@allquixotic The problem is, while a nontrivial number of consumers are buying premium system equipped with Iris Graphics, there doesn't seem to be much attention given to it.
Consumers don't understand what Iris Graphics means and still think that "integrated graphics = bad".
I really need to know how to exit out of UEFI BIOS by MrChromebox. I don't like it and I need it to be deactivated. I can't power wash the chromebook or reset it. I can't even figure out how to reset the RAM to where I can do it.

A 140% resolution modifier (1512p resolution) gives a visible boost to fine details without dramatically increasing graphics card burden (and lets me run the game with the graphics card in a power-saving mode without drastically reducing frame rates).
200% resolution modifier (2160p, 4K resolution) looks amazing on this monitor but pushes the limits of the 1080 Ti.
One of the issues with the dynamic resolution feature is that it needs absurd amounts of VRAM to work at high resolutions.
@ThatBrazilianGuy I see a lot of job postings on Upwork. Most of them are by individuals and not companies. Is this where everything is going? Companies cut employees, employees starting their business from home and hiring others on Upwork? Where is job stability?
I ended up setting up a private webservice that would call a PHP instance configured for allowing execution that only returned the function results and only responded to localhost and then called across from the main php environment
when I had to build a secure php app for a bill payment service
I keep meaning to update my custom code so I can move off phpbb2 which is getting scary old, but it's... complicated
given how they changed the architecture
my instance is modified to support oAuth integration with battle.net, with a roster tracker that integrates with armory API, automatically updates group memberships and handles account activation/deactivation, automatically syncs with and manages permissions and graphics in teamspeak, builds lua files to allow adjustment of in-game settings for users via an in-game addon, provides roster management for in-game teams (with TS integrated attendance tracking) and provides detailed stats.
it's about 150 hours of custom coding I really don't want to (or have the time to) redo
but back on the backups thing. Working with professional video makes keeping backups HARD... I have about 15-16TB of data before having redundancies
might actually be getting up closer to 22 TB now, it's been a while since I did a complete inventory of my archival stuff
@JourneymanGeek - I figured I might have been right. If a redaction was being made then, I wanted to bring up that miss, to your attention. Hopefully you are having a better day then it sounds like you are having.
@Boris_yo depends which one's had a vulnerability lately ;)
I'm very glad to be at the point where I'm far enough along in my career to be able to afford redundant storage now though. It was stressful not having it
my bad thing now is having a limited amount of off-site
I've only got about 3TB of off-site
well, plus another 7TB for a particular project I suppose
can someone tell me what is the best practice for cron jobs considering the following: small cron jobs executed separately or a single big cron executed
You have both options. In fact, you can cast the entire screen, you can cast the chrome window, or you can cast a media content from the page, if it was built to support chromecast, i.e. a youtube video
So, turns out Google Cast as an extension was discontinued because it is now built into Chrome. As I use Chromium, I still need the extension. It auto-updates into a useless "hey stop using me" warning (package down from 1MB to a few KB). I found a site that features old versions (crx4chrome.com) but I'm suspicious...
@CanadianLuke Audits are extremely counterproductive and destructive. They make organizations and the people in them make the stuuupidest decisions that they'd never rationally make otherwise, just to be completely risk-averse and ascetic so nothing shows up on the audit.
The whole concept of auditing is fundamentally flawed. Let's be super strict with the rules while we're being audited, but every other time, do what you want!
Oh, I know a thing or two about accountability. I work with the federal government. I would surmise that some of the jobs I've been in are much more strict with their accountability and audit trail than a school, but I've never worked at a school so I don't know for sure
All I can say is that federal government agencies operate with probably the most red tape that has ever existed anywhere in the history of humanity
> In a fairly definitive expression of its stance, a director of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has signalled that virtual currencies like bitcoin won’t be allowed in the country. “Our current position on bitcoins is that we will not be using it for any payments and settlements…though the technology underlying crypto-currencies will not end,” said S Ganesh Kumar, executive director of the RBI, at a conference in Mumbai on Nov. 06.
I lost my reputation when adding a bounty, 50 is required to comment. Can someone post a comment to this Firefox answer stating that the extension is not a WebExtension? https://superuser.com/a/1266187/741672
"If you know a suitable extension, make sure it is a WebExtension as legacy extensions are deprecated in November 2017, when Firefox 57 is released."
Here the developer verifies that the extension likely won't be ported: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=522643&start=1005 "Due to ABH2 is totally based on hacking Firefox's XUL code, migrate to WebExtension that means totally rewrite the extension, it is impossible for me now. So, it might be the end."
Oh, the joy of SIM locking. Trying to figure out if the G900V model needs to be CDMA unlocked to use carriers like net10, which already use verizon. An hour of searching hasn't gotten me far either way. G900V = Galaxy S5... does anybody here know?
@CanadianLuke Well I went and flashed from Android 4 to 5 on an S4 device and now it won't read sim cards. Did that a year ago and got a reminder when I went for net10.
Trying to call customer service lead to their complaint about my voice quality, which is all part of this fiasco. (But if anyone knows if "sim card unreadable" can be fixed, please let me know!)
I haven't tried it, but 3 brand new Sims (1 net10, 2 verizon) didn't work in the same phone. I should try it, though. And probably get a friend's phone to ask customer service my first question.
That's what I would try first. Once you verify if the SIM works or not, then I would try a factory reset on the phone in question, and see if it starts reading SIM cards
If it still doesn't, then I'd assume a hardware issue, but it could very well be a software issue too. So then flash a new firmware
My baseband version is I545VRUGOF1. I know Lineage OS doesn't support it, didn't look into Cyanogenmod recently. I learned it was considered defunct; might check it again.
@person27 What idiot carrier locks their phones? You're locked into a contract to pay for it either way, what do they care if you use it on another network and pay someone else as well?
@Mokubai Mine is second-hand, which might be an excuse for vendors to lock their phones since it opens up the possibility of getting a second contract from the same phone.
Unless the first owner requested it to be unlocked after a contract, the second owner won't be able to. Not all phones are sold on contract either, and there are non-contractual plans available.
