Speaking of roots, how the hell does one go about flashing the framework for Xposed on lollipop with TWRP? I read the instructions on XDA forums but I am stumped.

Just drop in to post some stuff so Zach won't miss me : ).

So, my dad recently want to buy a new Iphone SE to replace his Iphone 4 cuz it's very slow and kills battery. For me, Iphone SE would be a great idea for him but I wonder Apple company about old phones.

I mean, old phones like Iphone 4 and 4s still able to run smoothly on some apps but why they still do not support those old fellas? I wish they could just introduce ios that capable to run old device smoothly and continuing support for previous generations of Iphones.

The current iPhones barely make it compared to Android phones spec wise, I barely have a clue how people still use the iPhone 4 or 4S. Sure the CPU has always been top of the line,even better then the Snapdragon Equivalents in some ways, but the extremely low amount of RAM Is definitely the thing holding them back. Hell my K10 has 1.5 gigs and I got the phone for 150 euros, at the price current gen iPhones are worth there should easily be 3 or 4 gigs of ram on board.

Well, you made a good point. Iphone does have a small RAM storage, but remember. Iphone is not a multitasking device, even it has switching apps feature but it just freeze the app and begin to operate other apps. So, the RAM storage is absolutely not affecting the performance.

This makes the phone able to efficiently use more RAM on single app rather than multitasking and also saves small battery life as well. It may multitasks, but only applies on notifications or downloading and installing apps which not affects the performance significantly.

So... When it comes to gaming settings decisions, what would you rather have? Screen tearing or input lag? As many of you might know the V-Sync feature forces the game to update screens at the display rate, (FPS) but sometimes add an input lag (Mouse jittering and keyboard input delay). I've been in some situations that this was inevitable, at least I couldn't fix it. I used to go play CoD 2 at a cyber cafe, in these cases I had to turn V-Sync off, otherwise I would've sucked at aiming :P But there are some cases where is ultimately up to preference (Single Player Games). I'm a performance freak, I would sacrifice the last pixel in the screen for a few FPSs more :P How about you?
If NVIDIA has their way, soon, we won't need to pick. No fancy hardware required, either - all you need is a semi-recent NVIDIA card if all the things go right. (Oddly as it sounds, it's not Pascal-specific.)

Interesting. **** us AMD users :(

I hope that doesn't consume too much power like NVIDIA loves to do.
NVIDIA? Power-sucking? Hah! They're kind of like the relationship of Intel to AMD in the CPU space, except replace Intel with NVIDIA.

Screen Tearing for sure. I'd rather have a smaller Twitter here and there then deal with input lag causing me to lose over and over again because the bosses hitbox was altered 2 seconds earlier then the screen showed mr.

Screen tearing gives me headaches though. It's way too visually jarring especially when panning quickly. That's why I like Fast Sync being a thing.

Sure,technology evolves for that reason, to eliminate issues. If we were talking about a hypothetical no solution ever scenario, screen tearing is the lesser of two evils in the end.


Meanwhile in Android land, Ι hope to god the EU K10 gets Marshmallow. Both the T-Mobile/Sprint variation along with the K430DSY for Asia have Marshmallow out of the box, and I'm sitting here with Lollipop. Even the LG Stylus 2 which is the same phone but with a bigger display and a stylus has the Marshmallow update. But yeah, out of the box Marshmallow for 2/3 of the work bar Europe is some bullmuk. Totally unacceptable if it never comes, considering how it already exists. I mean, I bought the phone knowing that it comes with Lollipop, and it's a fairly recent phone only a month on the market, but that month should have been enough or them to give us a room that already exists. And LG has a pretty big branch here in Greece, much like Sony.

My brother is waiting for his Samsung Galaxy S5 for marshmallow Update, for sure he will be very hyped for this update but he waited for quite a long time to get the update, until now.

Anyways, the not so old S5 is kinda thin comparing to S6 and S7. My brother loves medium size phone like 5 inch S5. It still run smoothly and supports fast charging. The thing is I rarely see people using S5 over here but S6 and S7 are even more popular as well as A7 and A5.

Into another topic, I found out that my laptop processor does not need high CPU speed to run games smoothly. At most of the time, the fps seemed to retain at average 45 in the Wicther 3. As I tune into high performance, the fps is still retained the same with 3.13 Ghz of Core i5-6300HQ. Besides, the cpu usage does not affect much with maximum speed and average speed of cpu.

This concludes that good processor does not actually needs much power to run the games smoothly

Personally, I think latency is the lesser of two evils. Then again, I'm single-player focused, and even among the multiplayer stuff I do play, they're not as twitchy as CS:GO or the like.

Especially since visible screen tearing detracts heavily from the experience and may induce headaches...

Obviously screen tearing is a big headache for me too, not just affecting the smoothness of the graphic motion, it also affects the eye sight too. So, vertical sync is introduced to cope that issue, but it does not do any much about it. But recently technology become better by using triple buffered sync or G-sync by nvidia.

Oh Windows, why have you many flaws?

I shouldn't have to restart explorer.exe every few days to open my start menu :|

What doesn't get corrupt on Windows installs over time, though?

A lot, if your software configuration pretty much never changes and there's nothing wrong with the hardware.

Though I guess it does say something if things eventually wedge.

Anyone heard of Earthtek? I really should get going and get my fan replaced before my laptop crashes again. It seems like I have two options, stock and the mentioned brand. Both say they fit, but there are models that are listed with reviews saying they don't fit. Laptop is way out of warranty. Well its probably the fan. It sounds like a ceiling fan, spinning, kinda sounds like its lightly touching something. And my laptop vibrates.

How old is the laptop? At some point it's probably better off stop trying to Band-Aid things.

I know, its about.. I can't remember, pretty sure I had it in Highschool so it's at-least 4-6 years old. I would buy a new laptop totally if I could afford it, but I can't. Not to mention my brothers would love to have it when I get a new one. A fans only $20 if I DIY, though unsure if I'll do it because it seems complicated. Just want to know if anyone thinks buying the alternative is better then stock, stock has already failed me twice it seems thoughout the years.
