Daily Chit-Chat: What even is this?

[Tsutarja]

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

 

[donavannj]

Hehe.

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.

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

Did it involve the Xbox 360 controller driver software?

Did it involve the Xbox 360 controller driver software?

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

 

[donavannj]

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: https://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?

 

[Tsutarja]

I've heard that ds3tool is pretty much the most used and accepted program for using PS3 controllers on Windows.

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

 

[Tsutarja]

ugh I might have to code a new forum splash at this point. The new section name is ruining the layout on mobile browsers >__<

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

Also, hello from new desktop!

 

[Starry Windy]

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

 

[Tsutarja]

Windows 10 Pro!

 

[Starry Windy]

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.

 

[Legendary Silke]

Windows 10 Pro!

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

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.

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]

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]

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

 

[Starry Windy]

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?

 

[Tsutarja]

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]

I renewed my domain today, yay!

 

[Corrin]

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

 

[Lucario]

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]

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.
