> The time field is for letting an input source (typically a hardware device) say, "Hi, um, the mouse left button went down at 9:30 this morning. Yes, I know it's already 10am. The PCI bus got a flat tire, and then the spare was also flat, and really there's no point going into the details. Sorry this message arrived late." The window manager (and anybody else who bothers to check the time member of the MSG structure) uses this information to do things like detect double-clicks.
> If the input source later reports, "Hi, um, the mouse left button went up at 9:30:00.100 this morning, sorry for the late report," the window manager says, "Well, that was only 100 milliseconds after the button went down thirty minutes ago, so I guess that's a double-click after all. Could you try to be a bit more prompt with this information in the future?" (Sarcasm added.)
@Ramhound it seems rather odd to me that a "cheat engine" can scan other programs memory but a AV program cannot? I am not sure i believe the whole of what he is saying. Could be by "blinded" he would mean "protected" and even that is a bit odd to me when without "accesses" to things and things functioning on other things etc, what good are they?
Trying to drive a car with the steering wheel locked , has never been a wise things to do, therefore even the more advanced security for a car, is not effective if they just jerk you out of the car with the key still in :-)
@Psycogeek - All I know is that Microsoft for about 4 months threaten to take away the ability to run a process in kernel mode ( what most av run as ) with Windows 8. AV companies then threaten court cases, Microsoft backed off, AVs continued to write bad code. Windows Defender isn't ran different then Norton though.
Microsoft wanted to though. For obvious reasons AV companies hacked together a solution. Microsoft can just write code, in the kernel itself, to support their own solution. They actually did they just allow anyone to use said injection.
hence the reason Av software is half as bad as it used to be/
I assume that windows might work with a few av companies to allow them to do thier job even if everything else is psudo protected. Not like needing to use an exploit. Seemingly even with the defender stuff they have encouraged the use of AV programs.
I doubt also that defender is YET the be all do all virus and malware catcher anyways, i would trust it to protect microsoft, but not all malware and viruses.
Weird thought for the day: If marajuana becomes fully legal for recreational use, will the FTC and FDA ask "herb" products to redefine themselves. Garlic and Herb things , Herb Teas, would all take on new meaning.
(of course Herb Brownies wont have any initial problems with definition)
If nothing helps to repair the search then its possible to just install the well know "Windows Classic Shell".
But i still hope Microsoft will fix this issues with the start menu.
he was just the distraction, while 53 TOW missiles were being imported in the RV that went through, while they were facinated by the guy with the turtles in his pants.
dija ever see that in your country (happens here) one drunk with a knife yelling things in the street, takes 45 cops off of patrol to deal with the sitation eventually filling him with enough lead he just drops from the weight. While on the other side of town 2 banks are robbed.
(luckily most criminals are not that smart)
And of course the news crews have to show up too. A drunk with a knife , only news on youtube, but 45 cops showing up, that is news.
@Psycogeek they should of just brought out a tranquilliser gun and dosed him full of ketamine. I don't understandhow taking a life is first resort rather than last. They could caged him in, and wait for him to chill out
they would only do that with a dangerous animal :-) gee i really do not know why they never thought of tranqs , even if it took some time to take effect (they do) these stupidity standoffs are long enough.
Tasers they got covered, i think it is even standard issue, because on policemans defence was, he had thought that he had pulled his tazer, the lightweight plastic thing, not his gun the heavy metal thing.
I've got a fan in a laptop that occasionally makes some loud airplane-like noises. It mostly happens about 10 seconds after booting up and lasts for 10-20 seconds.
It also occasionally happens when the computer is running, but very rarely. Interestingly, it does not seem to happen when the pro...
the real question is how do you get TO the location to lubricate.
Many of these fans have no way to get at the critical places, like a 1 Ball, you cant get to the sleeve which is usually not only The problem, but is so toasted by the time you hear it squealing.
And tiny fans are the worst for longevity.
real 2ball fans will outlive a sleeve bearing fan by 2-3 times.
But some 2 balls i have bought have no balls, just a shaft :-)
I have one set of fans that (couldn't be cooler) the blades pop off , assumption is for cleaning, but it allows for maintance. Those i can keep alive.
I have tried silicon sprays to try to get Into where the needed lube is, that is a total waste, it gets everywhere but where it is needed.
Some special fans have cool names that sound good, but all it is inside is "rifeling" on the shaft that is somehow supped to encourage the flow of lubrications. Completely useless, as a 600-2000 spinning shaft with lubrication rifeling would make a pump that could move 3 tablesspoon an hour. Yet the most possible lubrication they will have is 1/8th a tea on a piece of felt.
Fans that had lubrication points under the label on the back, that was cool, but i do not think most of them are made that way any more.
This all still leaves, If you waited until it was making noises, might as well throw it out. lubricating it at that point will quiet it for a while, but it is still so messed up it will be making noise again in a month.
700$-2400$ computers and have you ever seen one that had anything but a $2 fan in it :-)
@JourneymanGeek Problem: need to shrink heatshrink. Solution: get a heat gun (or butane torch...). New problem: want to find other uses for said torch. Solution: ???
I have a group policy to map a network drive. Now I changed the network location for that mapped drive in the policy yesterday. However, the mapped drive on my machine still points to the old location. wtf?
The policy is set to replace, which should mean that the mapping is overwritten when the policy is applied
"Apply once" is also not checked
@NateKerkhofs It appears the solution is 0xC18D00E9
I'm keeping this whole Windows 1511 update until I'm back from holiday and have taken care of unemployment stuff. I'll probably have to uninstall the smartcard software for the card readers I have to use for my bank and unemployment
or I'll uninstall all that jazz today and try the 1511 update again tomorrow, after I'm back
Is there a way to show more information in the device manager beyond just a basic name of the device? It's hard to find what drivers I should uninstall
@R.Doto yeah, it's a cartoon about a literal piece of shit that lives in the rectum of a farmyard animal from a caricature of a Welsh farmer (aka someone who loves his sheep a bit too much).
I just spent 30 minutes clean installing my drivers to hopefully fix a texture corruption issue. I swear to %Deity, if my game textures look like a sieve one more time,...
just as a forewarning, the specific issue you're referring to sounds a lot like a hardware damage problem I had with an Nvidia G90 chip a long time ago. I happened to be renting out a room in the house of a coworker who was an experienced computer engineer, and he used a magnifying glass to inspect the board for hardware damage
It turns out one of those little hard metal nubs (a solder point or a capacitor, can't remember) had been damaged while I was messing around inside my computer (installing an HDD or something), and it caused a certain area of the GPU to malfunction in weird scenarios
like, certain games would trigger full-screen random pink artifact corruption, and cause a BSOD, while other games were fine
Well this is dumb. I thought I uninstalled my livecam driver when I removed it through device manager. Turns out, the driver was still present in add/remove programs
@allquixotic That sounds delightful... Would give me a reason to upgrade my 770 to a 980 Ti if it indeed turns out a hardware issue
@NateKerkhofs static noise in what? Ears ringing, headphones, smartphone, TV, built in speakers, home theatre audio system? There is this thing called "Theory of Mind" .. do you comprehend it?
@R.Doto Because Android popups are different from other popups. If you have an adblocker on your computer, most popups are blocked, but android doesn't have an adblocker
something silly maybe, but does Displayport transmit sound?
@allquixotic yeah, that's what I meant man. I use 'Block this!', it's just it's an automatically configured proxy server so it's hassle free (appies a black list also). I fear about the privacy concerns of it, however. I just use it when I'm on putlocker hehe
@tereško Look, I got a ton of bookmarks on my Desktop Chrome, along with my google account. Can Firefox automatically sync bookmarks between the desktop version of chrome and the mobile version of firefox via internet?
I hate how everything is integrated on modern phones now, though. All photos/files are auto synced unless you disable it. It's just a security flaw imo
I already harvested half a dozen butch scorpion T peppers from the plants in the kitchen. I would love to add more taste, but my in-door growing space is quite limited
