I plan to buy the Samsung S7, Sim free and just put my old sim inside it, never owned samsung phone but are this phone looks good and I've heard some good views but few mixed views on here. I can't trust myself with the edge because of dropping it or accidental touching etc. I want a good camera, good storage and good overall usage. Any cons I should know about?

I'm trying to login to Persona but it gets stuck on "invoking..." for a few minutes then says "network error".
How to fix? Did Persona just puke itself and it'll be fine later?
I'm planning on buying a 4k monitor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160278).
My graphics card (280x) doesn't seem to have a DisplayPort input, so my question is, can I use a DP - hdmi adapter for 4k 60hz viewing? Or would I need a double-ended DP cable for that?
My PSU is 800w and could easily handle 2 graphics cards.
It has 4 6-pin sockets but it came with just 2 cables.
Would it be fine leeching off the 4 pin molex rail if I get an adapter?
Any good UWP Win10 chan browsers to recommend?
>>55255616
price I guess? xiaomi redmi note 3 is $170 for 5.5"
or redmi 3 pro is $150 for 5"
both with larger batteries, but of course no oled or some other shit, but good overall
>>55255721
I've stacked quite a few adapters on top of each other. Should be fine as long as both cards are less than 800W, and that 800W is not a max output (rather than a typical output).
>>55255665
why not use dvi or hdmi? 60hz at 4k should be no problem for that or it can only do 30hz?
>>55255729
Personally, I want to buy a camera. But I'd rather have a phone with a good camera as a placeholder in the mean time. Xiaomi sounds good but I don't know about the camera + I'm unsure of the safety of these phones. Last time I got shilled a shitty phone (currently using) by my phone company so I worry about going for cheaper.
How do I know if a motherboard requires additional power from a v12 connector cant find the motherboard user manual online unfortunatley.
Im going to put on it a 55w cpu, one bank of ram, one dvd drive, 3 sata HDD, and three 80mm fans
If I take any PCI-E wifi card, will it run on Linux?
Or does it have to be made by a certain manufacturer?
Does the distro of choice play a factor in this as well?
7.1 is overkill? Should I buy only 5.1 receiver?
what is a nice motherboard to buy for an i5 6600K
>>55256001
>Post your simple/small/stupid questions here
>take at least 10 seconds to google first
google "[Name of card] Linux"
>>55256030
Maybe prioritize other stuff like network connectivity, native audio format playback (e.g. flac, dts-hd ma, dolby trueHD etc), HDMI throughput etc. If only the 7.1 system has it, then go for it
>>55255743
I tried it before on a different PSU.
I split 2 6-pin cables 6 ways. It booted to windows the immediately shut down. No surprise.
This is my current psu. It's a waste to not utilise the spare ports, but I cannot find any plugs that fit.
I might have to make one myself
Lately my PC has been freezing at times and having many programs become unresponsive.
After rebooting today some of my programs are unable to read config and reverted to their default state, one example in pic related.
When it is freezing and I have process explorer open, there is no spike in CPU usage or anything and I've thoroughly cleaned the PC so it shouldn't be a cryptolocker or anything, again who knows.
Notable things lately:
Clicking inside of pc case
Install of realtek audio drivers

Man I want a smartphone so I can play a few games and apps with my wi-fi, but I don't want any plans or bullshit like that.

moto /g/ 3 2gb edition
>>55256129
Ahh I see. I reckon it'd be better to grab some cheap cables and use them than split the ones already there and risk overloading the dedicated ports. Or you could make some
>>55256202
Shit, seriously? I've got big hands and don't need to use one as an actual phone, so a Tablet would probably be preferable.
I still don't know where to start in terms of which brands and models are good. Getting one of those water-proof ones would be cool but I bet those are never cheap.

I have an old iphone with a lot of information on it from around 8 years ago, it wouldnt turn on for that amount of time and last night it happened to make it to the lock screen.
Well I can't remember the password for it, ive tried and failed a few times.
Is there anyway I can bypass that without restoring the phone, or is there some way to retrieve all of my info from it even while its still locked and not through itunes?

hdmi 2.0 works with 60hz, hdmi 1.4 only at 30hz.
>>55256337
Does hdmi 2.0 refer to the input or the cable? If it's the input, how can I check what version it is?
>>55256323
did you by chance download the source instead of the binary?
>>55256356
the graphics card, the cable and the monitor need to support this.
check the specs of each or their product page.

>>55256417
Do you have RDP on? You could try to remotely connect to your PC. Or, if your mobo has PS/2 ports, you could plug a keyboard/mouse into them.

Get a cheaper mobo, cut to a single 8GB stick, swap the ssd for an Samsung 850 EVO, wait with buying a gpu for AMD RX480 end of June, get a cheaper case like the Fractal Design R5 and get a 500W PSU
you can easily make a <$700 build that runs smooth as butter and plays max/1080p/60fps

Lately, I've been interested in learning Vim. People say it takes much time to get into it but the payoff is substantial.
However, my question is: what do I do with it? My "main" language is C# but I'll probably start relearning C++ after I finish my exams. For both of those I have Visual Studio which is objectively a great IDE. Is it worth to invest time in learning Vim if I won't have much use for it? Isn't continuous practice/usage necessary to actually learn Vim?
>>55255595

why didn't I think of that before!

stupid question: can you have an object as an attribute for a class in C++?
If so, how do I initialize it? I did so, but whenever I call the "new" operator the compiler says it cannot find the constructor ( it is defined).
>>55256664
thank you, it's hard doing this
>>55255656
pls respond my staff can't moderate the website.
>>55256699
You want an instance of the class as a field of another class? Yes, you can do that.
Anyway post code.
>>55256769
My block class:class Block
{
public:
Block(int x, int y , int z, int cubesize);
Block(int x, int y , int z);
virtual ~Block();
int pos_x, pos_y, pos_z;
int cubesize;
bool alive;
void draw();
protected:
private:
int points[8];
};
My level class, which has blocks in it:class Level
{
public:
Level();
virtual ~Level();
Block blocks[50][50];
void draw();
protected:
private:
};Level::Level()
{
//ctor
int i,j;
for (i = 0; i< 50; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j< 50; j++)
{
this->blocks[i][j] = new Block(i, 0, j);
}
}
}
Compiler says "no matching function to call Block::Block.
I ticked the "skip network list on startup" box in hexchat.
How do i disable this?
>>55256699
yes. It would be likeClass MyObject {
...
};Class RandomClass {
private :
MyObject nameOfObject;
....
};
Then you can use this attribute normally. If you want to initialize it, you can do it on the constructor or later in a method.
If you use a pointer on an object it would be the same thing.
>>55256863
do you have the constructor of Block implemented? As in Block::Block with its parameters.
>>55256863
> Block blocks[50][50];
You want pointers, not the objects if you gonna use new.Block * blocks[50][50];
And compiler is uhappy because you dont have Block constuctor with no parameters which will be called by Block blocks[50][50];
So, I have this weird problem - I added 2 new hard drives to my PC and one of them showed a "drive signature collision" in Device Manager. I formatted the one accesible drive to exFAT, shut down, unplugged it and booted again, formatted the other drive to exFAT with a different name and drive letter.
Now my PC won't boot whenever either or both drives are installed (works fine w/o them). Doesn't even get to the BIOS. Dafuq?
>>55256863
Make sure you got a constructor that match Block(int, int, int)
How do I do registry cleaning safely? Are there guides?
>>55256890
>>55256894
Thanks for the answers.
>>55256905
Your suggestion worked. Thanks.
Is there a more elegant way to do the same thing? Without using pointers?
A friend of mine told me the whole point of C++ is reducing the use of pointers as much as possible.
>>55256664
Thanks for the help earlier buddy!! I really appreciate it
How does it look now? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/H3DZ8K
Where do you go to for linux warez?
im running apache2,
when i go to a localhost/wheneverwithphp,
It downloads the php instead of executing it.
Wat do
>>55257016
did you install and set up php?
did you set up apache to run .php files through php?
>>55256972
Use std::vector. Or if you not planning to change amount of blocks make default constuctor for Block, create them with Block blocks[50][50]; as it was before (you dont need to use new in this case), then add initializtaion function to Block and initialize blocks parameters inside level constructor.
>>55257037
>did you install and set up php?
yes,
>did you set up apache to run .php files through php?
i think so, how do i do this?

Looking to buy a prebuilt that will last ~20 years. Money isn't that much of an issue but I'd prefer not to be too ripped off. Was looking at:
https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/cart/showcart.aspx?url=%2fsystem%2fGamer_Scorpius_9000&ref=add
for $1550 but honestly I'm barely computer literate. Would this be a solid computer/what changes would you suggest? I have a feeling that it needs more cooling
>>55257068
That's not how it works.
>>55257068
you can't link your shopping cart, it's linked to your session.
you can't make a computer last 20 years either. hardware will fail and be obsolete way before that.
you are better off building one yourself and upgrading single parts every now and then or buying a new computer every few years.
How to reset monitor refresh rate? I oc'd my 60hz monitor to 80hz thinking that it would reset after 15 seconds even if the screen goes out. Well it didn't and now I have 'out of range' popping up on my monitor. Restarting hasn't worked

>A friend of mine told me the whole point of C++ is reducing the use of pointers as much as possible.
That's somehow bullshit. Pointers is life. Not using them is stupid. With them you know what the fuck is going on in your program. But that's just my point of view.

What are some good static pressure fans? I'm using two for my front intake.
I need to make some prints to get approval for building stuff on on my parents' house. They must be done in Autocad. If I use a free alternative, will the difference be enough to tell that they weren't made with actual Autocad?
I'm about to start a mini ITX build...
(I probably won't overclock, btw)
This might be a stupid question, but hence the thread; Can a B150 chipset handle M.2 ssd along with a HDD and would there be a significant difference if I chose a better chipset?
Right now wondering whether to choose GA-B150N Phoenix-WIFI
or GA-Z170N-WIFI
is it worth it to bother installing windows in uefi mode for gpt instead of mbr, or does it not make any difference
>>55257983
autocad is pretty standard. if you can get access to a printer with the right dimensions and print quality, I'm sure any software is fine.
unless of course, you need digital files, in which case you're probably fucked.

I recently updated AMD A4-500 and now I am receiving a message saying that it is not installed, how do I fix this?

>>55258175

How does the scale in Autocad work? If I set a 1:100 scale it would mean that 1cm in the drawing is a meter IRL, and I also figured that every little square in the grid equals 1 unit.

Hey guys, I've got an HD7750 overclocked to 900mhz and 1250mhz memory, I noticed this artifact happen for a split sec while recording with fraps on crysis, I've seen this happen at stock speeds.

your card will die within the next year. if you still have warranty, rma it. otherwise start saving up some money
>>55260014
It's been like this ever since I've had it in 2014, crysis, at least the demo version, is the only game I've ever seen an artifact, I've ran furmark, unigine benchmarks for hours and it's rock solid.

Why do you have a green motherboard in 2016? That's very un-gamer.
>>55255595

>>55260082
in that case you're very lucky. if it's only in one game and furmark doesn't complain, it's most likely stable. crysis is from 2007, it could be for any number of reasons that it artifacts. try other games and see what happens.

I've got 450CAD (ie. ~350USD) to acquire a new monitor to replace my 10 year old 16:10, its viewing angles and overall video quality is just too bad compared to even 200USD monitors today.
What's the best thing out there that's relatively easy to get in Canada? I would like visuals good enough for movies and a little editing, 24-27" and hopefully 1440p (or higher(doubt there's something in this price range)). Gaming is not important but would be nice nonetheless.
I've got a few questions to ask.
I'm on a budget (~$300) and I can either upgrade my CPU/mobo or GPU.
Should I upgrade my i5-2400 LGA 1155 to an newer gen i-5 or am I set for some time?
Using my backup Biostar H61MGC but I am going switch to Asrock ZPRO Z75 which has a broken GPU clip. Will this be alright?
As for the GPU, I am looking for suggestions to upgrade from a GTX770.

It's a more slimmed down version of windows that is just an OS, and that's it, no bloaty spying going on, it's got DX11 so games will look great too.
>>55260941
No exFAT for ps3, not sure about vita. If you can live without that or store that shit elsewhere, exFAT is a good option. I forgot all about it.
While opening this to put the processor in, it somehow popped out of place. I think this stupid black cover wasn't giving it enough room to open all the way, and caused it.
Please help /g/, I've tried multiple google searches but can't seem to find this particular problem because the words involved in the search lead me to other topics.
How do I fix a cpu enclosure that has been popped out of place?
>>55261039
Uhhhhhhhhhh what ?
Are you saying the black cover popped out of place ?
Because that's only there to protect the pins until you put a CPU in. It's not supposed to be there, and if you try to keep it in place you're very quickly going to regret your actions.
>>55261068
I think that black cover caused the socket top piece to come out of place
can you look very closely at the hinges?
They aren't on the level like they should be, I dont' know how to slide it back into place
I know that black cover doesn't stay there
>>55261039
That plastic piece comes off it's just there to cover the pins until installation. Take it out
This is the dumbest thing I've read all day but you'll be fine.

I'm trying to create a bootable Windows 7 USB installation media using an .ISO I've used numerous times in the past, but for some reason it just won't work. I've tried more times than I can count now using the following command with dd:
># dd bs=4M if=[windowsisofile] of=/dev/sdx status=progress && sync
But no matter how many times I try, I'm left with a USB drive that just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor when I try to boot into it.
I've confirmed there's nothing wrong with the USB stick itself by successfully creating bootable media of Gahnoo/Linux distros with it.
I've also tried using the GNOME Disk Utility instead of dd to no avail. I'm guessing there's some problem with how the bootloader is being written to the drive, but I can't think what the problem would be or how to even solve it.
Any ideas?
>>55261300
That looks exactly how it's supposed to look.
>>55261300
I'm not seeing the problem other than you didn't put the processor in.

>>55261300
Nothing looks broken to me, everything's all set. Enjoy the CRAAAAAAK sound when you press that motherfucker down on the CPU.
>>55261329
>how the fuck are these things so flimsy
That's the thing: They aren't. You think they are, and so you overreact because of a spooky noise and some sloppiness when it's open.
Here's a spoiler alert for you: Once you clamp it down on a CPU, it's going to sound like you're murdering everything, and it's going to feel like you're crushing the CPU. This is fine, as long as you just place it right.
>>55261305
>But no matter how many times I try, I'm left with a USB drive that just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor when I try to boot into it.
Oh wait. Now that I've installed GNU/Linux on here, it takes me straight to grub if I try to boot into it.
I don't get what the problem could be. It's like for some reason my computer can't tell that there's anything there to boot on the USB.

I'm not sure that the vanilla windows 7 iso can boot on UEFI mode, that might be it
Why the fuck are computer cases so ugly and oversized and stupid looking? I want something mid-tower ATX with no goddamn windows or ugly edgy gaymur styling and room for at least 1 2.5" drive and 4+ 3.5" drives, and I don't want to spend more than like $100 or maybe $125. Bonus points if it's a pretty silent case and if the hard drive bays face outward instead of towards the motherboard. My heatsink is 120mm tall and my graphics card is like 280mm long, by the way.
I currently have pic related, it's served me well for years now but the drive bay layout is pretty annoying and the graphics card blocks access to it, so I can't properly fit all my hard drives in there despite having enough bays. It's also just getting kind of old and ratty and I'm tired of looking at it.
I'm not really a huge fan of any of the suggestions I'm seeing on logicalincrements, but I guess the Antec three hundred two and the Antec P-100 are looking the best out of those choices.

I'm not trying to boot it on UEFI mode. I've booted it successfully in the past on this machine.

It's like I traveled back in time to two years ago. I sincerely hope you're saving up for an unlocked i5 or i7. Things have become so bloated only having two cores while multitasking isn't worth it.
I have bluetooth headphones, and if I enable both the mic and the sound on Windows, it mutes everything.
For example, if I join a Discord chat (Or anything that uses the mic), the sound will mute, but if I change the audio to come out of my desktop speakers, it all works fine.
How do I stop this bullshit
>>55261543
Eh that's more trouble than it's worth. I was just hoping that I could punch in the Windows 7 product key to validate, but if I can't do that, my next best option is to just use MS toolkit.

What do I buy then that is trustworthy?
>>55261676
Definitely either the gma 3000 is fried or the system ram is bad.
>>55261676
Yea I would hope RAM, in which case it'll be memtest86 and switching out sticks until you figure it out.
Could also be the Mobo dying, in which case I'd take the opportunity to buy something newer...
>>55261692
>optiplex 745 is nearing ancient-status
I agree, but this thing still more than an average user needs.
>>55261698
You should lurk the battlestation threads more. Seasonic PSUs, EVGA superflower rebrands, higher tier corsairs.
So long as you don't push it that CX should be okay considering your CPU and GPU.

These Fractal cases are like two inches bigger in every dimension compared to my current Cooler Master. Has the definition of mid-tower gotten bigger or what? Are full towers big enough to sleep in?
I guess that looks pretty good though, I'm liking the layout and I guess a few more inches here and there isn't that big a deal. All these "silent" cases look like high tech minifridges, but I guess that's better than being covered in LEDs and stealthy sharp edges and stuff.
>>55261727
that's not an 'on board gpu'

What can I do about this?
>>55261739
I know, but my optiplex was so cheap to throw together back in 2014 it was amazing
The optiplex was $63, Q6600 cost nothing, 8gb of was was pretty afforable, had an old 1tb barracuda lp laying around, HD7750 was like $111.
>>55261735
it goes like this:
Full atx tower
mid atx tower
mid micro atx tower, shit makes no sense but it exists
and itx shoeboxes
full towers, especially the cube ones like the Corsair Airs, are about the length and height of a coffee table
I got a full tower, I love all the room in it, but mid towers are good enough
>>55261764
>8gb of was

If your state is like mine (ca) then u can check how much each state employee makes. Choose something that pays well with low requirements
>>55261764
are you the guy asking the question? because even if it was cheap, it still doesnt make it not a dedicated gpu...
>>55261759
bulk up and go into contruction or trades, pays more in return for sacrificing hours
>>55261791
No I was talking abut the ancientness of it and how its still usable with cheap upgrades.
>>55261742
>>55261735
btw, mid-tower ATX cases are still not compact, just not mammoth, no matter what you pick.
If you really wanted small, you should have gone with a mATX motherboard and then you'd have options for much smaller cases
>>55261739
>>55261764
I'm not sure you understand. Earlier I asked if you were using onboard video, which is just using the Motherboard's built-in GPU.
To which you said yes.
The images you posting show you having a dedicated card, the HD7750. (Therefore not Onboard)
>>55261809
Oh wait, I'm not the the guy with the onbard gpu failure, sorry I didn't mention, Anon.
>>55261803
you misunderstood me. sure it's usable, but it's also very old and malfunctioning in a way where it's cheaper to just replace the entire computer since it's value is like $30 (due to its age)
>>55261823
Haha, Makes sense now.
Yea I was really hoping everyone here knew the difference between on-board and dedicated.
>>55261828
True, these things pretty much become total losses if the motherboard gets a capacitor failure. I was also gonna suggest the guy with the issue pick up another mini tower for next to nothing.
>>55261854
yeah. if you look around you can get some steals. I got a 2nd gen i5 machine for $150 on CL once, and I know guys selling core 2 quad machines for $30 and 1st gen i5 machines for $50.
EDIT: It was bad ram. one 1GB module and it seems to work

If you don't have a degree, don't be afraid to get back into school. A degree isn't going to guarantee you a job at all, but it could help especially if you seize your time at the uni and make some good connections.
In the short term, if you type fast, you could get into data entry. If you don't know how touch type, take the time to practice and learn. Data Entry isn't going to be a long-term option ultimately, but just fyi only a few people in life actually have their lifelong careers by the time they're in their mid-twenties.
Also, if you have relatives and friends who work in a career field that interest you at all and you think you could do well in, suck off them like a leech. Most people in life get jobs because of family and friends, not because they're these amazing candidates with stellar credentials.

You could even do cheaper if you do even older components, but all these components are stuff within the past couple of years, and it should be really fast for his uses.

try not to talk out of your ass, dipshit
>>55262119
Also, this has USB 3.0 and should still work with all his old peripherals.
If you want to get him a new monitor though, definitely just check thrift stores. Right now I'm using an Acer 900p monitor released in 2009 which I got yesterday for $10. Also the keyboard I got for just $3 from a thrift store. Most of the peripheral components and cables you could need should be available from a thrift store.

Yeah, but his dad isn't going to even need an i3 processor you nitwit. He just needs a core duo or celeron processor with iGPU. Why the fuck is his dad going to need either the i3 or i5 when he could save $100 and get one with the core duo or celeron?
Also faggot, if this idiot can't search for "Dell Optiplex Windows 7" on ebay, then he is beyond helping
>>55262355
Again, why the fuck is this dude's dad going to need a sandy bridge cpu if the max he's going to do is use firefox and word?
Nothing his dad will do will strain the CPU in any way. Youtube will be the biggest test the computer will face. If he wants faster performance for his dad in Firefox, Word, etc. then he will just need to upgrade the ram and maybe upgrade the HDD to a cheap SSD.

This tnh, old fucks really dont need new hardware these days because we've come to a point where a $100 computer can satisfy web browsing needs.

High ping could be because of a shitty USB wifi adapter, but it could also be because of plenty of other things, like bad internet provider, bad router or an overcrowded frquency.
First try plugging your computer directly in your router and check your ping. If it does get better, a PCIe adapter might help you

I was backing up my claim that you couldn't build a pc for less than it would take to buy a prebuild for the same specs.
You might also notice that I mentioned that core 2 quad systems can be had on the used market for $30. Not that it matters, I don't know why you're arguing that his dad "doesn't need a sandy bridge cpu". You were just recommending building a pc (with a godawful celeron) for over $200 (and no legit copy of windows). Are you really gonna try to argue about wasting money here?
>>55262614
why are you so fucking angry
>>55262625
Ah, I see that you finally realize you have no idea what you're talking about. In the future try not to give advice on things you have no experience in.

The definitions of both mid tower and full tower are as flexible as they always have been.
Mid towers range from largeish to a little larger, while full towers range from huge to ridiculously huge.
Pic related: modest, small (relatively) full tower next to a mid tower.

Nice T520 (I think).

Thanks senpai. Yep, that is indeed a T520.
Where do people pirate books from? I want to get some sewing books with detailed information on draping and flat pattern making but what I've come across are academic books that run from $60 to hundreds.
Additionally, what do people use to read books/manga on their PCs and Androids?
Hey guys I would like some help. I bought an H440 and the fan hub has two cables a modex cable and a pwm cable. I know the modex one goes to the PSU and the manual says the PWM one goes to cpu_fan. Do both of these need to be connected at the same time or just one? And why not to sysfan instead to cpu_fan2? I don't really know what i'm doing.

I bought a used tablet with an AMOLED screen. There's burn-in from the demo app. Can I fix it?
>>55263424
Not really
I just realized one of my laptops (old thinkpad) has computrace enabled in bios... Anything I can do about this? Some kind of fix to prevent it phoning home maybe? The laptop is running ubuntu.

Is there a way to make it FEEL like it's fixed?

how can i make mpv as a command in the cmd like chocolatey?
i tried enviromental path's and it only works for the run command
>>55263464
There's an app that will try to compensate for it, not sure how much that will help for your case depending on how extreme it is
You could also stab your eyes out in which case it wouldn't matter

Okay, I think I've figured out what I need to do, but there's one problem - it requires software only available on Windows... which I don't have.
I suddenly remembered that last time I did this (years ago now) I had trouble getting it to work, and that for some reason by using the "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" I was able to create a bootable USB of Windows 7 when no other tools would work.
I tried firing up the program in Wine, but unfortunately it seems that Wine is unable to detect USB drives. I tried googling for "wine usb" but wasn't able to find anything useful.
If anyone knows how I could get this to work, I would greatly appreciate it.
My USB ports aren't working for data.
Well, one is, and it's got my mouse hooked up to it. Everything else though, no matter what I plug in, no matter which port, isn't working.
This is on Windows 10, and they've all worked previously.

What does the device manager say about your USB controllers?
I'm doing a new miniITX build and I want a fresh clean install of Windows 7. Should I bother buying it? I've have a bit of a look around and it looks like it might be less hassle to pirate it.
Any decent places to buy Windows7?
Any decent places to get a legit ISO? The links on the wiki are down.
Is the Daz loader at the top of TPB legit? I remember there being some kind of scare with it a number of years back but I didn't really follow it.
>>55264528
I would say just pirate it
If you want to get a legit key you can try r/microsoftsoftwareswap

Maybe? Only place I'd recommend getting it from is MDL
How can I make openvpn choose the server with the lowest load given a certain pool?
>>55264440
I rebooted and things are fine.
Before I rebooted though, I can tell you that doing a scan for hardware changes in device manager did not happen, and stalled the reboot for a minute or two before I pressed the reset button.
>>55264574
Cheers I'll look into these.
