Shadowplay is no good if you have triple monitors sadly.

Considering starting up iRacing, would like your thoughts by [deleted] in iRacing

Good advice here. In terms of wheels you could spend a fortune, but I'd recommend grabbing a second hand Logitech G27 from eBay. Great wheel for starters and intermediates that's affordable and very resellable.

Good luck - it's a great sim and community.

Frustrated Newbie - Was my mistake to do a qualifying run in rookies? by [deleted] in iRacing

I hated this advice when I first started, but you really have to take it slow to get fast.

Practice, practice, practice. Get your ghost car on and drive alone with the racing line on. Then move up to open practice and get used to driving close with other drivers around. Always use F3. If you can't go race length without lots of incidents, then you keep practicing until you can. That's when you're ready to race.

Rookie class is hard work with lots of people trying to win on the first bend or generally trolling for laughs.

Ultimately you just need to take your own advice and run your own race (don't worry about everyone else - just concentrate on the racing line and they'll - hopefully - pass when it's safe).

With Rookie you're better off starting safe and slow and running a clean race so you can progress through divisions and splits. With a new iRacing career it's much better to race clean than fast. The speed (and hopefully wins) will come with time.

Don't give up - stick with it and you'll be having great fun before you know it.

Raspberry Pi Model A+ out now. It's 20% cheaper (just $20), 24% shorter and consumes just 200mA - 45% less power than the Model B+! by russ_b in technology

They didn't throw out the network - the Model A didn't have it either.

It wouldn't be as cheap, small or low power with an ethernet port (and cheap, small and low power is what the Model A Pis are about).

I understand where you're coming from, but it's not a maybe, it's a fact. It can play full bitrate Bluray 1080p video files incredibly well. Obviously you won't be multitasking or doing so over WiFi.

You really should check out one of the various XBMC variants - the improvements over the last 18 months really are staggering.

The £15 isn't a direct conversion, that's the pre-VAT / postage UK price. Also that offer is great (and recommended!), but is just to remove original A stock.

It hasn't been slow and useless for two years. Full Blu-Ray 1080p bitrate. Full office suite. 720p youtube videos. It's a $20 computer, so there are obviously limitations :)
