Cool, I'll give them a call

 

I got 2 spare copies of 3dmark and primal carnage, free for the next 2 people

 

Anyone want this for free?







I know its old tech but it's free. Otherwise I'm gonna do something explosive with it lol.

 

I thought 3dmark was free?

 

wow two mac books!

 

Nope! I believe it use to be now its pricey because of all the features for benchmarking it contains.

 

lol. Would you like the card?

 

Pretty much. I procrastinate on my own car. Parts will sit for months because I dont have the motivation to slave a few hours on the weekend to put them on. Id much rather be drinking and watching sports on those days.

 

This, can't believe I bought my 780's and i didnt even get a single game with them -_- just stupid benchmark software to stroke my e-***** zzzzz

 

Ahhhhh OK thanks!! I have the old free version
Thank you for the offer but some how my old cards are a bit newer

Nice Mac books though!
Aint that the truth.

 

Haha i'm going to light the card on fire today since it's just a pos (i already knew that)

 

take off the heatsink, clean it, apply peanut butter, reinstall heatsink and run a game. record a video while you are at it. thanks.

 

What ever you do, make a video! Just be sure to hold the camera in landscape !

 

Have fun with that!
Is this speaking from experience lmao? It might be good to show procede the yt video of that guy completely destroying his HP.

 

My belief is that it's not safe unless:

you have one backup on site AND one backup off-site.

My server is just for crap like family pics and home movies of the kids and stuff, so it easily fits on 1TB drives. I installed the OS, then imaged that drive onto my two backup drives, then changed each ID so thefile system doesn't get confused about which is which. One is installed in the same machine and every night a cron job spins it up, does an incremental backup of the main drive and spins it down. Now, when the main drive fails, I just boot the other drive and I'm back up in no time. The 3rd copy does the same thing, but it's in an external enclosure and lives in my cabinet at work. It comes home every month or three to get updated. This is in-case of a house fire, or an electrical issue that might take out the other two drives.

Yours is much larger, so external doesn't work, but you really want to have your 2nd tier of redundancy in a different physical location. House fires are often only in one area of a house and a major electrical issue is going to take out several drives if it takes out one. Having 3 copies all in one server and one physical location is not really any more secure than 2 copies in one server and one physical location.

Also I do not like RAID as backup. Sometimes you really need a time delay... like accidentally hitting delete on a folder that has a TB or 2 in it. In a RAID, it's gone. Nightly backups you can get it easily. This is why I don't like RAID as backup for home. At the very least run a cron job for incremental backup 1-7 times a week rather than an immediate mirror.
