[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;52242058]Definitely bottlenecked, but is it the 3GB or 6GB 1060? I can pull 100 FPS on a GTX 770M so you should definitely be getting better than that either way.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=wingless;52242062]Yeah, that aint the GPU itself. You should be getting like 400+FPS on CSGO/Max.[/QUOTE] That's what I thought, but performance benchmarks show no difference between PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 3.0 and my CPU never reaches above 80% in either game.
I hate networks. So we noticed that the new printers we set up a few weeks ago have direct WiFi on by default, usually at least one of them is on the same channel as the main company wifi. We also found a second WiFi SSID with the name of the company, besides the one we actually use. Users have been complaining of spotty wireless speeds, so we decided to fix that. The extra wifi turned out to be from the old wireless router we had at our desk, to split the single ethernet port from the wall to our two desktops. I had set it up like a hub - the wall and both computers on the "LAN" side of the router, and I had been told (and didn't double-check) that the wireless part was broken. (Those of you with more network training than I have probably already noticed the problem that's about to happen, but I've done this exact thing several times elsewhere without trouble) Disabling the printers went fine, but when I went into the switch and turned off everything, there was a sudden flood of "the internet's down!". Since the SSID it had been broadcasting had been 'Companyname", we figured there was a good chance people had just connected to the wrong one. Except even people on ethernet had lost their connection. After much resetting, wailing and gnashing of teeth, we unplugged our desk router completely, which (after a few minutes and another reset) seems to have fixed everything. I strongly suspect that, somehow, that desk router had been acting as the DHCP server for the entire office, and when I had disabled the wireless, I'd also turned off the DHCP server, to prevent exactly this sort of problem. I redid it the "proper" way - upstream in the WAN port, desktops on the LAN side, on a different subnet and with DHCP back on. Seems to work. Now we get to do it all over again tomorrow, when we replace the main Verizon modem/router (an obsolete model which has been flaky and scheduled for replacement for months) with a new one (a refurb of the same model, instead of the current one). And then again in a few weeks, after we yell at Verizon enough to actually send us the kit we were promised instead of the same old crap.
well friends, I've gone and done it! I am now posting from a Ryzen 7 1700X w/ 16GB DDR4-2400 and a GTX 1070.
I officially have over 24 harddrives in my server :v: Used up all my bays already. With also moving all barely touched data to a more efficient Dual Parity I freed up literally 10TB in pool space. Now I got about 38TB in the pool itself. On two way mirror and the dual parity.

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52243910]So you are using a consumer wifi router as a switch?![/QUOTE] Yes? It was already around, and this isn't exactly a large company with a relentlessly-professional network. Using the four-port switch on the back of a dinky little Rosewill router as basically an Ethernet splitter works fine, except when the entire company somehow decides to obey its DHCP instead of the main one.

Zelpa decided to poke a stick at the beehive and made a email thread on the unicode maillist about google emojis Here's a legitimate reason why Apple Emoji are bad, because it isn't anyone's opinion, Google suffers the same with this now [t]https://tenryuu.blob.core.windows.net/astrid/17-05-19_00-30-56-Re_Petition_to_ban_Google_from_designing_emoji_fr.png[/t]
It's a fucking smiley face. Not an indication of a companies status in equality. If you are overanalyzing a fucking smiley you have no life. If a company has to point out it has alternate smilies to support equality it's putting too much thought into bullshit.
Let's just go back to emoticons :)

Here, have a genderless emoticon: 8===D~ I really don't know why people have such a need to find issue with everything. Emojis are yellow by default, that's racist. Just like LEGO!
blobs best emojis:(

Well, what matters isn't gender or whatever, it's that Sand Castle... just isn't a good poster and probably should kinda get over FP. The obsession is creepy. They talk about saying "I'll pay for the account! It'll be like SA!", so at that point why not move on to SA?
Today in uni on programming class we were using PCs which were really slow. They're core2duo shitboxes but even then they ran really slow, often locking up. One of the students asked why they were so slow, turns out that each PC is running linux which connects to a server running a windows XP VM and there's 20 pcs in the classroom. When the teacher was asked why they did that he said so that the pcs could only access the uni network and not the internet Guess what tho [sp]Internet works fine, even facebook loads[/sp] :why:

This isn't a huge corporate network. This is a single-office company running off a single 48-port switch, with one on-site file server (a Dell tower next to the main printer). IT policy is lax as fuck.
I joined FP when I was 11 years old in 2007. I'm glad posts before 2009 don't exist anymore :v:
