Is it just a composite video connection or is there more to it than that?[/QUOTE]
There's a tiny 4 pin cable coming out of it, they're just 5v+,ground,composite signal and the LED
I spent ages trying to solder new wires onto the old connector, gave up, cut the wires up and just soldered straight onto them
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;44523848]Agreed. If there was a standard for embedded video, there would be so much more opportunity for neat hacks with various devices. What about LVDS? It's got a teeny tiny connector that's just about perfect for tiny video. Why wasn't this picked up?[/QUOTE]
Is LVDS considered a standard? I always thought it was just a type of signal and different manufacturers did different things.
[QUOTE=fishyfish777;44524244]Is LVDS considered a standard? I always thought it was just a type of signal and different manufacturers did different things.[/QUOTE]
it is a kind of signal but for the most part recent devices have a standard sort of small ribbon connector. IIRC, Raspberry Pis have LVDS connectors, but they're not accessable with the GPU drivers.

That's a LVDS cable.
Uhm I need my memory cleared up a bit here.
I know low-level formats are safer to the drive, and I believe I read somewhere doing so sometimes can fix bad sectors on the drive, if any? Or am I just calling bullshit here? I think I've read it but it could be not.
Right now I'm in the process of wiping the XP machine, and considering that drive has been pretty hammered in its life I'm running a low level format through Windows Explorer.

It does not. The most that can happen is the hard drive detecting a bad sector, and relocate it so that sector is no longer readable/writeable.

As Binary said, it doesn't fix it, just makes sure it finds bad ones and reallocates. A Full format or a zeroing should do it I think.
On heartbleed, should I be changing all my password like yesterday

The tiny paranoid person inside me tells me to change the passwords after most sites have changed to a secure version of OpenSSL and have revoked most certs.
Can't hurt to change passwords. I'd rather have the bother of changing the passwords, than loose access to a service that has my personal info or other potential important stuff on it.

Yeah, I was confusing it with that, thanks.
Right now its installing Windows 7, for the love of God I don't hope I'm gonna have to fight with drivers, its a Intel Core Duo E6320 system with DDR2 RAM, so fingers crossed.

And this thing is full of nicotine, when its running it spreads nicotine smell all over the room. Couldn't even get the muck that was caked to the CPU fan blown off properly using our air compressor.
Rest in peace XP, I'll never forget the time SP3 came out and crippled all 3 AMD computers in the house until MS hotfixed it
Made my IRC bot generate a random 12-character string on start-up, that acts as a remote kill-switch.
Oddly satisfying for some reason.

I find it strange that putting heads on Ethernet cables is also mildly satisfying.

Trying to come up with something useful I could add to this setup:

IRC bot written in python makes me shed a tear. RIP Horus bot. one day I will revive you.
finally made a partition for linux, debian wheezy is pretty cool.
i prefer windows cause i grew up with it, but linux is a good change of pace.

WHY IS FTL LAGGY AGH ABORT MISSION BACK TO WINDOWS 7
Tidied under my bed (basically my only storage space), I found 3 PSUs and an old eMachines P4 computer.
so earlier i reinstalled windows and had to reinstall drivers. figured id play some n64 on a emu for a bit and when i went to launch a game. i get a bsod. couldnt read the error but if anyone has ideas that'd be great.
also why do games lag on linux, it isnt wubi

the way i see it, the vulnerability's been in openssl for 2 years, if someones compromised me, they more than likely would have already done it
i'm not bothering changing my passwords

Check your bsod dump with WinDBG or bluescreenviewer to see what caused it, most probleary it was the graphicsdrivers.
Also, with the gamelag on Linux, its impossible to know without knowing your specs or what game you were playing.
