I have the family pretty standardized across the board with Surface Pro 7's and their weird proprietary docks (we run several businesses from our home so this has been great for me tbh!) Well, it was inevitable, yesterday someone clicked on the windows 11 update and unfortunately it did not go...

Apparently my phone is no longer going to be supported by AT&T at the end of Next month and I will need a newer phone to continue receiving service. Since I don't follow phones I thought I would come here and ask. My current phone is a CAT S61 and really liked it. It still does everything I...

Well it's been a great device, but my P51(sig) needs to be replaced. At about 4 years old, it's really had a good run. My use case has changed and I rarely use Solidworks anymore and I don't really feel the need for a quadro. I do however use several VM's on a nearly daily basis and I am...

They are fantastically expensive, ~$4k a pop. Anyone feel it made a difference on their resume? Was thinking of starting with RHCSA, the baseline sys admin cert. I have RHCT, but that is a really old cert at this point. I also find it interesting the LPIC1 and Linux+ certs are the same now.

I have had it on my laptop (RHEL certified for 7.4 I believe) but everything works pretty well so far. GPU was only a slight pain to install. Docking station and Thunderbolt both work without having to fiddle with it. RPM fusion has not been updated for it yet, so manually installing or...

Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 released a few days ago for people on the insider fast track. Anyone else tried it yet? It's awesome to have an actual kernel, although it's 4.19 :( I have ubuntu on my laptop installed on wsl 2 I converted and it works pretty good, although they broke x11...

https://shadow.tech/usen I have been messing with it for a while now and it seems to be working fantastic for me. You get 8 Xeon cores, 12gb of ram, and either a 1080 or P5000 card dedicated to your system. Solidworks seems to run well for my needs and games play just like it was on my...

I picked this phone up based on this forums recommendation and it was fantastic for a good while. It's an S7 Active. What it is doing: Extremely sluggish. Sometimes you swipe right to unlock the phone and it will just have a pop up that says "System UI has crashed" Often...

I have been looking into a tablet I can use for light work/notes/document editing and I read that there are windows tablets being released with the Snapdragon cpu's. They are about to release (August time frame) a Snapdragon 850 designed exclusively for laptop use that will be functionally...

Anyone ever do this? I was thinking about picking up a Chromebook but I wanted to see if it would be worth my time. I don't really use google docs/etc but I know you can get Microsoft word/outlook in the android store. Just curious.

I needed a linux ISO for a work project and popped over to distrowatch. I cannot believe both how fast the order has changed, and how many more people are downloading the iso's. Manjaro is #1? I expected it to continue to climb, but #1 seems crazy to me. It's still arch linux which is a...

Sorry for the shitty title, I am exhausted. So as the title said, I have really shitty instructors. Last semester I spent some time on Pluralsight doing Java lessons because that is what my into to programming course taught. I went about 20 hours into the course lectures on Pluralsight in...

I was looking at turning this desktop into Server 2016 when I got my new workstation, but I am looking at Amahi and it reminds me a lot of Windows Home Server, which they killed in 2009 ish. Anyone have it running on hardware? Looking for something that will host VM's as well as the normal...

Lets compare sources and get a list going. Here is mine so far, give or take coffee. Add to the list for everyone. https://www.yobi3d.com/ https://www.cgtrader.com/ https://www.youmagine.com/ https://3d.si.edu/ https://grabcad.com/library https://www.myminifactory.com/...

Since I am on campus 12 or more hours in or between classes on several days I was thinking seriously about replacing one of my desktops with a desktop replacement laptop I can take to class. When I used to travel 200+ days a year I had a dell laptop which had a docking station I could keep in...

My current system is a 6800k, 48gb ram, gtx970, MSI Pro Carbon. My primary use of this machine is pushing VM's that I do my homework in (coding, writing papers, things that I don't want fucking up my OS....) as well as AutoCAD with about 5% or so gaming and media. Currently dual booting...

About a month ago I had a Zalman case that bugged out on me. By bugged out, I mean the top panel with the fan controller, usb ports, and temp readout had problems and started flickering, fans died, and one day when I came home one of the fan controllers had started melting... It was all one...

Samsung spin 7 notebook running windows 10 pro. It's my school laptop. Dual boots 10 pro and openSUSE on separate SSD's. It has received a slew of updates these past few days and now any time I shutdown or let it go into hibernation on windows side, the BT disables. The only way to get it...

So I am a little hard on my phones. I have typically stayed with the cheaper phones because of this but I think it's just me doing something wrong. I have gone through 7 phones in 2 years. Most recently one fell out of my pocket and into a hot tub I was working on. Lost one when it fell off...

I have not folded in a while but now that I am living in a place that has cheap electricity and AC I started again. My 970 is putting out like 200k+ ppd. That seems crazy to me. I don't remember video cards putting out those kinds of numbers before. Did they change the numbers you get from...

So this thread is mostly going to be a carbon copy of this thread. I am giving most of my sig rig to my brother because he needs a computer and I am running into limitations with it. Or at least I have the upgrade itch and am using that to justify upgrading to myself hehe. 1) What will you...

I used to have this old sound card. Creative X-Fi Platinum 7.1 with the 5.25 expansion bay that had midi inputs and such. I really only used it for ripping vhs and cassette tape audio which is kinda lame but my little brother (well he's 27 now haha) is into audio. He plays guitar and that...

Many of my classes are forcing me to use windows and I cannot get the scaling to work across many of the programs. Firefox scales pretty well. Much better than chrome. But this is ridiculous. Trying to read the text in packet tracer or VMWare you basically need to use the Magnifier under...

Bringing this to you guys for your eye's and opinions. I need a laptop for my dad as his finally died. He's a business professional and college professor and uses it exclusively for this purpose. I am looking for a < $500 laptop of ~15" variety. I would prefer Amazon.com but will consider...

About 6? or so months ago I decided to install windows 7 on another drive (SSD) that way if I wanted to play one of my games on the computer that didn't run well on linux I could. Linux mint 17 is still my primary OS and daily driver and the only way to get to windows is to force it to...

As the title says I am experiencing a large 1-3 second delay for audio over blue tooth only. Specifically watching netflix. It may have been occurring during Pandora playback and I had not noticed. No delay at all over speakers. Soundbot BT dongle and cheap wireless BT headset. I tried...

I just purchased two of these for $743 after tax and shipping. I want to use them as monitors and it keeps me from buying a tv tuner card lol. They don't seem to be bad monitors for the money. Anyone else purchased one yet? Like/dislike? Am I going to regret this?

I have my background setup with dual 1080 monitors and a 3840x1080 wallpaper setup for Span. Every so often Windows 10 gets it in its head to switch back to the default of stretch and changes the picture back to the default one. Anyone have any idea why and how I can fix it?

So my digital hoarding has been catching up with me. I used to have a home server running microsoft home server 2011 that I really liked but it seems microsoft has discontinued it. As I come closer to placing my 8th and 9th HDD drive in my PC I find myself quickly in need of a server storage...

So basically this is almost a carbon copy of this thread. I did build the rig Dangman suggested and it worked pretty damn well for my needs. Long story short I have a buddy that is dying and has been a gamer his whole life. He had lost his computer and I ended up giving him mine and went back...

First off, lets get the 10 out of the way 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Light gaming: Rift MMO currently, but most of my games are not that GPU intensive, but can be very CPU intensive like Civ V, Sup Com:FA, Sins of a solar empire series...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129193 I am planning out a build and came across this. It's more power supply than I need but about the price I was going to pay for a good case and PS anyway. It seems to be some form of this power supply. Just not in ATX form...

As the title says, my 6 year old Niece broke (shattered) the screen on my nexus 7 (original 16gb version.) It still turns on and displays, but only half the screen responds to touch. Is it repairable or am I buying a new one?

I gave away my sig rig a few weeks ago and have been pretty much living on my laptop. I had not folded in about a year or so. Anyway, the new folding setup is waaay different than I am used to. It seemed pretty simple, but lacked all the config options like -configonly and -smp etc etc and is...

I am going to be giving my sig rig away here soon to a friend that is getting divorced and lost his computer and basically living on my laptop. The problem I am running into is I am a data whore. I have 4 3tb drives full of movies, tv shows, etc and that is the majority of my pc use now a...

So I lost my phone for about 11 weeks. I didn't even know my phone was missing for about 10 of those weeks. I had been holding out fort he new blackberry phone for sprint, but now I think I should just get a pay as you go phone. I very rarely use the internet on my phone. I never use phone...

I have an LG BR drive in my computer that I use to watch and rip blue rays and I have used it for years with no problems. I put the computer in storage for about 6 months and now that I have it out, cleaned it's working fine. Except now, the drive hangs up when I put a BR disc in it. The...

I don't really know how to state the title so sorry if it's not what you were expecting or if this is the wrong sub forum. I just got my computer back after a moving company had it for the better part of 7 months. When I opened it up to make sure nothing had come loose, especially hoses...

When I connect my monitor directly to my laptop via HDMI I get this.. However if I connect the monitor using the same cable to my docking station, it's crystal clear.... It's driving me crazy, because I can use that exact same cable and connect to my TV and it's also crystal clear...

I need help picking a phone. Just like the title says, my phone is upgradable in 46 days. I currently have a BB Style 9670. A phone I hate beyond anything expressible on a forum. I rarely use internet on my phone, like once a week ish, and even then just briefly. I do tether my phone to...
