  1. I completely forgot to say this, because I forgot about it. I do not like notches at all. It would infuriate me
  2. As the title says whats a good phone for £200-250. Only main requirement is it's got to have a headphone jack. (type C would be nice but not needed) Edit: Another requirement- No notch
  3. everything but the power supply far as I am conserned. And you can buy the PSU if it should either be a good quailty one or for a machine you don't give a shit about.
  4. I am currently trying to learn how to use SharpDX and I am having issues on working out how to load 3D models into this, how do you do this??? Thanks (I'm using C#)
  5. yea, I got this keyboard a while ago, and I got it second hand so it's quite well used. Although out of all the keys I would of thought it would of been w or e that broke first not s, considering I wouldn't say I press that one the most at all
  6. it's at least 4-5 (maybe even up to 6-7) years old and I have abused it a little but too much so I might try to fix it but either way I need a new one and this one will be repurposed for something
  7. My curren t keyboards a Corair strafe so I have gotten ued to it
  8. right that sounds like the K70 i probably bet for me then caue fuck it (alo I can't be bothed pating in the "" )
  9. what' the diffrence between the K68 and K70??? (the k70 is actually about £102 with 4 day shipping rather than half a month, or £109 with next day, which I am fine with but just checking to see if there is a big diffrence apart from the K68 has RGB and it £4 cheaper with next day)
  10. My keyboard has now a broken "s" and a few other dodgy ones key, so whats a good keyboard I can get to replace it for about £80-100, perferably with Cherry MX Blues or maybe Reds. Also a num pad is needed and a backlight of sorts (either fixed colour or RGB I don't care which)
  11. As the title says I need a easy 3D graphic library to code some generate some really basic graphics (it's a bunch of coloured spheres and a thin rings) whats a good library/way to do this in???
  12. I have a RPG game coming up which is set in the furture, and I am planning to get a cheap 2nd hand 2 in 1 Laptop off ebay for cheap and I need either a Linux version which has a futuristic GUI. All it needs to do is to read pdfs, open basic files and not much else.
  13. yea I think the install was dodgy or something like that
  14. it is the open document, used to get the text from the open TXT file. The problem is the plugin manager was not installing it correctly. This is the install instructions I found https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17256/guide-how-to-install-the-pythonscript-plugin-on-notepad-7-6-3-7-6-4-and-above Here's the documentation about the plugin which explains how to code for this plugin http://npppythonscript.sourceforge.net/docs/latest/index.html
  15. I have so far (in theory) downloaded python script and installed it and it should be working (Again in theory) the problem is now the macro I am trying to run isn't working and I am not sure if this is because the code is not working or if something else isn't. The console seams to be working and the macro is shown below. All it is to do is turn 1 2 3 4 into 1, 2, 3, 4 and well it's not and I have about 500 sets to do that to so I would like to work at somepoint. Have I just made a stupid mistake or is there some other issue def Split(Lines): Output = "" First = True C = 0 Max = len(Lines) - 1 while (C < Max): if (First): First = False Output = Lines[C] else: Output = Output + ", " + Lines[C] C += 1 if (not (IsEmpty(Lines[Max]))): Output = Output + "," + Lines[Max] return Output def IsEmpty(Line): for Char in Line: if (Char != " "): return False return True Lines = editor.getText().Split("\r\n") print(Lines) SplitLines = Split(Lines) print(SplitLines) editor.setText(SplitLines)
  16. far as I can see the BBC makes most of it's money from the TV lisence. Which although how much a lisense costs is controlled by the government (far as I remember) it gets paid directly to the BBC, so it's sorta government funded but sorta not. That being said yes they do have some bias on alot of their stories, but compaired to many other news sources they do on alot of topics do do a better job at being impartial, which is also helped by the fact that they are legally required to be unbiased with news stories. (how well they do that and what side they sway to depends on your own opionion).
  17. 1. Thus the origional disclamier at the top 2. That is why I still thought it was approriate to post it here as it does sound like something they would do
  18. no the BBC is just the BBC or (ifyour a cunt) the beebs. The only reason I can see of them trying this is they want an alternative which doesn't spy on your or more likely the people who spy on you aren't trying to sell you stuff so it's not as bad. I personally think that the BBC is better than lets say google, but yea. I also hope they don't tie it to heir ecosystem and do use other systems.
  19. Quick Disclamier This is a rumour because the main source here is the Daily Mail (who have "sources" none of which are public) and all other sources I have checked pretty much use the Daily Mail as their main source meaning take this with a pinch of salt, I also can't find any information abrout it on the BBC website itself. As the title says the BBC designing an alternative voice-Activated Assistant called "Auntie" (The name is going to change on release I believe.... luckily) [1] So the goal from the sounds of the goal here the assistant would have similar if not the same permissions, abilities and controls to the 3 main assistants at the moment and seams to be (at least initally) UK only, but I can see it being expanded to include other countries if it is a successful project which people start using. [1] I am ok with the BBC creatign their own version of the smart speaker with "auntie" (that name just keeps getting worse) but I have a feeling that if the BBC does this by regulatory restaint that the end result could be that the implimentation of their new assistant will not be particularly good. Overall I think if this is real and is happening this is a good thing as it means that there is an alternative to tech giants which has a good trusted reputaion (in general), who I have a feeling will give you almost if not full control over what data is sent to them (although that could turn out to be false) I personally would trust the BBC over google, apple or amazon and I personally don't use these devices but I think that if the BBC creates this and it is both popular and not completely useless it might be successful. Especially if it can understand the Scots. sources 1- https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6991201/BBC-develops-voice-activated-assistant-bid-rival-Amazons-Alexa-Apples-Siri.html 2- https://www.anglenews.com/2019/05/04/bbc-develops-a-voice-activated-assistant-in-a-bid-to-rival-amazons-alexa-or-apples-siri/ (uses the [1] as it's main source) Also side note, if this is real what should the BBC call the assistant, and apart from "Daddy" is their any names which are worse than "Auntie" for an assistant?
  20. Have you tried using the old CPU in the socket and see if that fixes the problem, if it doesn't might be a problem with the motherboard if it does, CPU is probably the problem. (edit - I will be honest I didn't read your trouble shooting steps (It's been a long day)) sounds like a CPU problem try get your money back but your motherboard can support that CPU on that bios update, but it does look like it's still outdated so update it and maybe that might help (doubt it but it's a good idea to keep the bios up to date anyways so can't hurt)
  21. I use spotify premium (I bought premium because I needed offline songs as I was using too much data) but before on desktop I used the Spotify app with a sporify adblocker called Ez Blocker, worked perfectly fine for me in most cases (have 1 PC it didn't work on but anyways. I upgraded recently and holly fucking shit does spotify hate me now, I can only downlload on my phone (the 2 laptops I have tried to download onto doesn't accept it) and my main laptop won't even play a full song it will get 5s through one then pause and never unpause....)Works fine on my phone mind sooo still worth it for me as I listen to ALOT of music like 12+ hours a day
  22. Either do what jstudrawa suggested or or your other option is to do a fresh install onto the SSD (This is better if you want to get rid of bloatware, unneeded applications, etc. but it is more time intensive and also takes a bit more skill) to do a fresh install Go here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Download the tool Run the Exe your downloading select a USB drive of suitable size (think it needs to be 8GB) Boot up selected the USB device to boot from Select the new SSD as the Drive to install onto and sit back and relax... for a while Then go to bios and change boot order so the SSD is now selected over your hard drive Moving ALL of the files you want to keep Hard Drive onto the SSD After doing either of these options (if your PC has the space) I would reccomend formating the drive (to get rid of the old windows install) then move data back over and use it as a secondary drive. (This will delete your data so make sure all the data/files etc you want are on your SSD or another drive before doing this. You can move your data back over once you have finished a format of the drive)
  23. what about tiffs, jpgs, and other file types
