[QUOTE=kaze4159;51978329]IIRC this is just DASH doing its job, the video's broken up into segments, and I'm guessing they allow you to buffer the next N segments from the currently playing one at max speed, then cap the rest Letting people buffer entire videos as fast as they can would be a massive waste of bandwidth[/QUOTE] Having bandwidth available and not using it for anything is a massive waste of bandwidth.

There's only been a tiny handful of problems with playback that I've had with youtube that were not solved by nuking dash.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;51978168]Basing the death of the desktop on sales figures keeps being hilarious as long as they don't count the people that build themselves and the stuff pc stores build. Tablets were predicted to wipe out laptops but then the growth in sales didn't go as well as expected when everyone already had one and at times it's just not a good replacement for a laptop and at times do just as much as a modern phone.[/QUOTE] PC building can't be a huge number. What's probably happening is people just don't need a new computer every couple years. If you have a core 2 duo or some early i3/i5 and your PC isn't infested with malware, it's not going to be much faster than something new, especially if you buy a new machine without an SSD. At least, in normal browsing / email / office stuff.
As LTT made a video to point out the obvious a couple of months ago: throw an SSD in an old computer and you'll probably squeeze another year or two out of it for a spreadsheet machine.

However, they failed to emphasize on this point by bringing in too much irrelevent information and made it seem like desktops are no longer needed by anyone.

I did that recently for a customer of mine. A computer was sold to her by one of my co-workers when she was coming from a computer with a Sandy Bridge i7 and one of those hybrid drives that were the rage in 2012-2013. I did a data transfer and gave it to her, and she was disgusted with the speed of the computer with an AMD A6. For her use, the computer was the right fit, but she's used to things loading at the speed of sound, so she liked the idea of investing a bit more and throwing an SSD in. It's been a couple of weeks and I haven't heard her complain.
I had an old lady tell me I was a sexist asshole because her internet was running slow. Nothing was wrong with the computer, but she was dead set on it being the computers fault. She was a fucked up one. Seemed to be more senile, she came in to the store to tell her life story to every person who worked here. Spent a good five hours in the store talking to every person and whenever someone tried to end the conversation, she got all pissed. One of the stories she told me was about how her husband shit in his diaper and smeared it all over the sofa, then slid down like a water slide. Why I needed to know any of this? I don't know to this day. She seems to just be a man-hater.
So one of the touchpads on my Vive Controllers is not clicking properly anymore :( I might get lucky and the store I bought it from is gonna replace it on the spot. At least I wanna just send in the controller. For a while I was afraid I might have to take everything down and return the whole Vive System.

[QUOTE=Zephyrs;51980057]Why didn't she get kicked out of the store?[/QUOTE] Our target demographic is the elderly, so it would have looked really bad. My manager has though talked to her about coming in. I don't see her anymore because she flipped her shit on me when I last told her that her computer was fine, and she refuses to talk to me anymore.
Any tips for getting my i5 2500k to peak performance? I've got an ASUS P8P67-M motherboard and H100i+2 noctua fans for cooling it so cooling isn't a problem. Can't afford a new mobo+cpu as it stands. If anything I could buy a new mobo so I can OC but I'd rather just get the OC working here. I keep finding guides only for P8P67-M PRO which has bios settings I don't have in my bios

Z67 was the overclocking chipset for first gen Sandy Bridge, im not sure why you're using a K CPU without it. Raising the multiplier is the easiest way to overclock and will give you the greatest boost. See how high you can raise it before the system becomes unstable. Then, raise the core voltage in small increments and see how much further the multiplier can be raised. I would not exceed a total increase +0.1v unless you have proper custom watercooling loop.

Honestly multiplier is all you need to adjust, and I'd settle with any stable value above 40. I wouldn't bother with bclk too much, since most people are only able to increases by ~3mhz on average. This won't contribute much more performance on top of your highest stable multiplier found.
Alright I just put it on 40 after moving stuff around but my VCORE is only at 1.3 V when running a burn test feels like I should be able to squeeze it a lot higher, especially since I should settle at around 1.45 V unless I've misunderstood this entire thing

That's part of the reason why people are still on them. Unless you need new connectors (m2, fuckton of sata 3 connections, and the like), or higher memory throughput for something like gaming, there's honestly not [i]that[/i] much reason to upgrade. A golden 2500k that can hit 5GHz is pretty neck and neck with Haswell up to ~4.5Ghz (and that's an above average overclock). [editline]18th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=B!N4RY;51980927]I don't think bclk adjustment was ever useful. What could've been done on Haswell?[/QUOTE] Haswell is when they started really aggressively pulling shit onto the main chip. For "reasons" you can sometimes get a [i]slightly[/i] better overclock by bumping up the bclk a tick or two, then bumping the multiplier a bit less. I personally have slightly better thermals when doing that vs just straight multiplier, but 4.5Ghz is my hard barrier either way. I run at 4.3 with no bclk tweaks because of stability paranoia.
If any of you can help me over Discord to help not clutter this thread that'd be amazing, I'm having a hard time understanding everything and getting it to work. I'm currently running a burn test and am on 80-90C idk why my H100i isn't working harder. [editline]19th March 2017[/editline] My Discord name is ottr#0747
Also, technically you can overclock a non k series chip just a little with a bclk bump. Juuuuuustt a little because anything past a couple of points is going to instantly blow up anything PCI related and crash.
How often are you gonna change your avatar now that you're not constrained to the 200 kb limit us peasants are?

Have to look around at different weird setting names to get the right stuff though[/QUOTE] The P series allowed some limited overclocking. The H series were the budget boards that don't allow it. The Z series is much more flexible though. Edit: well shit where are clocks when you need them.
