    P2P Issues

    I have not been using any of the 2P2 networks for a few years now. Yesterday I tried "Kaaza." What a POS!. All it did was fill my PC with Spyware. After I uninstalled it I still ended up with ten extra running processes and I have no idea what they are doing! Next I tried my old favorite "LimeWire," and it was worse yet! LimeWire tried to rewrite my Xp regestry. My Ad-Aware logged over 5,000 attempts in thirty or forty seconds. I uninstalled the LimeWire and now my PC is sick. Add on proggies like Nero and MagicDVD do not work at all. It also takes the PC forever to shutdown now. So if you want to play with these P2P services be ready to reprogram your PC just like I'll be doing shortly!

    There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

          btw try hitman pro
          www.hitmanpro.nl
          should clear your spyware issues.
          also try malwarebytes.

              utorrent is awesome. I use utorrent and I've never been happier. Limewire is also another favourite of mine and works well most of the time. Kazaa is total shit because I had to reformat my PC after installing it.... it fille my PC up with spyware, viruses etc.

                  emule and utorrent.
                  giganews is ridiculous to me; you pay for pirated stuff.
                  it makes no sense.
                  although yeah, it's faster.

                  but even with longest retention possible you still can't find everything you can on p2p.

                      eMule wins, hands down.
                      No spyware, no problems and unlike uTorrent (any torrent) it does not reveal you IP.

                      Only one drawback for new users - speed is directly proportional to the number of credits that come from others downloaded anything from you. Hence new user = relatively poor speed...

                          Then eMule isn't good then! Because it looks like a fair amount of ISPs have about a 5 GB per-month total limit!

                          So eDonkey may penalize me for not exceeding my monthly total!

                          And DC is worse! Some servers will deliberately disconnect you unless you pretty much exceed the ISP monthly total limits! Thus, catch 22!

                                  Hi, trying to troubleshoot some problems with this laptop I just finished repairing which had power issues (Burnt Buck converter - SY8883DFC shorted to ground).

                                  After repairing the above issue, I realized the following remaining problem,
                                  Sound only comes from bottom speakers, top palmrest speakers don't work. Neither does the headphone jack (static/buzzing).
                                  The computer recognizes headphones are connected and displays a popup in windows
                                  Sometimes, the computer will boot up and the sound will be working fine. However, if I run intensive programs and the computer...

                                  Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH - Ideapad 3 well known solder joint issues
                                  by Nagyesz
                                  I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH, which has started exhibiting the well-known issues of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3.

                                  All stress tests run perfectly, and there are no performance issues. However, the solder joints are almost certainly starting to fail. If the top two screws on the back are not screwed in, moving the screen results in a BSOD or, in some cases, a slight artifact and freeze. This is a 2023 notebook..

                                  How can I extend its lifespan? Could reflow help?

                                  It has ryzen 5 5500h, rtx 2050, no soldered ram.

                                  Example of the artifacts:

                                  Asus Rog strix g15 g513ih hn0865 and it's having display issues while running on igpu
                                  by Skgod
                                  Hey I am having Asus Rog strix g15 g513ih hn0865 and it's having display issues while running on igpu. Works fine when I open any game or whatsapp windows application. The issues are :
                                  Black screen, freeze
                                  The weird thing is that when as long as the laptop is running on igpu the problem keeps happening. But as soon as I open any game or whatsapp windows application, the laptop works completely fine.
                                  When the screen freeze or black screen I used to move the display lid up and down and it usually works like that.
                                  So can anyone tell me what would be the possible cause?...

                                  A2141 (2019 16" MB Pro) Strange macOS install issues. NAND? WIFI? FIRMWARE?

                                  Hi All.

                                  Sorry ahead of time for the text wall. This is a strange problem and I have tried to explain it as best I can. I realise this is a hardware forum (mostly), but I am still not sure if this is even a hardware fault! I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me in the area of understanding installation logs, or someone that has had a similar issue in the past may have some ideas of what might be causing this.

                                  The issue:
                                  Unable to do a clean install of any macOS versions supported for this model, even after fully erasing and formatting the internal SSD,...
