Hey there. Might I ask a quick Q about Win7 updates? It is stuck at the same update for over an hour now and I would like to know how I can find out if it crashed and what to do then... :-(
if you haven't started the shutdown/reboot process, there is no risk of losing data or breaking the system if you force it to shutdown/reboot. worst case, the update has to restart doing whatever it's doing
the only time you're REALLY not supposed to turn off during an update, is when it's applying updates at the screen where you can't do anything
This was the correct decision = arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/04/… even if Netflix wanted to provide CC for every video they couldn't since some content simply doesn't have it.
@Ramhound a psudo tomagatchie (small pocket pet with cheap lcd screen and a few buttons to feed and care for digital pet) google.com/… Set up as a game, to make a make-believe SE site, and push buttons simulating user input and moderation.
Samsung uses technology named "Smart stay" on their Android devices (Samsung Galaxy S III):
It waits till you're asleep: the screen maintains a bright display as long as you're looking at it.

@allquixotic I think it continued to work after I closed a window. It is still at #77, but CPU works again (TrustedInstaller.exe occupies again about 50%)
But it still works on that one... Maybe closing firefox helps too...?
Smart stay , does not seem to be very nessisary even for android devices, everything will sleep in close enough due time when the user quits inputting , or that movie you pass out watching ends :-) Which just leaves passing out when in the middle of a video game. Solutions to that are having gone to bed 5 hours ago :-)
Whatever they call that in my android, i turned off, to save general power, as using the camera to watch me, is not conserving power, plus the minor program cpu use.
My last edit was passive aggressive, i had simple forgot those instances, passive aggressive would have been to bold everything and "yell" at everyone.
@Ramhound it looks like a migrate, but is not, belongs here with lappies and desktops, he is only referring back to a known , how it works in android phones.
I have been trying to share windows pc internet to my android tablet( I Ball Slide, Jellybean) over usb, there is an option in "settings" to share internet, but I can't use internet in my device. When I open "Network and Sharing center", screenshot is given below

That's a huge understatement. This is 4x the performance of an SATA SSD.
Write performance as a bit slower than some competing PCIe SSDs, but this is due to the enterprise heritage of the SSD 750 (it's based on the SSD DC P3700).
The one thing that's truly lacking here is the absence of an 800 GB model.
Do you connect it direct to the CPU with 8 PCI lanes to achieve that? The things that are slow for me now, with 4Xraid0 and SSD are "loading" times , games loading times changed some with ssd, but not miraculous. truely the whole array of things that has to happen, de-compress, send to video card texture ram, assemble world, is all going way slower than the SSD can.
De-code de-mux and display waverform a full audio file off media, way slower than the ssd can spew it out.
Copying Stuff, is so easy to be a background task, soo even though that moves much better now, it makes little differance when human can sleep for 8 hours with copy continuing.
Almost always the CPU in single-threaded workloads.
When I bought this laptop, I had selected the Intel Core i7-4800MQ.
The base i7-4700MQ (and variants thereof) is found in a lot of laptops and I wanted something a bit faster—2.4 GHz nominal is too slow for my taste.
The i7-4800MQ, which is 300 MHz faster, was a +$185 option. The next step up was the i7-4900MQ, which adds another 100 MHz and has a fully-enabled 8 MB L3 cache (as opposed to 6 MB), was another $185 on top of that.
SSD fixed photoshop loading by much and much. Program opens quick, but then it used to be slow even with raid , to load all the plug-ins small parts and pieces. I used to even disable the ones i do not use. Same thing with Video editing program. That small file random stuff, that raid0 does not fix at all.
@DragonLord that is a lot of money for the next processor up, I would be contemplating that kind of spending (before spending it) for some time. then forgot about it 5 minutes after having it in hand :-)
got some old free multimeters / ohm meters / voltage generator today
The variable transformed I just cleaned up a bit has a service tag from 75 on the back... the inside has something (looks like '45) scrawled with a signature
in cheap i am having problems with meter leads being very poorly made, replacement, which should have solved the wear and tear, were worse than the old stuff. how something designed only to connect , fails at that one task.
Insulation exposed where the end connections are, bananna plugs that dont stay connected, which is almost impossible. crappy plastic on the probe handles.
@Bob already taken; that's a legitimate site run by eLearnSecurity for learning how to pentest
the community and/or eLearnSecurity uploads websites containing a vulnerability, with a sort of guide or answer key to help people discover the exploit on their own (if they're clever) or at least learn what to look for and memorize the signature of the vulnerability (if the user is less creative)
@allquixotic So... KitKat for the I9505 started in Feb last year. Australia got it in Aug. Lollipop started Feb this year. Any bets for when Aus will get it? :P
btw, I get lag on certain webpages using Chrome Stable on Windows 8.1 in a VM on my work laptop running Windows 7 with 8 GB of RAM and an SSD, so I'm going to try switching to Firefox stable and see how it goes
I haven't used FF much lately except on my phone, where Chrome is completely useless due to the lack of extensions
the VM has 3.8 GB of RAM allocated to it; gotta keep it low to allow the boat anchor security software on the host (and IBM Lotus) to eat their gigs of RAM
and the VM runs on a single virtual core because more causes horrid stuttering of any audio
I notice that the rendering perf is slightly better in the VM when it's multi-core, but that apparently starves either the hypervisor or the host OS of resources to push sound smoothly without dropouts
can't have both responsiveness and high throughput, I guess
you can with something like (native) Linux's awesome scheduler, but VMware is decidedly less well-optimized than the Linux kernel
I got a new power supply/cord for my Asus N550JV-CN191H, after my old one tore. The new one works fine, and the power indicator (Ubuntu 14.04) shows that the battery is charging, except when I play Minecraft, and then the battery is shown to be draining.
Could it be because the output of the new...
