We all know bandwidth caps are a dying industry's feeble attempt to stay relevant
There's a reason your cable company provides your internet

It's also why there's so much anti-net neutrality lobbying done by them, you can simultaneously milk your internet users for everything they're worth while ALSO making cable seem that much more attractive by comparison to how shit they've made your internet

If you want to take a look at NBNCo's wholesale prices, by all means
I just can't really be bothered finding them on 256K
So I found this really neat utility called "LCDSirReal"

Basically it lets me put useful data on my G13 game board. It's really cool and all but it looks like it is an abandoned project. Did anyone here ever donate and get their code? I took a look at the forums and it looks pretty dead and the dev isn't fulfilling donation codes (all it does is get rid of some nag notice)
When I play TF2 I still get a 200 ping on the US westcoast servers.

There's a chart on the github page showing, at most, a half-second loading time increase for a 1.7GB program.

mine is fiber with no caps, they have regular adsl2 with awful (20GB or so) caps
it's arbitrary bullshit, companies just dont want to spend money on improving infrastructure, they just want to milk the decade-old cable that's already there[/QUOTE]
At least I'm on a provider that is actually doing something about bandwidth, rolling their own hardware out n shit
I don't know anyone on the sales/marketing team that can provide insight to usage costs unfortunately

Hmm those performance are better than I remembered back from the XP and Vista era compression. I guess having faster storage medium and faster hardware in general did benefit this a lot over the years

I don't remember doing that but it sounds like the kind of thing I'd do.

I guess it also depends how the software would read their files. And depends if Windows needs to read the whole file first or can it read from anywhere inside it.
So far though, I compressed my entire steam folder and got back 65GB and a few games I tried felt just as fast.
Edit: This just doesn't seem real: [img]https://i.imgur.com/O7HVqyE.png[/img]
Damn, my Ultrasharp U2407 is dying slowly. Does anyone make a 144/120hz 16:10 monitor?
I'll test how the games work later.

I'm trying it out on my steam folder too. I'll be interested to see how well my games perform considering I'm running a c.2013 build with an ivy bridge i7. I'm wondering if having an older system with a slower CPU will affect the ability to do the real-time decompression or whatever it's doing when you access the files.
Ah fuck it I ordered a Dell S2716DG. 27", 2560x1440, 165hz G-Sync. Hopefully my GTX 980 Ti will be able to drive games well enough to do it justice. The 24" version is significantly cheaper but I sit pretty far away from my desk so I went for the extra size.
I would love to use CompactGUI but I don't use Windows 10 :tinfoil:
compact.exe exists in 8.1, but does not have the same feature set.
seeing so much amazing results in the thread
aight let's compress the fuck out of Forza 7 on the NVMe...

Yeah my steam folder went from 96GB to 94GB. I think it either varies heavily by what you have in the folders, or we're doing something wrong.
i was able to shave off ~20gb from my steam folder on my ssd. not bad
I made the mistake again of listening to a website asking me to turn off my adblocker again. It opens up a page called localhost:64344 and started up my vive.

For some reason going to imgur did this to me for a while, so annoying :v:
Welp my phone battery is slightly swollen so I ordered a new one.
I don't know if it's worth it to risk a potential bomb or use a really shitty old phone and have none of my contacts for two-three days.

They should probably put security headers on the vive port
Nvidia do this, you just have to find the key yourself

They also randomise the port too I guess

Good quality TN panels are perfectly good for gaming
[QUOTE=garychencool;52814622]:disgust:[/QUOTE]
It’s a $200 price hike to an equivalent IPS monitor, pushing the Thing way out of my price range. I don’t do any significant graphics work any more so I don’t need an IPS panel. Let me put it this way: I’d rather have the refresh rate and G-sync instead of an IPS panel for the price.
[QUOTE=Levelog;52814752]Good quality TN panels are perfectly good for gaming[/QUOTE]
Shame they look fucking terrible.
When creating a scene for Amazon Alexa is it possible to have that scene include a song to play through specific Bluetooth speakers?
[QUOTE=SataniX;52816333]Shame they look fucking terrible.[/QUOTE]
Most people probably don't care about using TN panels, although we are in the times where you can get high refresh rate IPS monitors that just cost more, have better colour, however they are probably not colour accurate.
I only care about IPS panels if I'm doing something that needs better 1:1 colour ratios.
Other than that I couldn't give a fuck, TN supports better refresh and response rates anyway.
IPS has gotten really close with properly calibrated overdrive. My 165hz IPS Xb271HU and it's crazy good.

Most people haven't tried a quality IPS and/or are partially blind then.
The difference is insane, I can't see how people can stand TN panels.
