I also have three small kids, and sometimes when they play too loudly indoors, I seek silence with industrial earmuffs. Good purchase, even though the wife disapproves, for some bizarre reason... =D

Oh yeah, cinemas... last time i went there, they turned the bass up to max, so it was BOOM BOOM BOOOOM!!! the whole time. Guess people need loud signals these days, otherwise they don't sense anything.

I've had tinnitus for about 5 years now. I also got mine from a concert where I was dumb and didn't bring my earplugs. Shitty band too, such a waste. Anyway I was also freaking out about it in the beginning, but I took solace in the fact that it wasn't affecting my ability to hear, and even very low sound makes it inaudible. Now I never notice it, unless I have a bad cold with a stuffy nose which makes it a bit louder, but a mild annoyance at most.

Ads were getting too intrusive and annoying even before adblockers were mainstream. The advertisers brought it upon themselves by making their ads so annoying. Hell the only reason I started using an adblocker is because a Flash add on DeviantArt was destroying my single-core PC at the time.

And don't forget the 8 other "download now" buttons that you find on file sharing websites which will download anything except what you are actually expecting...

NoScript is my friend with websites where 1 tab takes 500MB ram. It also adds the options to choose which scripts to allow, so I block google-analytics, facebook.net, etc. While allowing some trusted website.

Also consider blocking all cookies by default and allowing only a few trusted ones through.

Apparently, (Threat of) DMCA was used to remove some servers from easylist which the adblockers use, last year: https://torrentfreak.com/dmca-used-to-remove-ad-server-url-from-easylist-a...

Vizima at night, Vizima outskirts.

For Witcher 3 swamp for orphans, Novigrad slums and Hindersfjall. There's a couple more but those are my favourite.

 

Manual sun rise needed to get those.

Well, since you know the names of the song, I guess you were able to find them otherwise In the opposite case I would help you to find them out, since I really missed the brzeg song from witcher (

), which weren´t included in the OST as well. I haven´t yet properly played Witcher 3, so I can´t help you with those. Although I must say that OST to W3 (and W1) is brilliant.

Sorry for the multiplied posts.

I found them alone of course.

 

Witcher 2 has the most complete OST if you're interested in that.

 

Witcher 3 is brilliant as well in it's own way.

Though imho the story has weak points. If you want to I can send you a resume of a debate on why that is the case (in comparisson to previous games).

 

Theres's also great fan inspired music. Great, great frnachise. Captures something through post modernism that Ga...

I personally would like to see the PS4 become a hybrid console/compact gaming PC, so that's why I'm excited about this.

hmm, who has got a PS4 and some basic linux skills, would love to see this..

Imagine TDM running on a Beowulf cluster of PS4s!

 

Well, hopefully if they're dumb enough to do this, they're dumb enough to not check on said tires and the problem eventually solves itself.

Eh, when I lived in NYC, the morning delivery trucks come in around 4 with their screeching loud air breaks every morning. It's just part of living there. So things could be worse.

@Bikerdude, the performance metric that makes SSDs great is random I/O. It's unfortunate that sustained writes would drop off a cliff, but not the end of the world.

@Jaxa, yeah that was my primary reason for getting one. On the Sustained reads/writes - I had to reimaged my PC last night so coped my games folder (200gb) to my Crucial P1 1TB, and sure enough 75% of the way through the write speed dropped off a cliff, 400-500mb/a down to 95mbs (that speed I think is only slightly faster than my old WD mechanical HDD.

Can't knock the read speed though - got decent chipset and RAM, then you're always first in the game and get pick of the roles in Red Orchestra 2.

 

It's nice to push the on button and have windows boot up before you've had a chance to sit down and take a sip of tea.

It happens everywhere. More poverty more fights, more drunks, less control, less authority.

I guess in impoverished islamic countries it's even worse.

Violence - the simple problem solving model for simple people.

when you say street fight in japan do you mean on playstation?

'cause there's no hot headed members.

Well not anymore at least..

Create a new thread called "Linux vs Windows."

There, now you've got the means of bringing out the hot-headed members.

WTF is ASLR..?

 

Only ASLR I know of is Address Space Layout Randomization. It is a feature of the OS to randomize the way memory is allocated, in an effort to make attacks more difficult to execute. Far as I know, it has nothing to do with BIOS.

Honestly this would be a good standalone project on something like UE4. D3 had limited network support but wasn't great even in it's heyday.

Two important things to note are...

 

A: No need to code extensive NPC stealth interaction since it would be purely player based.

 

B: Project (light based) stealth could try and harness strict visibility based stealth. Since players will require clear line of sight, "fake darkness" really would have no place there. You really would need straight black in the darkest corners.

Almost done with arena map. thieves are on player side; mages, pagans and moors on elemental team - so you have 4 sides: monster, townsfolk, thieves, exotic. It crashes sometimes when you have about 20 creatures, but I guess there must be such price.

The longer we keep them on the line, the less they can actually rip people off. The other day I asked one to fix my Linux computer. Boy, did that get him mad! At that point you're making it obvious that you're just toying with them.

I don't think so.

Ordinary workers on a wage have no guilt.

I use WFC to block all games(and other applications) I play so they don't get access to the internet.

The trouble is that most (all?) games require admin privs to install and play on Windows, at least if you install the official way. At that point, they can do whatever they like to your system. Security needs a redo on the PC, where programs are prohibited from tampering with each other by compartmentalization in the OS.

ESO is mentioned as one of the games which had RedShell. I noticed a quick update which isn't mentioned in the patch notes, so it's got to be RedShell removal.

@Biker - But he said it's a brand new drive. Perhaps defective?

Cheaper high-density SSDs can't come soon enough.

SSDs can also fail unexpectedly.

Epic and entirely preventable blunder on their part. At least they've fixed the root issue they should have done years ago, for what it's worth I guess.

the signed certificates are built into the addons, just that firefox wasn't recognising thoses signed certificates.

or something at firefox end was,'t recognising things.

Stopped using firefox a while ago due to v60 breaking half my addons, now currently using waterfox.

I don't really get the point of spam bots anyway.. has anyone in the past 5-10 years ever seen a spam link in a forum and followed it and bought a product? it just seems like a waste of time

Indeed. I really don't get this, too.

The spammer is still here, though silenced... all day long

The security of Linux has nothing to do with it being "obscure". The security comes from the open source nature and the fact that if a program misbehaves people can remove it, modify it, or even switch to a different distro.

@Chakk, your missing the point. It has nothing to do with your average user being IT illiterate, but more to do with M$ attempting to harvest private data without consent.

computers use you!

But, dude, developers threaten revolt!!!

Orb is a pro-Vulkan partisan! Get him!!! (Or just resign yourself to using GLSL to SPIR-V ...)

Introducing something new is well and good, but yanking out support for a cross-platform standard that is used by masses of programs is an assholish thing to do.

I would think it more likely that movies and games both draw from the same free sound libraries, so you'll get crossover now and then.

This really makes me sick! Really, it irritates me that much everytime that I'm totally excited!

Yeah, that happens all the time with the cloacking eletric sound of the Predator in AvP, I hear it everywhere in ads and b-movies. But in a word, yes, yes it does.

 

I'm using Qemu on Linux to host. It uses the KVM (kernel virtual machine), to map the hardware. In addition to the graphics card, I mapped through a USB hub and optical drive. You can literally plug two keyboards/mice and monitors into it and host a tournament on one machine.

I use a hardware KVM switch to switch sides. A single button press toggles between Windows and Linux on one keyboard/mouse/monitor. The machine is 6-core with 16 GB of RAM, so I split it in two. (3 cores/8 GB for each side). The machine MUST support VT-D/AMD-V and an IOMMU for it to work.

For anybody that tries this, it seemed like the Windows side was occasionally dying. I would switch to it and it would just be black. The issue is that Windows suspends after a wile by default and I guess QEMU/KVM do not support this because it can't wake. Just turn suspend off in the guest to fix it.

Analog mechanics rule. Digital stuff is ok. Always-on digital sttuff is crap. IOT smart devices is the devil and should burn in a pit of molten tungsten.

Current IoT gear is crap because the manufacturer's don't care about security and robustness. Recently there was a story of some smart locks getting bricked because the vendor pushed a firmware update for a particular model onto the wrong model of lock. The locks didn't even have the ability to detect that the firmware wasn't going to work, they just accepted whatever firmware came their way. Such a lack of foresight.

Yeah, aside from issues like botnets and unlawful surveillance and other gaping security holes. My mind wanders to issues with cheap stuff that's designed to be replaced in quick succession with newer products. Electronic waste from things that had no business having it, like toothbrushes and underwear! Some smart devices are just no-exception useless and fall under the category of a party gift or something. And inevitably gets tossed in the bin right quick.

Time to change ISP if your able to then, even $25 for a 1.5mb connection is taking the royal piss!

Call most any ISP over here and they'll want at least $20 for 1.5mb/s service. We have a saying for American Internet; "The only thing that goes up is the price!" Maybe its because spying on everyone is so expensive, or maybe they just don't want to overload room 641A. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A

Too bad my older Chromebook doesn't support Android or Linux. But some ChromeOS users could be able to use that to play TDP/TMA.

My guess:

If the stuff is the protein liquid that the body generates when it is fighting the inflammation, it will not generate if the sealing of the pit will stop the hole from getting inflamed.

Better not make guesses with coffee predictions and go to the nearest doctor.

This should be in off-topic.

The saga continues! Apparently this wasn't the only guy...

Its so funny to see the company change their tune, when the backlash starts to build...

You have to admit that the customer support was paying attention with laser focus.

I could totally do that at my job, but I'd be killing your whole internet access to your house. Would never do that though, but I could.

As far as i read you can download a tool from Microsoft, and then you'll be able to choose which updates you want to install. And yeah, i think they do the mandatory automatic updates due to user convenience, or should i say ignorance. But i agree that it should be configurable at least for people who don't want it. That's not a "professional" option but rather something every version should have.

Don't worry just yet.
