It's no Hard Kandy Episode 2, but one of my favourites nonetheless

At least Hard Kandy Episode 2 was mastered properly

Honestly that decision was the pinnacle of phaggotry

nah it's more like windows 7 than 8 IMO, enterprise editions can't upgrade either - you can download the upgrade from Microsoft website if you don't have the notification, that's what I did.

#microsoftrep

I've got whatever version came with my laptop... I got the notification to 'reserve my copy' of 10 just haven't got the next one to say it's downloaded and ready to install

I skipped over ME and skipped over Vista... everything else has been getting progressively better as it goes.

I don't understand people saying that they don't like 8 and 8.1, yes its a big visual change to the Start Menu... but you how often do you actually spend in the Start Menu each day? If it's anything more than 60 seconds over the entire day, you're doing it wrong.

For me I do the logical things:

Pin commonly used programs to the task bar so they're just one click away.

Right click on the task bar -> Properties -> Always launch to desktop

If I need to launch a program that isn't pinned, I tap the windows key on my keyboard, type the first few letters of the program then hit enter... I'm in the start menu for a whole 2 seconds... Please, tell me how that's impeding on my productivity in a negitive way.

I don't get why people are acting like it's a "Tablet OS"... No, it's not... it's the same old desktop that you've used for years, they've just changed a few UI elements to make them touch friendly if you want to hang out in the start menu / those apps all the time. 100% not what you'll be doing if you want to be productive on a PC.

I might be technically inept here

But windows 8 loads up by default not my desktop but the stupid tablet GUI I don't want to know about. How do I make it start up on the desktop so I don't have to click away the tablet shit? Also do not have an easy to access shut down button - must alt F4 my way out.

And just the whole treating everything as an app thing is a dumbing down science that Apple started for idiots who don't know what a program is and can't deal with the complexity of multiple executables for that program or...application...as we called it in our day.

It definitely does compromise for tablets so they can cross platform it - case in point, desktops don't need any of that tablet UI shizzle.

Mine opens to desktop, didn't do anything to make it do that just thought it was the norm as always.

Shit like the calculator etc piss me off.. calculator used to open as a small window, so you could use it while probably calculating shit which was probably on your screen... Now it opens as a f**kin full screen 'app'. Brilliant idea.

Just had a look at it, you can 'split left' and 'split right', so you make it take up half the screen vertically... Shit like that is a pointless 'upgrade' and a step backwards. Not everything needs to be changed for something to be upgraded

on a laggy connection I loath the interface with a passion.

on a local machine it's fine.

but had more bad experiences than good.

I wish ECU's were clear-cut, black & white decision :( making a choice is annoying.

Just ask what everyone else likes then do the opposite.

It's what you will end up doing anyway, why not cut out the middle man?

Haha you psychic. Someone is talking me into some UK 4-cyl specialised shit. Cheaper than most standalones too.

What's so hard Leroy? You drive a Pulsar so basic is what you need: Nistune!

lol phuc u m8

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
