Something tells me wacky hijinks like me creating endless processes and making the entire PC unresponsive are not beyond me yet, as I did just that a few moments ago.

Ah, fork().

Android tablet-related.

I was curious - has anyone ever displayed their screen tablet to their desktop/laptop via sync cable? I'm trying to get it to function but I currently have no luck so far.

I've never even heard of being able to mirror a tablet's screen to a PC and have it in a live window. But then again, I'm sure it's possible through the Android SDK in some way.

It's possible when you use a screen recorder such as [email protected] I think my major issue is my laptop not recognizing the device when I use the "adb devices" command, and it displays this:

(this isn't my screenshot; just an example of exactly what I went through)


From that point on, I'm just simply clueless. I can sync files into the tablet; just...unable to display my device through this command.

That's pretty interesting. If it still works, it must've been built pretty heavily. :P How do you know it was there for three and a half months?

Tsutarja February 15th, 2014 5:28 AM

Wow, hopefully you come into contact with the owner of the phone, TF. I'm sure they'd be surprised to see you found the phone, but also probably disappointed that they also bought another one at the same time. Hopefully it goes okay though.

Legendary Silke February 15th, 2014 9:06 AM

I think I probably should start using a dark-on-light theme on my phone, seeing as I'm no longer bound to AMOLED power drain issues.

But, it's so pretty when it's light-on-dark...

Aeroblast February 15th, 2014 2:34 PM

Is asymptotic analysis help question appropriate for this section of the forum? I've tried homework thread only to be overlooked for 2 days.

Edit: Just got a reply. He was wondering how I got his email, but I decided to be truthful and tell him I got it from the Gmail app on the phone.

It'd be a good idea to sign out of all his online accounts, just to… you know, protect his privacy. xD Anyway, the guy's probably gotten a replacement already; it would be pretty sweet if he could let you keep it.

Tsutarja February 15th, 2014 7:08 PM

That's a surprising attitude from someone who was missing a device that got it returned to them.. I would have expected them to be much more nice about it.

That reminds me.. I usually always worry about leaving my tablet behind at school, but I'm not so sure why lmao

That's sort of how I feel whenever I take my phone with me when going places. xD" I never put it anywhere besides my own purse, though, but still end up worrying.

Aeroblast February 15th, 2014 7:19 PM

I've never lost anything in public since I accidentally left my gaming laptop on a bench in my university. Thankfully when I got back there as quickly as I can (or rather my mom), the laptop was still there.

Tsutarja February 15th, 2014 7:29 PM

I would place my tablet in my pocket (since it could fit in my pocket without its case), but I have a case on my tablet that comes with a keyboard, and I use the keyboard to type things, such as posts here on PC with it whenever I'm at school. The case makes the tablet as thick as a novel.

Speaking of high-end computers, I've been gathering the parts for a custom desktop that I'm building myself. It's gonna have an Intel quad-core processor @ 3.2GHz, 2 x 4 GB DDR3 RAM, a 120GB SSD, BD-ROM Drive/Floppy drive (for nostalgia), a built-in wireless receiver + Ethernet NIC, and is going to be loaded with USB3 ports.

I would also strongly advise that you add in a spinning drive in addition to the SSD you have in your potential setup.

Tsutarja February 16th, 2014 12:11 PM

I'm still pondering if I should get an SSD and install Windows on that but keep my other files. hmm..

On another note, it's time for me to get a new laptop. Like now. I don't really care if the next Windows OS comes out this year (which is really doubtful), but my current laptop is now at a state where when it starts up, the BiOS shows a "bad battery" message, and replacing the battery is like $100. No joke.

Aeroblast February 16th, 2014 12:27 PM

How old is your laptop?

How did you get that kind of money? job?

The laptop is going on five years old.. it was my Christmas gift back in 2009, when Windows 7 was still a fairly brand new operating system.

I'd advise getting a small SSD that's just big enough for your OS and games, and then getting a 3TB HDD on USB3 to put all of your media onto. That's what I'm doing ;P

^, except 1.5TB until the 4TB becomes as cheap. :)

If you intend on playing the latest games, you got to put in a graphics card, or 2 if you have the budget to do so.

Ah, the item I forgot. I had in mind whatever the latest pretty is in ATI Radeon.

I will say that I've about had it with my CPU/GPU combo on my notebook. Dual-core AMD @ 1.4 GHz and a low-line ATI/AMD GPU, anyone?

Get a new one then.

Meanwhile, my family back in Korea finally threw out our 12 year old desktop, which still worked with Windows Me.

I honestly thought Korea was more in-tune with the times than that. I don't even see those things in thrift shops anymore! o_O

Well, my family isn't the representation of entirety of south Korea... even then we rarely used it for good reason (my father and sister both have laptops)

Three blue screens in a row, with one of them being MEMORY_MANAGEMENT?

Time to check the RAM modules.
