Noticed that my 9900k doesn't seem to idle and stay idle anymore even when I gave it 20min of chilling. Task manager shows less than 5% usage from various stuff. It's definitely not under a lot of load but I'm surprised I don't see cores idling like I could swear I used to. I tend to have a lot of things running in the taskbar but didn't think that would be a huge problem in a pc like mine: PC is properly set in balanced mode and individual cores will bounce down to 800MHz frequently before coming back to 5.0GHz so it's not like c-states aren't enabled or something. I wanted to make sure I didn't have a miner somehow installed so I used malwarebytes which didn't detect anything. Is this still the preferred software for this? Any other ideas? 9900k 32gb RAM Win10 pro

Even when I close those I still have the same issue. How could that be the problem anyways with a 4% load?

If both accounts are local accounts you should be able to log into either without a pw but you'll still have to type in the username I'm pretty sure.

You need to set up windows remote desktop protocol and you should also have that behind a VPN so it doesn't get compromised. That should give you enough to start googling. A worse version of this which is probably more secure (maybe not though I don't actually know) is to use Chrome remote desktop, so you access it via the browser.

doctorfrog posted:I'm a weirdo who replaced all of Windows 10's sounds with my own, and I noticed that they're all low quality mono 22000mhz wavs that play as loud as possible so that they sound like boiled poo poo on any speakers. Even replacing them was a pain, at least one of them won't play at all unless the sound file is located somewhere in the same directory hierarchy as the default sound set, and the system notification would only play properly if the first second of the sound file was silence. Did you make your own sounds? You gotta give us the pack.

Not Wolverine posted:How concerned should I be if my boss purchased about a dozen copies of Office 2019 from eBay? The boxes are shrink wrapped but anyone can do that. What are the odds these keys are legal, or more legal than $5 Windows product keys? I'm totally fine with running a $5 eBay Windows key at home even though I know it's a gray area of the TOS, that is my home system and I don't think Microsoft would even care, but that's Windows not Office. How much does this affect your job? Unless your career would be set back by this I don't understand why you'd be concerned at all. Unless you're expected to install weird software on your home PC or something, you're just using the keys right? How are you personally exposed to this if it ends up being a mistake?

Not Wolverine posted:Ethically, I honestly don't really care, but they are requesting that I install the software, and I am not asking questions about where it was obtained. I only know I was handed a box with a shipping label that said eBay. I think personally this could not come back to me, if anything whoever made the decision to buy questionable software should get in trouble. Is it possible I could be responsible for knowingly installing illegal software? If so, I'm not even sure who enforces software license laws. I am only performing the installs, my defense would be I was given shrink wrapped boxes with COAs and presumably un-used keys. Except there was a key flagged as exceeding the maximum number of installs, a phone call to MS resolved it but it still seems funny. I think at the end of the day you were handed some software and asked to install it. You didn't procure it, you aren't privy to any information that outright implicates you in it being against license. I'd say you're good! doctorfrog posted:Sure, it's just me hitting some buttons on sfxr a couple dozen times and outputting a .WAV for ones that I like. I like my computer to make lots of happy blippy bloopy noises. I may edit them sometime in the future with Audacity to add some fake stereo effects, but Awesome, will take a look when I get home but I was secretly hoping the sounds were derived from your own body and not sfxr.

doctorfrog posted:Just looking for free, simple screenshot software to capture screenshots of games that isn't: The absolute best thing for this and one of the pieces of software I use every day is ShareX. It's beyond a doubt exactly what you're looking for. The default setup actually uploads your screenshot to imgur and puts the link on your clipboard automatically but I'm sure you can have it just save locally. You get tons of options for what area you want to screenshot, you can apply things like blurs or mosaics before the screenshot finishes, etc. It's super sleek. Everyone should have it.

Being able to at least select a format and output directory is nice to have. The only issue I ever have with it in screenshotting games is when CTRL does something in the game that you don't want screenshot (the default screenshot hotkey is CTRL-PrtScr). Otherwise yeah it's so fantastic, especially for sharing stuff in discords etc. It takes literally less than 2s to screenshot it, tab over to the chat, and paste it.

It's almost always best to use a router of your own and bridge the ISP modem into it. More secure, less of a target IMO.

To add to the above post, I've always been able to call my ISP and ask them to put the router into bridge mode and they know exactly what I'm talking about and do it immediately (remotely) and it's hassle free. I've tried to do it myself and it's possible but a lot of the settings are locked out to you because they don't want users trying to fix problems and causing bigger ones.

DerekSmartymans posted:I have a checkbook and a prepaid debit card. I can deposit cash on the card for a $3 fee (up to $5000, money available immediately) or an emergency check reload up to $2500 + a 5% fee (funds available after about 15 minutes 24/7). I hate the fee, but it’s happened before that I need ~$50 or so on a Saturday night and I don’t find a % fee unmanageable for that amount. I don’t even know my bank account number or have any access to my money because my mother is my Representative Payee for my payments for the last 20-odd years and I asked her to set it up that way so I don’t give away my monthly check to homeless people anymore I appreciate this is probably not a made up situation but that sounds a lot like one? I guess if you didn't just give entire paycheques randomly to people you'd be considered responsible enough to have a normal banking situation or something but it feels like I fell on the wrong side of an unmedicated poster a little bit. I hope things improve for you my goon!

I have a win10 home server which isn't running any fancy NAS software or anything like that, just a small cheap PC with a big HDD that is accessed via RDP, running a plex server. Every now and then, maybe once every two months, I find it's turned off. I suspect it's windows update forcing a restart but then it doesn't automatically log in to the windows account and maybe shuts down after sitting in the login state for x hours? It doesn't seem to coincide to windows updates on my main PC all the time. When I spot check it with hwinfo64 it's never overheating, seems to be running pretty normally, don't really see anything concerning. How do you check to see what it was that gave the last command to turn off/restart a PC? Thanks.

Klyith posted:AFAIK the only thing the login screen changes w/r/t power settings is turning off the screen after 1 minute, but I'm not totally sure on that point. This is perfect - thanks so much. Interesting, looks like I have some investigation to do:  I had actually uninstalled Radeon because that server is using an AMD Athelon 5350 which I don't really think needs the separate driver suite (integrated AMD HD 8400). I wonder if having that was causing conflicts somewhere. Or maybe the integrated GPU just threw a random error as the system lost power or something.

I use deluge, a month ago Windows defender decided silently it's a BAD REPUTATION SOFTWARE and shadow banned the executable and I had to go in there to undo all that, turn that feature off, and reinstall deluge (on all three of my machines that have it). I find it really great, I just wish it had a speed graph so I could take a look at it.

Khanstant posted:What's wrong with screen-snip? It used to work every time, exactly how you'd expect. Now though, it randomly decides to not work and instead just randomly puts a yellow border around one or more of your monitors and you have to click the screen snip button 2-4 more times to actually get i to work. why did they add RNG to windows and how do we turn it off? IMO ShareX is the best solution for this, it's incredible. If you're looking to try a replacement.

I totally get why you'd feel that way but sharex has been SO GOOD at what it does that I've had it running in my taskbar for several years now - it's earned it's place. It also automatically uploads to imgur and puts a link on your clipboard so it's super good for sharing stuff with someone else. It also keeps a 'history' of stuff you've screenshot to some extent which I've found useful.

I have to add about 10,000 punctuation marks to some documents, and I want to just use a mouse button to click --> add period, click --> add comma, etc.. I see your apple avatar but if you have a mouse with extra buttons on it you can generally bind these within the mouse's software (razer synapse, etc) to whatever you want. I rebind extra mouse buttons that normally control sensitivity to volume up/down instead, for example. You could easily bind these to whatever keystroke you like.
