Change Android aspect ratio and other issues View Thread Reply Hide ErnestCacklepid.swf - Wed, 01 Jan 2020 14:15:03 EST XZyF04aN No.122698 File: 1577906103975.png -(2124783B / 2.03MB, 2280x1080) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. So I got a new phone for Christmas, a Moto G8 which as far as I can tell runs stock Android 9 with a couple extra built in apps for gestures etc. I'm having four problems with it and I'm hoping you good folks would be so kind as to help.The first problem is the really wide aspect ratio making older games have visual bugs.For example on my screenshot you can see gray space on the background where new images appear as the camera pans, usually this would be happening off the side of the screen. Is there a way to force certain apps to think the phone has a standard 16:9 ratio or at least a way to set a custom resolution globally so I can toggle it when required?Second problem I discovered when trying to take a screenshot with the game actually playing - on older versions of Android you could press the power and volume down buttons to instantly take a screenshot. Now I have to hold the power button and press an on screen overlay. There are two problems with this, the first being that all the games I've tried it in instantly bring up the pause menu, making taking screenshots of actual gameplay impossible (hence why my pic is of the main menu rather than in game, where my first issue is much more distracting), the second problem is that even if I solve the pausing issue, holding then pressing makes taking an image of something time-sensitive impossible. Is there a way to restore the old method of taking screenshots?Third issue might just be me, but there is no way to capture a slow motion video. I can change the settings between 120 and 240fps from inside the default camera app, but there is no way to actually start recording. Do I need to download a different app for this or something? Seems strange you can modify the settings but not actually activate the feature.Fourth issue is the flashlight, my old phones always gave off a constant light, the new phone flickers or strobes the light. So using it in an actually dark room is nauseating, I don't know how many epileptics will be killed by this model phone, but I would bet my life savings it won't be zero. Is there any way to adjust this to be a constant light source?Thanks in advance and a happy new year to all! >> JamesPirringshit.mid - Thu, 02 Jan 2020 23:09:11 EST Kojij0UH No.122699 Reply >>122698best I can say is know your credentials beforehand. go to settings and reset the phone to factory default setting and start over. know your router settings.A lot of times doing a hard reset is all you need though. happy new year to ya back! If this doesn't work, do know a few things like where the phone came from, what phone plan, a few simple things can make things very difficult to get a faulty phone repaired or replaced.

Hey I have a small issue. I pulled some old word files off my old laptop, it crashes when you move the mouse. Complete and total freeze. Not even any error message. Anyway, I was VERY lucky to even manage to get the files off and onto a flash, I haven't been able to replicate that event.My problem is this, I have a newer laptop now, windows 10. I went to open my old word files to work on my stories and my retard computer is telling me now I have to sign into some bullshit faggy microsoft account? Or if not that then I have to enter my product key???? What the fuck???? The laptop was a gift???? I have no fucking product key???????? If there's no fix for this gay ass faggot shit, I'm going to use someone else's laptop and convert these from gay ass "word" files to straight up dope as fuck based and alpha Notepad files.

I've been thinking of getting a website of my own just for fun (not a chan, just for personal stuff and jokes and maybe later re-use the address+server for a lil mini-business thing), and to make an inside-joke abstract webNewspaper to make the day of some people I know. I've already checked that the address I want is free and not too expensive, but I've no idea where to go from there. Is there any good collected page with info about just, how to run a website?As far as I understand you would rather rent a small server-instance from some bigger company rather than selfhost and invite weird traffic to your home-network?Also how hard would it be to set up my own mail-server on the site (is that even included when you buy an address)? Like, would it be a bad idea for a webstuff-noob like me that might misconfigure something or is it pretty straightforward (as long as you're not too daft to grok the manuals)? 8 posts omitted.

Barebones build with Ryzen 3rd gen View Thread Reply Hide LillianChenninglock.mar - Tue, 03 Dec 2019 00:18:07 EST pFBr4RxB No.122618 File: 1575350287461.jpg -(96528B / 94.27KB, 818x546) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. Hey my noggles, my desktop took a shit after shipping around the world and now I've got to build a new one. Salvaging components from it so it shouldn't be too bad.Wonder what you recommend. I need CPU/momboard/power supply/case only. Looking to go midrange pretty much all the way, and trying not to spend more than $500.CPU: Taking advantage of that new 3rd gen Ryzen with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600. Seems like a good midpointMobo: Something that supports this CPU, is reliable, and has an M.2 port in case I get an NVMe SSD later on.Power supply: Reliable, has sum juice. Vid card uses 80w. Probably can do with around 500W. I dunno, not good with computer.Case: Simple but solid, ideally with some USB ports in the front. No gay lights.Is the CPU a good choice? What should I go with for the rest? Thank you for your coolness
wireles keyboards may not be safe.

Paranoid liberal bs. By the nature of how wireless works, there was no doubt it would be exploited. I beleive that the earliest versions had no realistic encryption mechanism, nothing better than wep level at the best. So did come into play. Obvious. Some corporations did develop effective measures before this came to light. The idea that one would have to be within 30 feet as that would be the limitation distance anyway of the devices range, yea sure. if it were even possible. Well, if that were the case, there are devices than can amplify faint signals. So that thought of 30 ft at best is still, or was still a no-go. Possibilities of having control of a signal from a keyboard and mose. Anything is possible. This issue was posed on this group as well some years back. It did come to be. 7 posts omitted.
