Either that or Win95 😉

Or Vista

@untold matrix No, not really. EG the just-a-few-days-ago-released ryzen 3 2200G costs about the same +/- 5€. And the predecessor (ryzen 3 1200) is 10 € cheaper
untold matrix
@flat grove But then I need to buy new MB and RAM
flat grove
do you have ddr3 ram?
untold matrix
Yes
flat grove
well, that's a problem. the fx-8350 is a better, but it's also already over 6 years old.
I would suggest you to save a little bit of money and go for a ryzen build which would cost you around 200€, for a build with 8gb ddr4 ram
But if there really is no other way, then you should go for the fx-8350

Hey guys
Pls help me
My father's Ethernet is not working properly
The green led is not neither on not flashing
That means there is no actual connection
The orange led is flashing 👌 look at photo and videos
When I connect the cable to my laptop it is working
My laptop identifies the network name
But on my father's PC there is no specific name
Just 'Network 2'
So the cable is fine
We are supposed to get 200 Mbit/s
I get them through Ethernet on my laptop and through WiFi on my phone
Here some pics and a video
Pls tag for answers
Thank you ❤ 😝

im getting full speed on my devices
its a problem with his hardware
look what i said

Oh
tame violet
Listen
i have ethernet on my notebook/laptop full speed
it isnt the router or smth like that

It's hardware of my father's PC
he has a FE Ethernet card
fast ethernet
only up to 100 Mbit/s
grizzled crow
Fast enough
tame violet
I have on phone, on PC and on laptop GBE ethernet
no
we get 200 Mbit/s
but his PC only supports 100
that's not the point
the point is
he'S not connected properly
and gets like only 60 Mbit/s
the green led is not on
thats the point

That's your problem
FE is bottle necked to 100
Which is why he's not getting anything higher
You need a gigabit one and it'll be fine
@tame violet
In computer networking, Fast Ethernet is a collective term for a number of Ethernet standards that carry traffic at the nominal rate of 100 Mbit/s (the earlier Ethernet speed was 10 Mbit/s).
First time I've heard of fe

So get a GBE card

Anyone use Simhub for ETS2?
frozen meadow
Never heard of it
ok now i have
Seems more updated and newer than that telemetry thing
well i saw a dashboard for like ETCARS which is a better version of telemetry.
But it's also outdated and lags a lot due to updates and the dashboard was only for fun and testing
ETS2 is heavily outdated (2-3 years outdated) and is not very good for performance when i was using it. SimHub will be a better option as it would be up to date
I'll go and test it
But for some reason the Visual C++ installer is french... https://i.imgur.com/q2JCRvW.png

it's rubbish for ets2 ew
plus limited to 10fps unless you donate. Bit rubbish tbh
I'd rather use ets2 telemetry that's outdated and needs re-doing than that tbh
not rly donating, more like premium

The program was made by a Frenchman, so makes sense
yeah, still a good little program for minimal effort

Yeah, i mean i made a dashboard, it's alright but very... laggy
Even when my iPad is tethered to my pc. But it is exceptional tbh
The red line for fuel disappears when it's above that, it's kinda the underneath of the actual gauge. Rest of it i made from the Audio Concept dashboard and completely converted it for ETS2 https://i.imgur.com/b5EFNaV.png
You can easily change the values and calculations and the red line bits. Just gonna change a few numbers but that's how mine is currently

Not impressed by these speeds... http://www.speedtest.net/result/7369546414.png
Should be get at least 70mbps down and at least 16mbps up
hexed aurora
Usually speeds are given in "up to"
not "at least"
and when you do such test, you should be wired directly to the modem, and be the only user, to have accurate measurements
on top of that, unless they specify speedtest.net as the prefered testing service, it might not be ideal peering for the test
frozen meadow
they said i should get at least 70mbps and up to 78mbps
i don't even get their 56mbps minimum guarantee...
hexed aurora
are you using their recommended speed testing service=
cause speedtest.net might rely on good peering between sky and what ever server you test against
frozen meadow
theirs say 60mbps everytime
not a single change in speed ever
always 60mbps
which isn't right at all
i tried other things too and still below 60
i haven't had 60mbps in over a year
hexed aurora
I think you're missing some fineprint there, cause nobody can promise that...

most of the time their fineprint is nothing but hidden charges lols

sinful monolith
my old ISP in Finland just gave us "max speed" connection
that was the definition
hexed aurora
sinful monolith
as much as the wire allows
hexed aurora
Max speed gives you a clue of what to expect though
sinful monolith
granted, ADSL doesn't allow much
hexed aurora
My current provider gives max speed
that said, they have pretty decent peering, so that max speed caries me quite far
sinful monolith
my mobile provider gave a range: 5Mbps minimum, 350Mbps maximum
hexed aurora
I believe there's a minimum, but I reliably get the max, so haven't bothered looking into minimums
sinful monolith
my current one is just "up to 300Mbps down 50Mbps up" I think
sinful monolith
and yeah, saying "you're always guaranteed at least this" is not viable, but "you're guaranteed this 99.999% of the time" is
I should check my current contract to see if there's a minimum defined...
hexed aurora
My provider actually has an "always online" guarantee
sinful monolith
backup lines are good
hexed aurora
If I loose connectivity, or drops below minimums, I can get a refund for using 4G instead
sinful monolith
my old ISP in Finland was smart and had a secondary backup line for international connections (via Sweden)
hexed aurora
I have also used that guarantee once
frozen meadow
well my 4g is faster than my ethernet (cat7), ;-;
sinful monolith
they weren't smart enough to place it at a different location though
hexed aurora
Well, my ISP is owned by Telenor, with interconnects on all IX-es in Norway
sinful monolith
A digger accidentally broke both at the same time and disconnected teh entire ISP from other countries

in-house equipment that is

apparently the Broadcom chipset/driver has a bug with that

So if your answer is yes, the signal to noise ration is kind of worse for upstream boundwith
Or
So better
frozen meadow
We have the broadband going through a telephone line which then goes through a microfilter...
And it's Fibre Max/Pro from Sky
sand valley
The data is split into different streams which they are encoded on different frequencies. We can say that might help us because, some of the channels have mnoise for a special frequency acquired to them, and modems can be assholes and not use that particular frequency channel
frozen meadow

basically this is what we have
it still uses the standard ADSL
We're thinking of going to Virgin Media as it is faster and cheaper for what we would get from them

I am not from UK but i recommend changing from what i saw

i'd rather move to one that doesn't rip me off and give us utter crap
sand valley
ive been 2 times in UK and I had skynet on the campus
and it was horror
it was also the first time and the last one when i bought those usb dongles in which u cna insert a sim card
frozen meadow
rip
wary warren
just plug it back in m8
grizzled crow
Naa
I have shorter leads but one lead doesn't reach fully so one mic has one aerial short
wary warren
lol
sand valley
60 points on the arrangement
grizzled crow
they were all for the mic aerial things
i have a bar at the front with them all on
but then i found the old short leaders and they all fitted apart from one
wary warren
just use duck tape
grizzled crow
na i took them all out

MS, ur dead for this https://i.imgur.com/wauz1NP.png
i disabled it in everything i can (sadly i have no group policy editor as i have Home edition)
sand valley
Its not a new fact that most of the MS services take a lot of resources from ur pc
hexed aurora
Except when they don't
also never seen that service before
doesn't run on my computer o.O
ashen girder
My question is why is it using so much disk 
hexed aurora
My question is if that even is a MS service
ashen girder
#Hacked
hexed aurora
I can't find any service called that on my Windows 10 Home machine
frozen meadow
it has a different name on services
wide temple
are you on the Insider build?
frozen meadow
it did it when i wasnt on insider too
hexed aurora
You have been or are on Insider, that might explain it
or at least why I don't haveit
cause this machine has never been insider
wide temple
your feedback settings are probably set to "Full"
hence why it's sending a lot of diagnostic data
frozen meadow
i did many tweaks to get it off of Full and use basic no matter what lols
still, no off thing which is still stupid
wide temple
hexed aurora
Not present on my system
wide temple
hmm
hexed aurora
Without spyware
frozen meadow
Tuxy, u lucky thing
also if u have it
disable it and stop it
you can have ur privacy back :3
wide temple
If you want to see what data is being sent
you can do so with the Diagnostic Data Viewer in build 1806
wide temple
I'm guessing it's more than likely that it's set to send as much diagnostic data as possible if you're on the Insider build
otherwise it's sort of pointless running a test build if they can't get proper feedback
frozen meadow
na, i just did registry stuff to set it to basic
forgot what tho lmao
I feel like i should do a clean Win10 install to fix 10,000 problems i have but i dont wanna put all my apps back on and stuff
hexed aurora
frozen meadow
and it might not even fix some of the stuff
frozen meadow
i had to run insider to fix an issue where it failed with all updates and windows security didn't work properly
wide temple
that's not exactly the best way to "fix" an issue
frozen meadow
i'm just waiting for next update so it can move me off the insider build
wide temple
you can "reset" windows, or go as far as reinstalling it if you have the time for it
wide temple
then reformatting would have been the better option
wide temple
besides, I'm a firm believer in reformatting whenever there's a major build to avoid as few bugs as possible
frozen meadow
oof
hexed aurora
A previous build worked though, since you had W10 before?
frozen meadow
One thing i hate about Insider, the Green Screen of Death instead of Blue Screen of Death
Yep
hexed aurora
sooo, the right response is to roll back not forward
frozen meadow
All of a sudden 1803 just refused and everything stopped working on 1709
I was on 1709 since it came out
And it failed to update to 1803, even clean installing failed
hexed aurora
shakes his head "kids these days"
frozen meadow
i couldn't roll back
wide temple
that's assuming he still had the option to rollback
wide temple
iirc windows only gives you 30 days to rollback to a previous build
frozen meadow
30 days for old OS to Win10, 10 days for old build
wide temple
ah
frozen meadow
unless recovery mode
hexed aurora
You can get older install media
frozen meadow
which also failed smh
i tried almost everything and it either died, didn't work, or shoved an error in my face
hexed aurora
an older build wouldn't just magically stop working, something you did prior probably caused it to stop working, so the way to do it is to roll back everything
frozen meadow
but just waiting for next update to kick me off insider
you don't know my pc Tuxy
it does anything strange
😂
like a 3.5GHz CPU going at 5GHz
can't overclock the cpu that's the best part
hexed aurora
aka. asking for trouble, and refusing to relent when it's unstable?
wide temple
sounds like your installation of windows is borked
hexed aurora
Sound like he is borked
wide temple
just reformat to a clean install of 1806 lol
frozen meadow
1709 build messed it up, 1803 fixed it all
and then your normal bugs like Cortana being Search for some reason and then Cortana comes back
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wide temple
as Tuxy said, you probably had prior issues
frozen meadow
probs
but worst part about using an insider build. the broken file explorer https://i.imgur.com/my6LQ0v.png
wide temple
don't be surprised if things break even more, Insider builds can be horribly unstable
frozen meadow
it's messed up on both dark and light lmao
wide temple
as they say, never run test builds on your primary device, you never know when it'll stop working
frozen meadow
Yes MS are making Windows dark theme a full thing
it's stopped working so many times i'm not even bothered anymore
wide temple
It's why Apple recently pulled the first beta of watchOS 5 because it was bricking devices
frozen meadow
ha
that's not surprising tbh
i have ios 12 on one of my iDevices and it works very well tbh
sand valley
its painted over it?
mental stirrup
And yes, the warranty is still valid, I took off the sticker and put it back 😛
@sand valley 😐
RGB LED's are in SMD form however with 3+ contacts
So only 1 colour would work
sand valley
a
mental stirrup
There is only 2 contacts on the PCB
sand valley
that makes sense
sand valley
the rgb has 4 leads
mental stirrup
Yes, but I was using SMD
Surface-Mount Device which are more different to normal LED's
I was using 0603 SMD LED's
Find it on the graph here
mental stirrup
No, because its not a 0603 and because it has 2 more connections
sand valley
i understand
mental stirrup
Thats probs a quite a large SMD LED anyways
sand valley
i only use smd for led strips
mental stirrup
Indeed, thats why LED strips have 4 connections
I'm a bit of a modding freak
¯_(ツ)_/¯
The xbox 360 controller is modded with blue and red LED's and its my sisters

My iPhone 4 battery drained from 37% to 0% when it was off, the screen was flickering before. It's dead. My ANdroid died just a day ago now this dies

it was 67% this morning...
the Battery Life
and it's getting warm at the right side of the phone
wary warren
cause apple scamed on batteries
solemn ferry
thats apple for ya
frozen meadow
Battery has shorted (got very hot too), logic board has shorted and corrupted too (recovery mode appeared and refused to flash or do anything, restore failed too). Rip iPhone 4 2011-2018
and screen flickered like hell before
spiral yew
You should get rid of crapple and get a S7
wary warren

I think I tried upgrading to win 10 to many times 😂

i have a $50 wheel and pedals from Amazon
it's Subsonic but only has 90 degree turning
it works well but kinda crappy
hushed hemlock
mhm.
frozen meadow
900 m8

oh fk off
frozen meadow
Logitech G29 + Shifter
frozen meadow
isn't 900 degrees the max for ets2 and most wheels?
frozen meadow
err
spiral yew
well there might be a couple of wheels that offer more than 900 degrees but direct drive have unlimited steering degrees
frozen meadow
direct drives are good but not as strong tbh
spiral yew
direct drive wheels are more realistic
spiral yew
there are no belts or anything like that
frozen meadow
I have 2 Windows x64 ISOs. And then 6 Windows x86 ISOs
It should be other way round 
Also we cancelled Sky (30 day notice bs) and we're going to Virgin Media, we'll be paying much less (even after 12 month) and getting much more!
:3
spiral yew
same thing happened when i switched from century link to spectrum
well i'm paying like $10 more but i'm getting a lot more speed than i was
frozen meadow
I found this epic tool that downloads ISOs of everyting (legally too)
the better, the better
i couldn't think of something else
im tired
😂
oof, finally sorted out all my ISOs out, oh crap still got another 20 to sort
fml
don't just name folders things like "random" and shove everything in it
It's a pain in the ass to find things and sort them
spiral yew
lol i've done that with mods for games
frozen meadow
the worst thing to see
is things named same thing but have things like (1) at the end
but they're different versions of it
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
spiral yew
what's even worse is when you put mods in a folder for different versions of the game
spiral yew
like i have one folder for farm sim that has fs13, fs15, and fs17 mods
frozen meadow
O_O
spiral yew
so yea gg to me for putting 3 version of mods in one folder
and some of em have been extracted and modified
frozen meadow
i realised that Win10 is a performance killer for my Netbook so im putting Win8.1 on it as it's better for low-end PCs.
lool
that's worse
spiral yew
trying to install win 10 on secondary pc for the 3rd time 😂
1st time the installation got stuck at 75%
2nd time the installation got stuck at 31%
and 3rd time is stuck on the getting ready screen
frozen meadow
thank god you didn't hear me a minute ago
plugged something in socket
it sparked cos i put it in too slow
got electric shock
never swore so much in my life and i got a numb arm/hand again LOL
flipping hurt like hell
spiral yew
i'd say the cord has a wiring issue if you got electricuted
frozen meadow
you know the metal pins on plugs
i put it in too slow
and i had my hand next to the pins and sparked
and hell broke loose in my arm
Here's a tip, don't plug something in while the socket is switched on...
and dont do it slowly
😐
how tf am i not dead yet
spiral yew
well you obviously have never been dumb enough to attach a metal plies to a electric fence used for cows
frozen meadow
😂
spiral yew
i tried grabbing em while they were still attached to the electric fence
spiral yew
boy was that a interesting ride
frozen meadow
lols
spiral yew
i think it's the voltage that kills not the amps
frozen meadow
you can have 10,000 volts go through you if the current is very low
Current is the charge flow, voltage (potential difference) pushes it
in simple terms
you can have 1v and 3A and you get shocked
you can have 3v and 1A and it wont be as bad
spiral yew
now when i get a shock i'd be like oooo that tickeled
frozen meadow
lol
spiral yew
woooo 3rd time installing win 10 worked
frozen meadow
oof
spiral yew
gonna use the secondary pc for a dual stream setup
frozen meadow
spiral yew
well with a 4 screen setup and 3 of the 4 monitors having 2 display hookups and the 4th having 3 display hookups i'm ready
frozen meadow
lols
Ugh, can't believe i have to run windows on an SDHC card to use my netbook for school cos hard drive failed
spiral yew
should've bought a external hard drive and put it on there
frozen meadow
the thing is
i can't bring an external hard drive on the move while it's on
Plus i have other stuff on the external HDD
and i got no money for another one
😐
spiral yew
ya know you can make partitions on external hard drives
spiral yew
not sure how that SD card hasn't blow up yet
frozen meadow
the performance is running better on the SD card than the old HDD before it died
I used it as last minute
doesn't even get hot
spiral yew
cause i'm pretty sure the SD card wasn't designed to be used as a replacement for a hard drive
frozen meadow
im pretty sure of that too
spiral yew
i'm surprised the SD card even let you install windows on it
frozen meadow
WinToUSB ftw
spiral yew
o lol
frozen meadow
hmm, the SD Card is getting hot and is being slow when i'm installing it, i'm using a MicroSD To USB adapter which is different to the others i used before
hm
got the adapter i used before
going fast now lols
spiral yew
ahhhh this is bs the new media creation files won't let you skip the create pin feature

Got a new drive, now don't kill this one!
frozen meadow
My laptop and 20 partitions in total and they were mainly OEM rubbish and MSR. I wiped the drive clean and re-installed windows 8.1 back on. Never have i seen this laptop go so fast
obtuse ivy
When your drive bottlenecks you, you know you're in trouble
frozen meadow
Ha, hard drive failure is worst
obtuse ivy
try corrupted RAM
frozen meadow
I already did
obtuse ivy
Dead registry?
frozen meadow
Infact i still have it somewhere
Had that on an old pc once
Ever had parity circuit failure.
Flipping annoying
obtuse ivy
Yep
frozen meadow
Ever had a disc drive that literally chewed up discs?
obtuse ivy
Did they spit it out 😂
frozen meadow
Did you also have a PSU that blew up? Ever had a cpu fan screech and rumble really loud that is was deafening?
😂
It literally was a disc, but not a single place had no scratches
Ever had a WiFi and Bluetooth chip malfunction too?
Or a motherboard it self go faulty
obtuse ivy
Had a not so violent PSU destruction and a case fan that had its blades flown off
frozen meadow
Tbh this is just beginning of the problems i’ve had with PCs
Rip
The psu sparked and cut off
Idk why tho
obtuse ivy
I helped a guy at a computer shop for awhile and man I heard it all
frozen meadow
Lol
Ever seen a cpu split in half?
And the heatsink split in half with it?
That was the aftermath of my dad’s old pc when it stopped working and he got a sledgehammer and smashed the life out of it
obtuse ivy
😂
frozen meadow
Somehow the hard drive and disc drive works brilliantly
And the ram
Must have been tough to survive that without damage tbh
obtuse ivy
Had a guy come in once a said he got a virus on his PC, ended up being a stickup and the computer was stolen...
frozen meadow
Whoa

I quit 2 months after

frozen meadow
Did it involve a gun?
obtuse ivy
A knife
frozen meadow
Oof
obtuse ivy
Yeah the guy had a CCP and kinda scared the guy to running
frozen meadow
:/
I’d kick the guys arse, knife or no knife. Get them in the jewels and beat them to the ground till cops get there

Had this teen come up to me and try and do some... stuff, and i kicked him right in the golden zone and he was literally dead lol

One eternity later...
Wait wget is on windows? I thought it was a linux thing
Meh
dusty timber
:slowpoke:
wide temple
no, wget is included part of WSUS offline updater
though I think it may be included in PS now
hexed aurora
Wget isn't included, in ps, if the command exists, is an alias for get-remotecontent or whatever it is called
verbal grove
wget is in ps included

It was an alias earlier, now it is a proper command
