    Question Digital Audio Feed issues on HDMI capable Receiver

    I have the AVR 254 from Harmon Kardon, and it works fine so far as I know, but there is a behavior that so far, Ive only been able to find one workaround for, and it's ridiculous. What happens: When an HDMI source is connected sound plays fine as long as sound actually is playing, so a Blu-ray...

    Quake II (free on Bethesda launcher) next 72 hours. Quake III next week.

    Quake II was probably my first true FPS, if you don't count Doom (played SO MUCH Doom, but mostly on consoles). I played actual CTF and DM in QII back in about 1997/98. Dial up Pings were a formidable opponent in and of themselves causing long leads and excellent timing to actually get kills. I...

    Any way to identify what is causing Win 10 to hang when logging in?

    Sorry i only saw this today and not sooner. I listen to Security Now on the regular, and Steve mentioned this in episode 779, the one that aired Aug 11th. Bleeping Computer has some reg hacks on the following page that allow you to do some things that aren't turned on out of the box in Windows...

    Question Whats the oldest Mac you still use daily?

    I'll chime in here, why not? My daily driver when I work from home used to be a 2013 rMBP 15". 512GB SSD with 16GB RAM. THere's a little bit of a story behind that one. I had found it in my work's recycle bin for electronics. This was maybe 2017 or so. An employee had brought it for proper...

    Question Microsoft PC Game Pass - Persistent game data through subscription lapse?

    Something must have went wrong then, because I let my subscription lapse, i couldn't justify $5 per month. I lost access to the game, but left it installed in case a sale showed up. I looked at the game pass again later and it was $1 again, so i renewed. All settings, levels, cars, points...

    When did you start computer gaming?

    First PC was an IBM PS/2 in about 1988, a 286 clocked at 11MHz, with a 20MB HDD and 512KB of RAM. Played Wheel of Fortune, Snarf, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards and Battle Chess. I was about 8 or 9 years old. It had a mechanical keyboard, those...

    How can a website identify me if I'm using a VPN and an alternative log in?

    Just spitballing here but they may have some kind of fingerprinting code on the site to thwart this kind of behavior. Granted, that does seem a little overboard for a forum site, but it depends on how serious they are taking their bans. The capability exists to have the browser query various...

    PUBG : Cheat or no cheat

    I have PUBG and while it is one of my least fav and therefore least PLAYED games, I've still put thousands of hours into FPS games and seeing that does not trip any cheater alarms for me. Just my two cents.

    Question Gamer SSD in real world

    Definitely a benefit from moving from mechanical drives, to SATA SSD to NVMe. A buddy of mine and myself have virtually the same machine. Same graphics card, i5 cpu, same amount of RAM, etc. He has an NVMe drive though, and I have a few year old SATA SSD. We both play Forza Horizon 4 currently...

    The oldest working drive(s) you have?

    Pretty sure the IDE Drive in my PS2 is a 200GB WD from early 2000's, maybe 2002, so it's about 18 years old and still going. That is probably the oldest one I have that is still in use. I'm sure I have some older, smaller ones somewhere, but they are questionable if they work, and they are not...

    Question Microsoft PC Game Pass - Persistent game data through subscription lapse?

    Well now we have conflicting information. JEDIYoda, so you have been in this scenario already and know that if the subscription expires, and you then purchase or resubscribe after a period of lapse, that the information and game data is gone upon logging back in? You have been in this situation...

    Question Microsoft PC Game Pass - Persistent game data through subscription lapse?

    Thank you for the reply, very informative, thank you. I'm new to Microsoft's stab at a "Steam-like" experience. So far, I honestly hate it. This game does show XBox live, but I've never used Xbox Live, am I just automatically using it if i get into any of the multiplayer in the game i wonder...

    Question Microsoft PC Game Pass - Persistent game data through subscription lapse?

    I just signed up for the $1 trial month of Game Pass. I wanted to try Forza Horizon 4. My question is not really answered in all the FAQs about the Game Pass. If I play the game for a month, accumulating credits and in game achievements, cars, and items, what happens to those achievements and...

    SNES Classic Extra Controllers?

    Have no interest in third party ones, they never feel right, ever. I have played the SNES Classic, and the controllers don't feel the SAME but they feel good, you can just tell they are first party.

    SNES Classic Extra Controllers?

    Like Zerocool said, it isn't. It is a controller connection of Nintendo's own design. I actually do have one of those iBuffalo ones. But it's for PC or Raspberry Pi emulation gaming. These are the same as the bottom of a Wiimote. NES Classic controllers work on a Wiimote and so do SNES Classic...

    SNES Classic Extra Controllers?

    Anyone hear ANYTHING about individual controllers being sold anywhere at this point? Or if not, anything about when they might be? I still don't see them anywhere. I don't have a SNES Classic but I do have a Wii with emulation. SNES is a rough go with a GCN controller and I don't really care for...

    Best Linux Server uptime?

    This. Yes. With vulnerabilities being found and patched at an almost DAILY rate, uptime for any server over a few weeks could actually be considered irresponsible.

    Snes classic incoming.

    This. I wanted one, but just couldn't deal with paying more than the retail price, and retailers were ALWAYS sold out. If it was real hardware and not emulation I may have tried harder, but it was really just a novelty piece for me. I don't really like emulation as much as playing the real thing...

    Best Linux Server uptime?

    Wow, this thread still getting replies. Ive since retired the box I posted about in the OP, don't play much MineCraft anymore these days. Or much PC games in general. More into retro games on consoles that are over a decade old. NES, SNES, N64, GameCube and Wii. Fun collecting for those systems...

    Goodbye NX, hello Switch

    Certainly. I was well into my 20s by this time and my handheld days were mostly my preteen and teenage years, although when I did see one in person I didn't care for the FRONT lit screen anyway. Backlit didn't come out until a couple of years later if I recall. That one was tempting though, but...

    Goodbye NX, hello Switch

    I played both my game boy and the game gear I had for a short time on ac adapter most of the time. So batteries were a non issue for me. I admitted they did well despite my misgivings. These were things I, me, myself, didn't care for. Not you or anyone else. Why you felt you had to contradict...

    Goodbye NX, hello Switch

    I am having a REALLY hard time seeing the value in a Switch. I have not bought a Wii U and I have no portables except my trustee Game Boy DMG-01 either. After seeing the Switch and having skipped the Wii U being underwhelmed, I have to say, I feel the same way still. Just, meh. Which is saying...

    Retro gaming

    Really nice collection there dude. That had to sting real bad. Yeah I had mostly first party games as well. The GameCube is a far underrated system, and IMO has, hands down, one of the best controllers available. Can't wait to get them back from the rents. I might attempt to mod one of them with...

    Retro gaming

    I managed to get a good one, Gam3Gear is the brand, had good reviews and looks quite good in actual use. Typically if you can get one that has ONLY S-Video and the two audio cables, you are good. DO NOT get the ones that have the composite wire as well, those seem to be the ones where they...

    Retro gaming

    I recently pulled out my SNES and N64 to play some Mario Kart 64, F-zero X and some Super Mario World. Wound up also hitting some UN Squadron, some TMNT IV, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs and oh man the list goes on. Was using AV and wanted to get the component cables from HD Retrovision but...

    need help choosing a console

    An original Wii would be a good option for a 5 year old really. Readily available used out there with games for well under $100. As well as a very large library (1500+) games on the used market for relatively low prices (save for a few gems of course). Additionally, if it is the real original...

    Honestly I'm not forced to use anything anywhere, so I consider myself lucky. At home I have an HP z420 workstation with 12GB of RAM, and a 3.0GHz Xeon processor. Win 10 sits on a RAID 0 of two Samsung 64GB drives and absolutely flies. I am a gamer. So I dig Windows 10, its a solid OS, and the...

    Surfing with no AV and only windows firewall.. why is my pc not infected?

    I love linux, I did install Linux Mint 17.3 xfce for many of the reasons stated in this thread. Used it for a while, even installed Steam and did some gaming (CSS and Left 4 Dead 2), but after a while I just couldn't take the extra time it takes to get certain things working. There was a few...

    Podcast App

    I've not ever used any third party podcast apps, I've always just used the one built into iOS 9. You can specify in which order you want the episodes displayed, and which order you'd like them to be played. Once you set those to match the behavior you are used to seeing on the "dumb" device, it...

    How do I get rid of this gray area in task manager?

    Yeah I messed with it a bit today, used my Mint 17.1 KDE disk I made a while back. I booted up the live environment, and this box was not present, and I could not figure out for the life of me what it was or how to get it to show up. So this is still a mystery it seems.

    How do I get rid of this gray area in task manager?

    Is that not the representation of your workspace? If you open windows, do little boxes representing those windows appear in the square? Or is that the little 4 box thing to the left? If it is not, then I'd be stumped as to what that is. Maybe i'll tinker with Linux mint KDE, i have it on a disk...

    Linux Mint 17.3 xfce high CPU usage

    Nail -> head. I've done this with servers to set static IPs before but it never occurred to me to try it on a home machine, especially since i wasnt USING wireless, setting the IP for it was the furthest thing from my mind. Even in this case to simply stop the interface from being managed by...

    Synergy or similar apps

    I like this, I don't think I could tolerate the slowness of the Pis but i like the concept. I ran a windows box, i think XP, next to a Mint 7 or 8 machine back in 2010 or 2011. Windows machine dual monitor, and the third monitor was dedicated to Mint. Synergy was also my connector of choice and...

    Linux Mint 17.3 xfce high CPU usage

    Clean install on an old laptop with an intel dual core processor, 2GB of RAM and a 64GB Kingston SSD. Snappy machine still, especially with lightweight (ish) distro on it. I picked this because ive been a long time user of Mint (since about version 6 or 7, i cant remember exactly), and it has...

    SSL broken, again, in POODLE attack

    This was long overdue though, the vulnerable technology is 15+ years old. Relatively easy mitigation. Just disable it.

    Updated BIOS. Now Windows will only boot in Safe Mode.

    This was my initial reaction too. Some BIOS updates have a tendency to default settings. Check this first.

    Upgrade Mid 2009 MBP or buy new?

    Time Machine is also a great way to "clone". I have a running backup drive that I always plug into my 2008 MBP when I have it at my desk. Time machine just always back up at regular intervals. When I picked up a REALLY FAST 160GB Intel 320 series SSD, I wanted to upgrade from the problematic...
