Curious what the peanut gallery would do. System for a family member needs a new monitor. Background hardware: Windows 7x64, older system. The box is still running an AM6400+ CPU actually on a K9N Neo motherboard 2GB of RAM I built 10+ years back. Has an ancient Nvidia 8500GT GPU I think...

I saw this (before mods on r/Android nuked the post for being "too technical") and figured the techies here might enjoy a long somewhat-technical read as to how one fellow overcame his Asus tablet with no available root/TWRP and rooted it...even though it had an unlockable bootloader and could...

For you all out there who like to mess with your phones...Google has changed SafetyNet. Now simply unlocking your bootloader is enough to cause failure to validate your device. This results in breakage of: -Android Pay, ofc. -Games like PokemonGo that use SafetyNet. -Your corporate email...

Someone had to have not had their coffee in the morning when they didn't lock this one down Critical vulnerability Pork Explosion revealed by jcase, cripples security on some phones

I'm getting fed up with Android and Android OEMs on many levels....a few questions, since I've read a variety of things: A) How well do iPhones actually run OS upgrades that come down these days (say the last 3 generations)? I've heard varying things from "fine" to "buy a new phone if you want...

Sorry...header is me thinking out loud. Android notifications on Windows 10: Microsoft does the bare minimum Now you can somewhat mirror your notifications from your Android device onto Windows 10 desktop...cool trick, sure. But you have to install Cortana (dataminer) on your Android and give...

I've been using it for a long while now...and it is finally ticking me off. What is with Windows 10 and awful streaming video performance on certain sites? And before you say anything: -Same LAN/router/modem -Same ample bandwidth to work with (30 megabit) -Same website (Eurosportplayer...

Opera has sold off its mobile and desktop browser business to Chinese investors: Opera agrees to sell its browser business to group of Chinese buyers for $600 million Personally...I already deleted my Opera account and uninstalled from all platforms. Had fond memories from that browser, sniff...

Heads up fellas, Hangouts v11 eliminates the option of merging SMS and Hangouts chats threads. You can still SMS for now via Hangouts, however SMS and Hangouts threads are separated (YAY for MORE clutter!). Google's public stance is that merging SMS is too "confusing" to users, which given...

So this system I helped build up years and years ago (back when Thuban was hot stuff). I then was around to get it CPU-watercooled. It was then summarily abused (CPU waterloop had a dead pump for 2 STRAIGHT WEEKS of uptime and the system did not thermal shutdown during that time). The fact it...

Not a rookie, here. Just out of the loop and want input from people with experience with newer GPUs. Computer parts in question: A) e3-1230, equivalent of an i7-2600 (non-K). Not OC'd meaningfully at all. 2) Coming upgrade to a Gigabyte Gaming GTX 980 G1 (got it 40% off retail prices) WC...

I've had this issue for a while when hard-wired, but it was only once in a while. Now with a wireless adapter it is practically a daily occurrence. Powering off or sleeping my machine overnight makes no difference, will almost certainly happen the next day. Symptom...out of the blue websites...

So far the only browsers I've found that run well in Lollipop are Chrome ...and CM Browser, that up until now I'd never heard of. But it is lightweight and wicked fast and works...and even runs mobile H fine. Sadly Dolphin Browser runs like crap on my Nexus 6 and 5.0.1 , and custom ROMs...

Is it just me...or is Inbox by GMail a complete skull-f*ckery of an email app? Do I just not "get it" at all and am set in my ways of mentally processing emals, or is Google really trying to pull this stunt and it is as moronic as it seems to me?

Myself and Mssr Bob_Dole got these...you're buying refurb, but we both anyway got pixel perfect and got them quickly. Comes in HP Refurb packaging with all accessories, and comes ready to use (assembled on stand). YMMV of course with pixel perfection. Free shipping was fast too. Great deal...

Anyone else who's seen this have any input on making it go away? By phantom, I mean typing happily along and then the cursor will jump a line or more back or go to a different text blank. I had this happen on a WinXP with stock OS and drivers a while ago... Now a family members Lenovo with...

So I know someone who recently got their hands on a $3000 FLIR (Infrared for those not hip) camera in their department. We wanted to play around and see what we could see…so the idea of scoping a PC waterloop came up to see what it looks like in the infrared. Instrument is one of these...

Myself and a few Mssrs in [H]orde chat have had this start happening this morning: Is happening on Chrome, IE10, and FireFox, as well as the full-site on mobile browsers. Purging [H]forum cookies does nada, nor does restarting browser, adblocking doesn't matter either. [H]ardOCP seems...

I and a few others have noticed that with the v25 update plain text on any website...even [H] Mobile is ridiculously blurry after installing the update...with no other system changes. Default system fonts or custom. Serif or sans-serif. Seems to not make a difference. Ya take the update...

Like the thread header says...did it get deprecated in favor of just [N]ewzon?

Like the title says I want something to handle the VPN tunneling for all my network traffic on my LAN....I'm only tunneling to my payware VPN service which then connects me to the internet. Currently do not have plans for other tunneling.... My VPN SP allows IPSEC, L2TP, or PPTP or OpenVPN...

Sorry I cannot be more helpful right now than the above...but in the last 24-48 hours I've had repeated instances of one of the ad servers cause [H]ardforums to hang. Chrome gets stuck after the [H] logo appears, the lower left reads for example: "Waiting For pagead2.googlesyndication.com ...
