Re: General discussion chat Id uninstall stuff I dont play anymore, but I ALWAYS end up going to play whatever game I uninstalled within the same week, EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to uninstall a game to clear space, so I dont (still have about 300 something gb free on my 1tb drive, planning on getting a 4tb drive sometime after I get a new gpu though, at which point 1tb becomes main os drive and things like chrome and such
Re: General discussion chat This is my 8 year old 140GB 5400rpm HDD pulled from a dead Vaio. (imported from here) I used it for a year as training wheels for an SSD only to discover that after buying a 120GB Sammy, I found myself too lazy to migrate my files over so it's sitting on my desk gathering dust now
Re: General discussion chat So, google has just alerted me that someone from China tried to login to my google acc, first time ive ever had unusual acc activity on anything. So at least google knows how to do one quite important thing right: keep your acc safe from hackers in china, anyway, im going to go do a bunch of virus and malware scanning My pcs and phones (lol, autocorrect tried to autocorrect my pcs to MySpace, why the heck is that pre programmed into autocorrect, seriously, who the heck uses MySpace these days) Sent from the 3rd galaxy from the talks of tapping
Re: General discussion chat So apparently we get chrome books this year. I thought we were gonna get the same shitty Samsung ones that the middle school got but apparently were gonna have some nice looking dells. (Teachers have them already. ) Also, they finally got wide screen monitors and new computers.
Re: General discussion chat So a couple of weeks ago, I was getting a redirect malware thingy on my IE and Chrome. So I followed some stes to get rid of the shit, and after all the scans and file deletes, I restarted my computer and all of a sudden, my WiFi adapter just...stopped working. It was connected to the actual WiFi, but it wouldn't even try and bother to gather any info packets, or anything, and shot me an error message every time I restarted the WiFi connection. Well good thing I have a Samsung, and it came with the full recovery mode. So I proceeded to back up all my porn and music and save games etc, and did a complete restore back to the first day of purchase (sometime last year). After, I had to sit through LITERALLY HUNDREDS of Windows Updates, which made me nervous, but once they were all done, I booted it up and it worked great. It was about 3 or 4 of those stressful days that are just like any other fresh computer, such as forgotten passwords, stuff I wished I backed up...And then the drivers and software updates. After all my drivers and most of my programs were updated, I Installed Steam and BeamNG and started it up (this is after I OC'd again from1.5Ghz to 2.5Ghz). The game was basically laggy as a bag of rocks dragging across the desert sand. Before I did the restore, my HDD and everything was SO fragmented, but at least BeamNG ran at a DECENT 24-30 FPS consistently. Now, when I had a completely fresh computer with the same OC settings and all current CPU/APU drivers etc, the game ran like shit. This was about 3 weeks ago. Now, yesterday, I was on the Toyota Sequoia thread by Calamity, and noticed a while back that I never got to try his Windstar in ROR. So I downloaded ROR and did a fresh install. In one of the setup steps, it needed to install "the latest DirectX drivers" and the game finished installing. (side note: ROR runs like total crapppp!!! And the graphics are pretty terrible, all compared to BNG of course ) I decided to stop playing that game, (all while I am at work ((and TODAY is my last day here so I REALLY DGAF)) and put BNG back on. IT ran like butter!! (and it still is right now). All that happened was DX was installed to the latest drivers...Possibly, when I installed Deus Ex (from 1999) and it installed DX, do you think it actually installed an old, crappy version? I didn't know DX installed older versions than what it already is installed as. I didn't even know DX had such an impact on FPS! (I could tell it was GFX bottlenecking compared to my previous BeamNG install, because FPS did NOT increase after I pressed J, OR lowered Graphics settings). Does this make sense?? And sorry for the ramble, Im a bit stoned at the moment. (last day at work and all lol)
Re: General discussion chat Hmm Are Using a GeForce GTX 780 Ti If yes Beamng does not like that graphics card if not I have no idea what the issue is the Virus may have damaged something and slowed your pc down
Re: General discussion chat Viruses do not damage hardware. Good luck finding a laptop with a 780Ti. He already said he fixed it. Its pretty much the entirety of DirectX9 that hates NVidias GK110 core btw (which is used in the 780Ti, the Titan and the 800 series cards). With DX9 being a legacy product now I don't think microsoft or Nvidia are concerned. Sadly at the moment Torque3d is DirectX9 which of course means BeamNG is too although OpenGL is being added for linux support so hopefully OpenGL on windows will be possible too which should then fix the 780Ti issues.
Re: General discussion chat I actually once coded a little bug that would work it's way, slowly of course, into the bios and it would slowly overclock the processor to the point it would overheat. Had to get rid of it though, apparently it's a 'National Security hazard'. Shh... I'm not a threat to national security...
Re: General discussion chat You're complete lack of terminology there sadly reveals your post as BS. In computing, you don't slowly do stuff unless you are trying to brute force keys or something. You're either in or you're not. Also your BIOS is on a protected EEPROM not writable even under kernel mode in any OS. Even if you did, the BIOS is board specific and therefore would limit the malware to 1 target system type only, nobody would bother with restricting themselves to such a narrow subset.
Re: General discussion chat Not when it's a Pentium 3 and a Pheonix bios. You'd be surprised what you could have done back then.
Re: General discussion chat Something tells me hes not OLD enough to remember Pentium 3 and the horror of Phoenix BIOS....
Re: General discussion chat Well no shit, that being the whole point of the image. Anyway I guess redrobin has been caught red handed.

Re: General discussion chat yep, because you completely have to use old technology in the same year it was made in/used in
