    Fiber internet and routers

    Yup, their idea of security is pretty poor. The router sent to me by the ISP is completely preconfigured including my username and password for the Internet. So, just a case of plug it in. There is no admin password by default, and the router config is accessible over wi-fi. The default...

    Fiber internet and routers

    Anyone familiar with this? I now have FTTH, but the free router is a Technicolour tg582n and the Wi-Fi is fairly crap. I could install ethernet cables in the house, or buy a better router. Will any ethernet router work?

    Use JPGs instead of PNGs in guides

    The screenshots need to be originally saved as JPGs, or converted before uploading. Most graphics software will also let you set the amount of compression for a JPG. Most screenshots can be compressed quite a bit without looking bad.

    Fast internet

    Currently paying £16.50 ($28) for 20Mb up and 736Kb with an unlimited amount of data, any time of day. Although I am only connected at 15901 kbps on the upstream due to an old phone cable somewhere in the vicinity.

    Allow me to thank the mindless miners

    It's a fairly easy numbering system. Current nvidia series is 7xx. A mid-range 7 series card would be a GTX 750., top-end 780 or 790. The 8-series is due out sometime in 2014.

    AMD A10 5800K @ 4.48ghz

    Temperature shouldn't be an issue unless you increase the voltage, in which case you'd need increased cooling.

    Xbox One HD graphics blunder

    The situation is looking pretty grim for the Xbox One: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/02/next-metal-gear-solid-runs-1080p-on-ps4-720p-on-xbox-one/ The evidence suggests it is not suited for 1080p game graphics. The 32MB of super-fast eSRAM is also super-small.

    Non-coder tells the world how to code

    One things for sure, it's not for everyone. They should focus their efforts on students who are both interested, and have the right mind for it. Piano lessons would be wasted on some of us, same goes for coding.
