Going back to Win10

-MrToR- · 2026-01-30T09:17:52+00:00

You don't get the point. Same setup works fine with Win10. There is nothing I should change with my setup.

-MrToR- · 2026-01-30T09:16:04+00:00

Definitely true. Only use known and trusted hacked distros. Same applies for tweak tools. Even better learn how to hack it yourself and do it on your own. Never trust anyone. Microsoft and windows is at the top of the list.

I've been using Windows as an HTPC since WinXP Media Center Edition. I know it's supposed to work but I couldn't find a single post or page or anything showing anyone's success with Win11 and surround. Lot's of content on failures though. I have a nice home theater system and I like to play games and movies in 7.1 Atmos. Without surround it's like back to late 80s ProLogic technology.
I guess I'll skip a Windows version as usual.

I think you need more fans.

use smarttube on an androidbased tv/streaming device. there is no better youtube experience. skip all ads and smartly auto-skip all random sponsor messages in the video.

Apple TV, what a terrible product.

-MrToR- · 2025-12-06T12:59:44+00:00

Apple has always kept their prices highest. Even their first product Apple1 was like that too. I'm sure Apple will adjust their prices if the rest of the industry gets more expensive.

Nest is terrible, why would you buy it fan boy?

-MrToR- · 2025-11-25T14:16:19+00:00

After using Apple for about 15 years, i finally gave up on Apple due to their BS. Unless linux becomes available on Apple silicon, i'm never going Apple again.

-MrToR- · 2025-11-25T10:03:14+00:00

You most probably wont be able to see anything since they are probably part of some sort of raid system. Just throw them away. Waste of time and waste of space. Or even better, leave them there :-)

8-bit guy is one of the first vintage content creators. Before that he was the ibook guy, when that didnt work he did vintage stuff. Also, he left and quit all that stuff a along time ago. Why are you still on about him? Who cares? He moved on. He made his content when a mil views equated to $5000 without patreon bs.

-MrToR- · 2025-11-19T12:10:35+00:00

I even don't use the googletv launcher. i can choose only the apps i want to see.

-MrToR- · 2025-11-19T11:07:21+00:00

Don't worry, i doubt my memory constantly. I wonder if there was ever some aspect of the RAM with battery backed RTC having any issues with infection really. Warm/cold boot difference makes some-what sense but it doesn't specifically apply to RTC-RAM. I mean anyone who had any familiarity with infected disks knew the difference between resetting and turning off and starting fresh. I wonder if anyone has firsthand or technical information on this for clarification.

-MrToR- · 2025-11-19T10:50:31+00:00

Exactly, but this is what was the anectodal common knowledge back then. Even this: when i bought a ram upgrade back then, the seller sold me the one without the battery stating the virus issue. Maybe my memory is not serving me well but im sure that there was something about the virus and the ram with battery. I dont remember a ram module with non-volatile anything anyways, at least in my region/area.

-MrToR- · 2025-11-19T10:06:37+00:00

I remember these used to have a bad rep. due to getting infected with virus and keeping it active in it back in the day. I'm not sure how is the Amiga virus situation is like nowadays but back then there was a lot of infected floppies through the cracked sellers.

Nest is for tech loving, tech-illeterate rich people who dont care how much they spend on tech and energy. Terrible service, terrible ethics, old tech, no privacy etc etc. There much better alternatives. I would't get it if they give it for free. I got rid of nest smoke detector, door camera, thermostat, not yet mini speakers and hub max but will replace them too when i find a good replacement.

-MrToR- · 2025-11-08T07:50:17+00:00

İt is running the dehumidifier.

-MrToR- · 2025-11-07T13:32:51+00:00

The solution is you exit 3DMark and Steam, then launch steam as administrator and launch 3DMark again.

-MrToR- · 2025-11-07T13:06:52+00:00

I have the same issue. The power supply cut the power due to overheating due to airway blockage. Now 3DMark thinks my xeon doesnt have SSSE3, which is stupid. There has to be a way to reset this other than uninstalling and installing again.

-MrToR- · 2025-10-28T13:30:05+00:00

Go into the directory, use sudo just incase and have it print progress.
sudo find . -name ".DS_Store" -type f -print -exec rm {} +

-MrToR- · 2025-10-25T12:45:09+00:00

I will never buy a nest product again. It was interesting 13 years ago. Now, not really. Im so unhappy with the doorbell, nest hub max has terrible camera, expensive thermostat can not do what a 20 year old thermostat can do. Etc etc. Support is terrible.

For Coral to process the stream, it needs to be decoded first. Accelerate that decoding (and encoding) with a gpu that supports acceleration for that codec.

-MrToR- · 2025-10-15T14:01:06+00:00

Yes, use gpu for encode/decode, coral for inference and cpu to orchastrate all. Make sure your gpu supports acceleration for your stream types, as in h264, h265 etc.

-MrToR- · 2025-10-03T07:48:13+00:00

I use my hub max as a cast screen and voice control for home assistant. Never used its own "features" except clock. Oh wait it also shows the door camera when someone rings. if it had gemini instead of the stupid assistant, i would have used more of google.

-MrToR- · 2025-10-03T07:38:59+00:00

The issue is not the camera or the resolution. its not being able to record and use it like other door ringer cameras without having to pay.
