  1. hmm weird can you try something like a linux distro on a usb stick to see if it actually does anything at all?
  2. That really sucks hopefully can get it to work or refund it for something that will
  3. ah, yes, looking back i did read the same thing. my previous headphones were beats and i changed the batteries about 5 times in 4 years so i never really went without them (plus they wouldn't work) so i have always kept a spare battery with me in the case (as you can with the QC25)... i dont think your going to find active noise cancellation without degradation in sound quality once the battery runs out
  4. i just got a pair of the qc25's but i havnt had them long enough to account for battery. What does happen is once the battery runs out the active noise cancellation essentially is off, they will still work just like if the switch for the noise cancellation is off, obviously the best way is to have the active noise cancellation but they make do when it is off. As for their use, they are fantastic set of headphones.
  5. i currently use a build of waterfox (64 bit firefox) and cyberfox (also 64bit firefox). i used x64 bit mozilla nightlies in the past and didnt necessarily like them... having good speed/success with cyberfox. currently can run the 64 bit on my laptop whereas the official 32bit mozilla firefox will crash as soon as i loads
  6. finally got out of the stone age and got some new headphones to replace my aging and admittedly crappy beats studio 1st gen. so, grabbed a set of Bose QC25's in the black.. all i can say is these are awesome set of headphones and will definitely do me well for the next few years for both gaming (with an upcoming purchase of a mod-mic) and music
  7. went fan overkill on my raspberry pi 2. picked up a 5v fan off ebay.. changed the 3 pin fan to a 2 pin connection and jerry-rigged (hot glue) it to the stock case I got lol runs a few degrees over ambient at idle.
  8. some mighty fine purchases over the last couple of days.... kinda jealous lol
  9. some of them come with 2 plugs so you can run 2 lines from your router tot he Powerline adapter and then have 2 lines coming from the other end
  10. 3/10 seen your name a few times on the forum
  11. Today/last night have been working on creating a little custom android kernel. managed to port over a few things like changing cpu voltages, adding in schedulers and trying to get a new govenor to work. dang hard - need to definitely learn more it would seem. Been trying to get this dam usb dvb-t stick working. Had originally tried the little crappy bundled antenna (i know they almost never work) even went outside to sync, suprise suprise that didnt work. Bought a coax adapter and using the home tv antenna still cant get a signal, maybe need to try a different tv channel scanning program now.
  12. I use ebay ALL the time as we amazon is nearly non-existant here and newegg is about the same (its mainly postage that kills it) anyway; do as other said look at how much feedback they have i never buy from anyone less than say 10-15 alwasy read their previous feedback and see if its from guine accounts and not accounts with less than 10 feedback themself if that all chekcs out and your happy read throught he description and see if anything is a miss check photos; etc. then if all good you can pretty much purchase.
  13. So i have a little question; I am unsure of what my next upgrade should be for this thing :huh: I am thinking of upping my 256gb ssd to a 512gb ssd drive and then migrating the 256 to my notebook. my reasoning is that im starting to hold a lot of android source at the moment and the SSD are great for speeding up building. Sure, there are a lot of read/writes to the drive but meh, its for a purpose its being used for that purpose and I have backups so its all good. My other option is to go for a higher capacity SSD drive and be done with it maybe 1tb. I do have a supp storage drive for the linux partition but it barely has anything on it, so could it be that i do go the higher SSD route and re purpose the HDD drive to specific games or storage for windows (as at present i have a 1tb drive partitioned to 2 separate 500gb with one side games and one side storage)? i realistically was thinking of a pcie ssd drive but the price and the potential incompatibility with linux as a boot drive really has me shying away from that idea
  14. sorry for some reason i never got the notification for the reply in the thread even though i follow it, weird :blink: anyway. I managed to get what i wanted using curl; it is however a bit weird ill post it I can't have any other access than FTP due to the hosting site, so had to work with what i had NOTE - user and passwrd are not variables i obviously aint going to share them or my server lol #!/bin/bash cd /media/joshndroid/ubuntufiles/android/Temasek Roms/Untested/ LT03WIFICMVERSION=$(grep ro.cm.version ~/temasource/out/target/product/lt03wifi/system/build.prop | cut -d= -f2) &&LT03WIFITMVERSION=$(grep temasek_version_default ~/temasource/packages/apps/Settings/res/values/cr_strings.xml | cut -dV -f2 | cut -d"<" -f1) &&LT03WIFIBUILDFILE=cm-${LT03WIFICMVERSION}-${LT03WIFITMVERSION} &&curl -T "$LT03WIFIBUILDFILE.zip" -u [USER]:[PSWRD] ftp://site.com/Temasek\ Roms/Untested/"$LT03WIFIBUILDFILE.zip"
  15. personally i use firefox. i also dislike how chrome reloads tab data on click. had a quick google and you cant seem to turn that setting off with chrome.
  16. if you just seen the first person to 100%, that was me. I also got a cookie. cheers.
  17. LG G watch - first G edition. Just updated to lasted wear source, runs fantastic dont even see a need to upgrade maybe for asthetics, but i got it for $80 so meh
  18. pulled hdd from old notebook (to retire it again) and installed into newer notebook (hdd itself is about a week old) installed debian on it and rejoiced as due to all the screen lockups i get due to grahics on gui in any other linux distro, i was able to install via essentially commands, so currently re-setting up my second set of android source/build environment. Will need to put in the other 2hdds and the cd drive back in though lol read up on how to modify a custom android kernel. fixed up a some borked source due to cyanogenmod making a massive/repo naming convenion change and then reverting it about 24 hours later (grrrrrrrr)
  19. something like this ? http://www.amazon.com/Speed-Reduce-Power-Adapter-Desktop/dp/B007PPHLCS
  20. My easy tune has this issue as well with windows 10, i have a newer z97 board as well. Its annoying but i just have learnt to live with it on boot. The fan control settings in easy tune stilll work. Probably will be my first and last gigabyte board if they do not plan to re-introduce bios based fan control in the future.
  21. sorry to hear that mate. I dont really sell items on ebay as an independant person for this reason, idiot buyers.
  22. i dont actually think so, i believe you are right. exactly, thats why i want 3 monitors, but considering i have had 2 already for a while i may as well spring for a 4k, probably need sli though i find this thing to struggle a little more than i like, while ubuntu is good it is a bit big for this thing. i read up about elementary but it was a little mixed whereas raspbian has had glowing reviews from alot of sources for rpi. I would ideally like something like puppy linux but debian based. i dont want anything that is too heavy as it will be used for a little web browsing/git handling/gediting. so i can use it on my second monitor while my main desktop is running an android build or im watching a steam/etc.
  23. i currently have 2 monitors and actually am thinking of picking up a 4k monitor for a triple setup with the 4k being in the middle. I think you would enjoy the 3 monitors more than the single 4k unless it was an ultra wide monitor
  24. Played around with my raspberry pi, think i have settled on raspian as my distro of choice, very lightweight and seems to run fine, debloated it further by removing further useless programs. Looking to set it up as a secondary machine to use while my main computer is running builds. Looking at debian based distros to potentially run, with hopes of being even more minimal and faster than lubuntu, to get faster android builds also hoping for compatibility with my notebook for my secondary hard drive. My metabox for whatever reason will not run any ubuntu flavour, and i mean none, with constant freezes on live cd/usb. tried many combinations of fixes and just wont work so the secondary hard drive is in a old qosmio notebook with a i7 second gen 1.7ghz mobile and 8gb ram, wow is it slow. did some surfing trying to find a potential firefox replacement after reading that they are going to be ending support for their old extension structure, stumbled on some x64bit firefox versions such as waterfox and cyberfox. Currently seeing fantastic load times and page rendering on cyberfox (specific package for x64bit intel) currently just set it up and debloated (removed reader/pocket/disabled web rtc) and sync'd usual xmarks/lastpass/noscript, etc. currently watching the footy, with a beer, about to setup the pi with some git stuff to play with an android kernel
  25. Yes, so hoping a fork will pickup where they left off when it comes down to the crunch. I don't want to use chrome having a good albeit declining experience withbfirefox (due to recently getting frequent crashes and the like)
