    A quadcopter is considered a drone when it is able to fly autonomously, like the DJI Phantom 2. You can set waypoints and have it fly by itself.

    dukethedj got a reaction from Shreyas1 in GTX 780 upgrade to GTX 1070 or 1080?   
    Both would be extremely OP for 1080p 60Hz. Even a 1050ti would be fine for it. I would go with a 1070 because it is cheaper and there would be no noticeable difference between a 1070 and 1080 at your resolution.

    Someone on YouTube comments said Minecraft ran on RAM and it had nothing to do with cpu and gpu performance. I did not get a screenshot sadly.

    Yesterday, he said his $300 laptop is faster than my $630 PC
     
    I said "Prove it"
     
    He started TF2 and he said he got 34 FPS with alll of the settings at minumum. 
     
    I got 200 FPS with all of the setting cranked.
     
    "Well the human eye can't see above 60 fps anyways."

    dukethedj got a reaction from Enderman in Terrible sound quality after doing a system restore   
    So I did a clean install and I got stereo to work properly but its my headphones that are just doing something. I guess my phone had a massive bass boost enabled. I don't know how they could do this, though. I kept the volume and bass at a reasonable level, but I guess things just happen. Thanks for the help.

    Are you using a .bat script? Valve has been slowly fazing out the gui.

    dukethedj reacted to vanished in Does the latest Linux kernel fully support TRIM   
    As far as I know it has supported it for quite some time, but it was disabled by default for quite a while because they found that the performance hit of constantly running it with every deletion was worse than just not using it.  I think since then they've found a solution and enabled it by default, but regardless it is definitely supported these days

    dukethedj got a reaction from vinnys in Framerate unexplicably went down significantly   
    How thorough should I be.? I see no dust on the PCB. But, I just remembered that I sprayed some Febreze in my room at around that time. While I sprayed it on the other side, it still could have gotten into the case. Could the moisture have done that?

    When I started experimenting on modifying and upgrading PCs when I was around 9ish? I had my first personal PC (a Pentium MMX Pionex tower) apart and wondered what would happen if I flipped the red volt switch on the power supply from 115V to 230V (because bigger must mean better right?). Plugged it in and POW!!! Sparks, flames and smoke came rolling out the back of the power supply. Oops

    I didnt know you could motion track in Vegas but it seems like you can. If it doesn' work you could get the trial version of AE and do it in there. (not the best way to do it though but its something if it wont work)
