General Computer Thread

^^^Yeah might be better not mess with it, but jyst out of curiosity did the phone come with any software that needed to be installed on a pc?

Nope. No special software.... It was just a G21 in the box with cable and charger. Nokias today don't do special software at all for their phones in the box that you have to install. Older models like my 9210 did, god I miss that phone that was a great little phone, and my N91 but neither of them will run on our current networks.
 
I don't know if things are starting to go extreme or really really really stupid with the nVIDIA 4090.

Starting with 4090 at $US2000 and then adding a water cooling block that's nearly $US500

Not to mention the design of some modem motherboards means the card won't with the such a cooler.

I’m having problems with my MKII Abacus overheating, do you think that this guy can help me fit a heat sink? I could run it under a tap?

Nvidia really do seem to be having all kinds of troubles lately, but I'm not sold on Jayz videos either because sometimes it just seems he likes to blow hot air.

Well, I went to visit this today…. Anyone want to take any guesses as to what it is? View attachment 34239
I will give you all a clue. One day to the omnipotent and all powerful AI, this will be what Voyager 6 was to… V’Ger. :D

Very stylish computer for a bachelor pad :D

Easy, the inside of our very first 26in colour tv circa 1975, as i remember the repair man from the DER rentals removing the back of the tv and this is what was inside it. Lol
 
I just installed a PNY 250GB 3D NAND SSD to act as my emergency rescue disk. It has all of my settings saved, as well as various distros should I choose to reinstall. This will make it easier and much faster for me to recover in the event of a drive failure, or just me screwing up something truly horribly in Linux. :D
 
Prices on RAM have been dropping lately, thank goodness, and so I just added RAM to my system, for a grand total of 64 gigs of American Cheese DDR4 RAM. This girl should be good for the long haul now, especially if components surge again.

Anyone here remember the hassle we had in the 90s with Sony Rootkits?

I do. We don't have so many rootkit issues any more, though now we have the issue of anti-cheat systems, which are almost as invasive. Easy Anti-Cheat, for example, gets kernel level access to your system. This time around, though, people seem to have less of a problem with it. :/

It's best to have a seperate Computer for gaming, and one for normal productivity work.

Best? Probably, but not economically feasible for many. My system is my everything system. I use it for tasks, media, gaming, the whole caboodle. The idea of having to use separate computers just so one of my games doesn't snoop in my (secured) folders shouldn't be a necessary one. The onus should be on publishers not to overreach with draconian anti-cheat methods that don't even work anyway.

Then have seperate boot drives and run multiple OS on the same machine.

Nah, I got away from that for a reason. I don't like running multiple OSes on a single system. Some people are just fine with multi-booting but, again, it shouldn't be necessary just to play a game in the hopes that a kernel level system isn't being used to leak data elsewhere and, again, for something that doesn't even really work.
