Re: General discussion chat The Latitude family: (imported from here) (imported from here) Left is an incomplete E6500 that is mostly built from old parts from my main laptop. The left speaker grill paint was peeling off and it looked terrible so I peeled the rest of it off. The paint on the right grill was a lot harder to get off so I ended up using paint remover and I think it looks pretty good now. (On the left one you can see areas that are brighter. Those are where the areas that had no paint for a long time. No idea why it's brighter than the rest of the metal.) I plan on completing the E6500 then probably selling it or something unless someone can give me an idea of what to do with it. Middle is my baby. (Which is now a Precision M4400 since I upgraded the motherboard to an M4400 board. I upgraded or replaced a lot of parts recently.) Right is my netbook, a D430. Performance is not great, but a lot better than my old netbook and it has good battery life. I also have a couple older Latitudes underneath my desk. A broken D500, a fully working D505, broken C400, etc.
Re: General discussion chat How do you know you played too much beamng? >playing GTA >crash car >press ctrl+r
Re: General discussion chat God dammit. I hate modding GTA. It's so frustrating. One minute it's working fine, as soon as I install a car mod it crashes while loading. And for some reason OpenIV stops working when I want to open vehicles.img
Re: General discussion chat i was playing gta V on my xb360 when all the sudden i crash my car,i then pressed cntrl+r on my keyboard,nothing happend,and then was like "i must be playing too much beamNG"
Re: General discussion chat *plays on xbox* *presses ctrl r on a non-existent keyboard* yep, you definitely play way to much beamng if you managed to do a pc key combo on a console controller
Re: General discussion chat Im kinda glad that i have a device with such an obscure chip because in my opinion that's kinda cool. But on the other hand i just wish there was a single application out there that i could install, but im just stuck with the base apps. But the things it does it does really quite well even by today's standards. For instance the Touch screen is easier to use and more accurate than a ds lite. It feels pretty snappy too, there are no slowdowns or anything like that since it is running an old os and since there are no animations things happen as soon as you press the button. Although Microsoft word can get a little slow if you start using it as a doodling tool EDIT: Holy cow, i just found out that i can put Mame on there... Time for some fun
Re: General discussion chat Same. There are always devices that get close to what i want but never any that have exactly what i want. I think a tegra k1 phone with a 1080p screen that is <5 inches would be awesome. I don't want 1440p since most video content is in 1080p and i would prefer to have my games run better than have a marginal improvement on screen resolution considering the 5 inch form factor of these devices. Front facing speakers is a bonus. I would want it to run cyanogen mod. The one plus one had so much potential. When it was first "launched" it was super awesome and i probably would have tried to get one, even if the screen is too big its the closest thing there is to what i want. But the phone still hasnt been properly released and we are getting pretty close to new chips that will have a gpu upgrade (compared to snapdragon800 vs 801). So its no longer really something that i want anymore. Personally while i feel that there are many truly excellent devices on the market there is not a single one where every single aspect of the phone is better than my current one. So there will always be at least one part of each device that feels like a drawback. I don't have much hope for project ara either. Smartphone makers are struggling to fit everything inside a normal phone as it is, once you have introduce the system where you can swap out the parts you introduce so much wasted space. For example the battery will need a proper housing meaning you end up with two walls between the battery and screen where traditionally there would be none. So i don't expect them to be high end devices, i think they will be smooth to use and just fine for most people but i want to have as much power as i can get. I think my galaxy s2 has shown me that if you choose the correct smartphone then it can last you along time and still keep up with other devices, so i want to ensure i that when i get my next phone it will last me another 3 or so years.

Re: General discussion chat There is one feature I'd like to see again that I had on my first phone nearly a decade ago. As with modern phones it had an internal antenna rather than a stubby thing sticking out of the top as normal and that worked fine (from memory it wasnt any better or worse than the antennas in a current phone which is understandable as cheap on PCB antennas haven't really advanced much in decades, I think any gains in signal from my phone today compared to back then probably come from genuinely better coverage). But one thing it had that a modern phone doesn't and I don't think many had back then either, an SMA connector. You could connect an external antenna to it, I did actually have an external GSM antenna for it but didn't use it very often as it was about half a foot long but it really did make a massive difference to reception and call quality. It was one of those things where if you wanted to use the phone normally, you could, it was no different to todays phones, but if you did have need of a boosted signal you could plug in the external antenna and you were sorted. Having been on the coast of norfolk all last week with piss poor signal I missed that thing. If I was to list out the device I want (I do have a good picture of it mentally) I'd be here all day though.
Re: General discussion chat That sound pretty awesome. Sounds similar to the Asian phones that have the pop out antenna. Soo, screw what i said earlier about there being no software for this pocket pc. I have got MameCE fully up and running on the device. Out of all of the things that could work, this is probably the best because it enables me to have hundreds of games on it now Links for anyone who cares: http://mamece3.mameworld.info/ http://mame.oldos.net/
Re: General discussion chat So I got a CPU-cooler for my b-day, a Corsair H60. I installed it earlier today, and the first thing I noticed is that the pump makes a whole lot of noise. It almost sounds like a fan with bad bearings, a whining kind of noise. I've looked all over the internet and it seems like there is a lot of people that are having the same problem as me. Does it need to run for 24-48 hours before it "settles" in? The only fix to this issue right now is to lower the speed of the pump in SpeedFan to around 50%. Otherwise the cooler works with no problems.
Re: General discussion chat I'd say let it run for a day or two and see if it still is doing it. I don't know much about AIO coolers, but the whine might go away.
Re: General discussion chat WHAT? omg don't do that, the pump must be running at 100% always. They even recommend connecting the pump to a fan connector with no speed regulator to ensure it's always running at full capacity.
Re: General discussion chat I've seen multiple people on forums using their coolers at less than 100%, and it didn't do any harm whatsoever to the cooler. Besides, I can't sit in my room with it on 100%, it's like having an aeroplane in my case.
Re: General discussion chat That's what corsair advised when I got my H50, to never throttle the pump. Anyway it should be completely silent, so yours has some kind of problem.
