Why not.

I have that Toshiba drive, too. And I see what you did there, I'm feeling you.

Same annoyance here...

That LED literally lights a whole room, no sh*t!

WAY too bright (and blue... sigh) LED...

fail, Toshy, fail!

Hi, I just finished my new computer desk and thought you might be interested. I have been lurking on the boards for a while but decided to register to show off my new toy.

There are a few more pics of it here http://imgur.com/a/dMwCO

Cheers.

Jesus Christ, that's awesome!

That all being quoted, I might post pictures of mine when I get around to finally tidy up again a bit and decorate again! (Y)

Suprisingly, no printers in any of the shots??

Wow, do those still exist ? I tought those were extinct. My granddaddy used to tell us stories about them and how expensive and unreliable those ink cartridges were.

This stock cooler is very impressive actually. It doesn't make noise. System is very quiet and the only noise is the 200mm fan at the top. This cooler was able to run Battlefield 3 at 4.3Ghz at 41C degrees. My buddy has the same i5 2500k with liquid cooling and he is getting about 40C on his for BF3 at 4.3Ghz.

Indeed, the stock ones have improved a lot. When I upgraded my computer a while back when my motherboard decided to break I didn't buy a CPU fan since it looked like the old one would fit, of course the mount for it had changed by about a milimeter to force you to change :p so I just stuck what came with the i5 CPU on there, it keeps the CPU cool and it's pretty silent, the graphics card fan make a lot more noise.

If you were mentioning my office.. yeah there is a printer it was behind me as I was taking the shots.. It's an HP Color Laser printer. I haven't used it in years.

Hard to believe. I have one printer in the office and one at home. Nobody prints anything nowadays at home? Print cards, photos, plane boarding pass, online banking receipts, reports etc, anyone????

You forgot the typewriter! :p

Mhhh...

Printing photos I'll leave to professional photo laboratories... Printers are just more expensive and don't look any better unless you invest in really sweet printers, but yeah...

Still more expensive!

In the days of modern networked or wireless printers, there is no real reason to have a rather unsightly printer sitting on your desk. Mine is a Brother laser that lives in the server rack out of the way, and out of sight.

Other note: I agree, almost nothing gets printed on my printer these days.

In order to not spam the thread with pictures I ensured I took a picture of my desk only. I have a OkiData Laser Printer and an Epson Wide Format Inkjet as well as a Server in my "data center" (my server storage area of the room) as well as another PC and TV in the room. Just because it isn't in the pictures doesn't mean it isn't present ;)

The beauty of networked printing is neither of those have to be on or directly located next to my desk :).

And to answer the other part of your question. Yep. I print still at home. A lot. We exhausted at least a case of paper last year.

My workspace is pretty cramped, going to get a wall mounted lamp soon and a better screen. Using my old 720p TV just now since I knocked over my old screen and broke it :( Can't wait to get my degree and get a good job, I really want to create a space that I'm proud of instead of just having stuff thats flung together :p Ohh I also want a better camera, the colour balance is terrible and it can't cope with lighting at all :( /rant

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
