so working on a subnet calculator assignment for my network administration class never before have i done such terrible things with bitwise operators [editline]22nd March 2017[/editline] also uint8_t is now my favorite data type
I've got a Casio Compass/Watch that's built like a tank and the battery hasn't run dry the 4 years I've owned it.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;51998973] never before have i done such terrible things with bitwise operators [editline]22nd March 2017[/editline] also uint8_t is now my favorite data type[/QUOTE] i agree with you completely on both claims. for a project i'm currently working on, i have to throw in a bit of pointer abuse into the pile to unmarshal bytes from a memory buffer into integers of various lengths. the final result produces abomination like this: [code] //Extract the frame headers frame.preamble = *((uint16_t*) &raw.buf[0]); frame.dst = (*((uint8_t*) &raw.buf[2])) >> 4; frame.src = (*((uint8_t*) &raw.buf[2])) & 0x0F; frame.size = *((uint8_t*) &raw.buf[3]); [/code]
If you're trying to boot an old AMD Windows XP system into a VM, do you need the host PC to be a AMD or can you alter some file to make it Intel?
[QUOTE=Scratch.;51999037]Nah[/QUOTE] Oh my bad then.

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;51998942]I was able to access just about everything from my resort in Cuba 2 years ago, I guess they have two separate connections for tourists rich hotels and native citizens. [editline]22nd March 2017[/editline] Did you not make that edit? I wasn't talking about posting IP[/QUOTE] Yeah resorts are a different beast. Cuba has only started getting real Internet outside of the neighborhoods of the political elite and public access like cafes in major areas fairly recently.

Today at work I was tasked with deleting 4 databases for a client, 1 wasn't there and another was empty. Their server is also slow as fuck and I'm not really sure why. They have 20 cores allocated to the VM and load doesn't ever seem to go over 25%, only 40 GB of RAM but there's always 10GB+ free when I check.

[QUOTE=garychencool;51998630]AVCHD is annoying when you want to film continuously. Sure the camcorder can do that but the codec it picks is garbage and splits the files up and doesn't seamlessly split them up, causing a few frames of missing video and audio in between each file. Like fuck.[/QUOTE] XAVC-S :smug:
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;51999045]If you're trying to boot an old AMD Windows XP system into a VM, do you need the host PC to be a AMD or can you alter some file to make it Intel?[/QUOTE] It doesn't matter. But virtualizing a physical machine is generally done while its running, if you did that then you're good. If you din't, then windows XP will generally plug and play some 'somewhat compatible' drivers on to the vmware stuff, which if you're lucky should be enough to boot the thing. Idk about other Virtual machine hosts.
but I remember there was some issue where an XP install wouldn't boot if you put the drive from an AMD machine in an Intel machine.
[QUOTE=RoboChimp;51999867]but I remember there was some issue where an XP install wouldn't boot if you put the drive from an AMD machine in an Intel machine.[/QUOTE] It really shouldn't matter when its running under a VM, the environment will just handle it as the middleman. What you're talking about mostly applied to when changing the physical hardware, it does still happen in some cases when moving from AMD to Intel and vice versa when not using clean installs. Windows is a funky beast when it comes to hardware changes, sometimes changing just the motherboard to another identical motherboard will cause it to not boot due to it not liking something while other times I've taken a HDD with a full install from one machine, put it into another machine with completely different hardware and its perfectly fine.
[QUOTE=Warship;51999722]XAVC-S :smug:[/QUOTE] Too bad the cameras that were used are old and all AVCHD. Solution would be to record the SDI out via external video recorder since that would give you one single file.
Wow, I am somehow typing this from my desktop, and the graphics card hasn't even crashed yet.

Couldn't get drivers for the Ethernet ports though :v.

Btw, I forgot to post, but Linus literally took the idea from this thread and did the whole 'pretend this Ryzen is another one' thing.
But like everyone did videos and articles on that idea. Everyone stole it from everyone, IMO
I built a PC for my ex and I used a spare 2.5" drive that still had Windows on it from my school laptop. Windows 10 booted with the old install no issues, and was only missing chipset and graphics drivers.

Why would it not boot? It's all on the same architecture
My brother and I share almost exactly hardware (next series up motherboard) Plugged in my hard drive one day when coming home for the weekend from living at uni Windows wasn't activated on his machine, was a new machine, just put him on pre release builds Got a notification to activate it at 10:30 at night, so I did, Indian call centre, activated it no problem Go home whenever, Windows still works on my machine to this day, So does his, we're both still on the insider builds, sure it turns his pc on to update at 1am, but he doesn't sleep in the house. And that's how we got a free copy of windows
[QUOTE=LennyPenny;52000727]Why would it not boot? It's all on the same architecture[/QUOTE] Drivers can conflict sometimes causing a BSOD. It's improved over the years though.
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52000385]Btw, I forgot to post, but Linus literally took the idea from this thread and did the whole 'pretend this Ryzen is another one' thing.[/QUOTE] I doubt Linus frequents these forums, and either it seems like a pretty obvious idea? Kinda surprised everyone and their mum hasn't done this yet.

I remember using one of my keys to activate a computer I was repairing and it asked if I used the key multiple times. Just enter "No" and you got yourself an easy activation code.
