@Rahul2001 You are too young to be told the answer to that :)
Tomorrow night, I will have the honor to photograph the CUNYAC Basketball Championship Finals (both men and women!) for my alma mater, College of Staten Island. This does mean I won't be around for much of the day tomorrow, primarily 5:30 pm to 11 pm EST (22:30 to 4:00 UTC), though I might be able to check in briefly during halftime or between games.
@bwDraco I freed up enough space on my SSD to make 45.5 GB of free space, 5% reserved space not included. I then checked and defragged my partition in a live session, bootet the normal system up, filled the freed space with data until only 100-something MB where left free, trimmed, and it took 36 seconds
@bwDraco I then deleted all the newly created files and trimmed again. This time, it only took 29 second
@bwDraco shouldn't the first trime have terminated pretty much instantly and the second one have taken 45.5 GB / write speed without having any pre-freed blocks?
This kind of photography is not something everybody gets a chance to do. I will most likely have baseline access, meaning I'll be on the court itself, shooting from behind the hoop. It's an honor to have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I'll be given the appropriate credentials from my employer.
@bwDraco funny thing is, if you do well, you will have more opportunities like it, instead of once in your lifetime
@Insane I think that's a power saving optimization where the ethernet controller can negotiate down to a lower speed when you're powered off or in Wake-on-LAN conditions (standby or hibernate too)
@allquixotic The big question is how long I'll still be with my college doing sports photography. I expect to move on by the end of the year. They love my work, though.
@bwDraco them liking your work is something to be proud of; also, money... now, even if you don't intend to become a permanent full-career photographer (which might not be financially viable), still enjoy the experience and have fun with the social and professional development aspects of being able to do something productive that you enjoy
@Rahul2001 I should mention I had a few PCs before that one that were technically "mine", and PCs even earlier than that that were shared among the entire family, but just didn't list them because I can't remember what their specs were, but the upgrade cycles were quite a bit longer then
though those items 1 and 2 were the only ones of that particular gender because before then I was more or less too young
Hardware: Core i7-4800MQ (4C/8T Haswell @ 2.7-3.7 GHz); GeForce GTX 780M (Kepler GK104 with 1536 CUDA cores in 8 SMXs) overclocked to 861-887 MHz core, 4GB GDDR5 overclocked to 5400 MHz effective.
...and I've run into some trouble running the game in DX12 mode. I'll have to change some settings...
For whatever reason, the NVIDIA graphics drivers are defaulting to the IGP, causing it to fail (this was hinted to in the error message the game generated). Trying again in a moment...
So I have 3 screens on this Windows machine. On every screen, there's a maximized Chrome window. When the right window gains focus and the previously focused window was not a Chrome window, the left Chrome window will become restored. This can be reproduced at will. The same happens when changing focus from the right window to another Chrome window
@OliverSalzburg get a borderless multi-monitor setup a single, huge, ultrawide 3440x1440 or higher main display and use Windows' built-in window placement feature to put two Chromes side by side? that's what I do :P
@bwDraco toss all your detail settings down to Low and try it - should be okay
@OliverSalzburg it almost sounds like some driver or plugin or shell extension is causing that to go wonky, because unless it's specific to having three windows, I can never repro that on my single ultrawide monitor setup
or it's related to the windows being maximized, specifically, and it's fine if the windows aren't maximized to take up one whole monitor
@OliverSalzburg if you have a good amount of RAM and a Windows <the Windows ver you're using> ISO sitting around (or DVD), fire up a VM (VBox or VMware) with that Windows, don't bother activating, install Chrome <ver you have>, and use 3 virtual monitors in multi-monitor mode and try to repro it
if no repro on vanilla Windows, it's some extension you have possibly
@bwDraco turn your detail down; even on Bob and I's GTX 1080 FEs, we hit serious GPU bottlenecking during normal play on maxed out settings (though, neither one of us is at 1080p... 3440x1440 for me and 4K for him)
@OliverSalzburg also try the excellent program DisplayFusion; get it in trial mode and see if it fixes it... it adds a shit-ton of window management code on top of the base Explorer shell, but in my experience it does a much better job of window management (with some added conveniences) than even Windows 10 b1607
@Burgi I think his most current issue right now is if @Rahul2001's gf find it and either gets jealous or doesn't like being itemized in a list, or both.
@Burgi a friend asked me jokingly one time, "huhuh, if you could tell your 17 year old self some advice and had only 4 words, what would you say?" and I answered, "don't let her go"
you can talk about "maybe give her a call and see if she is single now" but I don't believe in this type of thing happening in reality; makes a great song though
@ThatBrazilianGuy ? 52 weeks / 2 week dates = 26 women per year, 10 years, 260 women
did I get it wrong?
don't calculate # of weeks per year by 4 weeks per month; the 31st day on a bunch of months makes at least part of a 52nd week depending on leap year etc
Redid the charts so that the actual time (instead of the frame count) is used. This is done using a cumulative SUM function on the underlying spreadsheet.
@CaffeineAddiction he's not; he's just trying to get an accurate comparison and show how his 780M performs and show that a driver update improved it significantly
Okay, so it's 10:45am. I've spoken with everyone that was migrated to Windows 7 last night, and they are all working happily now. I'm supposed to be here until 5pm. WTF do I do for the rest of the day? :|
@bwDraco @allquixotic eh. don't worry about spikes on that game, honestly. as long as your average is over 15fps it's somewhat playable. over 30 is good. over 20 is... okayish.
I ran it on a gtx 760 & i7-2600 @ 1080p for a while
lagged with big armies but otherwise not too bad
there's really no point trying to achieve perfection. it's a heavy game, and proud of it
@MichaelFrank the Microsoft JVM hasn't been updated in years and AFAIK doesn't even exist after Windows XP; it got phased out with an update of IE 6 or something... it was designed to be able to run Java applets without installing Sun Java
on modern Windows there's no such thing as a Microsoft JVM
also Microsoft's Java only supported up to Java 1.1 or 1.2
@allquixotic I'm not really in a position to do that. I'm here in a different role, but ran into someone I worked with in the past and she had a question about some of the minimum specs that were on the learning module guidelines.

@Bob Again, this is an internal training site on a manage network. If Java doesn't exist the workstation is out of compliance and will be rehabilitated.
Ryzen 7 1700 (8C/16T Zen/Summit Ridge @ 3.0-3.7 GHz, 65W) overclocked to 4.05 GHz with 240mm CLLC.
The VRMs were the limiting factor on several motherboards, though; this was the case as well when Canard PC reported a single-core 5 GHz overclock a while back.
