[QUOTE=Birdman101;44144834]FUCK FUCK FUCK
I shrank the main partition on my secondary drive so I could put a recovery partition on it, then when I selected the new 5gb partition for the backup drive, windows decided to make it 32gb and DELETE THE ENTIRE OTHER PARTITION. Now this drive had everything of mine. Steam library, music, pics, EVERYTHING. It was my backup, as I was reinstalling windows on my main drive.
I know last time something like this happened I found some tool to recover the old deleted mbr and since the data wasnt written over it I could retrieve it again. I cannot find said tool again. Does anyone know of something I could use to get my shit back?
if not Im FUCKED.[/QUOTE]
I've used Piriform Recuva before, which worked for me when I accidentally deleted some files.

Photorec is good at finding files, but it's not terribly useful with structure /folders from what I remember.
Welp. One week of uptime and the power company called saying we were being billed at TIER 2 because of excessive consumption. Looks like I won't be running a server after all.

I think I might need to do some more optimization work on this webservice call. And yes, this is actually the second version of it - the first was even slower.[/QUOTE]

the power consumption to performance ratio on decades old hardware is awful? who would've guessed

I'm not fucking running anything that could eat up a month's average of hydro in less than a week. That's over 1100 Kwh in five days (220 Kwh/day). It's impossible I used that.
what the shit. I left last night to go to the bar and put my computer to sleep, locked my room and was gone for more than 24 hours and when I got back my computer was on.

Do you have pets? They could have just stepped on the keyboard or something.

Do you have any fucking clue how much energy 220Kwh is? Even If I had been running the clothes dryer non-stop for the last five days I wouldn't be touching what I was metered. Even if I ran everything I own I couldn't use that much power in five days.

Nope, all the animals were locked out.

Sometimes my computer too wakes up from sleep by itself.
It's very annoying especially at night when I have it in sleep and it wakes up, then goes back to sleep and wakes up again..
Check your background processes if there's anything that could cause it.
My school uses Citrix Receiver for remote access to our files and for some reason its background process makes my computer stay awake.
That'd be like a wake on lan thing, right? I'll have to check to be sure, but I think I have it disabled.

Can't think of anything that might be waking my desktop though, Comcast wouldn't be checking in, right?
Right?

Oh nevermind, that might've resulted from losing AC power.
Looks like it was probably windows update. The windows update log says it checked at about 3:30 this morning, no other logs anywhere.

Time for a full power audit of your house!
Just look for the source Power-Troubleshooter, that'll tell you exactly what woke the system.
That's how I found out Samsung Magician was being a bitch.
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;44143283]Also I type about 65wpm (and have a really odd hand layout, spacebar is hit by the right index finger) in those typing tests but it's probably more when I'm typing what I'm thinking instead of typing what I'm reading

Ask your PUD if they accidentally recorded one or more of your neighbors as "your" meter.

I think I'm starting to become convinced that its better to play old games on emulators than it is on actual hardware. Games can be played at 1080p, and the sprite look really isn't ruined by LCDs (Running at native resolution)
It depends on the system you're emulating, of course. PS2 emulation still has many eons to go before it's where it needs to be for a flawless experience on all games.

I suppose so, but PS2 emulation is the only big one for me. The sort of systems I tend to emulate are ones from the 1990s. The only other big 2000s console I emulate is the Wii which is pretty fine given a tweak or two.
[QUOTE=KOManiacJim;44147379]Guys, My mother's Windows 8.1 laptop is acting up all the time. One minute it is working fine and going La-de-da and mom's going on her merry way then the next minute, Blue Screen and lock ups. And also, her left ctrl key is missing.
I have to assume that there is something wrong with it because I never messed with it except when I am attending my studies online and quite frankly if the laptop bites the big one then that's several hundred dollars out the window which we don't have until payday this month. I wish I can do something about the glitches and stuff. If I can't fix it well... The family is screwed for the month.[/QUOTE]
Well Jim, it's your lucky day! We have a tech support sub forum.
Anyone use a Powerline adaptor for their computer? Is there any advantages or disadvantages of using it over just general Ethernet wire?
[QUOTE=Genericenemy;44148109]Anyone use a Powerline adaptor for their computer? Is there any advantages or disadvantages of using it over just general Ethernet wire?[/QUOTE]
I think it depends on how "clean" the power is at your house. It's a good in-between when a regular ethernet cable is out of the question and Wi-Fi might be too difficult or unreliable.
