Vlad the Retailer posted:dumb q: i've got an old PC with an AT keyboard connector (of the 5-pin DIN type). can you wire up a PS/2 to AT adapter, or is the compatibility just one-way? you can buy physical adapters for like a buck: https://www.cablewholesale.com/products/keyboard-mice-cable/ps2-at-adaptors/product-10i5-012hf.php the ps/2 and AT keyboards use identical signaling, just a different plug type.

Malloc Voidstar posted:i'm having a memory issue with uTorrent on win7 x64. it only shows as having a commit size of like 1-200MB, but closing it today ended up releasing 5GB of RAM. seems to happen after running it for >24hours. i assume something else is grabbing that memory since uTorrent is 32-bit. i forgot to check the all-processes bit of task manager today but as far as i remember nothing ever showed as having high ram usage during these in either task manager or resource monitor. were you downloading/uploading a thing to/from a slow hard drive because it'll use a lot of ram for disk cache in that case. there's a setting you can do to limit the max ram it'll use for caching

Corla Plankun posted:whats a good place to buy game controllers for pc? i have a bnunch of steam games now that are not v good with wasd+mouse but i haven't bought a controller since like the 90s and my computer doesnt even have a game port anymore Buy an Xbone controller and connect it with microUSB. Otherwise buy a wired 360 controller, but the Xbone d pad is better.

the generics can be bad. its simpler to just get an xbone controller cuz the d pad is better and you can just plug it in with microusb

are you realllly sure you can't just buy a long ethernet cable instead? it's always going to be cheaper and more reliable, and easy to tuck into carpets or the like. anyway the TP-LINK Archer brand ones do tend to be pretty good, but you might want to put it on a decently long USB extension cable for optimal positioning in the room if ethernet can't be done (there's also buying an antenna on a long antenna cord to place instead, but frankly those are going to cost too much for a decent one)

Broken Machine posted:I got a dumb smart phone recently, it's a droid. I wanted to install firefox so of course google wants you to sign in to download from their app store, which I did and I got firefox so that's great. But when I did that it automatically synced all this poo poo including my gmail. So I had to go back and fix all the broken contacts it added, and I think I have it mostly fixed now. What I'd really like to do is remove my google account from the phone completely, and near as I can tell you can't actually do that without removing the whole loving account? Because you use the account to get and update apps, you can't remove the account. If you're all butthurt over having your inbox on there, make a secondary Google account and use that for your phone instead. You can also just uninstall the Gmail app if you don't want it to sync for some bizarre reason

Because how else is it going to take advantage of the store infrastructure to keep it updated silently and automatically? You moron. Broken Machine posted:The answer to "how do I sign out of gmail and delete local data on my phone" shouldn't be factory reset your device or completely delete your gmail Look, you're the guy who wants to not have gmail work on his phone, why is "uninstall gmail from the phone" an unacceptable solution?

bobbilljim posted:so i got GTAV and after the 3 days of downloading I'm having a good time playing it. however I'm getting extremely bad texture pop in. The floor loads the 'far away' texture, but if i drive too fast over to it teh floor goes invisible, some pedestrians fall through screaming, and then (eventually in some cases) the higher rez texture pops in. CPU usage is fairly high while playign but i'm thinkign its teh lack of vram / crossfire thats killign it for me. step one: get an new nvidia, and ideally find some sucker to offload your double amd cards to step two: get loving intel cpu already christ
