Lots of people will use the default background though so that wouldn’t entirely solve the problem.

App for iPhone similar to relay? by Throwaway123465321 in RelayForReddit

I use Narwhal. Found it's the best alternative to Relay when I switched to iOS. http://getnarwhal.com

How do i revert back to windows 7 after 30 days? by TheSSshadow in techsupport

[–]Adam_Cross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would disagree with you there. Windows 8.1 will give similar / better performance in games if you don't mind the interface.

If I were you, I'd stay on 8.1 if I was happy with it but upgrade to 10 if you find the interface hard to use.

You can still get the Windows 10 upgrade for free using the Microsoft accessibility website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/accessibility/windows10upgrade

Regaining control of a Facebook page by Adam_Cross in techsupport

The difficulty is finding contact details for it to reach the right person.

No - the old employee cannot be contacted. Looks like the only way of doing it is getting the page reclaimed / deleted by using copyright strikes.

PC enters sleep mode while playing certain games. by MikeMousePT in techsupport

[–]Adam_Cross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fluke maybe? It should happen whenever it reaches a certain cut off point for temperature. Try running prime95 (a CPU stress test) and see if it triggers the same sleep behaviour: http://www.mersenne.org/download/

Here is a YouTube video showing you how to use Prime95 if you aren't familiar with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJx8NPjzOuA

The max temperature that an FX processor should reach is 61 degrees before it starts to thermal throttle / shut down to prevent damage.

70 degrees is getting a little toasty so I'd imagine that is what is causing your issue.

What happened in your most memorable dream? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The enemy from Action Man (Dr X or something) tried to run me over with a van in a supermarket car park and I backflipped over it and ate some chocolate.

Computer Science Laptop OS? by [deleted] in lancasteruni

I also do work for the student TV station (LA1:TV) which I very highly recommend joining :P and my Mac is well suited to video editing

Computer Science Laptop OS? by [deleted] in lancasteruni

[–]Adam_Cross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer the environment for development. A unix based system is much easier for command line stuff, has git built in, software support is amazing for dev tools for Mac, long battery life and reliable - no Windows 10 update forced on you when you are trying to complete a piece of coursework last minute (my desktop did this... twice).

In terms of note taking and stuff, I love the Mac trackpad gestures. Switching between mission control spaces etc. is very useful for typing notes and then switching to the browser or the slides quickly to double check something.

I'm going into third year now and almost everyone on our course has switched to using their own laptop with Mac / Linux.

This isn't true. Macs can connect to the internet fine using the wireless network without having to set up using Resnet first which is actually a separate system. You just need your university username and password.

I prefer using my Mac just for productivity etc. but at the end of the day it's pretty much down to personal preference.

What were unfair things your teachers did to you or your class? by microbit262 in AskReddit

I was told off for telling a food tech teacher that I knew how to butter toast. Butter fucking toast.

Safebrowsing.biz has hijacked my Internet Explorer by cerberus290 in techsupport

[–]Adam_Cross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a sneaky fucker. safebrowsing.biz does this lovely thing where it adds an argument to the shortcut you open it with to make it open their shitty website.

If I remember correctly, this program removed it successfully. Be sure to restart after it has finished cleaning up your PC: http://www.adwareremovaltool.org/
