Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (SM-T531)

As far as I know the screen isn't laminated and the digitizer is less than 10$ with free 15 day shipping from aliexpress. It will fix the touch navigation buttons but not the physical button if it's broken as well. Might be a neat project Capture.PNG edit: obviously try and first see if you can some...

Re: I tried to switch to linux (i gave up)

I tried to install VSC. I needed to retry 3 times to get it installed. I tried to install IntelliJ IDEA Community, I retried 4 time and it didn't work. For both of them the error was Unable to install x: cannot perform the following tasks: And there's literally nothing after that, not tasks listed o...

Re: Should I switch to Linux?

Installed Ubuntu, already some issues. Fingerprint reader doesn't work and apparently never will. You'd think that wouldn't be the case. Capture.PNG During installation I was asked to set some stupid password for secure boot so I could install some third party drivers. This is normally not a thing i...

I tried to switch to linux (i gave up)

I am considering switching to Linux for my Lenovo Thinkpad L380 and I could use some help to make the switch. I have tried Ubuntu before but most of my experience comes from using Raspberry Pi OS on my PI 4 and Pi Zero 2W both with and without a desktop environment. For the distro of my choice I thi...

Re: MattKC unlisted videos repository?

Every single one of my unlisted videos are available through playlists accessible on the main channel. I made a conscious decision to never remove old videos, and was even hesitant to unlist the ones I did. But I eventually did because I felt if the early LPs were recommended by ~the algorithm~ to ...

Although it is weird seeing a 1060 now being the minimum requirement for games now when not too long ago it and other cards like the 480/580 were actually good and often were t...

Re: TESTING A GLITCH (VERY BAD)

It's not really a glitch, or bad. It's how most forums work. And it's very easy to just disprove.

Re: How Much Should I Spend On A Soldering Kit?

It depends how much you're willing to spend. The one mattkc linked (which isn't in stock at amazon but is available on aliexpress) is actually decent value primarily because it also serves the purpose of a hot air station as well all for 100$. Some of if not the best soldering stations are made by h...

Re: [Request] Status Updates for the forum?

There isn't really anything we could fill such a thing with at the moment. Besides, we already have a "Site Announcements" board. They're not really meant for announcements. Just random stuff that couldn't warrant much discussion or creating new topic. There was a post I've seen earlier o...

Re: Games with shocking system requirements.

That's because of consoles though. They're significantly more powerful than the PS4 and Xbox One. And any multi platform game developer will aim their games at that and as a result similar hardware requirements on PC as well. With direct storage soon there will be games that will require a ssd. I me...

Kind of. But not really. There aren't any limitations placed on them besides the absence of the title.

Re: Is it just me or is populair music nowadays a bit boring?

Time is generally speaking a good filter for bad content in general. Of course most people are going to prefer older music to some extent because time typically allow for the bad stuff to get filtered out. It's not as if there wasn't bad music in the 80', 90's and early 2000's it just got left behin...

[Request] Status Updates for the forum?

It would be nice to have a status update feature on the forum it sits at the bottom or the side of the forum and it would show recent status updates it can be used to post random stuff and obviously status updates and other little things that wouldn't justify creating an entire topic for.

Re: I bought 9 PS3 controllers for $40... how bad could they be?

It's just a shame I can't find the Sony patents to reproduce these, as reengineering these otherwise will require either complete destruction or an x-ray imager. It may not be a sony patent it could be a patent by alps or another company, or just a patent that expired. I found this patent while loo...

Re: HDMI Video Capture - USB Capture Card

I got an Avermedia LGP Lite for 9.30£ or so of eBay which is a pretty good capture card with pass through and headphone jack as well meaning that I don't need a monitor with speakers. It only records up to 1080p30 but has 1080p60 passthrough. It's perfect for my xbox one, 360 and wii. I think it's w...
