I've zapped running components a few times so hard that I yelped from the hurt. I think the sort of static shocks the ESD bags are meant to protect against would be way more powerful than the amount of charge you would collect rubbing your feet on the carpet

I prefer to see us more like green berets, hardened by years of pwnage experience, camoflauged against the backdrop and lying in wait for some poor noob to wander into the subforum, oblivious to the thunderous cocknado of tech knowledge about to thump them into submission! The people from the...

yep 8GB can handle a lot of shit. me currently link. running two eve clients (1GB each), a VM and chrome with a dozen tabs open

I posted a small novel here about the benefits of NB tweaking for AM3+ socket, it's pretty much necessary to do that if you want to unlock the potential out of your RAM. RAM is a quirky thing so if you mix two different types of modules one of them could fail to run even if the specs match, at...

yeah the IHS mod can shave a few degrees off max temps but if you're idling at 100 deg then there's likely some bigger issue

*FWIW I've removed IHS, sanded chip, etc, it's super simple stuff just gotta set it up right and have a little confidence

media's doing a coordinated freak about it now because of that video with the jihadist guy. crazy to see the post and star in total agreement. exactly. history is full of examples where broad, loosely-restricted powers given to ordinary fucks under the promise of fighting a foreign enemy...

this is one of the chips that suffers from an issue with shitty thermal interface between the IHS and die, might have to pop off the IHS and apply some more paste to solve this

we're basically following the same road the U.S. has gone down, where torture and unlawful detention becomes commonplace. this is the sort of bill that will provide no measurable benefit to the country and there is precedent to believe it will in fact fuck the country up infinitely worse. this...

Conrad Black takes to the Post to warn us on this shit, you just know Harper is already building the black prisons via the same upper-middle-class contractors that voted him into power...

shit is really getting out of hand...

oh look Valve tightens the noose again http://torrentfreak.com/steam-censors-kickass-mentions-chat-client-150214/ how long you reckon it will be before Gabe asks for your firstborn so you can still access your game library?

^ that sounds cool, did they have any issues with zoning regulations? if you're really out in the middle of nowhere then comfy off-grid living can be pretty easy, just need to throw up a cabin and outhouse, wire them shits up to a few hundred watts of PV feeding a battery so you get a few hours...

Ughhh.. fine. let's talk PV. I'm looking at a local municipal budget for 2014 that says the town's latest PV project breaks even in just under six years. The MicroFIT contract lasts 20 years, so if the PV panels also last 20 years that works out to twelve years of profit in total. It sounds...

:dafuq: how did this thread get so OT? As far as the energy debate goes: we don't get enough sunlight hours to make PV worthwhile and wind power is only great until you remember that moving parts mean eventual maintenance. Even if we totally ignore RoI, the raw energy and materials required to...

So maybe you noticed the BoC rate cut against the backdrop of the gov't failing to post a budget. Or the slide of oil into oblivion, or the cooling down of the housing market that started in December. I guess I'm not much of an economist but it kind of looks like we're fucked when you expect...

teehee ;) It's not particularly surprising because I bought a phone that is meant for the Chinese market and I only bought it because it happened to be an international phone that works on mobile networks here. What concerns me is that I know this specific SoC is also used in Lenovo phones...

cheers guys, good idea about reddit, maybe if it's posted there can get an idea as to how many devices this program is on. i haven't posted to reddit before, is there a specific subreddit this should go in?

yeh it's lazy coding at best, sadly some people don't even bother to think about what can be exploited

so I got this Android phone not long ago, some off-brand Chinese job. One of the first things I did was cull the Google shit and bad widgets. the phone didn't come with any bloatware except Facecrook and Twatter apps, not weird QQ shit like expected. Later on I get an app called Network Log...
