Wheels-Of-Fire

Nobody cares about me. Not a single one of my 8 most used passwords has been pawned 😥

Infact if Mrs May was a leaver then her best bet now would be to run the clock down. She could spend the next 70 odd days split between pointless discussions with the EU and proposing useless tweeks to her deal to the house. When we then hit the deadline and the default no deal kicks in she can rightly say she offered the best deal the EU would…[Read more]

Corbyn had to table a motion of no confidence after the government suffed such a historic defeat, it is the default course of action, especially after Mrs May dared him to do it. What I dont understand is Labours threat to table more motions of no confidence in the run up to March 29th. Do they not see that this is time wasting that makes the…[Read more]

Glad you liked it Keith, I had you in mind 😁

I was slightly inaccurate when I said that exclusive mode bypasses the audio engine completely as it still uses the device pipe portion, its the stream pipe bit that gets left out as the diagram in the link below…[Read more]

Some more about WTO schedules written by the WTO attatched.

Above are some words about the UK WTO schedule.

The video is again full of if, maybe, could happen, worst case scenarios. None of it can be tested till we leave. I really like the bit about us imposing trade sanctions upon our selves if we start from a WTO rules base though. Apparently we will join the ranks of north Korea and Russia as a rogue state. WTO rules are only the start of proper…[Read more]

The only reason to visit PC World is to pis… Ahem the only reason to visit PC World is if they have a really good deal on something specific that you knew you wanted anyway and you don’t want to wait for a delivery.

If at all possible reserve online, get in, check the contents of the box, pay and get out. Batting aside the sales people as you…[Read more]

Dire financial predictions are all they have left VFM as they cannot be proved one way or the other until we actually leave. All other objections to leaving can either be solved quite quickly after Brexit or are non issues in the first place. One absolute concrete financial certanty though is that if we leave with no deal we will no longer be…[Read more]

Is there a version of the logitech webcam software for linux ? In the past I found that just installing that got the camera working with everything else on Windows. Something about the kernel mode driver needing a user mode program to communicate with other user mode programs. I believe the problem surfaced again on some systems after the Spectre…[Read more]

Not in my back yard. Stick it in their home counties where they have the space.

Except they dont go out of their way to publish anything. We have Sudbury town residents association keeping an eye out and Brent council have put it in their 5 year plan that they are going to put up a social housing estate at our local park.

They published almost nothing and gave us until 3rd jan to raise a petition against it.

A 5 year plan…[Read more]

I should perhaps also mention that Windows only takes bios settings as a hint. The Windows plug and play manager enumerates all devices at every Boot and assigns resourses for what it finds. All PCI devices have configuration memory and they work with what they are given.

Even installing the i8 something keyboard driver on its own wont work because it dosnt come with an installer that would add it to the Boot start driver list.

It do seem like a lot but pro sound cards often ask for exactly 4 PCIe lanes. Some of them will fall back to as low as one but some wont budge and in that case they get nothing !

Trust me on this. If the OS cant assign enough lanes for a link then the device gets nothing and it may as well not exist.

Legacy devices are odd. They do not respond…[Read more]

Long live X58. More PCIe lane’s than you can shake a sh***y stick at 😂

For a bit more information your PCIe device’s declare the number PCIe lanes they need to establish a link during device enumeration that happens at system boot time. Not enough lanes no link no go 😁

As Mr Rice says you have a budget board there. If your high end sound card really needs 4 or more PCIe lanes to make a link then it wont work. Sorry.

My sister and her then husband brought a terraced farmworkers cottage that was built in the 1840’s. The foundations were nothing more than a few sacks of lime poured directly onto the clay that it stands on.
