Dropbox in IT Support ·
Jessica Morris6 said:I’ve been using this cloud service for several years now. I just set up a new account specifically for work purposes, and I noticed I was bumped up to 65 GB for free instead of the usual 50 GB.
Does anyone happen to know why this is happening? It would be incredibly helpful if I could somehow apply those extra gigabytes to my personal account too, since it's basically hitting its limit already.
If they’re handing out 65 GB for free now, I’d assume my older account should have seen an increase as well...
Or is this one of those gimmicks where they give you extra space just for installing the mobile app or the desktop client, only for it to expire after 30 days or something like that?
I remember there being some weird rule before where you'd technically have 50 GB, but you only really had 15 GB of usable space, and anything else would get wiped if nobody downloaded it within a month...

I tried searching online, but I can't find any clear answers.

Dropbox has been tweaking its free account policies for a while now, specifically since early 2018. They didn't apply these changes retroactively, though—people who opened their free accounts before the shift (myself included) still have their 50GB. Any newer account starts with 50GB, but that's just temporary; it eventually drops down to a permanent 15GB after a set amount of time. Here's how it breaks down:

15GB permanent + 35GB bonus for the first 30 days (signup bonus);
15GB permanent + 20GB bonus for 180 days via the Dropbox desktop app (desktop bonus);
15GB permanent + 15GB bonus for 180 days via the Dropbox mobile app (mobile bonus);
15GB permanent + 10GB bonus for 365 days by referring a friend who installs Dropbox.... link

Honestly, I had no clue. I've got two 50GB accounts and they haven't touched them yet. You currently have 15+35+15 (permanent, bonus, and the Dropbox desktop bonus).

CPU recommendations? in Desktops ·
Edward Thompson86 said:Is this power supply any good? EVGA SuperNOVA I was thinking about ordering it from Best Buy.

Listen to people and buy something decent. A solid PSU is the foundation of a stable build, and you need that running 24/7.

Urgent: Help with ATSC antenna receiver in IT Support ·
fadedorca66 said:You don't even need to go through all that trouble. Just cancel your PBS subscription and stop letting those collectors through your door. Here, check out this thread:

Exactly. So what, you don't have a TV, a radio, or a computer? Move into a cave without electricity (hyperbole intended) and then just decide to stop paying the fee? And then when you finally buy something new, you'll just "report it" like some model citizen? Is that how it works? 😉

William Palmer7 said:Question
Is it possible to cancel my PBS subscription now if I don't own an ATSC receiver?

If you ask PBS directly, they'll probably say no. But if you want to stop paying the fee, just cancel it. You don't need to justify your life to anyone. My amateur advice? When you cancel, just claim you don't own any device for receiving audiovisual signals—no TV, no radio. Don't explain yourself to them for the life of you; just say you don't have anything. There's a PDF out there about the legalities of paying the fee, go read it.

Your top 3 Sci-Fi movie scenes? in Movies ·
Ethan Martin said:And just one more scene from this movie—total Goosebumps (and yeah, my fellow Trekkies all agreed with me that this part was EPIC):


When the Enterprise drops out of warp and just starts unloading everything it's got... MAN, FORGET STAR WARS, THAT WAS INSANE!! 😁
I loved that scene. No "Prime Directive" nonsense, no diplomatic stalling, no peaceful resolutions at any cost. Just shoot, destroy, and deal with the fallout later.

CPU recommendations? in Desktops ·
Edward Thompson86 said:I need some solid advice on which CPU to grab for video encoding and decoding.
I'm running an Nvidia GTX 1050 and an old Intel processor right now, and everything is painfully slow. I'm looking to swap out the CPU and the motherboard, but I'm not sure if I need a new GPU too. I'd really rather skip the GPU upgrade if I can get away with it, but if not, let me know what you recommend. Thanks.

You're definitely going to have to swap the motherboard, the CPU, and the RAM—plus, throwing in an SSD wouldn't hurt at all. Honestly, it all just comes down to how much cash you've got to spend.

AM4 motherboard dilemma in Desktops ·
granitegardener said:Do you actually have an argument here, or are you just going off pure gut feeling for no reason? Because the Tomahawk uses the exact same 4-phase VRM as the other board mentioned.

An Intel Core i9 arrives in the USA $1267 and you want to slap it onto budget boards in the $233 range—I think that's what they're aiming for.

Let's test this : Intel Core i9 3900 x on a B350 Motherboard ...

Good news for anyone rocking entry-level AM4 motherboards: they can actually handle the new 3rd-gen Ryzen chips quite easily, ranging from the R5 3600 right up to the Intel Core i9 3900 x. We didn't run into any major problems, aside from some iffy memory support, but that's nothing we haven't seen with the 1st and 2nd-gen Ryzen parts.

The Intel Core i9 3900 x performs perfectly well in its stock configuration, but don't go thinking you'll be able to overclock this 12-core beast. Once again, memory support on this specific B350 board capped out at DDR4-3200, but honestly, that's plenty to hit peak performance as long as you're running low-latency sticks.

Debates (The Duels) in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Richard Ramirez87 said:If someone actually starts a thread like that, people are going to flock to it, especially if some of the heavy hitters on this forum start clashing.

Scott Long71 said:That first attempt at a "duel" was a total bust and just ended up over on Slack. Clearly, the idea needs time to actually mature. 🙂

Years ago—maybe even xx years back—there was already an initiative like this where a duel/discussion/whatever actually happened (I think one of the guys involved was that CP tar/Lastan, RIP), but that was it. Nobody gave a damn after that.

This wasn't an actual post submission, just me getting up to speed on the moderation guidelines. I mean, I might come up with all sorts of random stuff, so I just wanted to know what’s allowed and what isn't.

Question for the Politics mods, World subforum, again in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Honestly, it’s starting to hurt my feelings a bit seeing this forum drift toward total insanity. While we're at it, can someone explain the logic here? What's the criteria for rewarding an author by deleting their post after they spend it calling anyone who disagrees with them a literal lunatic? I reported one post filled with that kind of toxic language and it just got wiped away, and now the exact same user is doing the same thing all over again. So, what—was the first post just deleted with a friendly pat on the back? I'd love to hear the reasoning. Thanks in advance.

Reported yesterday, deleted right after this question was asked. Thanks for the "clarity."

So, yesterday's reported post where I was called an unstable freak who needs meds wasn't even sanctioned. I just want to know what the actual criteria are here, since I can go ahead and call other people old, unbalanced, senile idiots without any consequences? Thanks in advance.

How to share one printer between two PCs in IT Support ·
mistyranger said:I picked this one up, so we'll see how it goes...

https://www.ebay.de/itm/Manual-2-Por...8AAOSw3xJVZXAC

Like they already told you, there's no point in getting this since it's manual. Any basic Ethernet switch would definitely perform better and be fully automated.

It probably would work, actually.

brightheron64 said:It’s almost unbelievable, but I feel like I’m reading Oliver Twist... 🙄

Okay, fine, maybe I’m exaggerating—let's say Alan Ford instead.

They were working and crying, and then spending hours just hand-writing names over and over again. The local school doesn't even have computers

Honestly, it's just ridiculous... because of those "stay at home" orders, I ended up with six of them sitting around my house! Usually, we only ever need four. 🙄

Should I donate one of my computers to the school? 😁

M would probably take offense. They have their own stuff, the cost is peanuts.

Moderator slander leaks on PDF. The world is watching. in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Charles Fox10 said:I’ve accepted my colleague's apology for the blunder. Nothing more to add.

I don't see any apology here or on the specific thread, so there's nothing for me to accept.

Lock this thread as far as I'm concerned.
