  1. ​I don't.

    See that's one benefit of not trusting my password to 3rd parties. Things like this and, even worse, Gator are non-issues for me.

    ​That's a fair enough stance, I suppose. I can certainly see where you're coming from. (Gator is an abomination, that goes without saying.)

    For me personally, coupled with 2-factor auth on both my lastpass and main email accounts, the benefits, (convenience, along with enabling me to use 12-20 character passwords made of random garbage on every site), outweigh the risks. I was contemplating maybe even adding a yubikey into the mix.

    What do you use? Keypass?

  2. GUYS!
    LEGO WORLDS!

    STEAM! EARLY ACCESS!

    CHECK IT OUT! IT'S AWESOME! ONLY €/$15/£12! (relatively)DIRT CHEAP!​

    I would, but I just got a new laptop, so I'm a tad out of justification for spending more money right now.

    Anyways, WOO! New laptop! I now can play Warframe and Besieged and LoL and DOTA and Mirror's Edge and Sanctum and HAWKEN and Bit.Trip Runner, (No, that honestly didn't run well on old laptop. Really poor optimization.), and Sanctum 2, and Element4l and...and...etc.

    No, planetside 2 still doesn't run play-ably. I don't know what else I expected though, honestly.

    It's got a 2.7 Ghz 2620M in it, along with 8GB of RAM and a Nvidia NVS 4200M. So, nothing earth-shaking, but a nice step from the old laptop with the NVS 160M in it.

  3. If it's just static files, I'd recommend GitHub Pages. It's free, it can be hooked to a custom domain really easily, and it gives you practically unlimited storage (I think there's a repo limit somewhere around 10 GB, but you can just stick some of the content in another repo if you ever hit it; it shows up as another folder).

    ​I should really learn how to work github's more advanced features, shouldn't I. Maybe I'll have to get you to help me with that.

     

    Anyways, new topic. Milk.

     

    Skim vs 1% vs 2% vs whole?

    (I honestly prefer whole.)

  4. You do remember there was flooding a couple year ago that wiped out like 1/3rd the platter production capacity for like a year, right?

    Drive prices rose to meet scarcity, capacity returned then overshot, now there's probably a glut driving prices down.

    ​Ahh, true. I had forgotten about that. Hopefully they don't go back up, I'm loving this.

  5. ​skylake? HBM? what are those? 

    ​Skylake is Intel's new generation of CPUs. Supposed to be some non-trivial performance gains this time around. Even if I don't end up getting one, it'll make the previous generation cheaper, which is always nice.

    HBM is this fancy new memory AMD's rolling out soon that is super tiny, supposedly takes considerably less power, and has a prodigiously wide bus size (1024-bit, IIRC), for great I/O. I'm fairly interested in seeing what they do with this, and even if it doesn't 100% live up to all the hype, it still sounds like it'll give AMD a much-needed way to compete better with Nvidia. (Personally, I'm hoping they stick it in integrated GPUs and start absolutely murdering Intel in integrated laptop graphics.)

    ​I'm not too sure about DX12, it probably won't be as big as we think.

    ​I'm somewhat optimistic given that Microsoft's other projects have been looking pretty good. I rather like the jenky stuff they're trying to do like running integrated laptop graphics and a discrete card in tandem. This + windows 10 could bring some nice changes. I guess we'll just have to sit back and see what happens.

    Anyways, this new Kitty Jail thread is missing something...

     

    Ah, there it is.

    Also, when did hard drives get so freaking cheap?

     

  6. ​I don't know how it happens, but if I try to quote someone it will sometimes create a quoteception with some unrelated earlier post. I could delete the past ones, but not this one for some reason.  I don't know how the new quotes work :<

    ​Me either. About half the time I try to quote someone, it brings up a draft of some random previous post where I quoted someone and then inserts the quote into that.

    Anyone know if we're still going to be moving to Xenforo? Or is that not the plan anymore?

  7. ​Wait, you didn't get the game-breaking infinite turn pathing error thing? HOW?

    Also, would any of you be up for some sweet alien on human multiplayer action sometime? I think you can do human on human too if you're into that sort of thing.

    ​No, never played xcom, I was just making a joke because you quoted me for some reason.

  8. I apologize for playing Xcom. Wait what?

    Actually, I've been wanting to play Valkaria Chronocles, but my toaster runs it at like 15 fps making an already slow-paced game pretty painful to play.

    I might be fine with 15FPS otherwise. Maybe.

    *thinks back to weekend spent playing Planetside 2 on lowest possible settings getting like 7 fps but still playing the heck out of it anyways because I'm a special kind of insane* 

    Ahh, good times, good times. The only way I got any kills was with the bazooka. So much fun. I remember when one of my bazooka shots went way too high at a wild angle due to a lag-spike and obliterated a enemy infiltrator in the middle of an otherwise empty open area. Laughed for a good 4 minutes straight, then quit when I realized that I wasn't going to be able to top that.
