    I run my own company (founded 2013). We are based in Germany, but have offices in Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Canada, USA, Iran and Taiwan.

    We are also running one of the largest manufacturing plants in Taiwan (and also another 2 plants at the same location).

    My personal interests are closely related to my job (programming and design & management), as well as some musical instruments and the various languages (like korean).

  1. So what about the ads? Over the last months, Vessel started displaying ads at the start of each video. Yes, there are only 5s long and most of them are charities, but that doesn't make them any less of an ad. And now there is a second LTT video with its own ad at the end. I've said it one time and it is still true: Vessels business model by itself is flawed. There can only be so much content on Vessel, but there is all the content on YouTube. No one wants to switch platforms when switching videos/channels (that's like having a separate TV for every network). If I could watch all other YT channels on Vessel and get YT suggestions, that would be great. Technically possible, legally not - and it would just be YT premium. So I'd rather buy a YT "premium" subscription and watch everything I like rather than paying for Vessel just to watch some of it. I predict (and hope) Vessel will just die off.
  2. Want to use the new drawer (alphabetical vertical list) and camera app from Android M on your (rooted) Lollipop installation without installing M yet? Well, here's the download. This should work on most devices, but I've only tested it on my Note 3 (Android 5.0). Technical info: Build: M Preview Build 5.0.16.19 (Nexus) ARM-extracted Size: 26,592,215 MD5: BE2FAD120C96E38002B3B2603262BC74 Installation: (Unpack & copy) Use any root explorer and click on each apk. Install the same way as any other app. Don't manually copy it to system! Download: Mirror 1 (Germany): http://workupload.com/file/lSZo7IVZ
  3. <rant> LTT is literally the only channel on vessel I'm subscribed to. And yet, even if there are plenty of new LLT videos I didn't watch, the smug faces of GMM are plastered all over the frontpage taking up my whole screen. Every single time. Also: Why doesn't the default username/pw field on Vessel (when you're not logged in) log you in once you enter valid credentials. Why is new registration the default and existing users have to click "Log In". </rant> Have a nice day
  4. If you need any help in German drop me a PM, I'm native. If you have any questions etc., I'd be happy to help.
  5. Like you can't still watch it on twitch... @Slick It is "OK, Google." not bloody "OK Google Now". Damn it!
  6. Well, I get alot laptops / netbooks from friends which are just bricked. When you have the server setup once, you just press a button and you have a fresh install. ('Cause that flash drive you need always disappears when you need it ).
  7. Hello there! 1. Introduction I recently needed to install some Windows Version on an old Netbook. I didn't have a spare flash drive, it didn't support SD booting and of course it didn't have a CDD. So I had to use installation via PXE. The conclusion was, that this procedure was way easier than USB booting, and I'll show you how you can do it, too! 2. What you need 2.1. HOST PC You will need a PC which will act as the network boot drive. This PC needs to run Windows (XP to Windows 10). 2.2. SLAVE PC This is the PC you will install Windows to. It doesn't need to run anything, but it has to have PXE support (we will get to that). 2.3. Some kind of Network For this method, it is really irrelevant what kind of network you have. You will need to connect the Slave PC via a wired connection, because most BIOS won't support WiFi. How the Host PC is connected doesn't matter at all. For example, this would be a valid network: 2.4 An OS Image You also need a disk image from the Windows Version you will use. This can either be a virtual disk (ISO) or a physical disk (as long as the Host supports DVDs). 2.5 Serva Download the free Software Serva from here. 3. Tutorial 3.1. Setting up the Slave PC check the Slave PCs BIOS for the Boot Priority and enable PXE (sometimes called Local Network). set the PXE option as the first boot entry 3.2. Setting up Serva and the Host PCmount the Windows Installation ISO or insert the Windows Installation DVD unpack the Serva download to any folder you like go to the network options and enable File Sharing in the local network (if you cant turn File Sharing on, check wether your connection is set to Home Network) create an empty folder at X:\SERVA_ROOT (X being your System drive) run Serva.exe Windows FireWall will alert you, allow Serva to open ports (!) (in Serva) click Settings go to the tab "TFTP" enable the checkbox "TFTP Server" click "Browse" and select the X:\SERVA_ROOT we created earlier switch to the "DHCP" tab and enabe "proxyDHCP" enable BINL rerun Serva there should now be some new folders in X:\SERVA_ROOT right click on X:\SERVA_ROOT\WIA_WDS and select Properties go to Sharing and share this folder also share this folder with Everyone and set permission to Read/Write change the network share name to WIA_WDS_SHARE: go to your virtual/physical installation drive and just copy all the contents create a new folder in X:\SERVA_ROOT\WIA_WDS\Type_Any_Name_Here (for example: X:\SERVA_ROOT\WIA_WDS\Windows7x64) paste the Installation files into that directory (you can create multiple directories for multiple OS) rerun Serva 3.3. Installationconnect the Slave PC to the network and turn it on the Slave should now try to obtain a DHCP packet from the Serva server (may take some time) you should now see the Serva bootloader on the Slave PC select your OS (Windows 10 will be displayed as Windows 8.1) log into the Host PC by entering the User credentials (for example: ReTVPC\ReTV and password123). install as usual 4. Fin Congrats, you successfully booted via PXE. Now, for every new setup, you just need to copy the OS to your Serva root.
  8. No it isn't at all. Check out my tutorial: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/335603-the-ultimate-pxe-network-boot-tutorial/
  9. Confirmation for the specs and a small price update in the first post.
  10. I HAZ NEWS. Not much though. It is still in German customs (...). Apparently, it won't be called "pearbook", but there is no name atm. They plan to massdrop it, which is good, because depending on the demand, the price might drop as low as $499. Stay tuned.
  11. Well, if they end up <500$ they might be perfect for productivity (university and stuff).
  12. I just got FreeDOS preinstalled. I'll be using Windows 10 for a start.
