I've been having this issue lately where my pings are absolute shit at night. I have consistent double digit pings during the day but come late night they're as high as 300-400ms. Could anything specific be causing this? I just want to play TF2 at 3AM.

Tell ur dad to stop torrenting Gay porno at 3am
>>55137293
Both my parent's laptops are devoid of internet activity at this time of night. I checked. I wonder if my brother's torrenting shit again. He better not be because last time he wasn't using a proxy and got us in trouble with our ISP. They started blocking all torrent traffic and I had to get a VPN.
So I reset my router, which fixed the problem for all of 5 minutes before the pings went back up into the triple digits. Maybe it's for the best. I really should be in bed. Not that I have anything to do early tomorrow.

Explain this. How are HGST's drives so much more reliable?
>>55137008
Because they have a larger sample size
>>55137008
because it used to be IBM's hard drive division

I've set it so realtemp launches on startup, except that it doesn't. It never does. What gives?
It gives us info that you're one fuckinf winnabby
Jesus christ, do you not maintain your computer well? Why do you have so many start up programs.
>>55136998
Might need some codependencies, or services, to launch before hand.
You can always set it to launch in the registry, and see if that helps.
Gnome or KDE?
Who wins?

So the plane just materializes itself in the middle of nowhere/ocean? What's that all about?
This. We need more threads like this.
>>55137199
I started tracking when the plane was there. The software can't magically guess the previous positions.
>>55137205
I see one probably once every month. But needs to be more often
Yes, we know everything is already from China but in here we discuss the no/low-name cheap shit you see on Gearbest, AliExpress, eBay and similar sites.

why waste an usb port when you can simply use razer surround for free which probably works better
My Redmi Note 3 Pro is now "Processing" for 5 days on Gearbest.
What do?
Thoughts on this?

planning to propose soon and it's 20% off.
I don't really understand jewelry so any fem-chinkers opinions would be appreciated.
Given the same price would a 3.8Ghz dual core or a 2.05Ghz quad core CPU be optimal for gaming?
Going for a budget setup for shit like Civ/XCOM/ETC.
Wait for zen

Don't go AM1. The 5350 is useless for gay men.
>>55136701
Hurr.
Just buy an used intel chip.
Kind of pissed. Fell for the ThinkPad meme and got a P50s.
Love the device and it performs great, but it's been just over a month and the fucking screen bezel is already coming off, so I have to get a replacement. Will Jewnovo ship me a new one before I have to send mine back? Otherwise I might just request a refund and buy something else.
Pic related, but obviously not my device.
>>55136628
Also, can I just glue the bezel down instead of sending it in for service? I want to avoid the pain in the ass for what seems like such a small problem, but can I reliably fix it myself without voiding warranty/damaging the device long-term?
>getting a thinkpad that isn't t, w, or x
oh shit nigger what are you doing
>>55136769
The W doesn't exist anymore retard. It's called the P now.
>Bought the wrong item and didn't even notice until it's almost here
>Bought DDR4 RAM instead of DDR3.
>DDR4 isn't compatible with my CPU
aaa
>>55136638
i5 4670k isn't compatible with ddr4 no? and i dont have a ddr4 mobo
>>55136657
If you upgrade your bios there should be an option for it. Also the memory controller on your cpu will work with ddr3 and ddr4 independently so you will have 2x dual channel so it will be faster.
>>55136673
fuck off
Is there a way to decrease this further without wrecking essential services?
This has a compressed WinSxS folder, no paging, no hibernation, any service that black viper's "bare bones" configuration said to disable was uninstalled (except the OS breaking ones), no features installed other than .net 3.5 support, no drivers for anything the target system doesn't have, all non essential control panel items where removed, all system appearance options disabled, and it's running the lightest possible theme.
I can't understand what's using so much ram, when I add up all the ram usage from the services and processes it's nowhere near as high as 494 MB, and for some reason, it gets higher over time. I only have 32gb of ram I'm playing with, and this vm only uses up to 4, but I still get low physical memory errors from just using photoshop, world machine, and firefox at the same time. Is there any way to force it to stop allocating so much ram?
>>55136498
Increase the size of the swapfile on your host, and maybe enable it in your guest as well. Swap exists for a reason, and disabling it is generally a bad idea.
>>55136540
I'm trying to use as little disk space as possible, along with decreasing ram usage, I don't want to solve the issue of not having enough ram with paging, I want to solve it by decreasing overhead.
Managed to get down to just under 4gb with more compression.
Why are companies that made really amazing laptops like Dells Latitude line, HP's Elitebook line, Lenovo's Thinkpad line all trying to become just slim pieces of shit that don't look like they can survive any type of fall.
I don't think I'll ever replace my e6410 or t420 or even my elitebook.
These laptops always have felt and looked amazing to me.
Do you guys like the newer line of business/enterprise grade laptops and where they are going?
>>55136490
Because the "slim pieces of shit" are actually more durable than thicker, older laptops.
I just got a p50 it's built like a tank with desktop level specs
>>55136550
The P50/70 is a step in the right direction for sure, let's hope the T470 continues in its vein
