    Comment by 'Originality' in 'Mini PC Thoughts'

    HP laptops die from thermals, and Dell laptops die from the darnedest things - most recently from the UEFI forgetting where to find an OS and needing me to point it in the right direction. There reason a 1.2Ghz Core M5 CPU takes all night to render a video should be obvious. It’s not a MacBook...

    Comment by 'Originality' in 'Mini PC Thoughts'

    @FAST6191 , are you really suggesting video editing on an old laptop? I've literally seen someone burn their old HP laptop in a week trying to use it to render their final year project! Or if you mean in terms of playing back multimedia, I've got a Fire TV stick and a NAS for DLNA playback...

    Comment by 'Originality' in 'Mini PC Thoughts'

    The Lian Li PC-Q37WX is very similar in price and form factor to the A4-SFX v2 and it's good in that it has the potential to create a monster water-called mini-ITX PC, but considering it's over double the price of other cases, I'm not sure I'd consider it twice as good. A fun project if money is...

    Mini PC Thoughts

    So recently I've seen a lot of posts/videos talking about mini-PC builds. My last blog post included a couple of options for that too, and since there's more interesting developments in the area, I thought I'd make another blog entry to get my thoughts in one place. This is partially to act as a...

    Comment by 'Originality' in 'My Dream System Setup'

    @alexander1970, I treat it more like a creative exercise. If you remove the universal limitation that is money, what could you build out of the components that are available today (OK, so the 3950X doesn't come out for a few months, but the information is there so it doesn't impede the...

    My Dream System Setup

    So, this morning I woke to find a random new thread pop up asking what people's dream system builds would be if money were no object. Funnily enough, I've been having a bunch of conversations with my colleagues about this over the last couple months, so now I'll get a change to just lay it out...

    Who’re “they”? Edit: the game companies couldn’t care less, so who would want to “silence” you?

    The quest to record TV

    I feel like writing a blog entry of my last couple days of adventure into the world of TV tuners, PVR boxes, and NAS solutions. So here goes. What I want to do is record TV so we can play it back whenever we need to. A problem with a simple solution, right? Just get a DVR/PVR box, plug the...

    Comment by 'Originality' in 'What's with the PS4 fanboys bashing Nintendo switch'

    I came in here expecting some kind of flame war and discovered silly bickering and nothing of value. I don't know where the Sony bashing came from because, as I see it, the entire internet bashed the switch for being underwhelming, yet praised the switch for its concept. All that remains to see...

    Comment by 'Originality' in 'The story of "my IOSU exploit"'

    Interesting read... But personally I'm so jaded about IOSU news that I hardly pay attention to any of it anymore until the scene explodes with a bunch of releases and tutorials about it, which I don't see happening any time soon. That said, it's good that you explain yourself like this. I don't...

    Comment by 'Originality' in 'Guessing people's gender (wrong) in forums...based on their avatar'

    I generally don't think of anybody on the Internet as one gender or another. Just words on a screen, with a chosen picture to represent their identity. Words (in English at least) don't have genders, so I treat what people say based on what they say. And every time someone asked me my gender...

    Comment by 'Originality' in 'So I'm watching a show called mysterious girlfriend X`'

    I always found the most interesting part of that series is what happens in his dreams.

    Comment by 'Originality' in 'n3DS Feature discovered :o'

    Nope :wacko: I'm just too used to having to move SD cards back and forth when it comes to hacking nintendo products (DS, 3DS, Wii, WiiU).

    n3DS Feature discovered :o

    So I just learned today that the n3ds allows you to connect to PC wirelessly to put files onto the microSD card. The transfer speeds are understandably slow (2-3mbps) but it was able to copy a game over in 7 minutes. This means... I never have to unscrew the freakin' screws off the backplate...

    Quest of a Monster Hunter fan...

    Blogs are like a place to just place your thoughts in the open whether or not someone cares to read it. I haven't done much in 2015 aside from fixing a whole bunch of systems, but since the 3DS scene has exploded and I managed to get most of it working, I thought I might as well just post about...

    Choosing an Upgrade - Chassis Edition

    Last time I looked at the motherboards on my shortlist, mostly as a way of sorting out my opinions to decide what I want in my future upgrade path (there will always be a need for more drives), and partially to let others see what kind of thought can go into a system build and how system...

    Choosing an Upgrade - Motherboard Edition

    So I've been doing a lot of research into Z97 motherboards in the last couple weeks and feel like posting some of my findings here as a way of sorting out my own thoughts and considerations into this. I've said in my last post that my motive for upgrading is a shortage of free SATA ports in my...

    Life of a PC Enthusiast

    So I thought I'd try out this whole blog thing again after so many years (talking to fellow bloggers had no impact on this whimsical decision). What can I talk about? Computers. Here's my current system build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/j6VVGX Before I had this PC, I had a very old Pentium...

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
