@Ramhound I find that most of the worst of the worst cannot do what it wants to do without ActiveX IMO the worlds biggest vulnerability to "run programs" on the computer itself, not to just "display web garbage". The old maxthon browser can have that off normally and when any page is re-opened, and it requires the user to manually releace the dogs on the site if they deem it to be a trusted site. Because they at least have the sence to not trust things implicidly
And have to actually push the button to releace the evil on the site. it stays pretty safe.
After all the blocking, when i turn that off, or use something that does not support all the blocking, I go on the web RAW, and it is like OMG what have they done to the web :-) How can anyone even think this is fun anymore.
Without all the blocking , that lots of people employ, it is like walking in a minefeild with Advertisements pointing where to step . . . on the mines .
@allquixotic Have you come up with a good NLE video editing app? Adobe Premiere is annoying, as is blender. My linux install is broken at the moment, but that would get me back to using kdenlive which I was fairly happy with.
I am having one major brain fart. What it called when a program like Firefox is unable to escape its own memory space? It might be because I have been up for way to long...
cramming some school material. Chrome has a built-in PDF view but its safe because it can't escape the address space its assigned to. There is a Windows program that will do that with any program. But I having a huge brain fart and can't even remember what that security feature its called
a router generally has an interface for setting of network properties if you connect your browser to its IP address. I don't have a router, does this mean it's impossible to do any settings management? I did hear you can send serial data to it as instructions, but I can't find any tools to do that, or the instruction set it my arris uses.
Actually I'm not sure those would be the same kind of settings as in a router. Maybe I can change router-like settings in my TL-WN722N running in AP mode (which i set using netsh)
@AnnonomusPerson unless you're overclocking or your ambient environment (house) is consistently very hot, you probably don't need a custom CPU cooler. just saying
@Paul "video editing" is too vague; depends on what specifically you're doing with your video. but I use Sony Vegas Pro
@AnnonomusPerson if you're going to lay out money for a custom cooler, I'd look at liquid if I were you; heatsinks are relatively less effective and take up a lot of room; personally noise is not an issue for me so I'd rather have many high velocity fans than a big heatsink, but liquid cooling is still best
I have had loud AMD fans and quiet AMD fans. I have had loud Intel fabs and quiet Itel fans.
Which does not help except to point out that there is no generic, always correct answer
The stock cooling for my i920 was nice and quiet. The after market cooler made even less noise (a nehalems cooler. 800 grams of metal and a large, slow turning fan)
I got it with the idea to OC when the current system got slow (basically the same idea as you have). But now, 5 years after buying the desktop, it is still fast enough.
Maybe I will OC from 2.6GHz to 4.0GHz in a few years.
On the other hand, depeing on what you do with video editing more RAM, faster RAM or fast disk IO might help a lot more than a fast CPU.
And a PC is only as quite as its loudest part (ok, that is not 100% true).
But a hyper silent fan next to a load GPU fan will not help you as much as you might hope

hello peoples! Would anyone be able to recommend me the most comfortable, most affordable and most practical keyboard known to this planet?
What do you use for your keyboard? I want to avoid mechanical keyboards, as I'm not convinced I can maintain the same level of typing performance with one of those....
just realised there's only one other person here...
The initial problem was that I couldn't log on, because it told me no domain controller was available. Which is understandable, because the installation didn't have any drivers for the network adapter in the new system
Later I found out that the real problem seemed to be that the system drive got the drive letter D: assigned and nothing matched up
Didn't get around to fix it. We chose to just make a fresh install
Struck me as an interesting issue though
@Ramhound I tried EaseUS Partition Master, which has a migration mode like that, but that was a disappointment
@Ramhound After the migration process on my work desktop, it had created a 25 GB partition for the previously 100 MB Windows reserved partition. And the system wouldn't boot as a bonus :P
Their tool doesn't do it for you but its much easier.
@OliverSalzburg - Sounds fun
The only thing you have to be careful about either program I point out. If you were on a BIOS/MBR you have to force the disk into UEFI mode otherwise it won't migrated the image to GPT.
I figured out how to force that to happen a year after my system build was finished
@Ramhound Someone on here suggested to use DRBL Live, which worked great and felt a lot better to use. Didn't help me with the clients machine though :P
@allquixotic If I buy a Windows 8 off Amazon, I can install that and upgrade to 8.1 just fine, right? Because that's another question that came up recently
Buying an 8.1 licence off Amazon seemed to be like 50 € more expensive and I didn't understand that
