I was typing and I made a mistake. I tried to hit ctrl+Z to quickly delete the last word I'd written, I know I should've just hit ctrl+backspace but it's not a habit of mine yet.
Anyway, the last word I'd written was "home" and I pressed the wrong key or keys because instead of deleting the text, it fucking autocompleted it and turned it into fucking "Homesmut" including the capital H. I know the word wasn't on my clipboard and I never even fucking knew that was a word, so it was certainly not in my history, internet or otherwise

What I want to know is, what the fuck did I press to make my text autocomplete? I am using windows 10. If any other additional information is needed I can totally share because I really want to know what happened

When buying software for a specific number of computers, how do these companies/softwares KNOW how many computers you're trying to install on?
Is it a hard drive thing? Is it an IP address thing? Will using a VPN fuck with it?

To add to this; If I by backup software that only works with one computer, how does that work? Won't I need to install it on the new computer to restore the backed-up one?
I'm looking to buy Acronis, if that helps give my question more context. I just don't want to buy it for 1 Computer and then be unable to use the software on a new one when I actually need to transfer/back up my shit.
>>
>>54160654

>>54160666
You need to connect to their servers to authenticate the installation. Then they register the number of instalations...

>>
>>54160772
The website says 1 computer, not 1 installation. I assumed that meant I could at least uninstall it from one computer and authenticate it on another or some shit.

Acronis is computer backup software, so I don't understand how it can work with only one installation. You install it, back up your files regularly, but if your computer/hard drive dies and you need to back it all up to a new one, you'd need to buy another copy of it just to restore the images? That sounds retarded.
>>
>>54160800
Thank you.
>>
>>54160806
I assume you can install and uninstall on 1 computer as many times as you want. But not replace the registered computer.

To solve this question, you need to ask directly to the company, or read the license terms.
>>
>>54160838
Damn. I was hoping it would be some simple, universal thing. Guess I'll have to go read through their shit.

DRM IS retarded, man. Sim City (2013) couldn't be played, even on singleplayer, because the company decided it wanted to check every second if your game is original and authenticated, so you couldn't play it even on singleplayer, if there was no internet connection.

I want to do the following things with it:
I want it to be bootable, give me a grub menu and list out the OS I have installed on it, and I want them to be persistent. It'll probably be Ubuntu, Mint, and Win 10. Another thing I'd like to do is have a partition that mounts like a regular usb drive when plugged in.

Depends on the size of the drives
Larger drives means more time to rebuild the array after a failure, meaning more likely to have another failure within that time frame.

Also number of drives
Having more drives in an array also increases the likelihood of a double failure

Stupid question.
Randomly, some Youtube videos just constantly buffer after a couple min. This onlly happens at low resolution though, if I bump it up to 720 or above it's fine. I just don't really feel the need to listen to audio only shit in the background on youtube at that kind of resolution.

Firefox and Flash are up to date. I've got 200mb down speed.

What kind of difference would a discrete graphics unit make to a laptop? specifically modern units. Aside from being able to play games, is there any benefit to having one? I'm a CS/EE(CE) major if that's important. What about the downsides beside higher price?

There are a number of GPU accelerated tasks but most are not particularly relevant to CS/EE
Downside would be higher power consumption/lower battery life

I have Asus Maximus VIII Ranger as my motherboard and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it, with little success.

My processor is the new i7-6700K if that matters.

I'm getting my USB devices to work during the install, but it still complains that it cannot find the optical drive drivers so it won't proceed with the installation. What's quite interesting is that I don't have one connected to my computer, since my old one was still IDE and the new motherboard doesn't quite support that :)

Now apparently this is quite the general error message when some drivers are missing. Is there any way to find out what drivers are missing?

I made a boot-able USB install stick with the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool.

The user manual for the motherboard had some guides, but they dealt with the USB 3.0 driver issues only.

tl;dr: Windows 7 installation on skylake processor via USB needs some drivers (for ????) and won't install.

Any ideas?

I'm about to embark on a large PC upgrade, where a motherboard, a CPU, a graphics card and quite possibly a PSU will get replaced. I currently have a working 500W PSU. I'm trying to understand if I could keep it for the upgraded build, with the new GPU and all.
The graphics card in question is one recommended to me in a previous thread, which is Gigabyte's GV-R939WF2-8GD. I looked up its wattage, and Gigabyte "recommends" a 600W PSU. Every other site just copy-pasted the recommendation. I also tried calculating the power consumption on a PSU calculator and it gave me less than 500.

>Is that recommendation a solid requirement?
>Does it apply to a single-card configuration, or does it assume a crossfire configuration is at hand?

I'm looking for a coding font.

What I want:
1 Legibility (l <=> I, 0 <=> O etc)
2 Pixel perfect (all vertical and horizontal strokes align to the pixel grid)
3 NOT a bitmap font, meaning it can still be antialiased
(4) A bold variation would be really cool, but it's not that important.

Pic related is an illustration of what I'm looking for. Left the vectorized glyph, right renderings. I would just do it myself, but I want to check whether somebody has done it already.

I've borrowed an installation image from a friend. The USB boots into the installation menu just fine but it seems that Windows 7 image a bit of a problem with the new Intel 170 chipset when installing via USB. There are a lot of half-arsed methods of getting around that but their success rate is low.

Even though it does boot from USB, you need to have the USB 3.0 drivers on the USB/installation image regardless.My best bet is https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25476/Windows-7-USB-3-0-Creator-Utility later today. At worst you can get an internet DVD drive from somewhere and burn a DVD with the Windows 7 installation. This seems to be the image http://pefel.net/forum/thread/223/windows-7-ultimate-sp1-x32-x64-original-dvd-iso-updates-2016-torrent-download-free-activator-tested/

This isn't an issue with Windows 8/10.

>>54165585
You don't need a 600W PSU if you're going for a single-GPU system. Most of the time a 500W PSU is solid if you don't plan to overclock your CPU/GPU/CF/SLI.

For Corsaid, CS~RM < CX < HXi

Top tier PSUs include the G2/Toughpower series. Seasonic/Antec also make great PSUs.

Like I said, I have a Corsair CX500 in my currently disabled PC. In the foreseeable future, I'm going to use an Intel i5-6600 and a single Gigabyte Radeon R9 930 card. No overclocking, and no CrossFire because I'm a cheap pleb who wants to keep his components chill and long lasting.
Can I keep my PSU in the new configuration? What happens if the PSU is not capable of supplying the wattage the system requires, what are the signs?
>>
>>54165885
>CX500
It's under requirements. But might work?
>>
>>54165885
Use http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator to see how your build fares in terms of power requirements. I think the CX500 will do just fine. You pay good money for long-lasting power supplies and the CX is alright. Your system would. The 390 is around ~250-300W. You have sufficient headroom for everything else. Be sure that the 12V rail has the proper amperage first.

If the PSU, assuming it's a good onem is not capable of supplying the wattage it'll shut down. If you get a shit/cheap PSU it might fry your components and/or explode/fire hazard.

It's your risk man. That thing puts out 38 on the 12v, that's less then the gpu alone wants. It'll only use that at max, but you're supposed to plan for more then you need at max, not less.

>>
>>54166913
uh...

I don't really understand what you're saying. You do know that you can buy individual computer components and basically build your own PC right? I don't know the price of the iMac but you can basically buy the exact same components (save maybe the motherboard which is inconsequential really when you're talking high-end -- heck my $150 motherboard has 1x thunderbolt + 4xUSB 3.0 + 1x usb 3.1) making up the system. I'm p sure it would cost less. You can buy a pre-built PC but that's pointless.

You don't buy apple computers for their performance really.
