  1. Question How to know if branded PC's m2. 2230 slot supports CNVi?

    CNVi is supported. A bit late to the party, I know, but I had this exact same question, and couldn't find an answer. This thread was one of the Google search results, so I figured I should update this thread, in case anyone in the future stumbles upon it like I did. In any case, I decided to...

  2. SAMSUNG 840 EVO What to do with it?

    Since the problem is with the "drifting" (i.e., euphemism for "degradation") of the stored voltage over time, I can't see how that doesn't call into question the issue of data retention. Samsung's claim to the contrary is likely just damage-control PR. It may very well be the case that the...

  3. Samsung Exynos Thread (big.LITTLE Octa-core)

    Already? It seems like just yesterday that we started using 20nm, and 14nm is already starting mass production?? I mean, even Intel is just starting to trickle out 14nm. Did Samsung just substantially shrink Intel's process lead, or is this press release full of hot air?

  4. Reformat Preinstalled Windows 8.1

    Yes, it does. It uses a recovery image that the OEM has customized (to add things like drivers, branding, etc.). So unless unless the OEM prepped a recovery image without bloatware (seems unlikely), it'll include all that, too.

  5. Reformat Preinstalled Windows 8.1

    I clean-install everything, always. It's pretty easy with 8 and 8.1, though admittedly slightly more complicated than it was with 7. 0) If you haven't done so already, read your current key from the MSDM table. I use AIDA64 for this, but there are other freeware utilities that can do this...

  6. Contraption Maker (sequel to The Incredible Machine)

    Made by the same people who made The Incredible Machine. It's basically a modern high-def remake of TIM, with the same components, mechanics, and much of the same style, and it's very faithful to TIM. http://store.steampowered.com/app/241240/ Anyway, I noticed it because it was on sale this...

  7. Problems with latest Adobe Flash Player?

    With the number of security vulnerabilities that regularly pop up in Flash, you must either keep it up-to-date or get rid of it. Avoiding Flash updates isn't some "middle ground"--it's recklessness. (And as discussed in the other thread, the problems that you had seen with the updates was the...

  8. Windows 8.1 connects to random guest network

    The Windows 8.1 WiFi connection manager will connect to a network if and only if 1) you've connected to it before and 2) you checked the box to automatically connect to that network. That box is checked by default only for password-protected networks; it is unchecked by default for public guest...

  9. Unintrusive Antivirus?

    Who cares? AV is optional. It's a backstop. A last-ditch defense when the primary lines of defense fail. People who expect AV to act as the front-line and who expect it to do oodles of wonderful things are 1) deluding themselves 2) practicing bad security and 3) opening themselves to loads of...

  10. Enable Virtualization for Hyper-V

    What do you see when you run coreinfo -v? It should look something like this:C:\Windows\system32>coreinfo -v Coreinfo v3.31 - Dump information on system CPU and memory topology Copyright (C) 2008-2014 Mark Russinovich Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz...

  11. DVR program for Windows 8 with on screen controls, short skip ahead (10 sec)

    Any reason why you aren't using Windows Media Center? As far as DVR software goes, it's the best, IMO. It doesn't have a skip per se, but it does let you speed up playback and fast-forward. But for material that has already been fully recorded, I actually prefer watching using VLC (the newer...

  12. Weird Win 7 black start menu/unable to open items

    It's likely that the problem builds up over time until it hits the limit, instead of thousands of handles leaking instantaneously. It's likely a slow-motion train wreck that you can spot long before it actually happens. Just keep procexp running in the background and take a quick look at the...

  13. Weird Win 7 black start menu/unable to open items

    As I've already said, the symptoms are consistent with a resource leak. You're not going to find the answer in the event log or in any standard diagnostic. Download and run Process Explorer (run it with UAC elevation so that it can show the details for privileged processes as well). Turn on the...

  14. Windows 9 Start menu, posted on arstechnica

    Aero is still there in Windows 8. In fact, they removed the fallback mode so that Aero (which is actually the new compositor in Vista) is always active, even in a VM or over a RDP session (which, BTW, is fantabulous). What Windows 8 removed is the Aero Glass style. Which is exactly what it...

  15. Windows 9 Start menu, posted on arstechnica

    That... is already there in 8.1. Hit the Win key. And start typing. The only difference is that in 7, you see the text box immediately after hitting the Win key. In 8.1, you don't see the text box until you start typing. But that is merely a cosmetic difference: the process in both cases is 100%...

  16. Looking for Internet connection alarm program

    I wrote something like this, except instead of sounding an alarm, it logs it. A number of years ago, when my ISP was denying that they were having reliability issues, I was able to rattle off to them the exact times and durations of each outage that week, which eventually earned me an apologetic...

  17. Good Linux distro for old PC?

    OS system requirements haven't really changed all that much. Don't invest too much time worrying about the OS, as I'm sure pretty much anything suggested here would do just fine (that said, I'll throw my personal vote for Xubuntu), and that any responsiveness differences between them would be...

  18. Windows 9 Start menu, posted on arstechnica

    I don't care much for the live tiles, though the ones for news and weather are nice. What I like about the Start Screen (and why I'll likely keep using it) is that it has the real estate to let me pin a lot of things at a size that lets me see the text as well as the icon (since I scan for text...

  19. Weird Win 7 black start menu/unable to open items

    I've seen this before. Sounds like something on your system is leaking GDI objects. http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2010/03/31/3322423.aspx

  20. Windows 8.1 app starts splashes then disappears

    That sounds more like an intermittent error with your optical disc. If it were a hard drive problem, it would instead be an unrecoverable write error. If it was a hard drive problem, a zeroing of the drive (or other forced write of the whole drive) could force the drive's firmware to remap bad...

  21. Windows 8.1 app starts splashes then disappears

    That doesn't make the threat widespread, and you know it. It's a relatively easy thing to do, compared to other things in the fight against malware. Bytes, not sectors. Never, ever did I admit to the usefulness of wiping a whole GB of space, which is what the first and last million sectors...

  22. Windows 8.1 app starts splashes then disappears

    On the rise? Really? The security community has an affinity for the exotic. Which is understandable. Yes, bootkits exist. There are even some that make use of VT-x and act as a hypervisor (which was a great excuse for Sony to go around disabling VT-x with no way of turning it back on some...

  23. Windows 8.1 app starts splashes then disappears

    Yes, you should delete and recreate the partition table if you want to be thorough. But that's still a quick format (no need to wipe the first million sectors--just delete the partition table). (And... boot sector viruses? This ain't the 90's. ;)) It deletes the partition table...

  24. Windows 8.1 app starts splashes then disappears

    There is no such thing as malware that can "hide" from a format. It's impossible. Keep in mind the Cardinal Rule: all malware is code, and all code is just inert data (and thus completely harmless), until executed. There is absolutely no danger whatsoever in keeping completely intact malware...

  25. Non UEFI mode in windows 8.1

    The main benefit is that Windows 8 can interface with the UEFI and tell it things like, "next time you boot, please enter UEFI setup" or "next time you boot, please boot from the flash drive instead". Mostly, it saves me the trouble of... 1) remembering what magic key (Esc, Del, F2, F10, F12...

  26. New 1TB SSD and windows 8.1

    Unless you use a blind sector-by-sector clone that doesn't go around creating new uuids for the partitions. The vast majority of cloning software try to be "smart" and end up completely fudging up the change-a-disk scenario. (Which is probably one of the most common use cases for cloning...

  27. Windows 8.1 app starts splashes then disappears

    Wow, what a case of complicating something easy. First, as people have pointed out, LLF doesn't do what you think it does. Simple quick formats that merely reinitialize the file system is just as good as a full writing of zeroes (the only time you need to write the whole disk is if you're...

  28. I find that Chrome isn't as good as the hype surrounding it.

    Are they really that frequent, though? And if it makes you feel any better, I think Pale Moon is simply reactionary and also overhyped.

  29. Defraggler vs Window's built in shows drastically different numbers

    It depends on how you define fragmented. 1) If you have a 4GB file split into two 2GB fragments, would you consider that file to be fragmented and in need of a defrag? I wouldn't. Once a file fragment is beyond a certain size, it doesn't really matter since, for all practical intents and...

  30. I find that Chrome isn't as good as the hype surrounding it.

    You mean, it's just another thread stating the obvious. ;) Seriously, I don't get why people hype Chrome so much. Despite Google poaching what seemed like half of Mozilla, Firefox is still the better browser. :P If it weren't for Google spamming ads for Chrome everywhere across their web...

  31. Accept Prompt in batch file

    Um, "start" spawns a new console. If the program that you are trying to automate is not a console program (i.e., GUI) or if it's spawned in a different console, there is nothing you can do from a batch file, period. So if it's a console program and if you get rid of that start, then you can...

  32. Extremely low volume with headphones in Windows 7

    If the problem is the result of a defect instead of bad design, then a RMA would likely be more prudent.

  33. Anyone else just HATE styling?

    I say this is true for UI design in general. And now you know why programmers love making command-line utilities. :D

  34. How do I get ms media center?

    It's been a while since I last tried MP, so I could be remembering wrong... but IIRC, MP has two parts: a client and server. The server is the part that does the tuning, and you need to get that configured properly (and also make sure you have the tuner's drivers properly installed).

  35. Extremely low volume with headphones in Windows 7

    It could be a bad jack or another form of hardware defect.

  36. Insidious Adobe Update

    Who the heck cares about some "official site" indicator? That's almost as useful as a SSL security indicator. Which is to say, it's pretty damn useless for the average person. Anyone savvy enough to know what the SSL indicator means or to know to look for some official site indicator probably...

  37. Insidious Adobe Update

    It's fine to show ads for florists if someone searches for flowers or ads for online stores when someone searches for a specific product. Because these ads help direct the user towards what they are looking for. But when someone is not looking for something to buy but is instead looking for...

  38. Insidious Adobe Update

    Um, DuckDuckGo isn't all that innocent, either... Search for "firefox" on DDG. The very first item--before any of the actual search results--is a "Sponsored Link" that says "Free Firefox® 32 Download". But instead of taking you to mozilla.com, that link takes you to Yahoo!, where, instead of...

  39. Name a game you own but just never go into

    Europa Universalis IV: EU3 was one of my all-time favorites, but between this being a new game and it having been years since I played EU3, I just didn't have the patience to get through the learning curve again. Bioshock Infinite: Got it free with my Radeon. Was a bit excited, after all the...

  40. Insidious Adobe Update

    Again, where are you people getting these things??? The official (as in, digitally signed by Mozilla) installer that you get from mozilla.com or firefox.com does not, has never, and will never include third-party crapware. There are a lot of unauthorized installers out there, many...
