I like Windows 8's boot time. Since I have Teamviewer, I can see on my clients whenever my laptop comes on, and that's usually 2-3 seconds after I power the laptop on.

Also, I've experienced the wifi problem with Windows 8.1 once, but it's not as problematic of a problem as I thought it would be.

The fun part is probably the laptop managing to boot to the lock screen before the spinning platters spin up completely.

I love W8's boot and shutdown time. I keep forgetting that it's almost instantaneous. With W7 I used to have enough time to go to the kitchen and get something, and come back before it got to the login screen.

First, apologies if this is the wrong section to ask this, but...
Question: I have a 3DS and PKMN X, and have been uploading wifi battles on YouTube, but, YT is being a pain in the neck, stating that my videos matched third party content...
I have legitimately bought the 3DS and PKMN X. Should I file a dispute or just leave it be?
Honestly, I feel like YT is holding back my freedom of uploading my videos, 'cause, y'know, I bought the goddamn thing! Why am I not allowed to post it online?

And on an unrelated question...
My PC at home currently only has 1GB RAM, and Windows 7 doesn't seem to like that. =/
I live in a third-world country, so yeah, I'm poor. :P
So I'm planning on upgrading soonish when I manage to save up again. :3

Anyway, I have a ASRock N68C-GS FX motherboard, and I plan to buy a new RAM, at least 2 to 4 GB. What RAM (brand, specs, whatever) would be good for my motherboard?

Definitely file a dispute. Nintendo has been taking down anything with their content(because of people making money from them).

I did a quick google search on your motherboard + ram and found this result:

That board is a bit of an oddity. You can use 2 sticks of DDR2 memory in the yellow slots OR 2 sticks of DDR3 memory in the blue slots. In either case, it will only accept a total of 8GB. You can't use both DDR2 and DDR3 at the same time. See page 17 of your manual.

Yes, you can use either of those pairs of Corsair DDR3 1600MHZ RAM. But only in the blue slots. They won't even fit in the yellow slots. Look close and you'll see the slots' guide pin is in a slightly different position.

I took a look at some of the ram mentioned, and found some DDR3 1600MHZ RAM for under $100 on a site I use for computer parts/accessories.

I...don't understand.
Are you saying that I should file a dispute so Nintendo won't take it down? o.0
Also, what options should I choose?

Spoiler:

I believe this copyright claim is not valid because:
I own the CD / DVD or bought the song online. - this option takes me nowhere...

I'm not selling the video or making any money from it. - this option takes me nowhere...

I gave credit in the video. - this option takes me nowhere...

The video is my original content and I own all of the rights to it.didn't try this one, 'cause the video's not really my original content, anyway. =/

I have a license or written permission from the proper rights holder to use this material.

My use of the content meets the legal requirements for fair use or fair dealing under applicable copyright laws.

The content is in the public domain or is not eligible for copyright protection.

You should probably opt for fair use, since Nintendo made the option to share wifi battles.

Thanks. I'll try it in one of my marked vids and see what happens.

Also, thanks as well for your thoughts on my motherboard. Didn't know it's limited to only 8GB RAM. o.0

Sometimes I wish there was a way to control the bandwidth on Netflix.. because I dislike how things start out with low quality on Netflix then go up to their full quality after a few seconds. I guess they do that though because of the fact that the movie buffers the whole way.

It's Netflix's streaming tech. Not much you can do about it. Other than using a 3DS to stream, which only streams in the lower resolutions, iirc. :P

 

[Tsutarja]

Of all devices I wouldn't want to watch Netflix on, the 3DS would probably be the first one :P (it's ridiculous enough that they allow for Youtube)

Believe it or not, Netflix actually runs better than YouTube on the 3DS!

 

[Tsutarja]

Hmm, interesting. Does Netflix on the 3DS have the ability to use profiles?

 

[donavannj]

No. It just uses the default profile. Nowhere near fancy enough for anything else. A smartphone is far better for Netflix if you can keep the phone charged.

 

[Hiatus]

I've tried Netflix before on my phone and tablet, but not 3DS. Don't think I would ever want to, either, because I bought it only for gaming and nothing else; I wouldn't really expect its quality to be as good as the former two. xD"

I loved watching YouTube on my phone, specifically the episodes of Pokémon, which is what I spent the entire winter break doing.

I am really pissed that my crappy AMD APU is soldered to my motherboard. Why must you screw me over with a processor that can't even handle smooth scrolling in web browsers while listening to music? WHY!?

 

[Legendary Silke]

For one reason or another, turns out a lot of background processes were crashing on the 8.1 installation for some reason. While it doesn't really affect day-to-day use, I'd have reservations using a PC like that.

I went back to 7. Again. I think I'll just use 8.x or 9 with a new PC at this rate...

 

[Tsutarja]

I can't remember, but did the laptop originally come with Windows 8.x? If it did, then that's really weird that it's acting up in such a manner.

 

[Zet]

If it's still under warranty, contact the manufacturer and see if they can fix whatever is wrong with it.

 

[donavannj]

Always RMA before taking drastic measures yourself. Always.

Did you hear of the exploit in the YouTube 3DS app that lets you view videos directly on your system?

Never heard of that. Older firmware, I assume?
