Hey, need help, at wits end with this. There is a bit of a back story to this, I can elaborate if needs be. *Long story short, I pre-ordered a game from Microsoft Store, installed it and discovered it went onto my C:Drive (Samsung 970Pro 500GB), so I moved it to my E:Drive (new Crucial P2 M.2 1TB). Came to boot the game launch day and it wouldn't fire up without Administrative rights and disconnected from the internet. After struggling I uninstalled gaming services and MSStore, reinstalled them both and reinstalled the game onto the E:Drive (where I set new apps to go) yet the same issue came up. I played the game for a while and finally decided that I actually wanted to play it online and with the content I payed for so I had another go and finally I got to where I am now. I've been battling with this game, Microsoft and Windows since its release on 5th Nov and there's a lot more to it than explained above, about 4 days of struggling, I've been troubleshooting FH5 recently and finally figured out step 1 of my problem, so the heavy lifting is now complete. I had 2 copies for the same game in separate drives stopping the game from playing as they conflicted. I used the wsreset.exe to reset the store cache, deleted both copies of the game from both drives (C+E) and rebooted. Adjusted where new files get saved too (changed to E:Drive) had previously formatted my E:Drive in an earlier attempt) Came to reinstall the game and I keep getting 2 errors - 0x803FB107 and 0x80070070 - One of these is a Disk Space error, like the MSStore is trying to place something into the C:Drive which is the only drive in my system with less than 102GB in it despite me telling it to go to E:Drive. the other is a code that occurs because (I assume) of the disk space error. I can attach various screenshots of the issues I was having beforehand in case that helps. But yea. Please help me, I nearly punched my monitor last night as I'm that tired of tinkering with this stuff. (sidenote, just found out it's installed itself again, poorly onto my C:Drive, but it was told to go to the E:Drive) System Specs as follows Windows 10 Home 20H2 64x Intel Core I7 9700K MSI Z390 Carbon AC Corsair Vengeance 8x4(32GB) 3600MHZ MSI RTX3070 EVGA G3 800W Samsung M.2 970 Pro 500GB Crucial P2 M.2 1TB Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM

Samsung sued for claiming its phones work underwater Source: https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/money/2019/07/samsung-sued-for-claiming-its-phones-work-underwater.html?fbclid=IwAR3Q__NEPCI3EqC-apdOjr1BUkyS7MtGsCFPwMxkfa7WzK0xaTEj_AUbqew I would assume an IP68 rating to be suitable for any underwater situation. I've tried my Apple Watch in pools, salt water and the shower numerous times, and it works fine (AW 4 has IP68, so I think that's the same as the Galaxy 10 - someone may need to correct me). This seems to be about the testing, where they have advertised situations which have not been fully tested. I'm not so sure about an advantage, most waterproof phones coming out are IP68 as standard, as they should be. This rating is an important factor into buying a phone. As you would of course. The article doesn't specify which line of phones, but I would assume its the Galaxy S10 line. The Galaxy lineup itself is quite large, but the S10 is the most advertised. IMO surely the ads where they are using the phones under the water in numerous sitations are a test of themselves, albeit without any certified testing. Time will tell of the verdict of course.

Hey guys! What are your experience with big screen monitors for entertainment and gaming purposes? Wanting a big screen for movies and couch gaming for PC I came across the Dell c5517h (around 800€) for example. Marketed as a monitor for mostly conference-room settings it has pretty decent stats comparing it to normal TV´s (only the 1080 version the 4k monitors are way to expensive starting at 2700€) I'll attach the pdf with all the stats. What do you all think of such monitors, because it seems pretty reasonable to me to rather buy this than the waaay over priced gaming focused soulutions. DCF00FF2-5C7D-40F8-A9E4-D774E8315204.pdf

Hey Guys, i building my new setup inside of an Ammo Case (30cm x 17,5cm x 21cm) My "ingredients" are: Asus ROG Strix X470-i AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Zotac 1050ti OC mini (only temporarily will the new nvidia gen comes out and gets watercooled) 16GB DDR4 Hyper X 3000MHZ an Alphacool AIO 240mm Watercooling wich will be enlarged by an gpu in the future Samsung 960EVO 500GB m.2 ssd and an Seagate 2TB Firecuda 2,5" now to my question(s), i dont want(can) to cramp an Power supply inside the case. But i dont find a big external power supply solution like 500watts. My idea (if i dont find an external power supply) is to simply pin an ATX Power supply under the table lol. But how do i connect it to the case? I dont want to route the cable through the rear of the "case" to the power supply under the table. Is there a solution to make an "connector" at the rear where i can plug my cabels from the psu in?

OK so here's the Project summaries and some script idea's to go with it Project Camper: Intro: With summer on the way and plant life in bloom the wild gamer peeks out it it's cave and away from the monitor to gaze at the real world for a time before swiftly returning to it's den, suddenly yanked from it's home and comfort zone of triple monitor setup and beautiful 4K noob pwning to engage in.. SUMMER ACTIVITIES (DUN DUN DUUUUH) with the hot sun and the lack of WIFI your average gamer goes into one of 2 states, 1:a broad sense of adventure and euphoria or 2: a deep sense of dread and anxiety at missing their favorite content, WELL what if I told you you can have it all for a mere, uh eh ummmm OK not that cheap BUT still awesome this is PROJECT CAMPER. (cue intro and adverts.) (I wrote it as close to the typical LTT script as I could) Concept: take a cheap camper and turn it into a mobile high end battle-station with a full 3-4 monitor setup with all the whistles and bell's you can add. Part list: 1.Any tow along camper 2.Bad ass full tower gaming setup 3.as many monitors as you can handle 4.RGB OUT THE A** 5.awesome recliner/non rolling gaming chair 6.signal enhancer for long range internet 7. full sized desk Bonus if possible: deploy-able outdoor VR setup. Budget: cost will be somewhere around 15000$ if you want to buy all new part's but with the stock you got and resources I'd guess around 8000$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Project Kirby: Intro: we all remember the airflow test we did where we tested out which fan configuration would result in the least dust, but what if we made a computer with NO DUST!? well let's see if it's possible with PROJECT KIRBY, (cue intro and adverts) Concept: take a pc and place it into a near vacuum by forcing air out of it at a constant rate while water cooling it externally, will it run cooler or hotter? (probably hotter but what the hell) Part list: 1. custom hard line water loop 2. a case to be butchered in the process 3. large fan system for external water cooling (perhaps an air conditioner if you want to get crazy) 4. a lot of water sealing tape and epoxy 5. RGB!!! (cause why not) 6.Ear muff's since it's gonna be loud.... Budget: costs will somewhere around 2000$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: LTT If you guy's enjoy the concept please send me a direct message before creating either project, I would love to join you in the build and live within driving distance of the studio so if possible let me know if I can join in the project.

Ok I finally have the goal in my sights I got nearly 6000$ to build a monster battle-station with all the whistles and bells. it's just missing a good pair of 7.1 headphones for gaming and a solid High back chair for someone 6ft tall. any thoughts and suggestions?.

I don't really know where to post this on the Linus Forums but I was wondering if anyone know of a good gaming chair for a person who is 6'7" and 360 lbs that is around $400 usd or less.

Hey there, I am planning on getting these Headphones (Audio Technica "ATH-m30x or ATH-m50x) but, I am not sure there are going to fit my Big Head. I usually wear 2x-3x Football Helmet, depending how long my hair is. Most Likely a 2x at the moment. I wear Astro a40s TR Edition and these Headphones fit just fine. But are these headphones big enough for me? Are they Adjustable on the sides, if so how much? By the way ill be getting them from Amazon.com US.

They there LLT community! Here's the problem: I have a large head. Most over ear headphones and headsets clamp too hard and become uncomfortable after about 30-45 mins. The main thing I notice is that the metal/plastic mesh that protects the drivers (between my ear and the driver) ends up crushing the cartilage at the center of my ear. I believe that this is because the cushion around the ear compresses too much. and no i dont have Adam Driver ears Does anyone know of some affordable (around $100 US) and "good" sounding headphones or headsets that would resolve this issue? Another possible solution would be thicker ear cup pads, or an add-on ear pad. Much love, Evan

Hi guys, so I've been having a dilemma for a very long time now about purchasing a tablet. I direct and conduct an orchestra, and I currently use my Sony Xperia Z Tablet to conduct the orchestra (I used an iPad Air last year and sold it). I love the tablet in almost every way except when conducting I find that the 10 inch screen in landscape mode is simply too small for me to see the score and all the parts without having to look closer and even having to pinch zoom the tablet, so now I'm on the hunt for: - A very large screen tablet - Descent battery life - Responsive touch screen - Stylus would be nice - Good light package and stylish/minimalist-esque design (preferably, I mean you still gotta look good with it) - Be able to write music and be productive on the go, either via Stylus or be able to run Finale (which only windows can do) These were the tablets I was thinking of: Surface Pro 4 (i5, 4GB, 128GB), iPad Pro 12.9 inch (128GB), Samsung Galaxy TabPro S (Windows, base model), Huawei Matebook (base model) Now here's my experience: - I've bought the Surface Pro 4 to try it out and I returned it because I just wasn't completely satisfied with the battery life, plus it was a bit heavy and got hot and it had this identity issue thing as well where I felt it wanted to be treated like a laptop when i wanted it to be a tablet (i didn't get the type cover), don't get me wrong I really loved it for what it is just for the money it didn't make me feel satisfied and I feel I should give it another chance - I looked at the iPad Pro cause it's the biggest tablet in the (popular) market, and here in Canada it's $1250 for the 128GB one I want, but with the limited OS and not being able to use Finale, aside from the far better battery life it had me asking why should I pay surface/laptop level price for a slightly bigger screen and battery but can only run a limited OS, but that was my only gripe with it. Notes: - I have a 1st Gen MacBook Pro Retina that I bought years back, and because I dropped $2000 on it and it still works quite well, I refuse to get it replaced until it is literally on its last legs which actually doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon, so I'm NOT looking for a laptop replacement, only a big tablet that works in the most desperate of times during shows and stuff, and be able to use a stylus to make clear and accurate annotations on the PDF scores. As of now it looks like the iPad Pro is the best option, but I want to get your guys' opinion on this matter. Or should I wait for the next batch of big tablets to see? I'm racking my brain over this also, when these big tablets came out I would see so many comments and even reviewers saying why so big?? who is this for??? why would anyone buy these??? and dismissed the size of them as a negative trait, and I'm just sitting here going like....that'd be something that'd help me out A LOT......the ignorance was so real.....

I'll start by saying that I had a 3 paragraph topic all written down for my question.... but something went wrong and I could not submit it, so I'm sorry for this sounding brief. TV in question https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-UE49KS7500-Smart-Ultra-Curved/dp/B01FM722G0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466131946&sr=8-2&keywords=Samsung+49+HDR I'm going to be able to run games for the most part at 60hz 4k, so that Isn't an issue, what I really want is a large display with vibrant and bright colours, but I'm worried that using a TV will have side effects. This TV has really good timings when It comes to Input lag (20ms) , so the big elephant in the room when it comes to TV displays isn't really a factor with this TV. If anyone can suggest when owning a monitor over this would be beneficial, please let me know. If anyone can suggest tech / Tv's that I should wait for, I'd also really like to know.

Hey Guys, As the title suggests I thought I would start a little topic about the biggest fails, whether tech related or not, so I'll start with mine. I was building my first pc, which im still currently using, and whilst taking the cpu out of the packaging.... well I managed to drop it from about half a meter straight onto a solid wooden desk. As it hit the desk it bounced and flipped over and then the other side hit the desk too. Because I was new to pc building I was worried that I broke my cpu... somehow it took no damage... I think. Anyway, feel free to share your biggest fails, whether tech related or not.... and please keep this sensible.

Hey! So apparently my school wants students to have internet access on their phones and stuff. I'm kinda going in blind here, but I was told that if I connect the ethernet cable that will provide internet to anything will give me one IP only, and I about 800 users have to be able to connect to a network that will give them access to that same internet connection. The way I think is the ideal is to get a powerful smart switch, do DHCP server on it, and connect the internet cable god knows where comes from to it, then connect that switch to multiple access points. I still have to test the bandwidth on the APs so I can know how many I can put "in line", on one CAT6 cable only (sorry for my english), before it starts bottlenecking it. The area of it should be about half a soccer field. I think worst case scenario should be 1200~ users connected. It is not my problem if the bandwidth given by the ISP isn't enough, I just have to make things work flawlessly local network side and get it access to the internet. If the ISP bandwidth is greater than gigabit, and I think they have some sort of "ruler" that separates the initial fiber onto multiple copper gigabit, I could learn to do link aggregation and get through that easy. No one was able to tell me exactly how it works and I was given this task today. So powerful smart switch + APs a good idea? If so, need help on the switch, I was thinking of going with something from routerboard. Thanks in advance!

Do you guys know if the hyperx cloud 2 is small for big heads? or are people just trying to make cons for this product?

So I seen Spectre. And I absolutely fell in love with the opening song, by Sam Smith named " Writing's on the wall " During the movie it made sense and not to mention the 007 Daniel Craig has been playing as. It made perfect sense on how this opening song meant and how it contributed who 007 is a spy but also falls in love with certain women and actually wants a genuine relationship and not simple quick booty calls. Lets dissect the lyrics and how they contribute to the movie and who 007 is. I've been here before But always hit the floor - Basically him always doing the same thing in every movie. Loving women, having lots of sex, action, saving the day and world from crazy people. I've spent a lifetime running And I always get away - This shows how 007 is basically a spy. Always on the running from both danger and life in general. He's a spy a person who is get information and help save the day. But with you I'm feeling something That makes me want to stay - This shows how 007 even as a spy. Who genuinely wants to feel love. But can't because he's a spy and if he does fall in love which he does they are always used against him. Not to mention every girl he does genuinely loves dies. I'm prepared for this I never shoot to miss - Basically he's always used to death happening to the women he genuinely loves. Or due to the fact he has a license to kill meaning he never ever misses when bring down a crime syndicate or criminals. But I feel like a storm is coming If I'm gonna make it through the day Then there's no more use in running This is something I gotta face - Eventually he's got to take down the boss pretty much. Or the leader of organized crime. Meaning eventually he can't just simply keep stopping his or foiling his plans. He's got to kill and face up to the leader. If I risk it all Could you break my fall? - Meaning if he risks everything on the table. Can the women he eventually loves and cares for help put him at ease. How do I live? How do I breathe? When you're not here I'm suffocating I want to feel love, run through my blood Tell me is this where I give it all up? For you I have to risk it all Cause the writing's on the wall - Meaning what else can he do? What else can he do in his life besides kill? How does he go on living when he doesn't have anything to do or save? He feels like he's dying when he's not in love. Also talking about what can he do to give up his way of life of being a man licensed to kill A million shards of glass That haunt me from my past As the stars begin to gather And the light begins to fade When all hope begins to shatter Know that I won't be afraid - Speaks about how all the people he's killed or murdered or events still traumatize him. The light is speaking about basically hope. Showing that even in the most impossible situation he won't ever give up. If I risk it all Could you break my fall? - Same as above How do I live? How do I breathe? When you're not here I'm suffocating I want to feel love, run through my blood Tell me is this where I give it all up? For you I have to risk it all Cause the writing's on the wall The writing's on the wall How do I live? How do I breathe? When you're not here I'm suffocating I want to feel love, run through my blood Tell me is this where I give it all up? How do I live? How do I breathe? When you're not here I'm suffocating I want to feel love, run through my blood Tell me is this where I give it all up? For you I have to risk it all Cause the writing's on the wall Now people have been speaking that Radiohead's opening theme they made should've stayed. However in my personal opinion while it does related to the movie to some extent it doesn't show or represent who Bond is as a whole or during the movie and his life as an agent. I'm lost, I'm a ghost Dispossessed, taken host My hunger burns a bullet hole - speaking about how he as spy is meant to never be found out but he always is. And his love for action and killing is burning him on the inside, which is a bullet hole meaning he wants to kill ( But we never see that he enjoys killing persay) A spectre of my mortal soul These rumors and suspicion Anger is a poison - Speaking about he's a mere shell of who he used to be as a young boy. ( If you didn't know his parents died making him an orphan, meaning he lost his young self and how he was made into a spy. Because Orphans make the best spies if you didn't know ) The rumors and suspicion part speaking about him during the movie and how everyone thinks he's going out of control. Which makes him angry because he's truly doing something to help. The only truth that I could see Is when you put your lips to me - Showing how when he kisses a women he sees love eventually with some women. Futures tricked by the past Spectre, how he laughs - This represents on how his futures were essentially setup due to the past. Leading up to this movie and Spectre who you learn is basically

So, I ran WinDirStat and ended up with a 4.1 gig unknown file. Does anyone have a clue as to what that might be? I don't think it's a hibernation or pagefile because those are listed separately. Screenshot (let's hope this works) Edit: fixed the screenshot
