@CanadianLuke ... what @Bob said... that's just basic networking 101.
I mean, the whole internet, and every private/corporate/virtual network in the world, is just switches and routers, communicating with other switches and routers on varying subnets.
@ThatBrazilianGuy Hah, it was fairly similar for me until I went to half of those places. Most of South America and Africa remains the same for me, since I've not been to any of those places. I think I know where Brazil and Argentina are, because I've got friends from there, but that's about it. I lived with someone from Columbia for a few years and still don't know where that is, other than over in that direction somewhere <===
A man in west coast Austria wants to deposit money into my account. I'm in Alabama.
I had to get an online account. I did that, but he says his bank manager needs all this information:
DOB
SSN
online access username
online access password

designed for middle/high-schoolers indeed
that said, I know a lot of people who need that advice
IMO any device with less than ~100 GB of storage is not a good candidate for Windows, particularly if the device also has less than 4 GB of memory.
But then again, there are people who simply need the cheapest available Windows device, even if severe limitations need to be accepted.
Though 2 GB RAM is going to be more impactful to the end consumer (because it severely limits multitasking performance) than having 32 GB of storage (it's not hard to add flash drives or memory cards).
@bwDraco My main laptop has a 120GB HDD (111GB usable) because I wanted an SSD but couldn't afford one with a larger capacity . That said, I'm also running LTSB, which has a smaller install size than regular win10
This morning, I walked out front of my house to find a medium-sized snake balled up on my driveway beneath my motorcycle. I spotted it from my porch so I didn't walk any closer. I believe it was a Texas rat snake.
I've seen a few snakes in my area but none really up close, so I watched it curiou...
@rahuldottech Microsoft Research is its own site. It may be hosted on the microsoft.com domain but that does not mean that only one server or even one CMS may be running on that domain.
I am new in programming world and i always get stuck with my code and unfortunately I anyone who will guide me with codes. So please can I have your number.
if they're telling you this in the context of being unable to fulfill obligations (at work, school, etc.) tell them "Take care of yourself and your grandmom and I'll talk to you when you're back. Family is the highest priority" or something like that
@bwDraco yes, but once you have as many (unique) commits as can fill a 128-bit address space, you are guaranteed to start getting collisions with every commit
> [11:18 PM, 9/21/2018] Rahul: It's completely okay, I understand. Family comes first. [11:18 PM, 9/21/2018] Rahul: Do take care [11:19 PM, 9/21/2018] Rahul: And I know that you don't know me very well (or at all, really) but if there's any way in which I can help, do let me know.
And I thought I was the only one here tarded enough to say something like that
@rahuldottech Not really, my life's a strange clusterfuck right now. On the one hand suicidal and near death experiences, on the other hand those same experiences leading me to discover people that are like OMG people like me exist and life is worth living?
@allquixotic Ugh. This is why niceness is a rarity in today's world. I try to be there for someone you're just like "hurr he wants the sex hurr". I'm not a goddamned jerk.
@rahuldottech Not that I'd know. I dunno. Seriously, the inside of my consciousness is a bipolar tornado right now, you probably do not want it to be expelled into this chat
I should probably close this chat before I say something that gets myself banned. Then again, the whole reason I might say something like that is because my mind is all like, seriously, WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYTHING IS?
The world... like... incredibly inspirational advancements in humanity, happiness, and enlightenment, and stupidity, suffering and death all at the same bloody time.
@rahuldottech I just want sex but why does everyone just want sex? Why is the whole world so fucking fuelled by sex, oh wait it isn't oh wait it is. Can someone do something about it? Oh wait someone is, but they're not, and someone else is fucking it all up and doing the opposite.
And for once I'm not talking about me or Trump.
On an unrelated note, cryptocurrency markets are in a giant whirlpool right now as well... oh hey I just made $100, oh hey I just lost $200 oh hey I could have made $300 there oh hey WHAT IS GOING ON
@rahuldottech I want to invest in the real markets where I've been 100% profitable, and price variations follow well defined and studied trends, fundamental drivers and technical analysis, but apparently, regulations forbid me from doing it because it's too risky.
@rahuldottech Yes I just read about that ten minutes ago. Or maybe an hour ago. Can't tell, because high on this drug this girl inspired me to do because hey, apparently she's happy. Somehow.
@rahuldottech According to her nobody's ever died on it! But then she's also crazy, but the only person in the last month I've actually felt wait I have something in common with.
@rahuldottech No, common as in sharing similar mild altering experiences on psychedelic drugs. Like she totally fully understands this indescribable experience that a half dozen psychiatrists are unable to comprehend.
@rahuldottech And yet she's happy, attractive, famous, surrounded by all the kinds of people I want to be friends with, but can't find and didn't even realise existed in the world until now. Instead I go to the docs and they be like "Yer mentally deranged, the things you gots (which make other people live in happy communities) are a mental disorder, here take these pharmaceuticals for the rest of your life and go melt into your couch and stare at the wall unproductively"
@djsmiley2k Drugs, which I'm apparently not supposed to talk about.
Sure she takes drugs, but that's very probably not why she's happy, attractive, famous, andsurrounded by all the kinds of people you want to be friends with
@rahuldottech Nope, but what it does show is what I'm doing isn't the problem. It's the people I'm surrounded by, and the way they see and react to what I do that makes me unhappy. It's actually possible for people like myself to not be deranged and morose.
@Dog We don't want you to die. Is that a very bad thing? We don't approve of all your activities. That does not mean that we consider you deranged or morose
I don't get it. STOP GETTING RID FOR THE CONTEXT MENU KEY. STOP IT. STOP STOP STOP. If I have that key, it means I can work almost completely from my keyboard without moving my hands to the trackpad. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH FASTER THAT IS???
@rahuldottech That's the thing. Some people consider these things bad, destructive, and illegal, and harmful. Other people consider these things uplifting, enlightening, build their communities around them. Being surrounded by the incorrect group is not going to be beneficial.
@rahuldottech Yes exactly. It's the realisation that... well, surrounding myself with people who support what I like and want to do, instead of disparage and derogate what I do a) is actually possible, and b) might be a better solution than being resigned to thinking what I do is bad and I must change.
Case in point, regulations say I'm not allowed to trade mainstream stocks (that I've been 100% profitable on) because it's too risky. So instead I have to trade cryptocurriencies instead (which I'm -100% profitable on), which are more risky, cause there be no regulations saying I can't
On the other hand you want to trade cryptocurrencies but you're not allowed to because again, regulations! Yay!
I find the fact that so many things in the world are considered self destructive and bad by some people and positive and healthy by other people to be the root cause of a lot of the world's problems.
I actually follow a devout religious zealot on youtube because some of the things she says are actually helpful and positive to the people of this world (including myself), despite I myself being a member of the skeptics and humanists societies that totally secular.
When it comes to religion, preaching about holy war against infidels may be bad, but help thy neighbour, be generous, and treat others as you expected to be treated are good teachings. So yes, some parts of some religions does some good.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter if someone donates to charity or volunteers to help a community because they're atheist and consider it "morally right" or because they're religious "The love of jesus inside me tells me to", the end result is still positive.
Really? I'd be surprised if no religion still in existence today mentions going out and killing people anywhere at all. After all certain Christianity texts still mention eating shrimp being a sin and promoting incest, even if we're not supposed to obey them anymore
Hey guys, I'm trying to help a friend set up her new (to her) Dell Windows 10 laptop. She has never used a computer, she's disabled, and the laptop will virtually never leave her home. The very first thing I am trying to do is remove the password protection screen. I figured that would be easy...
Windows 10 will just not stop asking me for a password now I've added my microsoft account to the damn thing.
I added my MS account as I wanted to backup my key ready for wiping and reinstalling fresh.
Now, no matter what the settings in netplwiz or via the control panels 'Sign In Options' are ...
