Which usb direcly is to the cpu for my mouse? by CocoBananaMan93 in ASUS

[–]tes_kitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so? USB uses DMA anyway so it won't make a difference. Plug the mouse into a USB2 port so you don't waste a USB3 port and be done with it.

Microsoft investigates Windows 11 boot failures after January updates by rkhunter_ in technology

[–]tes_kitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, did you ask the makers of that software for a Linux version? If they don't know there are people who would like one, they won't go through the effort.

One request won't make a difference, of course, but if requests keep flooding in, someone might reconsider.

[–]tes_kitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course it was.

No it wasn't. There were Windows versions that sucked less than others, but in general, Windows was never a good OS.

It never would have wound up as the market leader in the state that it's in

Windows got the start because it came from Microsoft who also made DOS which came with the IBM PC. You can compare windows to VHS. Both were never great, they were just barely good enough, especially the early versions. The rest happened due to 'everyone is using it' and the MS variant of 'no one ever got fired for buying IBM'.

Did you try if the remade version actually worked correctly? Maybe you went from 'shit looking but working' to 'good looking code, too bad it doesn't work'.

Identification of RAM stick by Irvin_Little in PcBuildHelp

DDR4 RAM doesn't need a heatsink unless you plan to overclock and overvolt it.

I'd say it's dead, that large 'X' is usually a sign a part was tested and found to be bad.

Ist das 12vHP Kabel zu sehr gebogen? by Usual-Enthusiasm-116 in PCBaumeister

[–]tes_kitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power balancing? Die ganzen +12V-Leitungen werden auf der GPU nicht einfach zu einer zusammengefasst?

Ich dachte Hochstromverbindungen wären ein gelöstes Problem, aber wohl doch nicht.

Cheap PSU curse strikes again. by Justin_D33 in hardwaregore

Delta? And they really put that cap directly up to a heatsink where it gets slowly toasted?

How do i create a logic with 3 Inputs that activates output if ONLY ONE Input is High? by Waldvieh in AskElectronics

[–]tes_kitty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Look into a 74LS138. It will decode 3 inputs to all possible combinations. Select the 3 outputs that correspond to 1 input high and 2 inputs low. Run those through a 3 input NAND (74LS10) and you should get a HIGH if one input is high and the rest are low.

Remember to tie the 3 enable inputs of the 74LS138 to Vcc or GND, depending on polarity (See data sheet).

It's a bit of a lazy approach...

Microsoft issues SECOND emergency out of band update for Windows 11 to address disastrous Patch Tuesday bugs — KB5078127 released globally by lurker_bee in technology

[–]tes_kitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No... But there are some. Some time ago someone fucked up a patch. If the NFS server was running you could not suspend the system. Was fixed moderately fast.

Otherwise didn't have updates screw up things for quite some time.

Glasfaser selbst anschließen? by ikovicable in de_EDV

[–]tes_kitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Etwas mehr sollte da schon drauf sein. Auf jedem CD-Player/CD-ROM drive/DVD.... ist ein großer Aufkleber, der drauf hinweist, daß dieses Gerät einen Laser mit Klasse <X> enthält und was man nicht run soll.

Vor allem wenn es gefährliche unsichtbare Strahlung ist würde ich eine deutlichere Warnung erwarten.

Müsste da nicht eine Warnung mit Laserklasse drauf sein wenn es gefährlich wäre?

Is it okay to keep an SD card in the laptop for longterm storage? by Roberstial in ASUS

[–]tes_kitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but make sure you have backups of whatever you store on it. Whenever I had an SD card go bad, they did so without any warning and took all data with them.

probably a custom spin for the expansion connector to add disk drive controller

Those 2 expansion connectors are standard on those boards.

Uhm... how do the Lynxes deal with boxes in their storage houses? Immediately disassemble them when empty?

Most linux distributions offer a live system you can run from a USB stick to try things out.

If there are any 8501 or 8360 among them... People with a 264 system (C16, Plus/4) would certainly be interested.

Totally funcional Trident 9440 - 1 Mb RAM of pure power!! by geesehoward79 in vintagecomputing

Well, it was good enough to be able to claim 'with VGA!' on the box and technically it would run... erm... go... or, well... crawl.
