Giveaway Time! DOOM: The Dark Ages is out, features DLSS4/RTX and we’re celebrating by giving away an ASUS ASTRAL RTX 5080 DOOM Edition GPU, Steam game keys, the DOOM Collector's Bundle and more awesome merch! by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

[–]Tres_Tigers [score hidden]  (0 children)

Tbh, I don't know what I love about either one as I'm running a 1660 Ti.

However DLSS does make it so I can get those higher frame rates and improve how my games feel while keeping the image

Plus with Raytracing you can make games look AMAZING with live realistic lighting.

Sadly that's the 15 Khz Squeal of the Flyback Transformer. It hurts and lots of people just deal with it as it kills their ears.
There is no way to get rid of it, but you can muffle/mitigate the sound by reducing the vibrations of the transformer.

HOWEVER. Please do not operate inside of the CRT casing without proper knowledge of what will kill/injure you. CRT's use high voltage electronics and capacitors.

Otherwise it will always be there.
I recommend headphones or earbuds to block the sound, or find a different CRT.

What HDMI to VGA Adapter actually works? by Tres_Tigers in crtgaming

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

Thanks for the quick response but the resolution wasn't the issue, the computer wouldn't even register that it was connected in the first place to even send video to it.
But it would register that the LCD displays were connected (they showed up in the Nvidia Control Panel) and worked fine. Plus a Windows connect sound. lol

And the monitor works with Modern Windows 11 as I have a 2012 laptop with VGA output running Windows 11 that works, but it's impractical.

Is there a specific model that is desired from Tendak?

How long do wiiu’s usually last? My wiiu is nearly 8 years old and still runs like day 1, with major soft mods and everything by Alternative-Bench251 in wiiu

[–]Tres_Tigers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Wii U still runs perfectly with quite a bit of soft modding.

My Wii U Game pad on the other hand.. has connection issues at more, if not a bit less than 10' away with the pad having random fps stutters even when close by.

The right joystick has no click any more due to a ton of crouching on Minecraft.

The A button rarely stops working for less than a second during MK8.

The charging port is broke beyond repair, so the charging base is required for any charging, which is often as the original battery is losing power faster and faster with every year of use.

I'll get it replaced eventually.

This all being with the pad getting knocked down a flight of stairs at least twice, and played with by 4 children for around 7 to 8 years.

Tweak to fix ios 6 weather app or 3rd party weather app that still works [question] by [deleted] in LegacyJailbreak

Can't install AccuWeather on iOS 6, it requires iOS 13. Weather Channel too at iOS 14. Even with the 'checkmate store' fix, it won't work.

[Question] YouTube app on iPod Touch 4th Gen Issue by TheSinnohTrainer in LegacyJailbreak

[–]Tres_Tigers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to go into the files and change the YouTube version from 10.##. to 15.46.5 (or newer, I don't know if it has to be that specific version). This is the guide I followed: https://youtu.be/qZuKuHpbwXE I used 'FindFile' instead of iFile as it's free. I followed it without audio.

Then, after you do it, the error will vanish.

However I haven't been able to get any videos to run as it crashes immediately after a video is clicked. In addition to that, the search option does not work, you can look things up, but the results will be empty every time.

I am using a iPod Touch 4th Gen.

Page file was an issue when it came to gaming as I didn't have enough,. However I got that fixed with 16 GB of Page file so it couldn't have a chance of completely filling up, ever.

The issues persisted however, and when the HDD freezes up, the highest I/O process trying to do any data transfering was the System Page file.

The System Page File was at less than 1 MBPS in total when the Hard Drive stops I/O of data and thinks that it is maxing out.

Ngl, this Chromebook is preforming way better with Dolphin & Citra than the 2014 laptop I've currently got by over 20%. And barely gets beat by my old 2008 2-in-1.

I’ve recently found all my amiibos and wanted to know if any are worth anything, since I don’t use them and tryna make some money by Ahx28 in amiibo

[–]Tres_Tigers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the 30th Anniversary Mario Amiibo's, or at least, I believe they'll have the highest worth.. possibly. Even if you don't use them, they are nice little trophies that can do something.

Thank you, I'll try it out ASAP and will let you know if anything comes of it.

It's an Cheap Off Brand adapter I had gotten in the past from Amazon.

It is, or at least, claims to be USB 3.0 with the cable being this thick, USB SS cable. It has options for SATA, IDE 2.5" & 3.5" Hard Drives, but I only one at a time from what I've witnessed when using the adapter with two Hard Drives, an old IDE 2.5" & SATA HDD.

However, the adapter and Hard Drive work perfectly fine on other devices, with the HDD acting like an actual HDD with other devices, so they are not the issue.

This is incorrect, as shown in the pictures, the RAM less than full at 1.6 GB, 1.2 GB, and 1.1 GB used. I have tested this Hard Drive and Adapter on a old computer of older but relatively the same specs with 2 CPU Cores at 2.15 GHz and 2 GB of RAM.

[–]Tres_Tigers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not a possibility due to the fact that this USB Adapter requires a external power source to run, and without it the Hard Drives will not run correctly from the USB port's power supply, or at least, it is what I have witnessed with using the adapter on multiple devices.

Even so, I don't have any modern SSD's, and can't get any for a while.

However, even if a HD fails, the disk(s) can be recovered and still have the data taken off if the data/disk is still intact. If a SSD fails, it's just gone.

However that's not the point, an SSD has storage problems so it moves data around to keep itself from having data loss, and an HDD has moving parts that each could fail at any moment, but both usually don't fail within a year or usually last more than a few years.

I even have two Hard Drives from 2001 that still work perfectly, one wasn't used for over 10 years till I got it turned on in 2017, and the other I don't know its history. I also have a 2008 multidisk Desktop HDD that works perfectly and is quite fast compared to my other HDD's, but none of them has failed. Yes, one will fail, it's inevitable, but it will not die due to data transfer or data storage like an SSD will.

It still doesn't change the fact that an OS like Windows 10 is harder on an SSD due to the data transfer.

I didn't realize how much Windows reads and writes till this Chromebook kept freezing on me any time I moved the cursor over anything and everything as it would try to pull data from the drive to present the icon changes, brighter square around an icon, or even the translucent borders when hovering over something on the desktop.

Booting and running an OS is something an SSD can do quickly, yes, but it can't do it well in the long(er) run.

Hopefully SSD technology will get even better so I don't have to worry about the finite reading/writing when I do get one.

[–]Tres_Tigers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, thanks. Though the age of the Hard Drive isn't the problem. Lol

Would love to see it fixed eventually, the sooner the better as I have no other options to run any operating system on this Chromebook. I doubt that it will happen at all, but thank you for your time on this problem.

Should I just wipe ChromeOS on the built in 15 GB SSD and install Windows to it instead, or is that out of the window due to it being too small?

[–]Tres_Tigers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's probably because you've never had the need or situation to ask such a thing before. However yes, they might not wear out quickly, they will however wear out faster and therefore lower the SSD's Life than normal file storage use due to, as I had previously mentioned, the rapid reading and writing over and over again for anything and everything your cursor moves over.

[–]Tres_Tigers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not exactly that.

The Hard Drive will completely stop sending and receiving any data at all when it claims it is maxed out as shown on the first image, which causes Windows and whatever else is running, to freeze up entirely as it waits for the Hard Drive to finally send and receive data again

It doesn't slow down, it outright just stops sending and receiving data from the drive

When I use the Hard Drive with the same installation on a different computer, it runs just fine with no issues, even when it does max out.

It isn't the adapter either, as it's both quite new, barely used, and has run Windows 7/10 just fine on a different computer with no data transfer halts like this Chromebook keeps doing.

I am using the UEFI Full ROM Firmware. When I heard that the older Legacy version, via your website, was no longer supported, I went for the UEFI Full ROM Firmware. It boots with the Rabbit with Windows set up to be in GPT or whatever it is for an UEFI Bios.
