#

In my experience, rooting has always impacted the phone in a negative way

latent aurora
#

its because the warranty void, if you root the phone

frozen meadow
#

a lot of apps have root detection and some times block ur phone

cerulean moat
#

I can agree with that, did have a rooted s4 mini

#

Can get a root cloak for some roots

latent aurora
#

if you know, what to do, then do it - but in Austria you will loose the Guarantee

upper dove
#

I only have proper experience with iphone jailbreaking but from that it just ended up breaking the devices

cerulean moat
#

Its second hand so I dont have any warranty

#

Really stuck since I want to do it for some custom features but wondering what someone else thought

main pagoda
#

Jailbreaking breaking devices?

#

Umh wat

dusty timber
#

Root on Android is OK @cerulean moat, Magisk is on your side.

cerulean moat
#

well was gonna use the custom ROM lineage since it comes pre rooted

dusty timber
#

I don't think this is a good idea since lineage is not always stable

mild mesa
cerulean moat
#

ah well either way was going to end up with lineage and its the most stable one out there

pure rain
#

Does anybody here use a G29?

#

I am thinking of getting one.

#

Is this the right one I should be getting?

noble ferry
#

yeah use system less root

frozen meadow
#

Ye g29 is perfect

#

Make sure you get shifter with it tho

^I don't think that it is an official SCS Poll

deep oriole
#

nah they would do a poll on their forums if anything

#

or at least announce it

noble ferry
#

he didn't state it was tho

untold matrix
#

Long lights?

cosmic pawn
#

high beam I guess xD

untold matrix
#

Nah. I think he means light poles on the side of the road. They are pretty long

frozen meadow
#

if you do r_diffuse 0 i think it turns off all lighting

#

idk if that's the name but i tried it before and it was like a power cut to all lights, including trucks and ai

frozen meadow

#

I had a SATA cable fail on me once, my PC started acting funny so I restarted it, only to find no boot devices... never had that happen before

frozen meadow
grizzled juniper
#

frozen meadow
grizzled crow
#

no

grizzled juniper
#

try find NVIDIA

frozen meadow
#

im thinking about the Pro fan and not GT

#

but i dont know about the extra quid

grizzled crow
#

well

frozen meadow
#

seems no difference except size

grizzled crow
#

anything with startech on it is good

#

the cpu cooler will be crap

frozen meadow
#

I just got one for another pc today and it's epic

#

but i dont know about the Pro one cos the GT looks almost same

#

it's 98p more

#

🤔

grizzled crow
#

why not get the hyper 12

frozen meadow
#

err

#

can't afford

#

:/

grizzled crow
#

sell your pc then

frozen meadow
#

i wouldn't get a penny for it

#

smh

grizzled crow
#

lol rip

frozen meadow
#

there goes my bank account LOL

spiral yew
#

breadstick do you have thermal paste incase the arctic cooler doesn't come with any?

frozen meadow
#

It does come with it, i got the cheap model and it still came pre-applied, if not then i have some “diamond thermal paste” laying around that i used before. :3

frozen meadow
#

the fans are near enough silent and dont go like 6000rpm like the stock ones did and it max temp was 60c when before it was 80c

#

massive improvement 👌

spiral yew
#

My cpu temp never goes above 130F what ever that is in C

frozen meadow
#

54C

#

why use Fahrenheit when it's messed up and confusing (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

noble ferry
#

yeah

latent aurora
#

i5-6600K @4500MHz -> idle: 35°C 75% cpu-power: ~60°C, 100% cpu-power: 75°C

grizzled crow
#

ok

frozen meadow
#

my pc is getting hot cos my room is hot smh

#

cooling isn't helping as much as it should :/

noble ferry
#

get a fan noobs

grizzled crow
#

he's poor

#

Good idea, but it is necessary to improve the image quality.

#

In addition to the camera, the ear loudspeaker and finger reader are also located at the bottom of the screen. That prevents efficient operation. @dusty timber

frozen meadow
#

But it worked literally perfect for the ear speaker, no audio leaks out like normal speakers for phones do. Plus finger reader at bottom works alright, cos people work small fingers can reach it normally unlike ones near top at back, and it's easier to use. And now discrete ;)

grizzled crow

Hot 👌

hexed aurora
#

WLE, wow haven't seen that in a few years

#

I remember being in the beta

frozen meadow
#

last i used live essentials was back when i had Windows 7, very long time ago lols

noble ferry
#

dual booted ubuntu :D

frozen meadow
#

Gg

noble ferry
#

but it kinda failed since i force shutdown my computer during the partition makings

frozen meadow
#

I tried to get lineage os on my LG K8 2017

noble ferry
#

so i need to delete that partition probably

frozen meadow
#

Rip

noble ferry
#

im gonna try to make my own android 8 go rom for my phone

frozen meadow
#

Oof

#

Android go lols

noble ferry
#

it should work perfect

#

i only have 900mb ram xd

frozen meadow
#

1.3 GB ram here

noble ferry
#

android go is pretty good

frozen meadow
#

My phone doesn't have a bootloader

noble ferry
#

how do you even take screenshots in ubuntu xd

frozen meadow
#

So I'm screwed

noble ferry
#

whats a bootloader lol

frozen meadow
#

I can't unlock bootloader or even get recovery mode

noble ferry
#

oooh

frozen meadow
#

I can only make it show IMEI Barcode or activate Safe Mode

noble ferry
#

i have this stupid frp lock that bricks my phone when i login with a google account and flash a custom recovery/ os

frozen meadow
#

So I can't flash the device without unlocking bootloader

#

But i cant unlock a non-existent bootloader

noble ferry
#

hmm

frozen meadow
#

Do rip lineage os for my phone

#

So*

noble ferry
#

so you cant flash anything custom?

frozen meadow
#

Nope

#

Lg is shit for that tbh

#

So im stuck with their ugly, slow and bloated OS

#

And the phone apps and stuff are crap

noble ferry
#

oh yeah

frozen meadow
#

Phone app is just a shortcut to Contacts so idfk

noble ferry
#

what phone did you have?

frozen meadow
#

I used to have an Alcatel A3 but i now have an LG K8 2017

noble ferry
#

tried xda?

frozen meadow
#

LG K8 can have lineage and there is one for it on xda, but i can't get to the bootloader even with adb

#

As soon as i do the command to reboot to bootloader it goes to a normal boot

#

Recovery is same situation

noble ferry
#

hmm

#

maybe its the frp lock

frozen meadow
#

Frp lock?

noble ferry
#

factory reset protection

frozen meadow
#

I also set it to allow OEM unlocking

noble ferry
#

logged out with google account too?

frozen meadow
#

Yep

#

Tried everything

noble ferry
#

i hate these bloated stock firmwares

frozen meadow
#

Ikr

😮

frozen meadow
#

so i got AMD OS X on my Laptop

#

but graphics is just, not working like it should

#

-_-

dusky apex
#

Why are you trying to instal Hackintosh?

frozen meadow
#

i need to learn how to use a mac

#

so yeah

#

i mean everything works

dusky apex
#

It would not be the same as an authentic Mac because you'll get locked out of most feature from what I remember when I tried it a long time ago 😛

frozen meadow
#

except graphics, only thing that is not working 100%

#

oh it thinks i am using a Mac Pro Mid 2010

#

so a lot of features are there

#

just graphics are making some features useless

dusky apex
#

So you're having a real mac or installing it on a PC?

frozen meadow
#

installing on a pc

dusky apex
#

Mac only support specific CPU and GPU I think

frozen meadow
#

Thats what AMD OS X is for 😉

#

AMD CPU support for mac

#

got the kernals and stuff for it

dusky apex
#

Good luck 😛

frozen meadow
#

im gonna need that luck lols

dusky apex
#

I would rather get a mac than wasting time 😛

frozen meadow
#

i wish i had money for a mac

dusky apex
#

So why do you want to learn a Mac but have no money for a Mac xD

upper dove
#

(waves because I read about Macs) kappa

noble ferry
#

maybe buy an older mac

#

they aged quite well

frozen meadow
#

because i need to help someone else with theirs on this program

#

i might be getting an eMac 2002 lols

tawdry tundra
#

#

#

frozen meadow
#

#

upper dove
#

I've got a 2010 macbook white (The last white macbook they made) and it works pretty good as sort of a posh looking Chromebook :p

frozen meadow
#

how much is it?

upper dove
#

I bought it "Parts or not working" and fixed it in total for about £50

#

But refurbished ones are around like £200 ish

#

Good refurbished ones

grizzled crow
frozen meadow
#

how much you selling it for?

grizzled crow
#

mac has infected the tech chat

upper dove
#

Nah I use it myself now :p

frozen meadow
#

damn u

#

😂

upper dove
#

I'm using it right now kappa

frozen meadow
#

Macs are expensive on a lot of places, even ebay smh

upper dove
#

All I had to do was add some ram I found in my various parts box and an SSD from somewhere and it kinda works quicker than my imac up on the desk :p I can't watch any youtube vids higher than 720p @ 60fps because it's an old C2D but it works fine other than that

frozen meadow
#

ofc, it's a 2010 so 1080p would be a no for it

upper dove
#

I mean standard 1080p works fine after a while, but at 60 fps then it'll suffer

#

But it's fully up to date with the latest OS X version even to today which is surprising

frozen meadow
#

wow

upper dove
#

In fact the 2009 unibody white one is also still up to date now

#

Mac mini 1,1 if I remember correctly is a Core Duo CPU, it won't be any higher than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard as it's not 64 bit compatible

frozen meadow
#

ahh rip

upper dove
frozen meadow
#

10.6.8 is highest

upper dove
#

Ye

#

10.7+ requires a 64 bit CPU

frozen meadow
upper dove
#

You can actually still get official 10.6 install DVDs from Apple now xd

#

Ye that's excellent kappa

frozen meadow
#

it should run crisis

#

oh wait thats not on mac

#

errr

upper dove
#

I had one of those, then when I moved house it just mysteriously wouldn't turn on

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

frozen meadow
#

did you knock any cables inside?

#

😂

upper dove
#

Still got a bunch of spare parts I got from it tho inc some really old DDR memory and some old hard drive out of it xd

frozen meadow
#

lol

upper dove
#

What you might find with the old mac mini's is that the PSU isn't included with it and they're a nightmare to actually come across any official ones seperately

frozen meadow
#

im looking for the latest mac mini tbh

#

or a macbook that can run high sierra

upper dove
#

Ye macbook white from 2009 (Unibody)/2010

#

But to make them useful you basically must get an SSD

frozen meadow
upper dove
#

WOW I'd like to see one of them in person they do seem really cool in terms of their design xd

frozen meadow
#

it's great, but i need one thats usable in 2018 that is high sierra or mojave

#

:p

upper dove
#

I have one of the old Apple keyboards sat next to my desk, I was meant to restore it but just forgot 😂 it's quite badly yellowed but with some proper treatment using retrobrite it can be fixed

#

#

The G5's always blew their capacitors tho

frozen meadow

frozen meadow
#

wide temple
#

upper dove
#

🤔 Really? Thought that would still be supported (Or maybe my mind is just sleepy again)

frozen meadow
upper dove
#

Ah ye my mind is sleepy

wide temple
#

yup, it's officially "obsolete" now

frozen meadow
#

7 years aint bad tbh

upper dove
#

Hah this white macbook 8 years, also hasn't done bad for itself xd

wide temple
#

frozen meadow
#

MacOS is literally OOB made

frozen meadow

#

The hardware is great.

It's the OS that's wrong

frozen meadow
#

frozen meadow
#

£50 for all of that

noble ferry
#

or my mom does

#

sinful monolith
#

@wide temple seeing the calendar at a glance is not groundbreaking, which is why I'm so surprised Mac is the only one of the 3 major players that doesn't provide it.

noble ferry
#

who gives a shit tho

wide temple
#

It's such an edge case though

sinful monolith
#

it's very useful for anyone who needs to regularly schedule things

frozen meadow
#

last i checked the mac i used once had it already there

noble ferry
#

i dont do anything with my windows 10 calendar lol

sinful monolith
#

I don't do anything except look at it

#

noble ferry
#

i dont even look at it

#

lol

frozen meadow
noble ferry
#

i need a new monitor

sinful monolith
#

click on it and you can see upcoming events and the current month

noble ferry
#

and that mac mini

sinful monolith
#

click on it on mac and you see an option to change it to analog clock instead

noble ferry
#

haha analog clock

wide temple
#

I think you can get notification centre widgets/apps that add it anyway

sinful monolith
#

yeah, you can

wide temple
#

haven't used macOS in a while but I'm sure there's one

#

e.g. I use fantastical on my iPhone

sinful monolith
#

but that's the problem

#

basic feature, need a 3rd party app for it

noble ferry
sinful monolith
#

need a 3rd party app for it => need appsec review on it

noble ferry
#

@sinful monolith what about a windows 10 mixer when you click the volume icon?

wide temple
#

again, it's an edge case

sinful monolith
#

what about it

noble ferry
#

yeah

#

where is it

sinful monolith
#

it's there

#

lol

noble ferry
#

nah

#

it isnt

frozen meadow
noble ferry
#

theres only a volume slider

#

@frozen meadow maybe pay a bit extra for sending

frozen meadow
#

:/

sinful monolith
#

right click it => open volume mixer?

noble ferry
#

yeah

#

right click

#

smh

#

and its in a windows 7 theme

frozen meadow
#

WINDOWS

noble ferry
#

🤢

frozen meadow
#

Why are you upside down

sinful monolith
#

where's the volume mixer on mac? LUL

frozen meadow
#

is it upside down for you guys

wide temple
#

I think you press option?

frozen meadow
#

wtf

noble ferry
#

lol

sinful monolith
#

I don't even see a volume slider in general outside the touchbar

noble ferry
#

i mean

#

theres hardware keys

wide temple
#

It's in the menu bar

#

unless you took it off

noble ferry
#

windows lacks too lol

sinful monolith
#

which menu bar do you mean

wide temple
#

Top menu bar?

#

there's only one menu bar on OS X

sinful monolith
#

hm.. not there

wide temple
#

It should be there unless you accidentally moved it off

sinful monolith
#

and knowing Apple I doubt they'd give an option

wide temple
#

you can rearrange icons on the menu bar or remove them completely

frozen meadow
#

brb

noble ferry
wide temple
#

you'll have to go in sound settings in system preferences to add it back

noble ferry
#

mac mini is underrated

sinful monolith
#

weird that it'd be off

#

though I can't tell if that's IT's or Apple's doing

noble ferry
#

it

wide temple
#

It's definitely there by default, unless they decided to get rid of on the TB Macs (which I doubt)

sinful monolith
#

that could be since it is on the touchbar by default

wide temple
#

can't say I have the answer for it as the Mac I have is ancient

sinful monolith
#

how do you lock your mac?

#

the touchbar version, to its credit, has a dedicated button on it

wide temple
#

Control+Shift+Power

sinful monolith
#

because that's intuitive

noble ferry
#

the touchbar is

sinful monolith
#

true

#

you do need to dig up the touchbar's settings to add it tho, it's not default

wide temple
#

It's one extra key press compared to Windows

noble ferry
#

late 2012 mac mini 😩 😩 😍

sinful monolith
#

pressing the power button to do anything except control power (sleep, shutdown) is unintuitive. vs. Win+L(ock).
But also one of them has a way to do it via UI...

frozen meadow
#

go to desktop then alt+f4

#

:p

sinful monolith
#

2 ways via UI ^

wide temple
#

I mean if you're going down that route I can say win+L is unintuitive when you have Touch ID

frozen meadow
leaden swallow

frozen meadow

We are ready for it

frozen meadow

leaden swallow
#

3 years of storage probably dead

upper dove
#

I can't remember if this works on the polycarbonate macbooks, but try holding command-R (Or option-command-R over the internet) just after pressing the power button, it might take you to OS X recovery

leaden swallow
#

nope

#

this is late 2008

upper dove

Ah

#

What’s this?

noble ferry
#

pc part picker

#

you can pick pc parts there

#

thats my future build xd

stable turtle
#

Yea no

#

Way to pricey

noble ferry
#

whats your budget?

stable turtle
#

1000-1500 CAD

#

650 Eur - 976 Eur

#

Keep in mind my job is summer only and pays 10 CAD per hour

noble ferry
#

okay

stable turtle
#

So I can’t really afford high end stuff

#

The only reason it’s that high is, normally I work 150 hours per year. 150 - 1500 CAD

keen yacht
#

You could afford the lowest end AMD one

#

with a 1060 (6gb)

#

It's 934 euros

#

and don't forget a 1060 and a Ryzen 5 like that can run so much on high

stable turtle
#

Eh

keen yacht
#

and if you were to go for intel you get warranty anyway

#

so if it were to fail like you said

#

then it'd probably be replaced

stable turtle
#

The only games it would be running is GTA 5, Rainbow Six: Siege, Gmod, and ATS

#

lets not get too fancy here

keen yacht
#

the lowest spec tho is 1060 and ryzen 5

stable turtle
#

The “ Lowest End AMD “ is the highest end of my budget.

#

That’s not factoring for the mouse and stuff

keen yacht
#

It's the lowest end of the Nzxt price thing

#

true

stable turtle
#

I’ll probably build myself a mechanical keyboard

#

I love clicking things

#

ignore my 1500 hours played on Cookie Clicker

keen yacht
stable turtle
#

Rip

#

Cant submit in reports tho

noble ferry
stable turtle
#

Also, wrong channel?

noble ferry
#

yeah

upper dove
noble ferry

we were talking about tech

sorry master coco

Meow

noble ferry

but then viva driver came in

keen yacht
#

Technically, no, I was talking before you, suggesting the site

#

please don't like

lie

#

thanks

upper dove
#

Me no master here I’m as unpowerful here as anyone else 😉

noble ferry
stable turtle
#

That’s pretty nice price

keen yacht
#

if you can read

stable turtle
#

But I’d need to build it.

keen yacht
#

Yeah

#

and as you said earlier

stable turtle
#

I don’t have the tools for that.

untold matrix
#

Ok

keen yacht
#

you would probably break the motherboard

stable turtle
#

Nor the patience

#

That too

keen yacht
#

Same I'm really impatient

noble ferry
#

buy a screwdriver kit lol

stable turtle
#

eeehhhh

#

I wonder if Mr. neighbour man would have the tools

#

He loves building pc’s

noble ferry
#

maybe ask him to help

#

when you got all the parts

stable turtle
#

He’s in Alaska for the next year tho

keen yacht
#

rip

stable turtle
#

Him and his wife kinda just disappeared

#

I got the call last night that they needed me to keep their lawn in check

#

Also to feed their birb

keen yacht
#

birb?

#

mm

#

nice birbs

stable turtle
#

Birb.

#

Alright, night. Tis 3:33AM

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/otl/

BleepingComputer
Download OTL

OTL, or OldTimer ListIt, is a tool that is used to diagnose a computer for a possible malware presence and to provide system diagnostics information that can by someone working on a computer.  When run, OTL will scan your computer for a variety of information and then genera...

#

download that and give logs

#

do "quick scan"

keen yacht
#

Okay soo uh

#

My plan is

wide temple
#

has that been updated for Windows 10? GWfroggyMonkaThink

vocal cliff
#

yeah it works on win10

keen yacht
#

Install Sophos (the day it was installed the malware didn't come into action) and if something bad happens or it keeps happening then I'm going full force with all I can get

wide temple
#

Malware typically doesn't just "come into action"

vocal cliff
#

If you run OTL I can take a look at the logs

keen yacht
#

On that day though it didnt happen

#

and 2 hours after I uninstall Sophos it does

wide temple
#

you must have downloaded something, or visited a website that contained an exploit (JS exploits have become more common over time)

keen yacht
#

Yeah I admit to downloading 1 pirated game on this PC

vocal cliff
#

Recently?

keen yacht
#

month ago

vocal cliff
#

eh... doubt that would be it

wide temple
#

did you execute the program in the last few days?

keen yacht
#

Hmm

#

No

wide temple
#

highly unlikely for it to be that personally

vocal cliff
#

When you first runt hat program (the pirated), did Sophos give any warning?

keen yacht
#

No you can't run it

#

It doesn't run

#

double clicked on it

#

nothing happened

vocal cliff
#

The only thing I can think of (if it's malware) that there's a persistent dropper which was not successful due to Sophos, but after you uninstalled it became successful. But even then, we can't be sure unless you give us OTL logs or something similar

keen yacht
#

It's because its svchost its not meant to be manually run

vocal cliff
#

I'm talking about the pirated program, not svchost

keen yacht
#

Oh okay

#

Well we dont know what it is

#

but it shows 'svchost' if you open file locaiton on tskmgr

noble ferry
#

maybe get better sources when you download pirated games

wide temple
#

I'm inclined to think different, that he picked up malware through an infected site or something similar

#

do you run adblocker by any chance?

keen yacht
#

No

#

I do not

wide temple
#

you really should be

noble ferry
#

get ublock origin

vocal cliff
#

Can you please run an OTL scan?

keen yacht
#

I will let me install Sophos its finished downloading

vocal cliff
#

At least then we'd have something to work off rather than just speculating

keen yacht
#

Oh

#

Windef found threats

#

um

noble ferry
#

maybe install the malwarebytes i sent you

keen yacht
#

im gonna install otl

#

this is downloaded into my main download folder

#

umm

noble ferry
#

place it on your desktop?

keen yacht
#

I did

#

then it said 'file not found'

#

ok its quick scanning

noble ferry
#

any unusual programs in apps& features?

keen yacht
#

it worked

#

how long do these take @vocal cliff

vocal cliff
#

few minutes, not long

keen yacht
#

okay

noble ferry
#

what even is olt lol
