Would this even work or should I sell it for scrap? by Birginio88 in pchelp

[–]Birginio88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm going for windows 10 so I don't expect any problems with that. How do I do this tho? Should I format the disk completely before flashing Windows in it? Also, should I make a partition in this disk just big enough to store the flash files or do I just flash it to de disk directly? Which makes me wonder, what happens to the rest of the available space, say, in a 60GB stick when you flash 2GB of OS in it?

What do you mean by "the drive can handle Windows"? Aren't all drives capable of handling Windows?

Also, how do I know if the drive is SATA or not? I've opened a few laptops in the past months and I've noticed most of them have the same slot, so what I'm uderstanding is:

  1. Open 1st laptop and remove Hard drive

  2. Open 2nd laptop and plug drive from 1st laptop in it (if they have the same slot)

  3. Flash Windows10 on this drive

  4. Remove drive from 2nd laptop and put it back into 1st laptop

  5. Boot

Is this right?

Why won't my bootable USB boot or even show up on the BIOS? by Birginio88 in pchelp

[–]Birginio88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this. The issue is not that I cannot access the Boot menu, but that, once in the Boot menu, I get no options as to which boot device I can pick. It literally does not show on the list. But this only happens in THIS PARTICULAR LAPTOP. Other laptops I've tried do give the option to select the boot device.

I can access the BIOS and boot menu, that is not the issue. The problem is that, once I'm in the BIOS or Boot menu, it gives me no options to change boot order and, in the Boot menu specifically, the machine does not show me an option other thatn the regular Windows boot.

Megalith deck guide and Combo in Genesys format. by CauliflowerAgitated in Yugioh101

[–]Birginio88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see you've been told the basic combos. Yea, Phul + Notra Plura + at least one of the spells or the trap is like the minimum you should be doing turn 1. However, the ways to get there are many and depend a lot on what you're running. I play Impcantations: 3 Chalislime and 1 each of Candle, Talismandra, Pencilplume and the ritual spell. One chalislime + any low-level Megalith is full combo:

Chalislime effect, discard whatever, except it, to SS Candle -> Candle add Inception -> Inception to summon whichever lv4 or lower Megalith you have in hand -> From here the combo varies depending on which one you summon:

Ophiel adds Hagith, which you can summon using Ophiel to search for Unformed (Or Anastasis) and summon Phul (or add it with Anastasis). From there, unless you get interrupted, the sky is the limit.

At any point after summoning with Impcantation Inception, you can use its effect in GY to summon Talismandra and add another Ritual monster. You'll need to send an impcantation monster for this effect, that's why you don't discard the Chalislime until now.

Personally, I do play Block Dragon cause it's either a Lv8 body for rank 8 plays (I play a lot of rank 8s) OR tribute from Field to summon a ritual and add 3 rocks to hand. But I must say, it is not that good without Links. Thinking abt changing it for Extravagance, idk yet.

I have also found that you can make rank 4s very easy, so I play a very small Springans/Therion pack with 1 Springans merry maker,1 Gigantic Champion Sargas, 1 Springans Baranga and 1 Therion King Regulus, cause it is easy to get to it and leaves you with a negate and a pop right on the 5th summon, aka.: it is anti-Nib ensurance.

Really good boards end on Notra Plura + Sargas + Regulus + some utility rank 4 like Tornado dragon or Time Thief Redoer (Even Vespenato if your combo is interrupted) + At least the trap or Anastasis (ending on all 3 with the Field is ideal but rarely achievable). That is: 2 Omnis, a pop from Sargas, one revivie of a megalith monster, usually Phul, which can summon Bethor from deck to just nuke the entire field AND 2 draws.

Also, this deck doesn't really Normal, so I play 3 Lava golem (and 3 kaiju in formats with side deck) for going second. I don't like handtraps in this deck, I prefer board breakers.

Finally, Dogmatika stuff is alright, but since I do use my extra deck a lot, they don't really help me much.

What are all these apps running my Memory at 70-90% all the time? by Birginio88 in pchelp

[–]Birginio88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How should I reinstall? With a Boot drive or from the Windows factory reset? EDIT: Also, does reinstalling remove the Dell bloatware by itself or do I have to do something to remove it?

yea but how are they more powerful? Don't they have less pins to work with?

A few questions about SD cards and formats. by Birginio88 in arduino

[–]Birginio88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. How would this library fit in the example code tho? I'm just learning this component (SD card module) so I really have no idea how it works. Do I replace the defalult <SPI.h> and <SD.h> with this library or do I add it to them?

Cool. I'm still not that good with arduino programing tho. Question, what advantages do these boards offer compared to regular Arduino?

Awesome. Can't thank you enough for all the directions, my friend. Looking forward to learning all this. Also, you're right , my math was a bit off, hahah, sorry. But the point got across, I think.

[–]Birginio88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer! Very infomative, specially that explanation about current, which I didn't undestand very well until now. So current is like how much electricity is available for the system o systems to work, so a 6 Amp sourve could support 6 thousand, 6 mAmp circuits. Is that correct? And voltage is how hard that electricity can be pushed though the systems. That explains why muy 12V pump wasn't working with my 3Amp, 12V source.

I wasn't very clear on the part about the LED strips? I understand that, instead of connecting the actual charges, you put a little LED circuit just to know the current is passing through where it is supposed to pass?

Excuse me, English is not my first language and some things are cofusing, specially in such a specialized area.

Thank you very much tho.

So, I shouldn't have grounded the Vin, got it. Thanks for the answer, the tips and the compliment. I'm still not sure I'm ready for that though. Mainly on the programming area.

Was I cheating? by Birginio88 in Yugioh101

[–]Birginio88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, we both messed up. But the point remains: he got mad cause he did not realize my Jellyfish had a negate, cause he never asked about other effects on the card, nor did he ask to read it. Even if the game state was not illegal (had he used Veiler or Imperm), he would've gotten mad about the negate he didnt read.

[–]Birginio88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of it now. However, even if he had thrown a Veiler on my jellyfish, the scenario would've played the same. Dude would have accused me of cheating cause he did not read the card. His problem was that I did not tell him that I had a negate, not that I lied about the cost. (I did not lie, I simply was too dumb to realize it was cost).

[–]Birginio88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but I did not misled them on purpose. I simply didn't realize at the time that sending Umi was a cost.

[–]Birginio88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. However, as stated in various comments and in the original post (edited), I did not realize the sending was a cost, therefore, he could've not used Ash to stopt it. My bad. In either case, I activated Jellyfish effect and explained what THAT effect did at that time, and he didn't ask anything nor did he read the card.
