I see someone broke the thread again.
I personally would go for the Blue, the Blacks are really for use cases with demanding I/O such as video/audio editing. Unless you plan to be transferring mass amounts of data to/from the drive regularly, I don't necessarily think the Black is a necessary upgrade. I just had to make a similar choice when buying my first SSD as well - went for the M.2 Blue because I just didn't feel like I'd be relying on the SSD for those heavy use cases. Most of my drive usage is just plain storage.
Thanks for the inputs, Guess I'll just go with the WD Blue.
The Alloy Elite came in, and man it is just fantastic to type on. It's a bit of a learning curve getting used to a mechanical keyboard that's nearly twice as tall as my old, slim, membrane one. I definitely don't regret going with the Cherry Reds because I feel like even the Browns would have been just a little too non-linear for my personal preferences.
AdoredTV has either gone off the deep end, or Zen 2 is going to be insane.

(My bet is AdoredTV has has lost it)
My Mikrotik 951G router is unable to get past 150Mbps with firewall settings which send traffic to specific IPs via vpn so I'm looking for router which will be able to sustain 250Mbps with this firewall rule. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about getting Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite but I'm not sure how good it is.
He feeds off AMD fanboy hype boners.

Intel's roadmap has some interesting things on it. Mixing Core and Atom cores could be really good for laptops/tablets - Atom when idling on battery, Core for bigger tasks or when plugged in. Freesync on GPU is much-needed, since those are the users suffering from low framerates anyways; the other GPU improvements basically just bring them up to where AMD already is. The 3D packaging looks a bit different from AMD's take - the stuff team red is shoving onto an I/O chiplet, team blue is baking into the interposer itself, and they're stacking RAM on top of it all (which sounds awful for cooling but a win for mobile). And adding more LEA execution units to the actual core design, to counteract the increased number of address calculations needed for Meltdown mitigations, is interesting, though not really a performance improvement.
It does seem like AMD's gonna eat Intel's lunch for another year, though. And some of those long-term ideas sound just dumb, like AI instruction extensions.
AMD did research into active interposers, but so far hasn't acted on it. Maybe they don't see the need yet, and their future plans are to go ham with it when the time is right, who knows.
Anyway, hopefully AMD can get a good year pounding on Intel to catch up in market share and margin, then Intel comes back and is at least competitive. As much as I like AMD, they're on watch for getting complacent (locking Athlon sku Zen parts).
Are you using any fasttrack rules in your firewall? VPN might be a bit tough above that depending on the router, but a Mikrotik hAP ac2 can handle around 400Mbps+ IPSEC with built in dual band WiFi.
God fucking DAMMIT, Firefox.
They're removing a big feature I use, Live Bookmarks, in v64. I knew this, I turned off automatic updates on all my computers, while I finish writing an addon that will do the same job and better.
I wake up this morning, and all my Live Bookmarks are wrecked. Tablet's still on v63, laptop's still on v63... oh, somehow my desktop updated. Despite being set to ask before installing updates. Apparently it just decided to ignore that setting, so when Windows updated without asking, so did Firefox, then it downgraded all my no-longer-compatible Live Bookmarks, and pushed them with Sync to all my other devices. So now even IF I reinstall an older version, I'd have to go set them all back up because there's no magic revert feature.
Guess I'll be spending the day finishing up the replacement, then. Not what I wanted to spend the day on.
Mine automatically exported a "Firefox feeds backup.opml" file on the desktop during the upgrade, so unless something went wrong in your case, you should still have a way to recover your stuff.
Oh, that's there, it's just damn near useless because it completely ignored my careful organization. Best I can tell it's sorted by date of last update? So all my nested folders and careful hand-sorting is gone.
Hm... I've had to do some weird things with connection marks for vpn traffic but it looks like fasttrack fixed my problem, thanks!
Well my current keyboard lasted over 2 years before I killed by spilling tea. I was prepping to stream, and I had my cup and I thought "I should move this out of my way since I don't want to spill it on my keyboard. I then go to move my mic out of the way and tip it over.
Welp, I can pick up another K70 Mark II from bestbuy tomorrow morning. I can't stand membrane.
It's honestly about what I expected.
You can think of most neural networks and other machine learning methods as a form of lossy data compression. Just think about the space of all possible functions that map 2560x1440x24bit images into 3840x2160x24bit images. The number is so ridiculously huge it's not even worth calculating. Now of course their reconstruction algorithm will only work on smaller blocks of the image at a time and only a tiny fraction of all the possible mappings are relevant to the images you could ever possibly see in the game, but you're still trying to encode a huge amount of complexity into a model that's only what, megabytes in size?
You're never gonna get perfect reproductions of what you're trying to replicate with machine learning, all you can hope for are rough approximations that happen to look pleasing. And that's basically what DLSS is, it performs about as well as conventional upscaling algorithms with the added bonus that there's some amount of antialiasing built in by design. It also has that sharpening filter look with ringing around the edges which I'm not too fond of.
In the end, DLSS seems like a contrived, roundabout way of trying to make the tensor cores on the new GPUs appealing to the average gamer. I'm not gonna complain about a neat extra feature that looks like it could be useful in certain situations, but it's not the sort of revolutionary advancement that Nvidia wants to sell it as.
It's early so I think it will improve.
I'm impressed at how good it looks given that it has less resolution to work with.
That said, I'll choose TAA over all 90% of the time. Ghosting artifacts just aren't that bad in most games. Skyrim and FO4 are the worst offenders, and even then it's not that bad. But I also didn't mind FXAA which causes gamers to rise up into a fury.

Since when was this a feature?
Why do the best keycap sets have to be so expensive?

For a complete 104 key set it's like $400. I cry.
Earlier this month I accidentally deleted my boot manager twice. I also learned how to repartition an EFI boot sector twice.
Please help me figure out USB V, GND, Data+, Data- wires of this camera I pulled out of the HP dv6-3050us:

Is there any chance of damaging the camera or the USB port it gets connected to if I just try all the combinations till it works?
I (temporarily) broke my GPU any time I booted my computer last night.
I had a bad overclock and had EVGA Precision start on bootup.
It took me 20 minutes to edit the config file just right so that I could at least boot into Windows without it freezing.
Messing with voltages - never again.
My guess - brown-black is ground. Check with multimeter to be sure from any of the ground points.
Brown is also used for the microphone ground.
Red is +5v. Green is Data +, and now play bingo.
Or check with a multimeter again if can find the microphone (i think they are microphones there) wires. Maybe red and black are for the mic?
Haven't heard of anything bad happening from connecting the data lines wrong, but try to not mess up finding the correct power lines.
Red is always DC 5v + and black is always going to be gnd. White and green are USB data lines. Brown is probably microphone.
Just learned this myself. Wanted a set of Modern Selectric caps, but not for the $120 they're charging for the full set. And that doesn't even include the 10-key....
The only Modern Selectric kit I saw was made by Signature Plastics, which is going to cost in excess of $120 for anything more than Alphas + Extensions.
Cheapest SP SA profile keyset I've seen was $80 for a TKL, $105 for 104-key (And that's with non-custom legends, you start adding those bad boys in like the Selectric caps look to have, and you'll start trending to Space Cadet prices).
I've also been thinking of building an Iris kit.

Or maybe a Dactyl... or Dactylus... or Dactl Manuform...

So many options, so little money.
do people actually use those crazy split keyboards? I always figured people just built them for the memes, they make almost no practical sense to me
they sure do look cool though
