I fucking hate people who have a laptop and set fucking power-on passwords. Nooo, can't set the BIOS password which you can easily crack. You gotta make it so the entire fucking machine can't boot until you enter a password. Then you fucking forget the password.

Speaking of BIOS passwords, an Acer laptop my friend got forced me to put a password on the BIOS just so I could disable secure boot. what good does that do anyone if there's not already a password

Oh lovely the power supply appears to be on the way out too. On the positive I now know for sure the motherboards surge protection is working. Let's see if I can make it to three components broken in a week. [editline]25th July 2016[/editline] This does end the reign of fermi because I'm not trusting the power supply to handle such a high power room heater.

[QUOTE=kaze4159;50770840]WYSIWYG is a hell of a drug[/QUOTE] Moodle doesn't appear to be WYSIWYG. Theme styles are all served via PHP scripts to allow for minification and logos so they wouldn't display in an editor. This is the extent of theme changes you can make from within the site, everything else is just editing CSS files manually. [t]https://helifreak.duckdns.org/image/20160725114416933.png[/t] University Moodle runs like shit, I wonder if it's because they turned all the performance options off - styles are minified by default but the ones served from the uni are the original ones with whitespace out the arse.

So after doing a W10 clean install on my laptop, the volume on things like youtube videos are really low. I tried googling, but everyone's fixes of "Make sure volume mixer sounds are all up", "enable X setting in the properties", and "reinstall drivers" doesn't work. System sounds are loud, but not things like youtube weather on chrome, firefox, or edge. It's pissing me off so much.

We installed new Sandy Bridge based computers with Windows XP in 2014 for use on production lines. Disabled the battery alarm on UPSes "cause that is the standard procedure". Running production systems on ancient IBM PCs which was upgraded to the latest IBM DOS anno 1992, and still hooked up to a 24k bps modem with some Norton remote management software. Someone could have literally stopped most of the company's production lines by WAR DAILING and then messing with this single old computer. I usually joked that we should rename our department to: "Department of data archaeology".
