    Guiltyxz reacted to WereCatf in cpu instead of gpu   
    If they were rendering everything using CPU, you wouldn't be getting even 1 FPS. Your software is just wrong.

    This is a 'budget' build for a girl who doesn't have a ton of money to spend but wants something that can competently play 1080 resolution games at 60 fps...

    Guiltyxz reacted to WereCatf in slow speeds on powerline adapter   
    Powerline-adapters are very susceptible to wiring-quality in your building and any other devices consuming power, because they may end up causing interference. We can't really tell you what your problem is, you'd have to do it yourself: disconnect every electronic device in your home and see if that improves speeds and, if not, your problem would likely be your wiring and then you'd need to replace it.

    It should work as long as they run at the same speeds/timings, but I wouldn't recommend it. You would be better to just get a new kit with 2x 2gb sticks. Also I found this on the website:

    Guiltyxz reacted to Arrogath in Anyone else think it's strange that there are no 6 core APU's?   
    I think cost is a concern when you start going too up scale with the APU, but I would love to see something from AMD with 6 or 8 cores and a decent integrated graphics chip. It would make for a great mini-itx media/gaming box for by the TV

    Guiltyxz reacted to mariushm in AMD drivers for Windows 8.1   
    Download the ones for Windows 7  or Windows 10. Basically, download the installer, it's the same for both operating systems.
    If the installer refuses to install, just go in device manager, hit update driver on the video card and browse to C:\AMD \ Drivers something, (C:\AMD being where the installer temporarily unpacks before the installation starts )

    Guiltyxz reacted to Ashleyyyy in Apple fined for slugging phones   
    I had a 3GS and when that got old the random shutdowns drove me absolutely insane. 
     
    I'm very glad apple chooses this route rather than letting the phone shutdown. the fact they can get fined for this amazes me. besides it's a feature you can disable if you want a terrible experience.

    Guiltyxz reacted to Jumballi in Xbox says Sony and Nintendo are no longer their competition   
    Apple and Nintendo are then obvious winners here with their focus on mobile experiences that blend into a larger more robust one like a tv(switch) or laptop(MacBook).
     
    As powerful as the tech in a cloud gaming server is, we still are managing, and will continue to manage for several decades down the line, to shrink those exact same parts into efficient mobile parts. And if I can get last years server in my phone with none of the drawbacks of latency, then I’ll take that.

    Most of them use the same 4pin RGB header as is on some motherboards and do work with ASUS Aura etc so if you run the connector (they mostly have seperate power and lighting control) into your PC case you could use your motherboard if it supports it

    Which is what is apparently happening.  The justification is too weak to make it worth doing though which is why I think it’s likely something else as well.  Generally it’s to protect an Internet by screwing over another one.  Perhaps it’s Britian (because they’re about to not be in the EU) perhaps it’s China, perhaps it’s the US.  I have no idea.  I’m quite curious though.

    Guiltyxz reacted to Donut417 in The end of lightning is nigh, possibly.   
    The EU reminds me of an HOA. Those fuckers are always over reaching. Ticketing and towing people on Public roads, which is illegal for them to do because those are maintained by the government, meaning only the police have a legal right to ticket or tow. But they dont seem to care. 
     
    What would be funny is if Apple made an EU version of the iPhone, but just to be dicks, the EU version was a generation or two behind the rest of the world. So they are in compliance with the EU regulations, but are just being dickish with it. Thats what I would do and it would be legal because the EU cant control products sold in other parts of the world.

    Guiltyxz reacted to Kisai in The end of lightning is nigh, possibly.   
    I think regulation in this regard should be part of standardization on exactly one or one-and-a-half standards. We do need to tread lightly though, because if you make the regulation too rigid, then all you've done is favored VHS over Blueray.
     
    This is how I'd "solve" the charger problem. All devices should use USB-C (not USB-A) going forward if they pull more than 2.5watts, and explicitly use the USB PD mode. Any device that can charge another device should have only a USB-C port for this purpose and have a labeled "power" icon. ?
     
    If a device is "charge/power only" then the USB-C connector or cable should have the power icon and a NO-Data icon.
     
    This is what I mean by one-and-a-half. Any USB-C device that the user has control over, should allow powering another USB-C device. USB-C PD (up to 100 watts or so) can power just about everything except high end laptops and large computer screens. USB-C devices that the user can not have control over (eg public charging access points) should instead have the "no data" icon on them and the device should not connect any data, and if the user is concerned that the device can not be trusted, they can also indicate to their device to "charge only" when connected, or use a cable that has only the charging pins connected.
     
    For devices that are >100 watts, multiple USB-C connections should be provided in a standard "side-by-side" layout (see some high end laptops) so that a double USB-C cable can exist. Once you get to about 200 watts, you're into the $100+ dedicated power supply brick already.
     
    Once there is a standard, then you stop needing power bricks because housing, hotels, and other places people gather can have these ports as standard equipment, and users don't end up having to worry about losing USB chargers when they travel. 
     
    That still leaves one problem. The cable. A 100w USB-C PD cable is not a thin cable, so if someone forgets their cable and they use a non-PD capable cable, they're going to be kinda pissed that the USB-C charger doesn't work.
     
    Wireless is not the answer.

    Guiltyxz reacted to Brooksie359 in The end of lightning is nigh, possibly.   
    Honestly I think apple should be able to use what cables and ports it wants and should not have to use some universal standard because the EU said so. I'm sorry but I don't want the EU making up rules for what tech companies can do with their own technology.
