  1. Here are some more FO4 shots for those of you who are not yet tired of it. So far mod count is only up to 50, can't wait for the creation kit it should get much better in both aesthetics and gameplay.

    My new settlement is so very welcoming...

  2. Only played it for a few hours and already have over 30 mods... I wonder how long I can go without having to give up due to save corruption form pre-GECK plugins and lots of plugin switching.

     

    My view from the office:

    Yup gonna need some distant LOD mods ASAP... although in all fairness I did set it up conservatively for constant 60FPS.

    I have no idea what the black stuff is but it only happened when I was destroyed. :lol:

     

     

     

    GOOD LORD IN HEAVEN THAT LEVEL!

     

    Ended up topping out at about level 67.5M... Wormhole FTW I guess.

  4.   You may be upset but HBO has every right to restrict access. They are out to try and make money

    They sell their product to more then just the consumers at this point in time. The sell it to service 

    providers as a middle man. If people can get "HBO NOW" by bypassing  systems that will

    hurt the service providers and work its way up the chain to HBO. HBO would rather Protect the

    business relation ship with the provider then sell to a very minor demographic of people that

    currently know how to bypass the system.  If it were as easy to bypass as a TV and a remote

    HBO would be all over selling directly to the consumer but its not. It take a little know how and 

    their main demographic of 35-55 doesn't have the skills or patients to deal with learning a new

    system such as a roku, pc, or chrome cast.  Once we see the logging into your "HBO NOW" account

    as easy as hitting power then flipping to the channel you want we will see a change not before then.

     

    True, but not serving those people would not provide any benefit to the service provider either as they'd then have to turn to piracy.

  5. I usually troubleshoot all my problems and help others troubleshoot theirs but this has me kind of stumped.

     

    To start from the beginning at one point about a year ago my 2 year old PC decided it didn't want to send a signal to my monitor when I try to boot, the monitor didn't mention that there was no signal as it would if I disconnect it but it simply showed nothing and went into standby mode as if the PC was in sleep, otherwise the PC seemed to behave normally.

     

    The weird part is that if I left the PC completely turned off (from the PSU switch/wall socket) for a few hours and then turned it on again everything worked fine. If I then turned it off for a short while or put it into sleep the display would stop working (restarting was ok IIRC), so then I'd have to turn everything off for a few hours etc. but as long as the pc was kept on there were no issues. reinstalling drivers and even formatting the hard drive and starting fresh did not solve the issue.

     

    Given that my monitor worked fine with other PCs and that it was a good excuse for an upgrade (especially given how loud the reference HD6870 was) I figured it was a problem with the GPU so I upgraded to a 760 ACX SC and bought a new PSU from a brand I trust just in case.

     

    The problem then went away but now, out of the blue, it's back, the exact same issue. Monitor works fine with different PCs but using another monitor on my PC gave the same issue, the monitor seems to be ok and I find it a bit hard to believe that the GPU is experiencing the same issue (I guess I could try swapping my GPU with one from another PC to test but I really can't afford to waste too much time at the moment waiting for my pc to decide to work, so that will have wait for after the exams) so maybe motherboard/CPU (BIOS has been reset just in case but they're unchanged for the original issue), I do feel they're due for an upgrade (then again I always feel that way xD) especially since the motherboard is about as entry level as they come (ASUS P8h61 PLUS) my sensible side thinks it's better to focus my money elsewhere if it's possible :P.

     

    I'd appreciate it if anyone might give me some insight as to what you think the issue might be, thanks in advance.

  6. This is true. By the time you get to the point of writing that much data to a SSD, newer and better and cheaper SSDs have been launched, thus allowing your SSD to experience a failure and you not being as screwed on a replacement.

    Actually most people would have probably retired the ssd for other reasons by that time.

    Mark my words, Samsung 850 Evo is the

    one to get whenever it's out.

    Such a pity they didn't include an 840 EVO in this test (I believe it had just been released when they started it) it would have given us a good idea of how well the TLC SLC combo works. With VNAND TLC it should really be awesome though, I guess TR will have to make another test with VNAND SSDs once these fail xD.
