Was going to play Blood Dragon because I was missing an achievement but I don't really consider these framerates playable.

[QUOTE=Zephyrs;50508569]Why not just have enough RAM? Either way I'm hitting a hard barrier.[/QUOTE] No matter how much RAM you have, there's still the possibility you could exceed max capacity. Furthermore, if you have a great deal of RAM and it's full, you're probably doing something important, no? I'd rather just put up with losing a couple gigs of hard drive space than risk crashing my system/application during a critical job because I'm out of memory. In addition, tablet PCs and netbooks with low RAM that can't be upgraded are pretty common these days. There's plenty of reasons to justify the page file being enabled by default. You're always free to make it smaller or disable it entirely for yourself. That argument is about as good as "why not just have a big enough hard drive to where the page file isn't an annoyance?"
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;50517616]What exactly is the deal with Project Scorpio? 4k 60hz? Is this thing going to cost $1000USD?[/QUOTE] Be carerull, they probably will be sneaky with it. In the announcement, they never said it can do 4K @ 60. It can do 4K and 60 fps, but probably 4k @ 30 and 1080 @ 60 or something like that. Either that or I am missing information.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;50517730]I'm giving Amazon Cloud Drive and Arq 5 a go. ACD is $60 per year for unlimited storage (People have uploaded 50TB and amazon said "everything looks fine"). Arq is a one time fee of $50. Seems to have much better file filter systems in place, no file limit or file system limit. It can back up network shares or external drives. No timed deletion like CP or BB, never deletes files from old backups because... it doesn't have to. I can set when to backup, when to validate, when to stop, have it run a script before or after the backup. Since it's one ACD account, I can buy multiple Arq copies in bulk and have them all connect to the account and also restore on their own. Also has basic drag and drop restores out of the application. My big thing though is how easy is it to find the file I need. And also is it possible to setup "Backup sets" which will let me prioritize old files vs new ones. Along with that the UI is very basic, not just aesthetically, but I feel it needs more information. It says which folder it's backing up, but not which file. Also doesn't show a speed, just how much it's backed up so far of how much data it's found (still scanning). Next is that, just like with crashplan, I wish it could tell me which files were backedup. Which aren't on the computer and which aren't on amazon yet. [editline]14th June 2016[/editline] Nevermind, with v5, they made it per user. 50 bucks and I can setup every computer I own to be backed up to a single $60 per year account unlimited. Damn.[/QUOTE] I would be interested to see how it goes for you. Previously I was bitching about Google Drive and was recommended Amazon Cloud Storage.

[QUOTE=garychencool;50518247]I would be interested to see how it goes for you. Previously I was bitching about Google Drive and was recommended Amazon Cloud Storage.[/QUOTE] Right now, it's very fast, but setting to "adaptively" use my upload, which I assumed was basically low priority routing like shuts down my internet. So I set a regular cap. I'd like to set a schedule where it can go like 10mbps, and where I'd like to sit at 5. I'll keep things updated though. It has LZ4 compression and full de-dupe and uses significantly less ram and CPU than crashplan did. [editline]14th June 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;50517908]I could get you to send me your drives. I'd have it uploaded it just under 6 days.[/QUOTE] Honestly, it's backed up before you know it. Less than two months is pretty fine I'd say. Took me 18 months to push 9TB to crashplan because their fucking servers are so slow. Assuming it goes fullspeed the whole time I wouldn't really be worried about it. [editline]14th June 2016[/editline] I'm looking into other solutions for ACD as a destination. I really want easy to restore, lightweight, and smarter controls. Since it's a two parter I can always just use another solution front-end.

I don't know what is going on with Windows 10, sometimes the Windows key gets stuck and a reboot would be needed. Next time it happens, I'll force close some processes to find out what is actually causing it.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;50518038]I'm so anti-monopolization it's not even funny. But I'd settle for Google Fiber if possible :v:.[/QUOTE] Muni fiber or bust. Honestly I'd rather not have the same company provide my access AND my content.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;50518469]You could say. A watchful ACD never backs up. [sp]I admit that's a really cringy attempt at twisting the "A watchful kettle never boils"[/sp][/QUOTE] Watched, not watchful, but yes you're right. Distract yourself from the upload and it's no problem at all.
Got my Dell P1913, decided to not use it at work because someone has been five finger discounting equipment and I figured in light of thievery, bringing my own equipment into work is not exactly tasteful. But the cool thing is, in portrait orientation, it's exactly the same height as my HP 27xi. And now I have triple monitors at home!
Well darn, I've officially been limited to 50/50 on my home internet.

[QUOTE=Makol;50519975]Mine arrives tomorrow :dance:[/QUOTE] Nice, they're actually great little monitors. Looks just a bit off in portrait, but I think it's a TN panel so not exactly uncommon. Still usable though! Comes with all of the cables except DisplayPort, of course.
[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;50518203]No matter how much RAM you have, there's still the possibility you could exceed max capacity.[/QUOTE] You can exceed the maximum capacity of anything. No matter what it's an arbitrary cap. Using your reasoning, why not just buy a dedicated 4TB drive and use it as nothing but swap 'just in case'? If you have enough RAM that you don't use swap space, it's not worth having it at all.
[QUOTE=Revenge282;50519883]I can only get 10/1 at my home, unless I switch to Comcast. Don't feel bad... (Should I switch to Comcast? :suicide:)[/QUOTE] Luckily mine is free of any caps, throttling, or cost.

[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;50520755]That's not what I said at all nor is that the case but alright :v:[/QUOTE] When taken to it's logical conclusion, it is. You say, why not add a few more GB of buffer as a what if scenario. Well, why not add a few more on top of that? And that? And that? etc, etc, etc. One way or another you get to a point where you are deciding that there's an arbitrary cap. I simply put the arbitrary cap on my RAM, since I have enough of it. If you don't have enough RAM to reliably not hit the cap, sure use swap space. That doesn't change the fact that 1:1 parity for automatic management is fucking retarded.
:tinfoil: Skype just opened itself (From being completely closed) without any user interaction at the exact same time on my and my significant other's computers. What the flying shit. Is Skype haunted?

Nothing related to Skype in there for either of us...
Skype was a program secreted by Satan's asshole. I can't wait until Discord adds in video so I can uninstall this garbage for good and never touch it again.
I remember when skype was awesome. I remember when it would run on a 233mhz P1 but required hardware accelerated audio, no shitty AC97 CODEC's.
Is there a low-bandwidth video chat application out there? Low bandwidth like, say between the US and Kuwait? I'd like as smooth a connection as possible.
[QUOTE=WastedJamacan;50521664]Is there a low-bandwidth video chat application out there? Low bandwidth like, say between the US and Kuwait? I'd like as smooth a connection as possible.[/QUOTE] Most modern programs will scale with the bandwidth as they are designed with mobile phone networks in mind. Your biggest problem with that distance however is going to be latency, jitter and dropped packets. Depending on the connection in Kuwait, its just going to inherently skip and drop sometimes, even with a hardline. I just did a pingtest to Jerusalem and even that was 400 ms latency and nearly 60 ms jitter.

I hate discord so much. It's great that it has integration with a bunch of things, since it will push things like teamspeak to have them, but everything else about it is crappy.
guys we should just all use facebook group chats
