Playing on Xbox One S

— Posted inGaming, Technology — 2 min read

It supports all the bells and whistles, like 4k and HDR. Games are basically from PC, so if you don’t want to bother installing drivers and other stuff on PC, it’s the way to go. I like the controller very much, but the most important thing, this console is missing a soul, games are all known from PC. I buy used games from local web market or from online shops, can’t get much cheaper than that, but i guess you can have subscription to Xbox games service and download from there if you got a fast line and if you are in the right region. I pretend that Xbox is PS4, i have the same setup that was on PS4, like disabled background music it was boring anyway and wallpaper from Dishonored: Death of the Outsider with blue coloration and it’s like Xbox is a good copy of something. Fallout 4 is a good game, i came very close to the end, Dishonored 1 was good, Forza Horizon 4 is a bit childish but with very good driving, Need for Speed: Heat is also good, they will soon start abandoning this console, less and less new games will be supported in favour of better graphics for new consoles.

Why Linux?

Linux is great, just get proper hardware, not just installing on any today’s hyper machines, it’s not very economical to do that. Well the point is, you don’t need any special high performance system to run Linux, just enough of RAM and SSD would not hurt. Smaller operating system is always faster so that’s that. This days dual boot may not work on UEFI, but no worries you can try Ubuntu on Virtual Box or boot from USB thumb drive or just DVD and test system there. So why Linux, well it saved me about 500€ with not buying a new laptop. If you like games, than get a PlayStation or Xbox, you don’t need gaming PC for that, TV is always bigger than any PC monitor.

Helmet for everything

Still no brain implant for controlling microwave or whatever? Well, this will collect thoughts and converting them to commands over helmet with Bluetooth signals. This will allow to control all range of devices like TV and stupid computers to garage doors and door locks, last two are a maybe not sure how will this work in public or outside. Brain implant will be wireless and charged over helmet so that’s something.

Dynamic Intelligence

We need self-learning routers that will much better protect home users, but i guess you get what you paid for. Internet provider don’t do much for user, it’s not resetting router if something stops working or refresh public IP address, so that’s that. EU needs it’s own Internet shield using open standards, who knows how much holes are in devices already. Remembering and saving passwords in Word type document on external storage like USB thumb drive is recommended, we already sold our souls online to social media. I guess we need Unicode passwords, maybe that will somehow help. Web emails should also log any login, how hard is that?

The Poles Shift
Sometime in 22nd century poles shift occurs and half of earth is flooded. Then come carnivore aliens to eat us but soon some other race contact us to help us.

Jack on the Jack
A comedy that makes fun from the same words but with different meaning.

USB virus

— Posted inSoftware, Technology — 1 min read

It’s not an .exe infection but more like hardware on USB devices. How do i know if i have it, well it’s making mouse pointer sluggish and ports are warm or hot to the touch and sometimes Linux reports USB descriptor error. The main problem is that is spreading over USB ports no mater where you put, like TV, set-op boxes and so on. To bypass the problem, you could use an PS/2 optical mouse, if your system has support for that or maybe a wireless but it’s still USB. Waiting for USB 4.0 is a solution, but who knows how long it will take to get devices on that standard and only on that standard. Where this comes from i don’t know, but it can only be fixed by changing all USB devices with that port to a new one and that’s not a cheap solution. Side effects are, mouse button my stop holding click, try doing circles with brush in any graphics app to see if there are any gaps. Accuracy and speed or movement is affected. LINK
