I tried motionjoy. It did not work with wireless, or at least was too confusing to work.

Okay, let's skip the youtube advertising bs and answer this question: So I bought a $25 PS3 Wireless controller from Walmart. It has a wireless dongle/USB drive made for a PS3. Is it possible to get this to work for my laptop/steam games? I've plugged in the wireless device and the controller connects and my laptop recognizes a gamepad was plugged in. However when I launch minecraft Windows 10 edition (made for a controller), it doesn't recognize it. Help me, please? I've looked it up on youtube/the internet and everything leads me to various sketchy websites to get 'better drivers'. Thanks, -LukeS

Everyone does, right?

What do you mean by "LED" memory?

And this is why I said use 2 HDDs...

Why not buy another hard drive? Or USB...

Yup. I know. We had WAY more questions, but I was on the directed answer team. We just wanted numbers for statistics, not facts. I could care less either way for the argument. Just do you.

I did this poll at a local public area for a debate on violent video games: First question was as follows: Are you a parent or older sibling? (yes) Does your children/child/siblings play video games? (yes) Would you be okay if they played a video game which was violent? (yes) Okay, here's some footage of a game called GTA5. Would you be okay with me playing this on my own? (yes) Okay, would you be okay with your child/sibling playing this? (<40% said yes, >50% said no) What if I told you that violent video games can induce anger and stimulate a lack of patience and increase violent outbursts (scientifically proven)? (ALL Said no, they would not want someone they loved playing this game) Are you aware of the ratings on video games like there are movies? (no) If you saw your sibling/child buying a game which was marked out of their age range, would you stop them? (most likely, yes) Would you buy tobacco for your child/sibling? (no) Would you buy this game for your child/sibling, if the rating was out of their age range? (no) here's a list of video games that are marked "M" or "T" this indicates that they are for a mature audience or strictly for Teens. Does your child/sibling own or play one of these? (yes) Knowing the statistics, are you okay with them playing the game? (no) Will you change what you're doing? (this answer was varied) Some of the elderly people we interviewed basically said the same thing: violent video games are like violent movies. You just need to use your brain for reality. The public is aware of the dangers of video games. Yet it is ignored. Overall, I think there's yet to be good evidence that the benefits of first person shooters out weigh the negativities. Yet I shall keep on playing them. It's like smoking, y'know?

Sounds like this could go on "technology's biggest failures" when it airs in the future....

To be honest, my dad and I just switched over to SSD's this year. Well I did because my HDD corrupted (first time in my life), so I got an SSD. It increased performance so well, that my dad got one. Now I can't turn back. Plus I use the cloud (OneDrive, iCloud, GoogleDrive, Evernote, DropBox) for everything I need to store. I don't game a lot minus Dota2 (my PC is too junk to play anything else, minus the occasional Insurgency or Starbound with OP, ironically) so I have only used up about half my storage.

Haha yeah, my bad, just looked it up, I was thinking the wrong price. Oops! Still, SSD Masterrace amirite.

Here's a challenge: I'm 16 and going into the medical field. Right now the toughest part for me is doing all my online classes (Post-med, medschool, and homeschool) on a junkie 2014 laptop which is literally dying (the power, usb slots, aux, graphics card (if there is one), and now battery are going bad). My budget is anywhere from $0-350 USD (I'd like to be cheap). This is what I already have for parts: A lot of random DDR2 laptop RAM. Sells for nothing, so it's sitting on my desk. Over 3 TB in memory + personal server (my dad is an artist and computer programmer...). In my laptop I have a 256 GB SSD Card which I'd plan to swap out 1920x1080 Desktop HP 2210m Perphs: Razer Naga 2014 Razer Blackwidow 2014 Along with a bunch of random wired mice Logitech Trackman Trackball SteelSeries Siberia 100 SteelSeries Siberia 200 Mouspad: I might get the Razer Firefly for Christmas, is it worth it (I can get it if I wanted to, I just don't know if it's worth it). Otherwise, I use my desk for a mousepad. I have like 2 desktop cases from desktops which I've acquired. I think they'd suffice the build. I also have standard PSU's for normal working desktop (don't know the power off the top of my head) I'm not concerned for extras, I have a guitar amp if I wanted a nice speaker system If the build exceeds the price, just go as cheap as possible for a good multiuse PC... I would build myself, but too busy to sit down and study. Plus my OCD would kill me.... Thanks! Good luck mate, -LukeS note: I know that $350 USD is nothing. That's why I said challenge. Feel free to add on a few items even if it goes over price, as long as it's worth it.

What monitor are you planning on? Depending on your budget, I'd upgrade that RAM. Also, upgrade the Memory to a 256 SSD, if he will be using the PC for anything else. If you want to spoil him rotten, what peripherals will you add on?

Am I the only person who prefers SSD to HDD? It's faster and, yes, you lose the massive storage space, but for $60 you can still get 500 GB... Which to me is a good deal. Also, I wouldn't suggest a WIFI converter, hardwire is much better, that is if you're gaming. Good luck mate! -LukeS

Isopropyl Alcohol. Or Windex (ammonia).

Would still suggest GIMP over this option Also, if you have a MsX (Windows 10) PC, check out the windows store; they're bound to have some good apps there.

Shoulda done a multiquote... oops... Ummm no they do not. But 5 2 TB HDD's, a 250 SSD, and tons of cloud space and a server exist.

You can probably get auto save to work... Let me see if paint has it, brb. As for professional or not, a Wacom tablet is still a great option. Though now they have actual tablets with styluses.... EDIT: Well this is unfortunate, Paint does not have an auto save option. Good luck on it! Another idea is to turn off automatic updates.

A few tips from a student who's father majored in art as well as computer science: 1) Don't use paint. It's only good for one thing: trolling (this is what I say). Get Gimp for FREE (it's as good as photoshop imho. I've used the newest and latest versions of Photoshop as well as the older versions. I still enjoy Gimp more). OR Buy photoshop, but all the filters and such can be intimidating to a new learner. 2) Buy her a Wacom Drawing Pad for Christmas if she doesn't already have one. 3) SAVE everytime you make a new layer or change. And save it to a different name so you have back-ups. Wonder why artists need 200 TB+ of memory? They save even the junkie revisions of drawings just to make extras in case of a file corruption. Best of luck to you mate! -LukeS

I think that you may need to buy a new phone then. BIOS corruption normally involves the motherboard. At least from my experiences.

Yup, okay, thanks! Not too sure what/who they are, but it got super suspicious after "amazon rewards company" successfully hacked my email (my ISP's fault because they only allow a 16-digit password)....

Have you tried a hard reset? (Power button plus volume down)? If you're crazy like me, attempt to short the Micro-USB input. Also, buy a new cable and try to use that.

So over the weekend my email got hacked, the wifi died, and I've been getting a lot of spam email. I don't think any of the three are relevant to eachother, however the spam emails have been coming from the domain "uu.net". Is anyone familiar with this domain? I just want to make sure it isn't a popular website before I eternally block it from sending me emails. Thanks! -LukeS

So you never existed?

Some people don't use bleach, ya know. Amonia ftw!
