Or is it that the stingray devices' abilities are too intrusive? Probably both. Ignoring the social justice stiff above, the laws of the land consist of millions of pages of the most convoluted crap lawyers can write. You *are* breaking the law, somewhere, somehow, in your daily life. And you not knowing about the laws you are breaking isn't an excuse.

It's in your video card display drivers. And before you go, "but I use a Mac and", it's in the Display panel.

Motronic posted:Patience grasshopper. If you haven't installed windows 7 lately, and it sounds like you haven't, let me lay the lovely news on you: even an SP1-slipstreamed install takes 3+ hours on "checking for updates" the first time around unless you're talking about something with 4+ GB RAM and a fast proc. I'm loading up a Vista-era Dell with 2 GB RAM for a neighbor right now and that part took about 6 hours. Good lord. The last time I installed W7 was last year-ish. It did take a while, especially having to download the Lenovo W7 drivers that were supposedly specifically made so people could 'downgrade' from 8.1 to 7. And even then it was a couple year old install disk from juuuuuuust about when W7 came out. It's slowly but surely updating. By tonight I may have a fully functioning laptop again. I just couldn't warm up to 10 and it seemed to run so much slower than 7. Appreciate the advice

Motronic posted:even an SP1-slipstreamed install takes 3+ hours on "checking for updates" the first time around IIRC if you're installing from USB, there's a folder you can drop update packages in and they'll also be installed. So maybe just use something like WHDownloader to grab all the updates and drop them in that folder. It'll take a little longer to finish installing, but shouldn't take any time at all to check Windows Update and verify that you're up to date. e. This seems like a smarter way to do it. rndmnmbr fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Nov 13, 2015 |

Tide posted:I just couldn't warm up to 10 and it seemed to run so much slower than 7. Honestly this was how I felt about 10 at first, but I had upgraded my W7 that had been installed back in 2009 after the official release, and which I had transferred over to a new system board in 2011. I did a clean install last week and so far it's substantially better than 7.

Just bought $100 worth of PVC pipe and fittings, looks like I'm building a simulator rig tomorrow. Should be a good weekend. I need to look at the specs on the gaming/sim PC and see what should be upgraded and watch for black friday deals. It runs iRacing fine but not sure how it will do on newer or more demanding games.

Just got round to tidying my desk and fitted 2 additional 24" monitors to my PC to give me 3x24's. My windows desktop is now 5040x1050 and 1.5M wide  InitialDave posted:Yes, I have it streaming from my desktop upstairs to my media PC for my projector. hmm. Maybe I should try it again! It was a new feature when I last tried it. I was trying it wired. I got a blank screen or steam crashed. Its approx 3M from my PC upstairs to my projector downstairs. If I could manage to empty a set of shelves I could just lift the floorboard and poke a cable through a hole in the ceiling directly into the projector!...

I just spent an hour in a dog-pee covered garage trying to put loaded struts on a 2000 sebring convertable for some idiot that thought a $500 car was a good idea. I have no idea if the struts are right, the cocksucker before me that took the car half apart lost the bottom bolt for the strut, and after I finally got the car up in the air and the sway bar disconnected so I could get the strut shoved in, I discovered that the struts are like 4" too long, even with me stepping on the hub. And it's supposedly the correct strut. The suspension is a disaster of rust, so pulling the trailing arms to get the bitch even lower is not going to be pretty. After I explained how much labor is going to have to go into it, and the potential new parts, the daughter offered me sex instead of money. I got mad, gave up and went home. Cars are dumb.

I haven't done that recently because I keep swearing that this is the last loving time I'll ever be installing Windows 7. Hasn't worked out so far. I should just make a proper installer.

I modified plans I found on the net and made this for my boy a few years ago. It works great, super stable. I went a little silly and ground off all of the markings on the elbows and gave it a nice coat of plasticoat. Also, skateboard tape around some of the wear-points. It's held up really well and the MR2 seat makes it.

Valve cover gasket: RTV or not? I've got the Mazda running again but I just used the old gasket to verify it would even start, now it's time to put on the fresh one.

Pham Nuwen posted:Valve cover gasket: RTV or not? I've got the Mazda running again but I just used the old gasket to verify it would even start, now it's time to put on the fresh one. If it's a rubber gasket, typically it only calls for dabs of RTV in machined corners that the rubber would have a hard time filling, ie where the cam end caps meet the rest of the valve cover.  (this is a Protege with the FS motor, which may or may not have anything to do with yours; i don't know what car you've got) Can't see it actively hurting to use it elsewhere, but it's not necessary. Unless someone else knows better.

I use Hylomar, poo poo is awesome. Also gently caress every manual transmission where you have to fill it through the speedo gear hole, I just spent WAY too much time trying to get the loving speedo gear out changing the gear oil jesus H christ.

Enourmo posted:I'm actually going through a minor upgrade myself (why yes i bought fallout why do you ask) 100% correct, your GPU is your bottleneck. Acquire a GTX970 or similar, enjoy hella performance. Also if you're still rolling without an SSD, pick one up, they're rad and you can still use the spinning drive to store your steam games.

About a year ago I upgraded from an HD5770 to an R9 280. FO4 autoselected "ultra" for my 1080p monitor and it is smooooooth. Seconding literally a fish's remarks. GPU first, SSD second if you don't have one because holy gently caress is flash so much nicer than spinning disk. Worst case if it's not enough, the GPU and SSD would work well in a current-gen i5 build too.

I'd also suggest a new power supply if the current one is as aged as the rest of the hardware. I've seen a new power supply make a not-insignificant increase in framerate with no other changes being made to the system. Once the rails start to go they can't supply stable power, and this is exacerbated if the CPU or GPU is running near peak - which your HD5800 series card certainly is.

Yeah I already pulled the trigger on a 960 earlier today (I looked at a 970 but it was $280 vs $150 for the 960, too good a bargain to pass up). And yeah I've raved about the SSD in my laptop in here, that's happening as soon as I get my next installment of financial aid for school. Even if it's just big enough for the OS and a couple programs, that'll do me just fine. Then swap out the ram for something beefier (6x4GB, double the fun?  ), then new mobo/chip, new PSU at some point... i will computer of theseus this motherfucker.E: Hmm, might get a new power supply along with the SSD when that time comes then. Hopefully a new, more capable card will put less strain on the current one for the next couple months.

Holy poo poo. I just saw the news on Paris. I've been out and about and haven't really checked the Internet all day. I know there's been a lot of computer chat lately. If you're thinking about upgrading, wait until the week of Black Friday. Newegg should have some good deals.
