[QUOTE=Zephyrs;45889606]Where do people live that they have such shitty tap water.
My tap water is crisper and cleaner tasting than if you run it through one of those active carbon pitchers. You can still taste the plastic in some of those.[/QUOTE]
I use tap water over filtered every time. Figure if there's anything gross in there, it'll just serve to be a nice immune system boost. Doesn't taste like ass, either, and we have some pretty hard water where I'm at.
the water is here is soft, and disgusting makes me want to puke drinking it since I'm used to hard water
I was on my notebook in school when Windows decided to tell me that I really should consider replacing the battery.
True, I've been using it for almost four years by now and its performance is really terrible (it dies after ~45 minutes), but.. uh..
Anyone knows on what grounds does Windows decide it's crap? Is it low voltage or something? Is it safe to keep it in or are there any potential risks?

I think the BIOS just tells windows when the battery is below a certain health status. It's safe to use, but it won't last very long.

Modern laptop batteries are fairly intelligent. They will store info like rated capacity, measured capacity (what the BIOS has calculated based on charge cycles) and the number of charge cycles. The BIOS reports this to the OS. When the battery capacity falls below are certain percentage of the rated capacity, Windows will generate that warning.
[QUOTE=nikomo;45889124]If I win the lottery or something, I'm getting that kind of watercooler, with a service contract where they drive to you and change the tank for you.
It'd be hard to get douchier than that.
Also, the thing I switched to is an Enermax Liqtech 240X.[/QUOTE]
we have that. it isn't that expensive
[editline]4th September 2014[/editline]
the cooler doesn't cost much, but you pay a little premium on the tanks to even it out over time and to cover delivery etc.
Does anyone else here have a set amount of hard drive space they like to keep free? I'm currently trying to keep at least 1tb of my 3tb hard drive clear, I'm partly scared I'll eat it up too fast otherwise. I started with 2tb spare when I moved everything over to it, eaten up 1tb in just five months.
Just set up Synergy on my tablet and my work PC. Oh yes. This is awesome. Now I can leave the tablet keyboard detached and still use it :)

I like to keep it above 10 GB free and that's just to make sure defragmenting works correctly. If you are worried about using too much, come up with a better filing system. If you use it all and its not because of duplicates or crap files, then you genuinely have a need for storing 3 TB.

Well having been drinking hard tap water for 19 years yes, I'm used to it and I like the taste, abruptly having to switch to soft water just feels gross to me. The water just feels like runny snot

Depends on the size of the drive really, i try to aim for 10% free space.

If I'm using up more than 30% of my hard drive, I start to get slightly anxious.
[editline]4th September 2014[/editline]
Dunno why. Doesn't apply to the storage / backup drives I have lying around, but any main computer drive.
I only get concerned when I start running out of room. What's the point in having lots of storage if you're not going to use it.
I'm actually doing fine on my 90GB SSD. Still 65gb left.

Yeah, you have that. In an office environment, I'm guessing.
I'm talking personal house. Have the service guy drive to the house, ring the doorbell, replace the tank on the watercooler, right next to a tap, in a location where the tap water tastes pretty good to begin with, and then leave.

Heh, its mostly Blu-ray rips that haven eaten that last 1tb, I'm compressing them down something more manageable at the moment. I'm not touching rips where I don't own the master disk though, out of fear something could go wrong when doing the conversion that I don't notice and then being stuck because I deleted the original file.

Shall we see where the rabbit hole goes?
No this is patrick
I had two different 1280x1024 19" screens. VA902 broke (caps) so I replaced it with another 1280x1024, but a 17" one.
Dad found a VA902 from his workplace, broken. Of course it is caps, so now I have 2x 19" screens what actually look the same!
also have a Samsung 940N (not working, i guess caps, gonna check tomorrow) and now my LG L1917S is without use. I could plug in my HD4650 and use it to power the third screen, as my HD7850 only has one DVI-I port, other is DVI-D. And the second screen is on my IGP. To get a third VGA port I would need to plug the old GPU in and I don't know if it would be worth it, as it got a bit loud.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;45892984]no hdmi to vga or dvi?[/QUOTE]
They need to be active and that costs a lot :(
You know what I want to see someone make? A dual-socket microATX board. Or an LGA-2011 miniITX board. Both of those should be physically possible according to this napkin I wrote some math on, but nobody seems to have made one.
It's completely impractical, but it would be some bragging rights for whichever mobo maker pulls it off. It's like that motorcycle with a V10 Viper engine in it - nobody's going to buy one, but holy shit will they talk about one.

I have this horrifying image of some mini itx board with two xeons in it where the one is a duaghter board you put on top of the other one with some impeller heatsink abomination sandwiched in the middle between the processors.

Better idea: Slotkets. You could totally do dual-socket miniITX if you used Slot 2. Or something similar - anyone want to make a two-thousand-pin slot? No? Nobody?
Obviously you'd want to watercool this, just to keep the height above the socket to a minimum.
Or you could put a socket on the backside of the mobo. That would be need a special case but maybe there's a use case for it.
