    Laptop (Thinkpad edge S430) speakers popping and no sound output except for headphones

    Hey people, maybe someone has a tipp for troubleshooting this. While watching the pyra/EvilDragon Q&A livestream, my laptops sound suddenly started to stutter. It was like intermittent interrupts, every half second or so. I thought it was a streaming problem at first and switched to another PC...

    Hey people, a colleague is interested in the GPD Win (couldn't get him interested in the pyra... dang), specifically for creating remixes with ableton live on the go. I was wondering if anyone here has tried running ableton and if it is usable. Obviously a live recording scenario will not be...

    Help me find a game I played when I was a teen

    Hi! This is driving me nuts. I have tried to find out the title of this game for years but I think it was just too obscure or something. It came on one of those demo compilations from a pc game magazine. Must have been around 97/98 I think. At first I thought it was septerra core after seing...

    Starting a new life (career wise at least)!

    Yay! Just wanted to express my happiness here and share this with you guys. Maybe some remember that I was working in the performing arts business, namely theatre. And probably, that I got the hell outta there after failing as a freelance artist and working with a horrible dipshit of a...

    Just revived two notebooks in the oven!

    I finally tried the famous baking oven reflow method :D Got a dead macbook air from one of the neighbours and another dead ultrabook (HP slimbook) from my recycling yard buddy. Since the macbook air was having a RAM issue and thus not booting, there wasn't really anything to lose. I would have...

    Hey guys, I just started to shift my job perspectives from theatre to IT businesses (hopefully) and have to get a certification in order to start an actual education as a sysadmin/developer. Hence I have to attend a 3 week course "networking basics" and am bored to death. All of the stuff I...

    Hi guys, trying to fix a neighbours broken laptop right now. They must have spilled something on it and were apparently using it with an external monitor and keyboard. I disassembled the whole thing completely to get to the fan assembly which I had to take apart and clean thoroughly. The fan...

    Puberty sucks? Parents suck! About hacking and adolescence...

    I just got off my phone with one of my little cousins (well he's 16 now). Yesterday night, we were trying to set up his CHIP. I bought two for christmas to give to my cousins, so they'd learn to have fun with computing, instead of becoming i-idiots. Since he is going to finally buy his own...

    Holy fuck... Sorry, but I just need to tell someone this story. Was on my way to work and sat together with some colleagues. Since we were all sitting together with four people, I did something I normally never do: I put my backpack with my laptop and 1ghz Pandora inside in the overhead...

    He folks! Anyone remember Archimedean Dynasty? For those who don't: Anyway, I was looking for a means to play this on the pandora a while ago. Obviously dosbox won't be sufficient, the game is way too advanced. But, there seem to be a couple of open source implementations...

    Have to vent... I hate download code vouchers

    I have to let go of a little steam. After a whole year of abstinence, I decided to buy an xbox 360 game or two. They had diablo 3 and batman arkham collection for a low price at a local supermarket chain. Since they have quite an electronics and media department and I never had any problems...

    Hey people! I visited a friend yesterday, who invited me to survey a haul of computer parts that he had acquired. He deals in recycling and scrap trade, mostly electronics and stuff from bankrupcy liquidations, estate sales and the likes. So I finally made the trip down to his place on a sunny...
