Am I just crazy or do some cables work better with different chargers and charge different devices at a different speed?
It's driving me mad. My aukey cable charges my Nexus 5 faster than it does my redmi (measured in mAh), my Nexus cable charges the redmi faster, etc.
Man I wish there was an established method for testing a hypothesis.

What video is that?
>>56167934
And no you aren't crazy. The gauge used for the wires inside the cable make a huge difference, some manufacturers also add extra "power" pins and cables into their micro usb cables to charge faster. Motorola and LG for example charge quicker on Motorola and LG brand cables.
How has Google docs treated you in college?
Is it okay for a college student to simply stick with docs or should I cave and "buy" Office?
Usually you can get it for free through your university.
if it works it works. Otherwise get a LEGIT copy of windows office 2010 with microsoft toolkit to crack it
Why? Here at Cambridge libreoffice is installed on the computers in the lab, so that's what I run on my laptop too.
Half the machines here run opensuse with gnome, too.

Ten posts too early, faggot.
looking for some wireless iems that are sweat resistant and long battery life, I was looking at the jaybird x's or x2s but I thought Id check with you guys for any alternatives since I hear they break after ~2 months of use
im going to be using them for bike riding and going to the gym

high comfort is pretty important
>Past headphones
shitty $5 earbuds
apple ear buds both older and newest models both are extremely uncomfortable to me/my ears
also a mic isnt needed
>>56168086
The LG neckband bluetooth stuff (HBS-850, 900) would have a solid battery life, more so than the Jaybirds. Don't know about the sweat resistance though.
>a mic isnt needed
Most bluetooth models have one whether you want it or not.
Just bought a Seagate Barracuda (Factory-Recertified) 5TB 3.5" Internal Desktop Hard Drive for $140 at microcenter. Is there anymore of a chance of this hard drive failing more then a new one?
If it's been shipped around more, especially on its own, that's more chance for it to recieve the type of physical trauma to have created a ticking time-bomb. It would not have been checked at the factory for internal damage, only that it still passed tests when plugged in and used at the time.

People always say XLR mics are the way to go. But they're significantly more expensive than a USB mic because it requires an interface and cables and whatnot.
Is it worth the price hike? If I'm spending $300 on a mic I might as well get the SM7B which is what most shows, podcasts, and even artists use.
3.5mm mics generally suck. High self-noise/noise floor, clip like crazy, piss poor gain control.
Mics get good with regard to self-noise and sensitivity around the $50 USB level. From that point on it's about finding something convenient that you like the sound of.
USB mics tend to fail me on the convenience parts. I'm not sure how fine the gain control is for them. In order to do direct monitoring, I'd have to plug my headphones into the USB mic, and plugging in and out from that would be annoying as fuck. USB mics also tend to be overly proprietary (see the Blue lineup).
Also, I should add that, with condenser or any costly microphone, you're not gonna be really happy with your recordings unless you're in a good recording environment, which you're not. It's far better to have a cheaper mic and a better recording environment than the other way around.
The SM7b is an absolutely fantastic microphone but it's also incredibly picky. You basically have to use a Cloudlifter unit with it to get any reasonably volume without clipping, and then you better use an XLR interface with a good preamp. Then, you're going to have to be DIRECTLY on top of it for it to sound any good.
If you're expecting a setup where you put the mic in the corner next to your monitor and have it sound good, get an AT2020, USB or XLR.
Personally, I'm a fan of the Shure SM58 or the Sennheiser E835 stage mics for their ability to be used to mic just about anything. Vocals, guitar amps, drums, all of it can sound good through an SM58, it's a swiss army knife.

I am having concerns that the IT industry will be unnecessary but at the highest level.
But I've spent two years in school doing it and still enjoy it.
Anyone in networking/sys admin/database design have any comments on the IT industry as a whole?
Is it too late?

No it's not too late, as long as you have an open mind, and the ability to pivot into different areas. I'll hang around and answer any follow up questions if you have any.

I'm assuming you've found a way to automate tech support?
>>56167360
I jumped out of the tech train back in 2009 partly because I thought that it would be saturated by 2014. Looks like I was wrong.
The only reason that did not make me regret it is that I still want to be computer independant.
For those of you who always keep a flash drive handy, what do you keep on it?

tons of porn to share to friendly anons

My password manager and a text file saying "if found, return to Anon Anonson, 123 Main st, City, State 12345"
I used to keep a lot more shit on it but I don't bother anymore. I keep shit on my laptop and have an rsync script that syncs my files. When I was in school I got a lot more use out of it keeping projects and work and stuff on it, since I'd have to share those with classmates a lot.

I know it should be but for some reason I can't get it to boot. I made a Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 bootable USB drive, disabled fastboot in windows, shrunk my windows partition, and try to boot the USB drive that listed as the UEFI option in the boot manager when restarting my computer. However when I try to pick the UEFI USB device I get a blank screen like instantly, when I pick the USB device without the UEFI tag i get the little gnome guy on the bottom and then my screen goes blank. I understand this seems to be a problem with the iso not being able to recognize my graphics card or somethin (GTX 980) and I tried using this guide to no avail. WTF do I do...

Just install rEFInd. It lets you pick between uefi OSes to boot, so itll just skip right over grub.

I can't get Windows to work at all on mine. I've got Ubuntu 16.04 MATE and every time I boot into windows I get the blue screen of death and it says "critical systems error" and forces a restart
