"Circuits"... College has made me hate this word. If I was a Comp E major, I'd be on the verge of suicide. (maybe not)

Edit: THANK YOU ZACH.

Tsutarja October 28th, 2013 5:49 PM

I guess I'd probably get to hate the word too if I had to look at it everyday :P but eh it was time for a new title in the thread. Not the best title but eh..

And my older laptop (which I very rarely use to this day) has a bad battery in it apparently.. the charge light blinks on and off whenever plugged in, and on the taskbar it's stuck at 27% not charging.

Hmm...

What do you plan to do with it?

In other news, I recovered my entire laptop to Windows 7 as 8.1 is very wonky with regard to drivers for my Windows 7-era laptop. Might as well as go back in time to full support.

Funny enough, even with most of the same stuff installed, it boots in 64 seconds instead of 8 minutes.

I'll probably eventually toss it but I'd like to keep it for nostalgic purposes since it runs Windows Vista.

Ouch, that sucks. I'm fortunate that no drivers failed on my desktop when I installed Windows 7 on it since it ran Windows Vista originally.

Zach, about your freezing - do you have an Nvidia graphics card? The last few new drivers have been causing system freezes with my card (560 Ti) and I had to roll them back to a previous version. It's a pretty well-documented problem if you Google a bit.

I have an ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Series card in my machine, and this was an isolated case as it's the first time my desktop just suddenly froze on session without any response. Though I wasn't performing any settings changes or anything too graphical with my GPU at the time the freeze occurred.

Can anyone recommend some high speed head phones at a reasonable price? I'm looking for something better than my current turtle beaches. Not really sure what the good brands for headphones are though.

What kind of headphones are you looking for? I'm sure those can help us out in terms of narrowing our recommendations :)

What are 'high speed' head phones?

For the money, Turtle Beaches aren't bad. If you are looking for cheap music listing head phones with more bass than the Beaches, then I highly recommend Sennheniser HD 202. They are less than $30USD, and for the price, they are really hard to beat. They have good highs, and the clarity is really good, the bass is also pretty good, but not as good as more expensive head phones. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-202-Professional-Headphones-Black/dp/B003LPTAYI/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

Heh, speaking of headphones, I'm thinking that maybe I should get a pair of real headphones, too, if only for comfort.

Just have to decide between a gaming headset and something more for music.

Tsutarja October 31st, 2013 5:39 AM

Recently my second pair of Apple earbuds got a short in them somehow just after constant use I guess.. but the same thing that happened to the second pair happened to the first pair. Ironically, my cheaper JVC earbuds have more durability.

And I need a new USB headset for my desktop as well. It's held up for a good two years, but earlier this year the microphone began to short out and eventually it did, then the speaker wire started to go as well, but I've had to hold the wires in place where they aren't shorted with tape so that they would continue to work. Now they're beginning to physically fall apart.

Legendary Silke October 31st, 2013 6:06 AM

Something about headphones and short durability... yeah, does it feel weird?

I think that's the issue I found when getting or buying headphones, even though I must admit, using headphones instead of earphones can be a bit comfortable at some point.

Legendary Silke October 31st, 2013 10:36 AM

I miss using my Sony buds. They worked very well when I was young, years ago.

Kept going until I lost them.

NEXUS 5 HYPE GET

http://www.google.com/nexus/5/

So cheap compared to iPhone 5S and 5"C." I already have a Note II though it has a lot of scratches.

Oh wow, that does look like a good phone.. I would at least hope that for the price of the phone the overall quality of it is good. And I see it's the inaugural device for Android 4.4 KitKat as well.

I have to admit, I actually kind of want one. I wonder if it will work on Verizon. I noticed that it has CDMA support. So I hope so, Finally a good Nexus device I can use on VZW. The camera has to be amazing through, I'm not giving up my Lumia unless the camera is really good!

I'd love a Polaroid Camera, they look so professional and always take high definition pictures.

A lot of cameras these days can take really good photographs, even point-and-shoots.. however, I wish to have a DSLR camera like everyone else in my family, that's for sure :P

Nolafus October 31st, 2013 6:08 PM

I have a Fujifilm finepix S, and that takes some good photos.

That actually looks like a nice camera! Is it one where the lenses can be changed around as well?

Nolafus October 31st, 2013 7:05 PM

I don't have different lenses, since I only do scenery photography as a small hobby, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. I would imagine so, since that's a common feature on the bigger cameras. I guess my final answer is probably, without any help from personal experience.

Starry Windy November 1st, 2013 6:25 AM

Speaking of cameras, I was given a Sony DSC-S3000 as a gift about 2 years ago, and I can take some good shots. However, I wish I can handle the shooting well that my hand won't shake when I take the shoot.

Legendary Silke November 1st, 2013 7:21 AM

I have a Sony Alpha NEX-5R.

Although I have a 55-210mm, I tend to just use the 16-50mm power zoom lens that automatically collapses and extends by itself. You know, it's more mobile than the telephoto zoom lens.
