"OK, we do know that our subject nominally requires Ubuntu and some form of gcc, but...nobody really uses Ubuntu, so Windows and Visual Studio is also OK...and in fact, it's preferred in this particular campus." |
Part of the class involves usage of Fedora, but I installed that into a virtual machine as well.

I learned this weekend if you want your YouTube video to get a decent amount of views you should post it to Reddit. I got 1600 views in 24 hours.

And, if running on Windows 8 or later, stick to windowed mode or accept that the frame rate might end up effectively capped at 30 no matter how fast it can actually draw, even with the software renderer. (For some reason, pre-DirectX 8.x (or was it 9.0?) apps that are running full screen seem unusually handicapped in terms of frame rate no matter what I do on my system. (SimCity 4 was DX7.)) |
I got a new laptop you guys!
I spent $215 and got an ASUS notebook that was hardly used at all. It has a Silvermont Celeron (N2815), iGPU, 16:9 768p display, and 4GiB of RAM. I have another 4GiB card from my old Lenovo and may very well double this thing's RAM with that :o I think when I fried my netbook I partially damaged the SSD in it as well, so it looks like I may not be able to have this thing totally maxed out. :\ |

So, I rearranged the tiles on my phone last night...

And yes, no scrolling. :P |

As for Windows 10, I don't really care. I just use 8.1, and that's that. If I need extra performance for some things I could put Linux back. |

As for "audio ripping badly", what do you mean by that? Windows Vista and later versions have provisions to prevent audio skipping as much as possible during media playback, and I'm willing to bet that something is really off. (Try using Windows Media Player to play your music, to see if it's just your app.) |
Sometimes audio skips can occur because of CPU/RAM lag as well, depending on how much is in use. I've noticed that with my desktop at times, but it usually resolves if I close other programs.
|
My MacBook does have the occasional audio skip when i'm watching YouTube or something, but it's not something that really becomes a problem. But when they cause the computer to freeze up entirely and need to restart, then it sucks.

Android USB tethering + Virtual Router = hotspot (using staff wifi) for my 3DS. The student wifi is as unstable as is, and it's the only network my 3DS can connect to. :|

As some of you may or may not know, I started a new job this week with a huge company. I looked up the specs of the laptop I will be getting assigned to me... I'm honestly scared. The laptop is what HP calls a mobile workstation, and for good reason. It retails for more than $4,400.00 USD! Benchmarks on the CPU are almost as high as I my Ivy bridge desktop i7! It also has 32GB of RAM... on a laptop! If this is what I have been missing out by not working in a big corporate IT, I should of joined a long time ago! (YMMV) |
It seems that every time I open iTunes, there's an update to it. I really wish there was a way that iTunes updates could be performed without having to restart my computer...

I found a little workaround so I'll try this: http://www.ircsystems.net/blog/2012/09/27/updating-itunes-without-restarting-windows/ I only use iTunes for syncing of my iPods. Other than that, I use Winamp for my music needs. |
I use iTunes on my computer for music, grown too used to it to change. I need to reformat my iPod sometime though.. it's so old (2006 old) that it makes iTunes freeze almost every time I move on to the next song when it's plugged into my laptop. :'(

I've been seeing a lot of members coming into this thread recently looking for help for their tech problems. Sure, this is the section to come to if you cannot find an answer, but I want to keep in mind that this thread is to not be used with getting tech help. It is meant for more casual and laid-back chit chat that rolls along with a certain topic. Please refer to the opening post in the thread on how to go about using it for its intended purpose. I realize that this is a sudden change, but I feel that it's for the better of users at the same time. The [Help] prefix exists for a reason when creating new threads within the section, and I'd like to see it get used for its intended purpose. Plus, if you post your request for tech help in here, it might not get seen by people who may be able to help, or it simply gets skipped over by ongoing previous discussion. Please, please create a new thread when asking for help, or advice. If you have any questions regarding this change, please do not hesitate to contact me. :) |

I bought a new backpack to deal with my stupidly large work laptop. Gotta say though. I'm loving the new backpack. It's a Timbuk2.
|
I went in the exact opposite direction when I got my Macbook last year. I used to carry my old laptop in a messenger bag and I hated it. Now my Macbook is small enough that it fits in a sleeve and I've found that I carry it with me to work and other places a lot more. It helps that the battery life is fantastic and I don't have to haul a charger with me either.

I don't really have a work computer but I bought this nice $350 Acer Aspire XC desktop almost 2 months ago. I mainly use it for steam games and 3D modeling, and soon to try game developing. It can run almost all my games well enough to be playable, unlike my older $200-ish laptop. I do need to upgrade that ram to a 4x2 set so I can have that beautiful 8 gb of RAM and eventually even update the graphics card.
