paul-r-cfc Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Didn't see a quick question thread on the gaming forum so will stick it here. Is it possible to play the division without having playstation plus? Got to a siege and it is making me matchmake to go ahead. Dunno if there's a way round that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I was slagging it off as I still have a PC still in use I built for music production back in 2005. Gigabyte DQ6 Quad MB, Intel QX6800, 4GB Geil Black Dragon memory, Tagan 600watt PSU, GTX 275 GFX and multiple sound cards for recording and mixdown and then we come to HDD space and where I think you've shafted Junior here! HDD drives are ten a penny these days and I'm surprised there ain't at least 500GB or 1TB shoved in there. I have umpteen HDD's lying around just incase I need storage. Retro gaming on an old OS? That's what I use the above PC for, sometimes the older classics are still the best even though the graphics suck because the game play is far better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Put a new file on my, er, backup hard drive the other day and it seems to have rendered the folder it went into useless. "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." Are the folder and its contents gone forever? If they are, will it affect the space on the HDD? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you acquire a copy of getdataback for ntfs that may recover the file for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloaded the free trial. Success! It's there, it all works. 79 dollars seems a somewhat extortionate price, however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Bought a new phone from 3 about 3 weeks ago. Since I got the phone I've had a problem. Most of the time when someone calls me and I answer there is nothing. No sound, nothing. none of us can hear each other. I can call them back and it;s fine. Sometimes they will call me back and then I can hear them fine, but its like its just a raffle. The phone is up to date, it's been given a factory reset, the volume is fine, signal is fine. Anyone else had a problem like this and how did you fix it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably get worse as time goes by as other faults might or will probably surface. Sounds most likely like a software problem caused by bad circuitry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 How do I make articles from The Sun disappear from my news feed? It's an iPhone 6 and I've already clicked dislike The Sun and picked numerous topics to hopefully tune out The Sun. It's the newspaper's feed that I'm not so keen on. The thing is the sky is okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Getting my Galaxy Note 4 collected on Monday to be recycled by Music Magpie. They asked me to remove my Samsung account in settings and I've done Wipe Data/Factory Reset in the menu after holding down the power/home/volume up keys. Is there anything I should do before I hand it over? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into three and the guy said the phone needed an update...sure, there was an update there to be done - but my phone was fully updated before when the problem was there. Anyway, i updated it and it seemed to magically fix the phone. I got several people to call me and it worked fine. Two days later and the problem has resurfaced. Absolutely raging. Just going to get the thing exchanged for a new one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your installed plug-ins and then google each one you don't know, probably conflicting plug-ins running at the same time. Always happens if rogue software has been installed on the fly installing a program for some other purpose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderdomb Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Posting this here I’ve also posted on a few other threads:At the start of the year I decided it was time to start “cutting the cable” and move everything to kodi, my laptop was the first project so I could test addons and create my own “build/onboarding” checklist. Once my laptop was 99% perfect and I was using it more than my TiVo, nowtv and Netflix I decided it was time to install on a raspberry pi and have that in the living room alongside the above so that the mrs could get used to the interface of kodi - this went well after installing some codecs that didn’t come along with the pi.One of the biggest complaints I had from the mrs and any visitors was the lack of remote - who really wants to use a Bluetooth keyboard with touch pad when watching the tv? So I’ve bitten the bullet and I’m planning on swapping the pi for my nowtv box although I’m unsure how to go about this - do I really need to reinstall every add on and fine tune everything yet again? Or is there a more simple way like swapping out a xml file? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
