[QUOTE=nikomo;43779063]Christ, my eyes just skipped past the fucking thing, the 8 different OS X versions got me bored of the list so I started skipping and didn't remember 32-bit Windows still exists.

Wait, [B]WHO THE FUCK IS USING A 32-BIT VERSION OF WINDOWS 8.1[/B]

My T100 uses 32-bit 8.1 because Atoms still only support 32-bit. On a machine with only 2gb of RAM it doesn't really matter, does it?

Actually from my experience, using 32 bit on systems with 3 GB or less RAM tend to be better for RAM usage anyway. And you can use older device drivers that don't have 64 bit support for some reason (which is probably the sole reason 32 bit exists). It does have a place, but I would say its pretty much a niche on modern machines.

A lot of first-gen Intel Macs have no official 64-bit support even under BootCamp. I had to engage in much trickery to get mine to install Win8 x86-64. There's probably still a number of similar boxes out there whose owners put Windows on it but didn't even notice it was x86-32, much like how it took me a month to realize the non-Pro version of W8 had disabled one of my CPUs.

hey heya hi holler at me, i'm the .34%
I only have 3gb of RAM and my motherboard barely supports 32bit, I don't really have a need to go 64bit

i never played cookie clicker. I thought it was stupid.
that stopped being the case about an hour and a half ago.

also, goddamn is installing a hackintosh hard without a Mac. I used to have a hackintosh, but it randomly stopped booting, so I chucked it, and I can't get a VM to play nice.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I got free of cookie clicker by reformatting and forgetting to back my save up
Goddamn this thread is huge.
I stopped frequenting it probably about half a year before I got perma'd and seeing it this huge, and gone through so many threads is weird.

that's but the first step. Let me know when you're letting it idle for a week straight.
My Intel NUC arrived Yesterday, here is a size comparison:

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;43781934]What you doing with the nuc?[/QUOTE]It's going to be an HTPC. I'm trying to get Ubuntu, Centos or OpenELEC on it.
I left my phone's tethering on while it was connected to my computer and it just ate half my battery.
Fun.

I should stop passing out at the computer because this is getting silly.

This exactly. Once you get so many heavenly chips and the game gets super easy when you autoclick at like 10ms intervals with both x7 and x777 bonuses, where you can make several Qa in 30 seconds, it gets old fast. And theres nothing really endgame past getting a ton of antimatter condensers, so it got boring quickly
My NUC seems to be having issues with detecting 2.5" drives, I've tried 3 drives and 1 SSD and nothing. However it does detect the drive when I use difference Sata cable and connect it to a PSU from a different machine, so the theory is that the small cables are damaged or the NUC isn't giving the drive enough power meaning that I need a lower power 2.5" drive.
I guess I'll have to RMA it, shame it's a 4 week process .

also, anyone else think the new way of signing into multiple accounts on Chrome is dumb? I have 2 primary Gmail accounts, and one forwards mail to the one associated with youtube/G+/all the other stuff. sometimes, time critical mail doesn't show up for a half hour or so, so I have to login to the other account. but instead of typing in username + pass, I have to add the account to my Chrome? seems stupid, especially when I want to only periodically check my gmail associated with my linkedin and stuff.

it usually is, but when I'm like trying to figure out my Battle.net account and suddenly it locks my account because I sign in on a new computer, I want to take care of that immediately and even when I force a refresh it won't pull down the emails from Blizz.

I've seen it happen in a school, all the class PCs were these tiny Lenovo things stuck to the back of the monitors, was pretty neat looking
A lot better than the Dell Optiplexes that were the size of a British house

Were they a bit battered as well? At my college I've seen them with their optical and/or floppy drives broken. Front USB ports busted. Hell sometimes they even had litter in the spaces where the Optical and floppy drives had been removed.

I could go through the whole school and count the number that still had Dell logos on one hand :v:
It's not like they're even somewhat valuable like car badges

For word processing, definitely. I don't think we will be seeing the return of a mainframe exactly, but tiny boxes are starting to pop up.
Though obviously some jobs still require an actual workstation.
