Oh, and Lineage is just about ready to build ROMs.

Dec 25 '16 at 2:26, by bwDraco

My biggest concern is whether Lineage will be able to produce ROMs that don't require a wipe to migrate to from CM13.

Although experimental, they have a way to manage this, through an intermediate migration ROM. Fantastic.

Journeyman Geek

Eh. In this case, VTC, don't even bother flagging. This guy called me and BenN out on one of the metas

If in doubt, though, a free-text mod attention flag is generally okay; be sure to explain precisely what's going on so that it can be properly handled.

Ramhound

I do have a question:

-1

A: ISP cant block my website

Your ISP blocks port 80 Nothing you can do about this one. You could try calling them to remove the block, but you'll have to get past the level 1 "Can you try rebooting to resolve this problem?" drones and the level 2 "We're not allowed to do that" drones first. More ISP's than not will block...

How should I handle something that answer in the future. Do I explain that verbatim answers shouldn't be submitted but instead flag as a duplicate?

bwDraco

12:22 AM

@Ramhound For most users acting in good faith, it's okay to leave a comment. If it appears to be trolling, just flag.

Journeyman Geek

@Ramhound don't comment. There's nothing to be done. Downvotes are nice.

Ramhound

Irregardless of who submitted it

bwDraco

Don't comment if it's evident that the user is trolling.

I try to assume good faith and tend to err on the side of commenting.

It's a judgment call.

Ramhound

i can't tell if the answer is trolling or actually serious. I hate just voting if there is a chance to teach a user how to submit a better answer I look at some answer I was tough on and they significantly increase the quality of their answers

@bwDraco that is surprisingly well balanced, by the team of 2, and more natural for the different genders to , , , for your mom to be more unconditionally sheltering and permissive, and for the male role to be more expecting an adult to grow up in the real harsh world.

Tiger mother

Tiger mother (traditional Chinese: 虎媽; simplified Chinese: 虎妈; pinyin: hǔmā; Wade–Giles: hu³ma¹) is a term which refers to a strict or demanding mother who pushes her children to be successful academically by attaining high levels of scholastic and academic achievement, using methods regarded as typical of childrearing in East and Southeast Asia to the detriment of the child's social, physical, psychological and emotional well-being. The term is coined by Yale law professor Amy Chua in her memoir Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. == Characteristics == === Harsh regimen === Mothers who set up rules...

Leeches have been known to fall and attach on the eyeballs of hapless hikers. Where I'm from, if a leech attaches itself to you, you just spray it with alcohol and it will shrink and fall off.

@bwDraco juast my opinion, and everyone elses here I suspect, but the titans are a bit of a waste of money.

wat

...laptop.

so that improves from 15 frames in tf2 to 17 frames

@wat It's a gaming laptop with a GTX 780M. The GPU's showing its age so I'm trying to extract as much performance out of it as possible.

OK, makes sense if it is a gaming laptop.

It's just that my laptop is a Dell Latitude E6410. Overclocking that GPU would be a. impossible, and b. futile.

BTW should I upgrade from the 1280x800 screen to the 1440x900 screen?

bwDraco

Aug 18 '16 at 3:27, by bwDraco

My old laptop was replaced after it had trouble running games at medium settings at 1366x768 due to the extremely old and underpowered GPU (overclocking helped but did not make a huge difference).

I don't run games on my laptop because I physically can't

> 1 additional PCI-Express 6-pin power connector is needed.

You're short on PCIe aux power connectors. Are you using an adapter of some sort?

The PSU has no PCIe aux power, and 346W maximum load is awfully close to the PSU's 430W limit. I'm not too confident in the longevity of this build...

I know most PSUs will tolerate some degree of peak overload, but this looks like a cheapie model that might not be well behaved in such a situation.

It's by no means a bad supply, though, performing surprisingly well in JonnyGURU testing: jonnyguru.com/…

@wat Typically, upgrading just a laptop's screen can be tricky

Also, its not just about resolution

@JourneymanGeek I've removed the screen on this unit before. It's easy to replace, and some users on forums have successfully done it.

@bwDraco yes, 2 molex to one PCIe 6-pin.

@JourneymanGeek ?

Journeyman Geek

"some users on forums have successfully done it"

Ah, that's different

my R61 will take a better screen with a firmware hack, better inverter...

wat

This screen is LED backlit, no need for inverter

@bwDraco 80W of overhead is "close" now? I don't overclock.

@bwDraco That's part of the reason that I chose it.

My bad, the supply has one PCIe aux power connector, but your card needs two.

One of our clients raised a very fucked up issue. Apparently his "laptop loses network connectivity randomly"

Upon further investigation, it turns out, the connectivity is fine, he just gets weird error messages in regard to the availability of resources available on a network share

The problem appears randomly and disappears just as randomly

Other network shares hosted on the same server are accessible while the problem is in effect

Internet is fine as well. So it seems to be something specific to the share

Other users are not affected by the same issue

I am not on site and am expected to come up with a solution

DavidPostill

@Rahul2001 Faster

Oliver Salzburg

1:06 PM

That

The S in SSD stands for Speed. The same is correct for an HDD

DavidPostill

> Durability: An SSD has no moving parts, so it is more likely to keep your data safe in the event you drop your laptop bag or your system is shaken about by an earthquake while it's operating.

Oliver Salzburg

Audible noise can also be a factor

DavidPostill

> SSDs make virtually no noise at all, since they're non-mechanical.

> Overall: Hard drives win on price, capacity, and availability. SSDs work best if speed, ruggedness, form factor, noise, or fragmentation (technically part of speed) are important factors to you. If it weren't for the price and capacity issues, SSDs would be the hands-down winner.

@HackToHell Listen. I know nginx is supposed to be more efficient, advanced, modern, and just overall better. But I have no idea how it works, and when I tried to learn back in 2014 the documentation was sparse, confusing, all over the place, and oftentimes contraditory.

I'd rather use something less powerful, but better documented. Performance is not a key point here.

I want to forward http traffic, but also rewrite on-the-fly a single non-regex string on text files (html and js), and also local caching.

I have, in 15mins, found out (more or less) how to do that with Apache.

And I'm sure I can find help quicker on SO / SF / etc.

Alright

That Brazilian Guy

(On second thought, no, not on SF, fuck those guys)

HackToHell

SF ?
