  1. So is it booting up to the bios? Do you just have a black screen? Maybe you have an unreliable DP/HDMI cable or something.
  2. Hello everyone, I hope everyone is enjoying the festive season, and I hope that this story/question intrigues some as it intrigues me. Reccently, I had bought an Audioengine A2+ speakers (were on sale) and added a sub from a logitech speaker set. Sound is good and everything and there is lots of bass which is missing from the A2+. One problem I have, however, is that sometimes when I physically get up from my chair, the speakers cut out for a few seconds before resuming. It's not huge issue of course, but for the life of me I cannot figure out why it happens, and I was hoping for the wonderful people of Linustechtips.com to help me. Some information about my setup: - Wired ethernet connection to a PC - A2+ is connected to the PC using a USB cable - I am not part of the electrical circuit - Audio sources are located locally on the computer (or has been buffered already on youtube) - I did not get up into a region of destructive intereference Any suggestions about what I could change will be much appreciated. Maybe I'm just mad and this is all in my head or my house is haunted or something. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks
  3. nope, did nothing. Even turned it off to see if it did anything
  4. hmmm...I run malwarebytes and bitdefender. Ill try and put my firewall on default settings and see if it does anything.
  5. G'day everyone, So the problem that I have is that everytime I visit a website on chrome, it tries to load for maybe 3 seconds then cuts out for like a minute. So in Youtube, it would load the first 5 seconds, and then buffers after that. MIcrosoft Edge therefore has been my go-to youtube browser as it has no problems whatsoever. I've had this problem for a few months now, I thought that maybe I just had a faulty software update on my chrome browser, however I ruled this out as the same versions of chrome on different computers around the house have no problem. Checking the resource manager reveals that indeed no requests are being sent or received, and going on speedtest.net reveals that I reach my maximum internet speed, however during the end of the download phase it kinda just stops, like it would sit at the current internet speed and then it would slowly decrease. It would then be stuck for over half an hour. My ping is fine, about 30 in CSGO. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing cache, clearing DNS files. Nothing worked. Could it be a bad driver? Could it be an old antivirus trying to scan what goes online? Any Help is much appreciated.
  6. The new remix os looks pretty impressive, actually considering using an old android (Sony Xperia s) as a basic pc for parents. It's good as it has mini hdmi AND micro USB otg compatible. I was wondering if it would be possible to hook up a hub to the USB otg and not only charge the phone but also use it for a USB mouse/keyboard. Will this fry my stuff or should it be fine? Thanks
  7. bad luck, there is probably nothing you can do about it other than finding a way to boot everyone off the network (dont do it) and keep all the internet to yourself.
  8. sounds like you want a hotspot, you can usually add more data onto your phone, which probably has 4G, (good enough for video streaming) and can be powered by a powerbank.
  9. as a paid user of tunnelbear, and others like hotspot shield, tunnelbear is very simple, unrestricted. Its fairly cheap at 50 dollars a year for 5 devices. I would say pick the one that has a strong encryption and is simple to use. Otherwise if youre more advanced you can maybe pick a more basic but cheaper service and configure it to your needs.
  10. 30 dollars for both keyboard and mouse isnt really alot, if you can save up to maybe 40 or 50 it will open alot more options, otherwise focus more on the mouse, the keyboard will probably not hinder any performance whereas the mouse is very important, your pick of https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-keyboard-sgb3011kkmf1us looks great, shouldnt have any problems.
  11. Personally the G710+ is an all round great keyboard, for me it has the perfect amount of G keys (programmable) (not too much not too little) and has all the features you woudl really want. It is a little big, but if you've got the space for it, all of those keys will come in handy some day. ~ video editing, gaming, all round productivity. Both keyboards are amazing choices, lets say: - g710+ is a serious, sturdy, solid choice for any situation or task, able to offer a great typing experience with its mx browns, and fully programmable G keys. Also, it has the prestige position of being Linus' daily keyboard. - G410 is a gamer's choice, it is smaller so if your desk is small probably get the g410, has rober G switches (also great), tenkeyless (if you dont use it) G710 is more suttle, g410 is more flarey.
  12. Yes it does mean that there was acceleration in the games, in the long run you will definitely be better off with leaving it off, As it means that aiming will no longer be based on guesswork, rather the more precise muscle memory. Some people rather leave it on for day to day tasks as it means that it is easier to click on smaller objects, however im pretty sure 99.9 percent of the LTT community would leave acceleration off.
  13. hidden...quiet... great. But be sure to allow some type of ventilation if its inside the drawer
  14. Good idea just make sure it dosent catch fire
  15. My Sony A6000 that I bought about a year ago cant shoot slowmo. Ive tried updating the firmware and even got myself a new SD card (class 10) for the job, however it still says "This memory card does not support recording of XAVAC S movies. Change the file format or change the memory card." The SD card is a Snadisk Extreme 16gb Class 10 60MB/s. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SanDisk-Extreme-16GB-SDHC-UHS-I-U3-4K-Ultra-HD-Memory-Card-60MB-s-Class-10-SD-HC-/251743512593?hash=item3a9d152811:g:EckAAOSwkNZUgC6R Will I need an sd card that is maybe 90mb/s? Also, is it possible to record slowmo in a format other than XAVAC S? Like AVCHD? Thanks.
  16. get that intel compute stick if it is all the power you need. If you want to upgrade later then maybe get a used system, for 300 you can get a pretty badass system, like the first scrapyard wars. Otherwise maybe like a hp Stream laptop would do the trick.
  17. All you need to know is that he is apparently pretty hot (according to my gf) and thats about it
  18. Convincing your parents that you need your thousand dollar PC for school.
  19. dirt rally is a good arcader game ish, project cars is over priced, but its like really representative of the real cars and its attention to detail is good. project cars is harder
  20. Hi, so about a few years ago, I was new to the pc industry, and let my cousin so all the software and stuff like that. One thing I remember is that when we were installing windows 8.1, in the part where you are meant to create a new volume, we totally skipped that. My computer runs totally fine right now, but windows 10 isnt updating for me, I want to do a fresh install of windows 10, downloading it and fresh installing it from a usb drive, but I read somewhere that you cannot enter in a windows 8.1 key into a windows 10 key. It said that windows will recognise my hardware and just let it update, but what if my system isnt on it because the volume was never created in the first place? I tried updating manually through their website and downloading the installer but it was stuck on the update screen. What should I do? By the way my "get windows 10" icon is still there and nothing is happening. and also the "check your pc" tab reports "report isnt available". here is my plan, help me see if they are worthy or not: 1. re download the tool that would give me windows 10. (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-upgrade?ocid=win10_wol_help_upgrade ) 2. Download the fresh install pack and try to see if my system will update 3. cry 4. try and swap the operating systems between a computer with windows 10 on it 5. cry 6. cry some more Thanks.
  21. One morning, our beloved hyundai iload van broke down. We called RACV, it was a transmission breakdown. We took it to our local hyundai centre, where they said that the repair would cost 11,000 dollars. (AUS) this is as "there is no more in stock and it needs to be flown in from Sydney" (we live in Melbourne) I am calling it bullshit. From my research, ordinarily it should cost max around 6000, and our van isnt even that high end! moreover, does it really take an extra 5000 to fly it in from Sydney? The coincidence of the high cost, no more transmissions in stock, and the "we need to fly it in from sydney" excuse makes me very suspicious of the high cost. Like they are trying to scam us. Am I right? SHOULD it cost only around 5-6 thousand instead of 11,000 dollars? seems like you can buy a whole new car for that. Car specs: Hyundai iload about 2010 ish, Automatic. Km is over 250,000 easily
  22. It depends on what you need, if you usually dont use headphones then you might want to skip out on the fancy features. Go into your local NCIX or Best Buy to just try our some keyboards. I would prefer a mech keyboard but if you dont mind membrane keyboards it should be fine. Just have a feel yourself of what you like.
  23. Hey guys, I just bought a new iPhone 6S, when I try and update it, phone says "slide to upgrade" and itunes notes "to allow access please respond on your iphone" Then nothing happens. How do i fix this?
