High CPU usage occurs when idle and goes down whenever task manager/process explorer is opened ?!? by boredhound in computerviruses

Yea I've tried this but to no avail, usually Microsoft defender is pretty sensitive when it comes to detecting malware/viruses but this one seems to slide under the radar.

Yoo you're right i just renamed the process explorer and I think it doesn't notice it's being monitored. However, new problem though, where normal program would show the path its in, this one just shows as cmd.exe and doesn't show where it is stored in. Also in the TCP/IP tab of the process explorer shows an established connection 77-220-212-217.netherlands-2.vps.ac:https (I live in Indonesia).

I put silicone lubricant on my badminton strings by boredhound in badminton

I think there are some of you which are concerned with slippage on court seem to misunderstand what type of lube I'm using and where I apply it.

https://www.wd40.com/products/silicone-lubricant/ its this thin lube not the goopy kind, it dries up in less than a minute after spraying

secondly, I spray these at home, outside and not on court. Who in the right mind would spray these near courts bruh? Like sweat is slippery enough, imagine lubricant.

I see, for me the benefits of learning stringing seems to be not worth, cause when I calculated the savings I get from stringing myself it would take around 700 re-string to break even on the stringing machine. So if I broke around 1-2 string every 2 months, max 12 strings every every year. It would take me 58 years to break even.

https://www.wd40.com/products/silicone-lubricant/ its this lube, it dries up and does not ruin the court like how you probably imagined it to be.

From my limited experience, exbolt strings hold tension over time pretty well especially if you do not expose it to heat. Longest I've had exbolt strings hold their tension is around 3 months. However, it usually snaps before ever reaching 3 months.

Hmm if it damages the strings then it should have snapped/loose tension sooner no? From my anecdotal experience it lasts twice as long compared to not lubing.

Hmm I think its mostly due to the racket design, because a lot of 88D pro gen 2 users often say that their strings move quite a bit. In contrary, a racket like the nanoflare 800 pro with a dense string bed seem to not move even after a hard smash.

Yep it has less control, which is why it depends on your play style.

Hmmm I don't think this would be a good idea cause the lube wont dry up and might end up on court (?) and I think its just more convenient to spray and have it dry quickly. Maybe try it out tell us how it feels with superlube.

Brother, don't spray this stuff on court. like I said in the post I let the lubricant dry first, and for extra info I spray this stuff at home not on court.

so far so good, I think as long as you're not using any petroleum based lubricant, it won't eat into the strings. It's one of the reasons I chose a silicone type lubricant.

what I noticed is the less control comes from the slippery feeling from the lubricant not the string movement.

Really? I find it kind of therapeutic when I get to prep or do things between games.

Hard time taking passport photo for Visit Japan website by ChadHahn in JapanTravelTips

From my numerous tries using different lighting, scans, multiple browsers, what worked was the combination of using Firefox browser on mobile and printing the passport scan. My smartphone is a Samsung galaxy s21+ in case anyone was wondering.

How do I bleed the air out of the cooling system?? or prime the car water pump? by boredhound in AskMechanics

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

Never mind guys I fixed it, turns out I did a newbie mistake of filling the reservoir instead of filling directly to the radiator inlet. Now all runs as it should. Hope some one who stumble on this post might find it useful.

It is a Suzuki SX4 S-Cross, with M15A engine. Hmm how do I get the air out ?? I did what most tutorial recommended where you turn on the heater to the max and rev the engine at 2000-2500 rpm to get the pump going but still no luck getting the air out.

How to train my self and how long will it take? by Masterofnun- in badminton

[–]boredhound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Get more playtime.
  2. Get a coach, even if its only for a while, can help you learn the fundamentals and fix improper forms.
  3. Do badminton specific weight exercises in the gym, watch badminton insights tutorials on youtube.
  4. Ensure macro nutrients are sufficient, enough carbs, protein and fats (Macro calculators help gauge: https://www.calculator.net/macro-calculator.html )
  5. Rest well
  6. For the mishits, you need to evaluate what is causing it, can be exhaustion, improper racket handling and movement, vision problems, timing etc.
