>every provider charges exorbitant amounts and according to everyone has supremely shitty service
When will this shit end? The U.S. has some of the worst internet quality among 1st world countries, and it seems like 9/10 ISPs give absolutely zero shits about caring for their customers.

Pirates go to reddit.

My digital life is the place to crack windows, make a fucking account already.

If you just made a new PC, you need to plug your monitor into the graphics card, not the mobo.

I want to talk about data recovery.

I recently tried ddrescue; which, while reading through the documentation, seemed interesting enough to give it a try. But after completing the operation I was left with what seemed to be a clone of the failing drive copying over everything including the fucked up file system - making it worthless. I was curious if anyone has had success with ddrescue?

Now, PhotoRec did the job beautifully - it was almost too easy to use. But with that I'm left with another issue - how to automate the organization of all the file types? Some research is just giving me indexers which is useless for what I need, I can't hand a HDD to a client expecting them to sift through all the malware to find a jpeg of last Christmas.

What are you working on, anonymous ?

# New & Revised /dpt/ Code of Conduct #
We want to ensure that the /dpt/ community, while large and diverse, remains
welcoming and respectful to all participants. To that end, we have a few
ground rules that we ask people to adhere to.

- *Be friendly and patient.*

- *Be welcoming.* We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports
people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited
to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour,
immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family
status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.

- *Be respectful.* Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement
is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience
some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn
into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where
people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of
the /dpt/ community should be respectful when dealing with other members as
well as with people outside the /dpt/ community.

- *When we disagree, try to understand why.* Disagreements, both social and
technical, happen all the time and /dpt/ is no exception. It is important
that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember
that we’re different. The strength of /dpt/ comes from its varied community,
people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different
perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a
viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to
err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on
helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.

...old desktop thread was delet

So in 2011 when I was still an underage b&, my family got me a mid range gaming desktop. The thing is, it barely plays games of today on medium settings and I want to upgrade it.

My specs are:

Pentium G620 2.6Ghz
Radeon HD 5670 1GB DDR3
4GB DDR3 RAM

I want to upgrade it to 8GB of DDR5 RAM and possibly a graphics card like the 480. Has to be below 400 euros though. Is the 480 the best bang for my buck or can I get a better graphics card that plays current games on at least high settings?

Thanks senpai.

Sup /g/,

How did you prepare for your A+? I know it's just a basic cert that everyone and their grandma on /g/ probably has but I'm looking to refine my knowledge and figured you guys might have some good resources.

Also, what can I expect job wise? I kind of fell into IT after not really having any idea what to do for a living and my expectations are low.
