@allquixotic so... my UPS works fine with the new PSU, at least at 200W load

it also reports more or less correct load values

so I now have no idea if the PFC affects it

sajad

hi a have a graphic question. nobody was on Graphic design chat rooms.

i want to know what should i search for this kind of pictures

Journeyman Geek

Yeah. Sure. Ask a random chat room...

sajad

@JourneymanGeek may you know that?

i have language problems. because my primary language is persian

Journeyman Geek

Eh. It's less a matter of language than etiquette.

sajad

what should i search?

Journeyman Geek

11:18

I mean, I could tell you to Google image search military.... But it's an utterly odd thing for a new person to say. It's a bit like brushing your teeth with floor cleaner because you're out of toothpaste.

Psycogeek

@sajad not sure you provided enough information yet. this search worked ok. google.com/… but saying army men :-) well google.com/…

sajad

@Psycogeek no i want to see edited photos in the photoshop

Journeyman Geek

@sajad really... Wrong room to ask.

@sajad what kind composits assembled in photoshop? special effects ? shots of fake moon landings :-) or some minor cloning or painting out of the stuff they dont want you to see?

Journeyman Geek

@sajad and I suggest spending a little time in a room before making.... Odd requests like that.

sajad

Journeyman Geek

11:23

@Bob pretty sweet.

Psycogeek

@sajad is it 3D model pictures? I did that one for my log-in pages, it has only computerised 3D modeled women in them.

sajad

i want to know what kind of effects are used for these kind of pictures

@Psycogeek you account picture?

Journeyman Geek

@sajad not really what we typically do here.

Psycogeek

@sajad the user log-in and boot type of picture that shows before the OS .

@JourneymanGeek ^ I'm getting incredibly frustrated on behalf of the OP there :\

"I've run out of headers" ... "Did you run out?"

sajad

@Psycogeek can u show me that?

Bob

"I need internal USB 2.0 headers for Corsair Link" ... "Why not get USB 3.0 instead? It's faster!"

ffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Journeyman Geek

@Bob apparently Nzxt has a second gen internal USB 2.0 hub.... :P

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Yea, I'm looking at that one right now :P

I do have the PCIe slots to spare, though, so a card would do just as well

Journeyman Geek

Eh. Maaaaybe.

Yup.

That's the first gen one?

13:36

Silly question... I want to add an item to my Amazon wish list, a data cable for my Western Digital Passport external drive. Is there one cable that they all use, or do I need to dig up the harddrive when I get home to check?

FWIW, my intent is to hook this up to one of the miniature computers I have to run a file-server and/or bittorrent connection so that I don't have to keep my desktop on all the time.

Burgi

they are normally a standard fitting

FuzzyBoots

Would that be USB 3.0 Male-A to Micro-B Data Cable?

Bob

Gus knows what he wants

►

@FuzzyBoots Depends how old the drive is.

Older ones would be USB 2.0. Older still would use mini, not micro.

Burgi

bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-38649175

FuzzyBoots

I remember that the last time I hooked it up, I only had USB 2.0, and it therefore only worked if I used a short cable.

Hennes

13:44

@Bob And still older ones used regular USB (40MB era, I still got one)

Psycogeek

the connection would be different for sure if one is USB2 and the other is USB3 . the usb shown on todays passports, looks like the same connection as segate externals controller usb3 connection with the V keying near the center of the connection. .

Hennes

Which was far superior, since you did not have to try to fit a tiny plug into the drive.

bwDraco

I'm experiencing some packet loss through my ISP :(

Burgi

is that unusual?

Hennes

Depends on the ISP.

FuzzyBoots

13:46

{nods} I'll just wait until I get home and can locate the drive. I replaced it with a larger one some months ago and it's in a box.

Thank you for your help.

Hennes

If you want to replace it try to go for a drive with at least USB3 (micro or -C or eSATA to TB3)

Esp if you consider a SSD as the larger replacement.

djsmiley2k

he's already replaced it, from what I read

Hennes

Could be. I interpreted it as a "I already have an old external HDD but not yet a cable" and "I might want to get a bigger drive" (which could use a different case, though putting it in the same drive is certainly cheaper).

Burgi

wow... there are people in my office that use their satnav everyday to get to work

Journeyman Geek

@FuzzyBoots I think WD passports use 'standard' micro USB 3.0 cables

If you wanted to play it safe, a micro USB 2.0 cable's compatible, with the associated loss in speed.

Hennes

13:52

nods.

Burgi

thats what i would do

djsmiley2k

@Hennes 'I replaced it with a larger one some months ago'

replaced, not will replace...

Hennes

13:55

@JourneymanGeek Does using a USB3 cable with usb2 device have any downsides?

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k its slower

Hennes

Uh?

Journeyman Geek

But most people have one lying around

er

djsmiley2k

Though I have a very old seagate external (which i think is dying) that uses USB Type B

Journeyman Geek

I mean

Bob

13:55

@djsmiley2k It won't fit.

Hennes

USB3 cable and USB 2 device ? Or the other way around

djsmiley2k

you know, the ones they mostly used in printers?

Journeyman Geek

it wouldn't fit

djsmiley2k

@Bob it wont? D:

Journeyman Geek

Sorry, I just had a fitness test and I'm dog tired

djsmiley2k

13:56

So the universal standard, isn't ?

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k USB 3 B cables are USB 2 cables with additional appendages

djsmiley2k

(I know it's serial bus)

@JourneymanGeek so? SAS cables are SATA cables with bits added too

Hennes

The universal standard when it was created was nicely universal.
USB-A (rectangular) port on the master side, 6 sided B connector for the slave

No way to mess it up. Nice and large connectors.

Journeyman Geek

Hennes

Then we got new standards. (insert needed xckcd here)

Psycogeek

13:57

i get about 100+ speed with single green drives on USB 3, i get 25 and down with the same thing plogged into the USB2 on my computer.

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k you can't plug in a SAS cable into a sata port no?

Hennes

They went smaller for phone and 2.5 inch devices.

djsmiley2k

@JourneymanGeek Oh ffs.

Hennes

@JourneymanGeek Indeed. SATA can be plugged into SAS. SAS cannot be plugged into SATA

Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.

Yes, that one. :)

djsmiley2k

I thought you could, but maybe not :D

Hennes

SATA is Power+data connector, with a hole between them. (can be two cables or just one cable)
SAS does not have that hole

djsmiley2k

ah now i remember

I had some SATA drives which had the gap to accept SAS cabling, because 'weird'

Psycogeek

14:00

My externals are big multi TB drives, takes a day to fill and compare them with USB3. at 2.0 speeds, it starts getting measured in infinity units (-:

if a device is acting up in windows, and your doing something important and dont want to reboot , you could always try disabling and re-enabling the device in the device manager. (or also in a batch file with devcon)

Left side of that cable only works with SATA, right side can plug into SAS and/or SATA

I had dual 1440x900's plus a central 1920x1080 at my last place of work. And a 1280x1024 hooked up on the side

Hennes

@ThatBrazilianGuy I agree. First world problem. But it does boost my productivity.

Origianlly I scavenged deserted work locations for 3 22" monitors and turned two on the side.
(with help of an USB to graphics thingy)

That Brazilian Guy

@Hennes At an occasional second office at work there was a single 23" display and it was significantly more impressive, comfortable and productive. I'd love a dual setup.

Dog

@Hennes I had to bring in an old/spare graphics card from home to get my work PC to drive all 4 monitors I scavenged

Hennes

18:24

Once you use two apps whose scroll sucks goat balls and you need to switch a lot between them (rewriting rules from old model to new model in a new program on the other screen) then multi screen setups start to really help.

Dog

My home PC runs four monitors fine.

Heck it could run six. If I had a home.

Hennes

MY home PC can do 4 monitors. My work laptops all had 4 or more outpouts... but failed to drive more than 2 at the same time.

Dog

My work laptop could do 3 at a time IIRC.

Hennes

I could go 2560x1440 + 1920x1200 + 1920x1200 + 1024x768 at home. But two screens suffice most of the time

@Dog Sell me your PC and buy a home \o/
