Huh. Guess I'll find out when it gets here if I agree with you. The link seemed cool since I can stream movies from my PC with it, and almost all of my games are on Steam. The controller is something that it's designed to work with, so I figured "what the hell".

I love my steam controller

I just never use it as it takes some time to learn it and I mostly play MKB games at my PC.

You guys want a programming language? :shepface:
https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

To write smart contracts there are a few different languages: Solidity, which is like JavaScript and has .sol as a file extension, Serpent, Python-like with extension .se, and a 3rd, LLL, based on Lisp.


Javascript-like thing for smart contracts.
Unlike python and not knowing what to do, there are barely resources on this (but enough for me to get by somehow??? Maybe because people make the smart contracts open source so I can just cannibalize similar functions)

That's probably just a dead video card. Have you tried taking it out, and plugging your monitor into your motherboard's port?

E: On another note, the Steam link's not bad. I can stream my desktop to the living room for 35 bucks. Steam controller is cool too, haptic feedback for the two thumb touchpads, good weight, and no real problems, really plug n play with the link.

Yup, the only problem now is :effort: in making key bindings for the game, or waiting for a scrub to make one you can use.


It's great for things like First Person Roguelikes and such though, that's for sure. Played a shitton of Delver with it to get used to it. Medium paced FPS style movement is good for getting used to it.
Love the trackball mode for mouselook and right analog stick, but wish they would add trackball style momentum to left analog//movement bindings.


Fantastic game for it: Valkyria Chronicles. Not only does it support simultaneous KBM and controller, the mouse can be used as fine tune aiming while everything else in the game you can have the original xinput bindings. (Plus as a console game port it is one of the best technically done ports I've ever loving seen and wish every console game gets an amazing port like this, and I wish Sega would capitalize on the PC functions with more games. I believe they're making more VKs and I hope those all use the same ported engine... if they port those to PC when they do re-release them.)

I spent like 20 minutes just now unscrewing the side panel bolt with a knife and have determined that this motherboard port you're referring to isn't inside the pc and instead is on the back, sealed by a black piece of plastic that is bolted onto the machine with screws that I haven't got a screwdriver for. :sigh:

The VGA/DVI cable can come undone with your fingers. If it's stuck in use plyers or a coin or something to start turning it.
The secondary port thing is only if you have a video port on your mobo as well as a GFX card

Your HDD should be fine though depending on the issue. The data can be recovered.

If you wish to see if it's just your video card you can boot it up and then look at your router's web UI to see if it says it's connected. Perhaps do a ping test to the PC to see if it responds (if the PC doesn't just go "I WON'T BOOT WITHOUT A VALID VIDEO CARD RESPONSE" though, some do.)


If you verify your PC can respond, it's fine and just a video card issue.
If it doesn't respond, could be any number of things depending on how far it boots.

I'm sorry but I don't understand any of this.
VGA/DVI = the video cable. (since you said it has screws and HDMI cables don't have screws, typically)
Some motherboards don't have onboard video port for a second port.

Depending on the issue, your songs and data are fine. (doesn't sound like a hard drive issue since it shows no video from the PC as far as you said)
Your router may track what devices are connected, if your PC connects and you can communicate with it on the network then you know your PC is working, mostly.

Why the hell do you need so many currency "denominations". Yeah it's helpful so you don't have to decimal things like Bitcoin (0.000001 btc, or 1 xbtc or whatever it is), it's confusing to call a smaller denomination of Ether "shannon" or "finney" (or a larger denomination of wei).

Seriously though BTC is going up again due to Ethereum getting a lot of attention:


Mostly due to this finalizing 1.0: https://daohub.org/
https://daohub.org/about.html
/The DAO/ is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (“DAO”) - more specifically, it is a new breed of human organization never before attempted. The DAO is borne from immutable, unstoppable, and irrefutable computer code, operated entirely by its members, and fueled using ETH which Creates DAO tokens.

It's basically a board of directors/stockholder thing where the money owned is voted on being sent to things on actions. Owners of tokens (ownership) can trade them to other dudes, and depending on the proposals there could be return Ether sent to their addresses, or the DAO tokens themselves are worth more.

https://www.ethereum.org/dao

Literally no clue if it'll bust or not, but it's interesting that's for sure.

---

I only bring this up as I'm trying to see if I can work this into my gimmick for that OP, since the same voting style system could be translated into the same thing people do for actual voting. It's really fascinating and my minute amount of Ether I bought for $50 a month ago is like $100-120 atm lol.

Granted I care more about making a game on the drat Ethereum processing system (since it processes Turing complete code, vs Bitcoin which is just moving bitcoins around and nothing else), which said voting stuff could be useful for game stuff or even NPCs ran on the same system.
