  1. So I have a 50mbps plan, when I do a speedtest I get around 48mbps, which is normal, but when I actually download something my speed is way way lower. E.g., I was downloading a game from steam and the max Dowland speed I got was around 2.7MB/s, being less than half of the 6MB/s I should theoretically get. I'm connected via ethernet and tested this with a playstation as well. I'm really confused right now, am I missing something?
  2. So I have a very annoying problem, a really big house. My router is plugged in on one end and my room is on the other end. Obviously wifi in my room is terrible. Is it possible to use a second router (I have a line in my room as well), that works simultaneously with the one I already have? I can use 2 phone devices using the same number this way, will Internet work too and If yes, will this affect my speed? (I have 50mps)
  3. I was thinking about the book store my self. Custom pcs etc are too "typical", most students choose this type of stores, so I'd rather avoid them and do something more distinct
  4. We have this project in college, we have to build an eshop then present it to the class. I'm running low on ideas though.. I don't want it to be the "typical" pc-gaming-clothes eshop, since thats what more students did in the past. Anyone has an idea?
  5. I have a Sony Xperia Z3 running cm14, that has served me well over the years, but recently it's acting a bit weird. At first it would restart when I dropped it, I blamed it on the battery getting out of place, since the back glass is broken and a part of the battery is exposed. Yesterday though, the phone started restarting randomly, even when I have it on a solid surface, just watching a YouTube video, not even touching it. It works great while charging, while for some reason it will super charge after 50%, (it takes about an hour and a half to reach 50%, while it takes less than 10 minutes from there to reach 100%) this started happening from yesterday as well. The battery is relatively new, i have changed it less than a year ago. I also tried to calibrate the battery, but it didnt help at all. No new apps installed or settings changed.
  6. I thought that a fan project to do this christmas would be to put a rasbery in a dead psone console I have and turn it to an emulation box. Since it is the first hardware modding I'll do though, I need some help and all the tutorials I found onlnie were for the fat model. Would anyone happen to have a tutorial of some sort or something?
  7. I try to convert my mbr to gpt but cmd gives me an error. I also tried easeus partition master but I dont even get the option to do it on the driver I want, while the option is there for my hdd that has no os in it. Any ideas?
  8. I've tried both a usb 3 and 2 port. So far I've only managed to reach the window that you choose the ssd-hdd but I get a missing driver issue. Apparently, based on what I read online, windows 7 and prior versions arent supported by intels newst cpus, ther is a fix for win 7, but nothing for vista. I'll try installing them on an older laptop that I have and then move the hdd to the desktop, it could probably work, last time I did something simular my desktop booted straight to win 7, which was the os I had in the laptop I took the hdd from, so I hope that the same will happen with vista.
  9. Well it seems that I have some more troubledhooting to do before the gpu. Vista's installation program refuses to start on kaby lake so I'll have to fix this first
  10. Cool I'll try it I'm not going to use them for ever, just for a week or so, like a test or something. I want to try the 64 bit version of xp after this, but I think that I'll have waaaaay more issues with my hardware ?
  11. After watching Linus'es video about vista I decided to install them on my system and use them as my only os for a week or so, just for the lolz. The problem is that my gpu is the gtx 1060 which doesnt have drives for vista and using them without drivers isnt the best idea.... Any way to install them?
  12. I have a dell e6410 witch I really like, but it's getting old. What I want is to replace the mobo with one from a newer system, since I really like this dells build quality and looks in general. Is this possible and what should I be aware of if I try to do this?
  13. I tried again this time using Linux mint 18.3 (same laptop) and it connected immediately. Windows still can't connect though... No matter the browser and site.
  14. Looking for a budget mechanical keyboard around 30€ any good recommendations?
  15. Idk, it worked fine with the live cd, not the fastest thing, that's for sure, but definitely acceptable. I'm trying again now, it seems that after 78% the installation slows down for some reason. It takes like 5 minutes to reach 78 and it's been 4 hours since, but it actually managed to reach 81%, so I'm leaving it to see what it will do. I'd try an other version, but I'm out of cds, so until I get some I'm stuck with 10.04. The Celeron being a Celeron decided all of a sudden that it doesn't want to post anymore, so I'm stuck with the pentium.
  16. Trying to install unbutu Lts 10.04 on the pentium. First attempt: the installation stuck at 79% had a skip option that wouldn't do anything. Manually turned of the system Second attempt: the installation stuck again, this time at 78% on "configure network" no lan cable, WiFi adapter or anything else, the system is offline. No skip option either this time, it's been like this for about half an hour now.
  17. I'm using opera. I've typed the address that appears when I'm about to log in on my phone but still got nothing.
  18. My college provides free wifi to which I can connect with a user name and a password that they provide me. My phone connects to it normally, I open chrome it redirects me to the log in page i put my password and works fine. My laptop one the other hand, will connect to the network but it won't redirect me to the log in page making it impossible to access any site. Anyone knows what can I do?
  19. I have two old pcs, one pentium 3 with 512mb ram and a celeron with 1,5 gb ram. I want a good os with gui to host a web server using them, just to play around with ( these systems are useless for anything else other than playing with anyway). So does anyone know any any os that would be usable on them? No need the latest version, I'm fine with a version thats 10 years old as well, since I'm doing this mostly to get some experience.
  20. I just bought a Xperia play, I thought that it would be cool to have as a back up phone. Anyways, I try to access the playstation store and I can't, same with the Google market. Crash bandicoot that comes with the phone will download the data it requires though. Anyone knows what's up?
  21. I'd choose the thinkpad. Haven't used this particular model though, but I'm very pleased with my experience with thinkpads so far.
  22. Today my sister gave her old s3 to my mother ( she is too old to even care about how old the phone is, her previous device didnt even have a camera, this is a MASSIVE upgrade for her). Anyway, the phones battery is almost dead and we told her that she had ti replace it to make the phone last longer, so being the genius she is, she went to ebay and ordered a PRE-f****** -OWNED battery. Then she proceed in buying some fancy iphone 8 caces (she thought that they would feet the phone), a usb c cable and a digitizer, of all things thinking that it is a screen protector .......... I'm terrified for the future
  23. So the battery charges then? Could be annoying if I can't tell how much is actually left, but I think I could leave with it.
