[QUOTE=Levelog;48133366]Anyone have a script or something to remove/hide avatars here on FP?[/QUOTE]

That only blocks that specific one though. I mean all. Like no more avatars anywhere on FP.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48133389]i have a feeling my avatar is going to get blocked[/QUOTE]
It's just for my work system. I'd rather just not have any weird ass or borderline porn avatars popping up as someone walks by.

Now I just have some asshole that's title says "Weebo Warrior" in big ass letters.
[QUOTE=latin_geek;48130339]The thinkcentres are beautiful, but why would you buy them instead of building a desktop?
I've been wanting to get one of the older, horizontal models (maybe even IBM's) to retrofit with newer parts and make into an HTPC. Do they use custom PSUs?[/QUOTE]
wait, are they easily upgradable? that might be exactly what i'm looking for

I use stylish to make a single uniform style for FP titles to make them very small and discrete, but still readable.
So I have three choices for my replacement 1TB external drive: Transcend 25H3, Sony HD-E1 or WD My Passport Ultra. Any suggestions?

I've replaced the PSU on one of the newer slim ones (An M73 SFF I think) and it's just a standard TFX Power Supply
They're pretty easy to open up and fix shit in too

[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48133748]WD passport[/QUOTE]
That's the cheapest one and it was the one that I used before.
Honestly it served me pretty well and then I had to drop it and it stopped being recognised by my PC.

i'd be worried about the dependability of the other drives
i do have a 3tb my book drive and have for about a year, no problems so far

I think I've had mine for two years and it was working without a hitch but then again as I said I had to be a clumsy retard and drop it 20cm down when it was working.

You can have generic rules in adblock or ublock too.

i really did inadvertantly screw myself out of a pc holy shit
i can't find another good one [B]at all[/B]
i used to like apple a lot because the imac and mac mini were really good deals a little while ago but now? sacrifice power and usability for ~thin~ and ~revolutionary~
Decided to upgrade to Windows 10. All seems pretty good. Except British Cortana. British Cortana can fuck off. She sounds like a robotic twat. I want Jen Taylor dammit, I don't care if that's American :(s

Just be glad you have ANY Cortana at all.
Had no idea Jen Taylor voiced Zoey in Left 4 Dead, neat!
[QUOTE=Bugga12;48134250]Just be glad you have ANY Cortana at all.[/QUOTE]
Genuinely cannot use it with that voice. It just makes you feel like an utter twat.
i have little to no interest in cortana. feels like something that should be on a phone.

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;48131880]I've replaced plenty of digitizers in the past, and the adhesive pads are generally already applied on the backside of the digitizer. I'd suggest you to wait until you get the digitizer first before buying anything else.[/QUOTE]
The replacement digitizers for the G2 don't, which I knew beforehand. Tracking it on DHL's site, the courier can arrive any second now.
you know how so many computer illiterate people think CSI's "Enhance!" is a real thing and we all laugh at them because that couldn't POSSIBLY work

That's going to be of very limited usefulness though because it makes massive assumptions. If someone has a big scar that doesn't show up in a blurry photo, it can't know that.

The rear housing is so getting repainted charcoal black.[/QUOTE]
i think it looks fine as is, and the charcoal wouldn't go with the brown
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48134934]I'm just plasti-dipping it so I can do-over but it will look fine when it's just off black. Completely black paint looks so cheap.[/QUOTE]
you could go black on the front part and light gray in the back?
I'd like to find a shell of an old computer like that, and fill it with modern stuff. I love the aesthetic of old PC's. New ones just fail to capture the same novel feeling.
That image of it sitting on your kitchen counter really gives it a "World Of Tomorrow" vibe in my opinion. Its not too far off either, as a modern laptop would do the same if not more.

fill it with off the shelf parts and hackintosh

I'm curious to see if this tech could be applied to picture upscaling. Has the potential to make DVDs on a HDTV look so much better. If they can, its going to be interesting to see if how it will react with interlaced material and stuff that was shot on videotape that has PAL and NTSC picture artefacts as a result.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;48132487]It should though. Smaller resolution = less pixels to be calculated by the GPU.
What game are you playing?[/QUOTE]
I was playing insurgency and lowered the resolution to 640x480. No difference, although it was on a busy 32-player map. Still at about 15fps when outside.
Frame rates and such depend on how many players, how much smoke and other crap is going on, etc. But in general, I'm able to play at 768p with 25-30fps and still do well.
[QUOTE=garychencool;48131980]You'd think lowering the game display resolution would increase the frame rate right? Well looks like it doesn't always..[/QUOTE]
Well, yeah. Display resolution only affects GPU load, unless the game is for some reason doing some CPU-side rendering. If you're currently CPU-bound, decreasing resolution will do nothing for your framerate.
