Flash Drive that supports USB 3.0, eh? Things sure has advanced nowadays.

This reminds me in several years ago when one of the external hard drive that I bought happened to have USB 3.0 support, with different lights indicating the USB mode that it runs. Iirc, it's green for 2.0 and blue for 3.0.

In other news, I managed to get a Dualshock 3 controller to work within Windows and Steam.

What was holding you from just buying a new router years back? 802.11g is positively old at this point.

Mostly the fact that I was living with my parents until October and we didn't need a different wireless router. I was basically using that Linksys router for only 2 months.

Did it involve the Xbox 360 controller driver software?

Not sure. What I found was a program called ScpToolkit and it started working fine.

Huh. All I had to do (granted, I was working with some wired ones) was install the 360 software, and then it worked just fine.

All I did was google "install dualshock 3 to pc" and found this link right here: http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-connect-a-ps3-controller-to-a-pc/

Does the Xbox 360 software work with the Dualshock 3 as well?

That program is full of ads though, and I don't really like the idea of that.

It's already terrible enough on fixed-width styles. :P

Also, hello from new desktop!

Starry Windy January 8th, 2017 10:32 PM

Ooh, so you got a new desktop now, Zach? That's nice :) Which OS did it run from?

Tsutarja January 8th, 2017 10:35 PM

Windows 10 Pro!

Starry Windy January 9th, 2017 12:19 AM

I see! I'm wondering if my next PC would have Windows 10 Pro though, considering I've tried the regular one at some point before, and I thought that it would run much better on my next PC if I managed to get one someday.

Now I'm curious what's in your new desktop ;)

For most folks Windows 10 would be basically the same ;) But yeah, Windows 10 is pretty great especially if your hardware was made for it.

If you buy a PC in store, it likely won't include the Pro version, but the Home version at least.

Starry Windy January 11th, 2017 6:49 PM

Uh, I meant, I'm sure Windows 10 would run much better if I'm running on newer PCs, rather than running it on my laptop because I've tried that before. But then, one of the reasons I'm possibly thinking of getting Pro version is mainly for holding off automatic updates and all.

Tsutarja January 11th, 2017 9:51 PM

Um, I had no idea that Cyanogenmod was essentially shut down until today...

Hoo boy, I have no idea as well until you pointed it out, Zach. I'm wondering if there will be better alternatives to those who wanted to mod their Android phones, in place of Cyanogen. Speaking of which, I'm wondering if they're pointing out to Lineage OS as the continuation of Cyanogenmod?

So for the past month, my iPhone had been cracked open up top because it fell to the ground from being in my hands while I got affected by a car accident. Well tonight, I managed to pull the shell open in half and get it snapped back into place! However, the inner lining had been cracked so that's the only apparent visible damage to the shell.

Also, I understand that this may sound hypocritical of me to say, but unless you are Apple-certified, I DO NOT recommend working on iPhones physically! They are fragile and if something goes wrong, the damage may not be covered under warranty.

Tsutarja January 28th, 2017 8:27 PM

I renewed my domain today, yay!

Sothis January 29th, 2017 4:26 PM

I have my own site, my friend started it then gave it over to me :3

Lucario January 30th, 2017 5:38 AM

I have a domain and a site but it's offline, I was running it from a raspberry pi and I think the SD card got corrupted.

Starry Windy February 8th, 2017 9:54 PM

I think I used to run several sites on the virtual server running through localhost in my old PC, even though it was more into testing stuffs like CMS or some MediaWiki stuffs.

Tsutarja February 9th, 2017 6:08 AM

It's definitely better to run a local-side copy of web applications before you publish them, that way you can do internal testing to make sure it runs fine and won't crash before publishing it server-side and making it public. :)

Funny enough, the access points that they give to consumers has DynDNS support built into them, which is basically entirely in contradiction of that clause.

So it's against their TOS to run a web server locally?!

Definitely. Does your ISP block use of traffic on Ports 80 and 25?

I ran my IRC server on my home server for a little over four years before switching it to a DigitalOcean droplet.

I had tried that in the past and it didn't work, but that was before I had my own domain as well. Hmm...
