Good FCC Filing
One of the best FCC filings on net neutrality:
The FCC’s Open Internet Rules (net neutrality rules) are extremely important to me. I urge you to protect them. I don’t want ISPs to have the power to block websites, slow them down, give some sites an advantage over others, or split the Internet into “fast lanes” for companies that pay and “slow lanes” for the rest.
Asus Rampage V Extreme i7 5960X GTX 980 Ti boot time SD Card Reader Panasonic vs Lexar Professional
Here you see the boot time difference between a Panasonic BN-SDCMAB and a Lexar Professional SD Card Reader. I Don’t know why but the Panasonic slows down my boot time alot.

Asus Rampage V Extreme i7 5960X GTX 980 Ti boot time
Different boot configurations timed on my PC. The SD Card Reader is a Panasonic BN-SDCMAB and it slows down the boot process very much. RAM testing also slows down boot time, but Compatibility Support Module off does not help much.

Building Gaara i7 5960X GTX 980 Ti
I built this system for Christmas. I knew broadwell-e was right around the corner but I wasn’t sure how much it would OC and I wanted a new PC for christmas. So far it is all good, the new Broadwell-E i7-6950X is very expensive and doesn’t overclock as well as i7-5960X.
Building Cherry
Here I build a Mini-ITX PC to my mum. It will replace a Shuttle XPC with a Pentium D and 1GB memory. My goal was to make it very pretty, and very high quality. That is, a solid feel, competely quiet and fast. Like an Apple product or a Microsoft Surface RT. There are so many cheap and low quality PCs out there. So I spent months scouring the internet for a good quality Mini-ITX case.
Seagate Cheetah 15.K7 write performance issue
I bought a Seagate Cheetah 600GB ST3600057SS SAS hard drive and it has a problem with file transfers. I have tested it on three different PCs and three different SAS Controllers. Transfer rate with a Seagate Cheetah 15.7k and a WD VelociRaptor 600GB is initially fast, 80-100MB/s, but later it slows down to 10MB/s and stays there.

Nokia Lumia 800 issues
Various issues I have found with my Lumia 800. I can’t recommend this phone until these are fixed.
Lifting the 60fps limit
Many programs and games have 60FPS or 60Hz limits. These should be lifted to benefit and promote 120Hz monitors.
