Windows 8 Upgrade

Recommended Posts

update: just pulled the TV tuner out of my pc to get model numbers off the chipset, a quick google and i have found the BDA drivers and im a happy camper again

i have a 120gb Sata3 ssd Ryan and from power on to using windows is about 30secs including POST

SSDs are ruining the computer user experience.

I remember when I'd hit the power button, then have time to go and get a coffee before it had booted into the OS. Now my MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD boots in about 20-30s, and I don't have time.

Dad's new Win7 machine with 60GB Vertex SSD is about the same.

It bothers me.

Haha I'm hearing you, someone has already made a USB coffee warmer but what about one that boils the water first

Funnily enough, I have one of those mug warmers. Need a coffee machine I can control via the web/smart phone.

^^ awesome

i am sort of deciding whether or not to buy Start8 start bar, i know there are free ones but the free one i tried doesn't look as polished as start8

I'm pretty sure there is a registry tweak that is surfacing. If I find it I'll let you know, might save the purpose ;)

Also for anyone that isn't partial to Metro being your start up screen, use this - Skip Metro Suite

Few little tweaks with that app that might prove useful for some.

that above samsung is a tablet, docked its a laptop like all are - and running full windows. The costs is a kick in the nuts.

They are releasing the windows RT units first and holding back all full win8 units to get some sales for the RT.

    • Neostead, I'm looking to have a custom surround done that also has a slot for a fog light. Would you be willing to create a 3d model I can buy or create and ship me the part or even provide/sell the current model for me to modify? Cheers
    • Did some maintenance on the MX5, did the engine oil and filter which was uneventful, then I drained the coolant to put in the new reservoir and a thermostat, reservoir took 5 minutes  The thermostat, well that took.........3 bloody hours, what a job, the issue was the 3 bolts holding it on, one was easy, 2 were hidden and required a few 1/4 drive extensions, 1 more than I had, and a 1/4 swivel, which I also didn't have, and a good amount of playing contortionist  Getting the 2 unseen bolts back on was a time consuming nervous nightmare, as I couldn't see where they went there was alot of stabbing and hoping for the best, trying to line up a 8 mm bolt straight, which you cannot actually see or get a hand in there, with a 1/4 swivel in the mix was a nightmare Anyways, it's done now, all burped out, and run up to temp a few times, happily no leaks thank Jebus After the thermostat fiasco I decided I need a few mental health days away from tools before doing the rest of the servicing on it As for the Dunnydoore, it had the aircon regassed and it has a clean bill of health, thinking about taking it out on Monday for a cruise down the coast to look at some houses if weather permits 
    • In other important race car news, instead of fixing the race car I changed the crank seals on the chainsaw, because wood burner Some damn tight (and lock tighted) m6 head bolts Who knew plastic crank cases were a thing! Quick tip, don't trust the youtube videos that say you can pull the old seals out with the head on in a husky 440e...not true, their crank seal tucks in behind the cover both sides. I'm not sure I'm a psychopath, but these things are damn loud....hope I can put all the bits back in the right place    Happily, it is now back to turning fallen trees into a combination of firewood logs and wood chips....just need a clear day to get into it properly
    • I've got 60L of e85 in there at the moment
    • Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.
