    Kanna reacted to mariushm in CD says 100MB used while empty preventing burn   
    I use imgBurn - it's freeware The Official ImgBurn Website
     
    During the installation, a page in the setup process may offer to install Google Toolbar or a free antivirus, but just pay attention at the screen and click on the Skip or Cancel or uncheck and it will not install anything you don't want.
    Otherwise it's completely free and legit and safe and very good.
     
    For regular files and folders , or to make a cd with mp3 files on it (if the cd player can play back mp3 files), you can simply use  "Write files/folders to disc"
    For audio cd  as in a disc with audio tracks, and up to 74-99 minutes of audio, you have to use Tools > Create CUE file...
     

     
    A window like the one below will open up, and you can simply drag your mp3 files into that big empty space and wait a bit for the program to scan them ...
    You have below an example.
    You can add a gap between songs, or set to 0 if you want to play as a whole disc mix without pauses between songs
    You can enable cd-text if you want and fill up artist and song title if your cd player supports it
    When done, hit OK and save it somewhere as a cue file.
     

     
    Now you can go back in the main interface and select  "Write image file to disc" and select the CUE file :
     

     
    Select at Source your CUE file and then select burn speed from the right (for >80min I'd suggest sticking to minimum speed supported by disc, probably 8x or something like that) and then hit the big button at the bottom of the window
     

     
     
     
    later edit:  Also imgburn supports other formats besides mp3, as long as there's direct show codecs installed for that extension. The author of the software gives some links for some directShow codecs but keep in mind the post is from 2009 ... scroll to the bottom, last post :

    Google "large format printing" in your area. These guys use printer like this:

    If you see billboard ads or just simply a standing banner, there must be a place nearby that made it.
    Other printing service might offer a simpler single poster printing from A3 to A1 size.

    All I really would do is to repaste and dust out but you can still put some sort of leds in it or similar but it would not be fun to work with if you don't know how to solder because then you would have to go with a like USB RGB strip and somehow make that work. Most simple mod is replacing fan to a quieter one like noctua by like janking it there

    Kanna got a reaction from sub68 in [Rant] Why I don't like apple   
    Hey so I'm just going to drop here that I really dislike apple even tough I use an iPad daily. The reasoning behind this is the fact their devices in my opinion doesn't have much customization and that it's way overpriced for what it is you are just paying for the logo no fancy 120hz display here. My iPad from 2018 which is not full of apps is just running ass, whenever I open some app in the multitask thing either the app I open crashes or the whole iPad does and not to mention the fact loading apps takes long time but it's not all but I know discord and google chrome with a few tabs does, adding to this if you have youtube open, put iPad in sleep and start again youtube 90% of the times restarts meaning you have to find a video again (not big issue since history). As you notice I have a reason to not like apple but you may ask "why do you have a iPad then" I own one because I just need simple stuff on a tablet and android tablets are worse in this regard but you still expect this premium product to last a little longer for simple stuff as discord and chrome. There is more but this is my main issue with apple right now

    Good luck finding those kind of things. Youll definitely need a root and a game specific apps for it, ive tried most non root apps and most of them are just horrid. Whats wrong with emulation like Nox and Tencent Gaming Buddy?

    Kanna reacted to WaggishOhio383 in [Opinion] PC games should have disk copies   
    I've been a part of the PC gaming scene for around a year and a half now. I made the move from console because I wanted to be able to play games with my friend who was on PC, I was tired of our Xbox One constantly running out of storage space, and I didn't want to keep having to pay to play games online. While I have definitely enjoyed the various perks of PC gaming over the past year and a half, there's one nagging issue I keep coming back to: digital games. Digital games are something I always avoided when I was on console. This was largely because I mostly only got new games as gifts for my birthday or Christmas, so physical copies were the way to go. But now that I'm on PC, physical games aren't really an option. At first, I was okay with having to purchase games digitally. Most of the games I played were free anyway, so I wouldn't have had a physical copy even if I was on console. But over time as I started to purchase more games (primarily from Steam), I came to miss having a physical copy that I can go to the store and purchase, and then display on my shelf. There's just something about buying a game digitally and being able to instantly download and play it that while more convenient, just feels less satisfying. I feel like it makes me put less thought into the games that I'm buying, and I don't feel as much like I actually own the game. Rather, it feels like I just payed a bunch of money to be able to play the game. And it's exactly this that brings me to my next big issue with digital games: ownership.
     
    With a physical copy of a game, you never really have to worry about losing access to a game. As long as you have the disk, you'll always be able to play it regardless of what account you're on. But with platforms like Steam, all these games you purchase are attached to your one account. If you ever were to lose access to your account for any reason, all those games you've spent your own money on are just gone. When I buy a digital game, I don't feel the assurance that I'll always have the ability to continue playing this game. If anything were to happen to my account or even the platform I bought the game from, my access to the game would be gone forever unless I paid for it again. One could make the argument that the same thing can happen with a disk game if the disk were to get damaged or lost, but I feel like that's not the same thing. For starters, losing or damaging a disk is your own fault, and not at the mercy of some large company. If you treat your disks well and keep good track of them you can get them to last a long time (I have yet to have any of my PS2 disks give out on me). The other issue with buying a game digitally is the inability to transfer ownership of the game. You can't resell a digital game, so the used game market for PC games is practically nonexistent. Additionally, sharing games between family members is much more complicated. Platforms like Steam have library share, but even that has its limitations. For example, if you play even one game in your Steam library, every game in your library share is unavailable for your family to play, even if they want to play a different game than the one you're currently playing. And this, in my opinion, makes Steam's library share feature almost useless.
     
    The main limiting factor I can think of for using disk games on PC is that you have to have an account management system for online games. But there's a completely logical solution to this problem. Existing platforms like Steam or even the Microsoft store could open up the possibility to play disk games using your Steam or Microsoft account. The ownership of these games would be in no way linked to your account, rather whether the disk is inserted into your computer. But you could still utilize platforms like Steam to install, run, and manage the games as well as taking advantage of these platforms' existing social features.
     
    Obviously this is all just my opinion on the matter. I'm sure I'm in the minority when I say all this, and I get that for many people digital games are simply more convenient. But I feel like having disk copies of PC games as an option would be a very nice. That's not to say I think this will ever happen though. As much as I wish disks for PC games would make a comeback, there's just not enough of a demand for anything to actually change. However, I'd still like to see what other people may think or have to say about this issue. Maybe there's more of a desire for PC disk games than I thought, or maybe I'm just crazy wanting physical copies when I could just buy digitally. I'll be interested to see what others have to say about this issue!
