If you want to run your own, and you're familiar with the toolsets, try Digital Ocean (Simple Cloud Infrastructure for Developers | DigitalOcean). $5/month gets you a Linux box that will run pretty much anything simple you'd want to run and you have full control over it. I run two VPS there and...

Speaking of shitty 1366x768 screens, anyone know a way to reduce the scaling below 100% in Windows 10 so that I can at least make some decent use of that tiny screen? I have an Alienware M11xR3 and nothing better to do with it at this point than use it for work/courses. I found a registry hack...

Paige's heel turn reminded me of why I stopped watching WWE for years. It was so bad, I wasn't sure if Ric Flair would burst out laughing. That's some WCW Thunder mid-card quality mic skills there.

Holy shit, that pop for Jericho. Nearly 20 years later and the guy still delivers.

Gotta love it. People turn automatic updates on, and are angry/concerned when an update is downloaded. It's an update, like any other. It's just a huge update. I seem to remember the same "warning" about Windows 7's larger updates.

Guys, just go look in the Event Viewer. Your crash codes will be in an event in the System log, unless the system was unable to write to the log, which is fairly rare.

I don't want a 6S. I have a 6 Plus and I'm ho-humming at the specs on the 6S Plus at this point. Better camera. Okay, fine, that's a good thing, but the 6 Plus camera is fine. 3D Touch? Nothing supports it yet and no major app will leave everyone but 6S users in the dust. That's just not smart...

Yep, give us the details, please. STOP error code for sure, more if you have it.

If anyone's interested, this thing apparently tests for all of the currently known Windows 10 "spyware" features, and allows you to block them with one click. Spybot Anti-Beacon for Windows 10

This. You can have all the talent in the world at your disposal, but if you can't bring them together, they will likely work in spite of each other and you'll sink.

Well, you know what? I'll have to do a 180 here. Unlike most of the people I see entering IT out of school, you seem to have a head on your shoulders. Buzzwords aside (there's a time and place, in my opinion), I appreciate what I'm reading here. Part of the reason I'm sounding so cynical ITT...

I'm waiting for the part of this that was actually IT work. All I see is project management and general management, and a whole lot of buzzwords. I'm fairly sure that some of those would make my management blush, and that's not an easy feat given that I'm in Government. I mean, I was going to...

You still need to write your key down for future use. It'll only work on that PC, but you still need to know what it is. There are a bunch of ways of finding the key. I think some were mentioned earlier in this thread, or there's Magic Jellybean, or there are a bunch of scripts that'll do it.

I could go on (and on, and on, and on) about this, but I'll just put it this way: That is not my experience, with any computer I've run it on, at all, and I've run it on 5 or 6 now, from low to high end and everywhere in between. In short, I think you're mistaken. Also, wait, you keep...

This is supposed to be 10 years after Voyager returned. So he got promoted, apparently. No idea how canon this whole thing is, though.

For the record, I run 3x eVGA 780. Sounds like they busted backward compatibility support at some point, yep.

Agreed, Corin Nemec was bad in Stargate. I wasn't expecting much of anything, and look, I got what I was expecting.

I am running 3x SLI with 353.62 in Windows 10 without issue. The only driver I had an issue with was the non-WHQL release during Tech Preview, and that was more a 3D Surround issue than an SLI issue. No BSODs at all, though.

Okay, one IT guy to another: What makes you think you know, well, anything at all about IT as a whole after 2.5 years of working in this field? I mean, I'm still learning, and I've been in the field for 20 years, so I'm curious as to what you think you have to offer us all. Keep in mind that...

My reply wasn't for your benefit. You clearly don't give a shit, and you made that clear before I posted. My reply was to Agraza, and was also for other people who might be wondering why it may not work. I clearly mentioned that I don't use these apps and don't care if they don't work for me. If...

It gets better, but the whole thing is peppered with those kinds of lines. Honestly, I think it adds a bit of a reminder that this wasn't a professional project. If you're expecting another Paramount movie, yeah, you won't get far. With the drivel we get out of Hollywood these days, I found...

Should be something in your BIOS to turn off the USB ports when the power is off. They are usually on by default (for charging accessories when you plug them in without powering the PC, or whatever). Alternatively, this usually only applies to certain USB ports. You could mess around with...

Yeah, I've seen this. I also don't use either, so it may just be that the problem is irrelevant to me and that's why I'm not bothering to try to fix it. The calculator won't open for me anymore, though, and I know why: "Activation of app Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1508.14010.0_x64__8...

I must be the only one around here that isn't having a problem with 10 at all. Oh well!

This is surprisingly good given what it is. And yeah, they got a really decent set of actors. Very impressed.

Oh my god, that's just WRONG. Curds all the way. I'm pretty sure you'd get shot in Qu?bec for trying that, and getting shot takes some doing up here.

Cesaro's getting better on the mic, at least. I bust a gut laughing every time he does his "on, and on, and on... and on, and on, and on, and on..." thing. Granted, half of the deal there is Seth Rollins' reaction.

Damnit, I missed the Dudleys when I was skipping through shit I didn't care about. Holy shit, I haven't heard a pop that loud in years.

Wow. Stephen Amell put on a really decent show, didn't he? Wonder how much coaching he needed beforehand.

I can tell you how to do this off the top of my head. 1. Open regedit. 2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. 3. Change "AutoAdminLogon" to 1. 4. Change "DefaultUserName" to your user name. 5. Create a new REG_SZ (string value) and name is...

Might as well be. And yes, ICP held the tag titles briefly.

What the hell was that ending? Reminded me of old WCW writing.

Not sure. I don't really watch much sports these days. CBC/HNiC still works, that much I know. Maybe I'll try tomorrow.

I use:Unblock-Us - smarter faster VPN It's DNS based. It works well, rarely had a problem, and when I do, it's because something has changed on the US side and Unblock-Us needs to catch up. I put their DNS on my router and everything in the house can use it, including any device I VPN home...

It is indeed a capitalist (not socialist) Canadian thing. We can't access most content up here without a subscription to either cable or satellite, which is why I VPN to the States for my TV. Win-win, since most Canadian TV is garbage anyway.

That explains it. It's a Jewish laptop. Our community is very small. We know EVERYTHING about each other.

Fuck. We've lost another one. I wouldn't go back to Bell if they paid me, not even for those kinds of speeds. Forget it. It isn't worth spending the rest of my life bent over.

If you have a hardon for a 13" laptop, does that mean you'll be joining Jared in jail shortly? What, too soon?

If you don't want to bother messing with your Surface, there is a version of Kali for ras pi. Cheap way to check it out without blowing up something you're already using (if that's the case).
