EnderCat

My girlfriend got the error 0xc000021a which is preventing her from booting up her computer. She has important files on there and every repair step we try keeps failing to even start up. I'm too far from her to help her physically and she's not very skilled in computer hardware. Is there anyway to help her?

So I'm trying to use driver4vr to make a vr setup and I'm having issues connecting my gear vr controllers. 1 of them was working but now when I turn it on near my PC it keeps flashing on my bluetooth settings that it's switching from paired to connected over and over again, and it won't let me remove it. My second problem is I can't even connect my other controller, when I click on it it just says connecting, my controller light flashes a few times, then it says could not pair device or whatever. I'm also using an ASUS USB-BT400. Can anyone help me?

So I'm trying to make a VR setup and I need a 15 foot HDMI extension cables and same for USB. I was wondering if there's any way I could custom sleeve the two together? My plan for now is just electrical tape them together.

Well it's great for what it is (it came in today) meaning it was cheap and will hopefully scratch that vr itch (along with driver4vr and some gear vr controllers) untill I can get a windows mixed reality headset or something

I would do that, if I wasn't a floor up and across the house of my router. I am getting a WVR2 headset which might hopefully be as good or better than riftcat or ivry

so I'm trying to use vridge but I don't have a sim card to tether my pc to my phone, so I bought an unactivated sim card and it works. Question is, will it charge me or anything as long as I keep it unactivated?

All of my audio drivers stopped working, I think it was something to do with trying to update a kinect audio driver which seems to be gone now. All of the drivers say "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"

So I'm trying to put together a freetrack 3 point active IR tracker clip but I basically only have just enough money for the actual clip, not the camera. I've seen everywhere that I should use a playstation eye camera with a filter I can find from a floppy disk, but I don't have the money for that. I do have an xbox 360 kinect camera already though, is there any way I could make that work?

Sooooo I'm kind of just experimenting with this and I don't have a phone with a gyroscope to actually test it, but, I have actually had an idea of how to do this. Of course RiftCat is how you can use your phone for your VR display (and of course this will not be nearly as good as the real VR headsets but it's amazingly cheap if you have the right phone) but what everyone's having trouble with is the hand tracking. Now again I haven't tested this but with Driver4VR you can use a kinect camera to control your body in VR. This translates your kinect camera's skeleton it made for you into controller movement so you can have full body tracking. But, what I was assuming (again I haven't tested so don't hate me too much) is that it could control your hands too. That would mean it would handle all the tracking other than the orientation, and you can use a normal controller to press the buttons after you point at it with your tracker. There's also an option in rift cat where you can use another phone with gyroscope as a controller which may even fix the orientation issue mentioned eairlier. Now for this to be do able you'd have to have 3 working phones with gyroscopes in your house, which some people upgrade their phones a lot and keep their old versions just in case, or you may be lucky and find a crappy phone with a gyroscope used online.

So this headset keeps cutting out and making weird sounds whenever I move my head while wearing it. Kinda like the sounds when you have a bad pair of earbuds and spin them around in the jack. Anyway to fix this?

So not a PC mod but I have this cheap Chinese smart watch I got on amazon for like $10 or something and it's honestly kinda useless? I was wondering if there was anyway to make it any less useless by like putting some different program on it or something? Not sure if I'm just completely crazy for thinking this but might as well ask.

I just unplugged and replugged every power connector but the hard drives cuz they're in the back, it has 12gb ddr3, an r7 270 I think, I forgot what i3 it has, 2 320gb hard drives and 1 500gb, and a evga 600w 80+ bronze rated psu. Edit. If I turn the psu off for a minute then back on, it turns on for half a second again

I don't know if this is the right place to put this but I really need some help. My older brother gave me his old pc and I was cleaning it out so my brothers can use it, but after I added the hard drives and tried turning it on, the fans turned on for half a second then turned off. I tried turning it on again but nothing happened. I opened it up and tried jumping the power pins but nothing happened, I unplugged the 24 pin and plugged it back it and jumped the pins again, the fans worked for half a second again and turned off and I'm back where I started. What can I do

Bump

I'm trying to use my phone as a sound recorder for filming (got a small shotgun mic and an adapter and stuff) but there's one thing I'm looking for. I'm trying to find an android app that lets you listen to the audio while you're recording so I can make sure everything's good instead of just hoping I got it until I listen to it again. Anyone got any suggestions?

Original post One of the several stories about it

Found out what they're talking about. Turns an amateur coder made an accusatory (and kinda racist) post saying about how it has weird traffic from it and checks steam files and stuff. Epic responded to it saying it's all false and explained what's happening and blah blah blah

You know you could help people NOT be as naive by explaining it and not just saying "Naive..."

Upgrading everything to that ryzen, 100%

You aren't some messiah coming to lead away the blind, you're just a toxic steam fanboy. I'm 16 in a rural area where I literally can't make money. Don't try to spin some blogging crap because that leads nowhere fast when the only thing you can blog about is the weather where you live. Why is the steam overlay such a big deal for you, indie titles can have it without everyone freaking out about it. And even discord is making exclusive games, you can't just say "It's not steam so screw it", yes as you said they are a business is purely for profit and blah blah blah but that's literally every company. I think they will eventually change and start branching out with other partners. Gabe Newell didn't wanna partner with sony before portal 2, he eventually did branch out and became more community-based. Either they will improve or they will die out, that's just the way this kind of game works. And yes the fortnite community is a bunch of 12-year-olds with their parent's credit cards (and I honestly dislike that community) but they will eventually die out as well, give it a few years and they'll either grow up or get bored of the thing. Plus the devs that made the free games still made sales (probable pennies per copy) and their game still lives on a few years after their community died out, bringing new members to their community. Also even if after this you're still gonna be preachy "All hail Gabe Newell" stuff then no one's probably gonna listen, especially since this is a post about free games that us "sheep" will be magnetized to. It's free games, suck it up, no one cares, move on. I'm done with this crap

Just because you can't afford every game you want and take what you can get doesn't make you a sheep, as a company I don't like Epic but I suck it up cuz I'm broke and can't get a job. You are giving time to their launcher but that doesn't even mean you have to care about the company, I care about the game. I could add the games on steam as a non-steam game and you wouldn't know the difference, because you play the games to PLAY THE GAMES, not to fanboy about who you got it from. And if fortnite players wanna spend their hard earned money on something they enjoy doing then why would you care. I'm sure you spent money on a game that you only played through once. Does that make you brain dead? Does spending money on something you enjoy doing make you brain dead?

Yup, did it myself

Thanks, I figured out if you cook a grenade just right you can kill them and progress without using any bullets

I'm doing a challenge where I use the minimum required bullets while beating GTA V single player. Now this means I only use a bullet if I absolutely NEED to, so if I can get through a section without it then I have to try. Right now I've gotten to Micheal's yacht mission and I only used one bullet, my problem right now is someone tries to throw Franklin off the boat which it wants me to use a bullet. Anyone think there's any way to kill him without bullets? Like can you blow up the truck or can you throw grenades on boats on trucks? Ofc this is still just the beginning of the game so I will probably need more help, that said if you wanna help for a bit longer than a comment you can also PM me and we can talk on discord. Thanks!

Also real quick since you seem to know what you're talking about, is a PoE injector the same thing as a powerline adapter? I know it might seem like a really dumb question but I just found this $25 PoE injector and I'm confused if there's a differance
