right-click the speaker icon go to playback devices and undisable it

thanks

i jus realised i had already done this


the problem is htat i just realised windows cant send (the same) sound to multiple sound devices at once

and as far as i can tell the way of switching sucks. ie. opening up sound settings and changin dwefailt

i have a similar setup and when i use the winkey-p key combo (projector control) it remembers which audio output it used for that video output, so i only had to go change it manually the first time

ok interesting. can this be done while using same monitor?

my tv goes to sleep if the connection drops when it's on the vga input, but not on the hdmi or component or whatever. i had to get back in the habit of turning the tv off when i started using hdmi instead

yeah me too. i mean the tv is smart enough to know there is no connection, it says so, it just doesnt turn off
which is fine

so part of me is wondering if my beast pc is costing too much to run./ the problem is it acts liek a "server" and torrents etc. i dont want to turn it off

but i aint going to compromise


so servers and remote access and windows.. fully doable? i mean a lightweight server that serves files and is always on an d torrents. my other pc gets turned off and on when necessary

does windows have an easy solution for remoting, so ui can do what i need on server but using my beast pc


surely this ia c ommon scanrio


also if i was to make leightweight server what kinds of processors etc,. ram quirements would there be. would 4gb be enough? im not interested in lightning here, i dont mind waiting 5 seconds for a movie tos tream or whatever

kobo glow is almost same resolution as paperwhite but : you CAN turn the light off all the way, and there is little in the way of restrictions

ie sideloading is a trivial non issue. copy epub file to kobo as mass storage... book works
same with adding fonts

biggest downside is that the out-of-book (ie choosing a book) experience is sub par, broiwsing your device for a book is lovely. if u know what youre looking for its fine though


pleased with my kobo glo. worth a serious consdieration over paperwhite unless you love giving amazon money

kobo is like the android of ereaders but kindle is the kindle fire of ereaders. there is no apple of e-ink readers so.. kobo has good resolution and nice backlight like kindle paper white but more flexibility and less restrictions

only thing is I wish te colour of the backlight was slightly warmer but u get over that soon enough


a replacement OS would make it perfect

best course of action to wait for kobo equivalent I guess

Sometimes, like once per session, when I open new tabs in firefox the whole computer, except the mouse pointer, freezes for 10-15 seconds and then all the things that i tried to do during the freeze come through at once. Should I buy a new computer or use chome or what
