at the power supply. I tried to keep one hand on the case as much as possible so that I'm ground to it, and I touch the case to get grounded before touching things if I get up and...

Same here. "nick"

I got a beta / test BIOS from Supermicro that lets the fans run down to 300RPM instead of freaking out at 700RPM. It requires a drop below 300RPM to go full throttle. Unfortunately, the fan on my CPU, a Thermalright TY-147A, runs around 300-320RPM at idle, and will intermittently drop below...

Sorry to hear about your continued troubles. Try to keep the power supply though. :mrgrn: I did a clean Windows 10 install tonight on mine. I also messed around to see if I could stop the fan stupidity at power on. That didn't go anywhere. It looks like the Emulex Pilot 3 drivers tell the...

I just wanted to post that this Server/NAS rocks! :D Editing the commercials from my recording OTA HDTV is awesome. It reads and opens a recording in maybe 15 seconds tops from the 1TB Samsung 850 EVO. I had a SSD for my recordings in the old server, but it wasn't like this. The old system...

The other seller says they shipped me out an identical DIMM to the one I returned and gave me a tracking number that doesn't work yet. I guess I will buy 4 of these from Natex for the other machine. I did the Windows 10 upgrade to the S2600CP2J yesterday. I used the Server 2012 graphics...

Well, I don't need to refinance. My interest rate is under 4%. I don't plan on moving anytime soon. Last, I don't foresee a need to ever finance a car in the future, but I suppose nothing is etched in stone.

I've used FastCopy before and it has worked okay. Nothing like my experience this time. It made a complete mess of things.

Maybe you guys are right about eBay... So I returned 1 DIMM each to each of the two sellers last week since I had one bad DIMM from each. USPS sat on them for 3 days, but eventually got them to their destinations. One seller said they would send me a out very very similar replacement (we...

Am I the only one who doesn't care about my credit score? I have no idea what it is. It's totally irrelevant to any part of my life.

I'm pretty sure if you close it you can't reopen it or open another, but I'm not 100% sure. Either way you should end up with a nice collection of spare parts. :p I've been going back and forth with Supermicro about my fan pumping issue on the LGA 2011 workstation . I do have the parts to...

So a Norco 4U chassis with 12 HDDs in it is quite heavy. I can only imagine what one with 24 HDDs is like. It draws around 200W sitting there. If I'm recalling correctly the power draw got up a little over 400W when it powers on (according to my P3 Killawatt). I think I have the RAID card...

I've seen people post screenshots of >1GB/sec transfers so it's definitely possible. It seems to work better with two Windows boxes, and not if one of them is Linux. I saw numbers as high as ~420MB/sec copying from my Windows XP x64 box today. Average was 300-400MB/sec for several hours until...

Well, you could have let it all go up in flames and then gotten major kudos for putting out the proverbial fire so quickly.

Well, the answer is yes. I now have an Intel X520-DA1 in one Windows XP x64 system and a Mellanox ConnectX-3 in a Windows 10 system with 3m of Cisco Twinax / DAC connecting them. I'm not getting 10Gbs between them during file transfers, but I suspect that has more to due with Windows XP x64's...

Been there done that. File and print sharing has similar issues if your PC thinks the network is Public.

So you can change the port the computer listens for RDP on in Windows 10, but you can't change the rules in the firewall for RDP to change the port. You have to create new rules... I don't think this is new to Windows 10, but if you went to the trouble to change the port for RDP in the...

I put the Intel X520-DA1 card in the XP x64 system, and the Mellanox ConnnectX-3 is in the new "server"/NAS. I used a 3m Cisco SPF+ DAC to connect them. I've started the data copy. It's not going as fast I'd hoped. XP x64's SMB and TCP/IP stack don't seem up to handling 10GbE all that well...
