@Ramhound what icon? superuser.com/search?q=windows+10+icon It dissapeared for many, and didnt mater for anyone :-) it was just a pavlov salivation inducer
"The process of this upgrade program is GWX.exe. I suggest that you try fire it up. Open C:\Windows\System32\GWX and run GWX.exe (try as administrator if that doesn't do the trick)." http://superuser.com/questions/946905/windows-10-icon-gone-missing?s=4|2.7432
There is this superuser.com/questions/922441/… which has a answer, and a bunch of people reporting results. People and microsoft indicating there is no one answer.

"Windows 10 Shares Your Wi-Fi With Contacts" krebsonsecurity.com/2015/07/… "This brilliant new feature, which Microsoft has dubbed Wi-Fi Sense, doesn’t share your WiFi network password per se — it shares an encrypted version of that password. But it does allow anyone in your Skype or Outlook or Hotmail contacts lists to waltz onto your Wi-Fi network " OOOOhh this is your big security flaw :-) so turn it off
OEMs of win10 pro selling for only $139 , but what if this time they really will not allow re-activation if i change my motherboard, not to mention all the times i changed enough general hardware to reach the hash limit just from adding drives, or swapping hardware for testing.
Which is my point. So what if your WiFi password is shared. You do it anyways yourself. Android and iPhone devices share it also. This feature also has to be specifically enabled. Additionally, you can change your password at any point, you can also change the SSID with optout and it will NEVER be shared.
"If you don’t want WiFi Sense to connect people to your open WiFi network or allow people to share access to your password-protected network, you can opt your network out of it by including _optout somewhere in the WiFi network name (also called the SSID)."

oh god it's been a while since I last managed a VPS... I didn't even know Fedora already migrated to DNF

I been looking over and over online for a compatible water block for a EVGA 04G-P4-2972-KR.
I preferably would like a water block from the following companies: EK, XSPC. Any other companies would be fine but not sure if the XSPC 670 blocks will work or not sense this card is longer then the block...
If what is and is not on topic, is changed, I will be the first to help somebody with that type of question. Until that happens I am going to vote to close questions that are not on topic.
Create a meta question. Highlight how helping people pick out specific hardware for them helps somebody 3 months, 6 months, and 18 months from now. The only way something like "what waterblock should I purchase" is going to be on topic is if the answer to that question in 18-24 months will still be helpful to the community. ( Stackexchange is about the answers not the questions ).
And how possibly does windows 10 upgrade icon missing help anyone in even 30 days :-) and tons of other stuff from 2009 that literally created the site and much of the rep for the best people here
In the way back machine at the start of this site, when it was in major growth, the allowable questions were by todays standards negtive downvotes, but they have like 200+ upvotes.
(and much of it has been removed based on new standards)
I do not dissagree with the assement that it is specificly and explicitly off topic, and would freely admit it doesnt have a chance in hell here of ever being on topic :-)
@Boris_yo the expert of course, never tried the others, also there is at least one more manufature who makes the same style for a bit more money (dont know the name) I might have tried a different one as this one wore out, but kensington replaced the whole thing for a new one just because I wanted some repair parts.
a sandisk SSD sounds like such a great idea, as i have great luck and speed with thier sd card items. but it does not rate as highly yet as the samsings?
@Bob So did you do the firmware update? using a windows kind of program? when attached to internal sata?
Apparently its rated NAND lifetime is quite low :\
So, there are basically 5 options I'm considering:
* No SSD. Either wait a bit, or just install Win10 on the RAID 1 HDD. * Get the SanDisk Ultra II 480 GB (19nm TLC) for 225 AUD. * Get the SanDisk Plus 240 GB (MLC) for 99 AUD. Either cope with reduced space or upgrade in the future. * Get the Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB (V-NAND TLC) for ~250 AUD. * Get the Samsung 850 PRO 512 GB (MLC) for ~350 AUD.
the cooler thing about the samsung was they did thier own controller and it worked, at the same time others sandfarce was failing miserably (past tence)
It's hilarious that these companies ignore what everyone asks them to do. Now they're just completely out of touch with reality.
I'm very tempted to skip the Note 5 and continue onward with my Note 4 until there's a pressing need to upgrade to something like maybe the Moto phone AFTER the one they're releasing in Sept 15.
The 2016 Moto flagship will be more capable and better than the Note 4 in every way except for the pen. That may be the way forward since Moto is happy to continue offering Micro SD slots.
@DragonLord Maybe. what's the consequence of that?
As that what that is: it's a website that has a female voice moan your OS. They also have similar sites for your IP (although only IPv4) and your local weather
One of my teachers introduced that site to me back during my college days
Generally, if a message is NSFW but not directly offensive, I'd prefer to tag it as such (in the message text) or ping a SU mod to edit it if it's too old.
Offensive flags should be used extremely sparingly because it's sent to all 10k+ users across the network, it's subjective, and it carries a 30min chat suspension where such a suspension is often not warranted.
Personally, I reserve such flags for direct attacks on other users.
@Bob The problem is nhinkle is a lot less active then he used to be.
(Sorry, I was working out)
The OP is not using fourth generation (Haswell). He's currently using second generation (Sandy Bridge). There's a huge difference in performance, especially per watt, between Sandy Bridge and fifth-generation Broadwell, far more than enough to make up for the slower clock speed. — DragonLord1 min ago
I am currently running an i3-2330M @ 2.2GHZ -- I was looking at 5th Gen Intel® Core™ i3-5010U processor. I understand obviously that the new one would be a 5th Gen and it's a 5010U which is obviously higher than a 2330M, BUT would the GHZ be higher?
I am just wanting to make sure that this la...
The i3-2330M is made on a 32nm process. The i3-5010U is made on a 14nm process. The newer fifth-generation part is likely to outperform the much older second-generation processor—even though type-U processors consume far less power than type-M processors! — DragonLord56 secs ago
Okay I'll list some basics. I want at minimum an i7 @ at least 3.5GHz. Also, it would be nice to have 4 RAM slots as well as 4 (or more) PCIe slots. This machine will be used for Video Editing so I would like a decent graphics card without going over $400.
(If there is a good graphics card BELOW that price, that'd be even better!)
I don't have extensive experience with those particular tools, but it could well be that you'll get better performance by spending more on GPU & RAM & fast storage, and sacrificing the CPU a bit.
Not sure anyone in this room does that kind of rendering, though.
If you need more storage, you might go for a combo SSD + HDD.
Maybe less RAM (2x8 for about $80 and expand later)
The CPU is previous-gen (Haswell), but Broadwell is more expensive and not that much better. I'm assuming you don't want to overclock.
Not too sure about the PSU and case; I just picked some random ones (Gold 80+, modular, highly rated, but otherwise nothing special about the PSU)
But, yea, that's approx what you can get for $1200
Keep in mind, though: CPU and motherboard are basically locked to this generation and must be upgraded together. RAM would also need to be replaced if you move to Skylake.
Storage, PSU, case and GPU can be moved on upgrade.
@allquixotic finally decided to do something about the server... using virt-builder but of course there's a bug and of course it was fixed in late 2014 but not in Deb Jessie
