Sorry, I forgot to mention that it was a laptop

 

[ne6togadno]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that it was a laptop

oh.
then nail it to the wall will suite better

call me unimaginative or stupid but sorry cant find better use for E350.
every time i try to figure something, in my head pops out image of flood caused by Rejzor's tears because of lack of driver support for E350 and i am back to hammer&nail or parabola ending in the bin. sry

Clean/sanitize the hard drive / o/s
then Donate it to your local Childrens Home
Kids in need

I got an old AMD-E350 laptop that im not quite sure what to do with.... Its so mediocre at running anything that I really have no idea what else to use it fore.

I have given my daughter one of these but a desktop Very low power usage, so very happy with it still even to this day My daughter uses it for films and storing her pictures on it, I've got to get another PC to build her for gaming or whatever, but I am tempted with Ryzen for that

Running windows 7??

One of my biggest gripes with the platform is that amd broke hardware acceleration on their drivers on windows 7 which means YouTube at anything above 720p became an absolute lagfest. Even with an SSD installed it wasn't much of a huge upgrade due to how easily it was to saturate the cpu

 

[phill]

Yes Windows 7 was used Never any issues with playing even a blu ray on to the TV downstairs as well Was very impressed and even more so with the 22w power consumption whilst it was running too

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

We,ve done well this year. Proof that shouting at your kids actually works.....

 

[phill]

I saw those numbers and my heart sank!! That must save you more than just quite a bit!! Do you supply electric for the street as well??!!

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

£ 764.00 ....... a little over 2 quid spent each day

 

[phill]

It's not soo bad when you say it that way but what did you manage to do to get a drop of over 2000kW??

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

quitting crunching and shouting at the kids....probably in that order.

 

[phill]

When I saw the reply I was laughing out loud How many machines did you normally have crunching? I have just started back up now and I'm just running things when I am at home or if I leave the PC on At the moment a doing a few Tb backup from my server before I hit the update button!!

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

At most it was two x5650 in an Intel server board and one x5670

 

[phill]

The X58 CPU's aren't the most cheap to run that's for sure.. Running a 920 @ 4.5Ghz at idle was hitting about 250w I think from the whole rig, they are quite the power suckers!!

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

im about 320 w playing GTAV

 

[phill]

When I get them up and running sir, I will let you know! I wonder if it's the dual cooling loops or the 7970 that's killing it.. Or failing that was it the SR-2 I was thinking of!! Damn!! lol I'll check

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Am i better off getting my son driving lessons with a national firm or an independent?

 

[dorsetknob]

I Recommend Independent as National firms tend to give more than needed lessons as they are more intrested in selling lessons
while an Independent will give lessons as needed till their pupils reach Test passing Capability

 

[kurosagi01]

Independent for me or local "firms" maybe as national firms like AA tend to try make as much money as possible with near enough 0 progress on the learner itself.
My older brother went AA for 4 lessons and didn't even touch anything like dual carriage way driving etc. Another person went with AA or something and by lesson 10 she still didn't touch anything like roundabouts or dual carriage way.

 

[dorsetknob]

My older brother went AA for 4 lessons

Was it
AA lesson 1
How to Find where your Car is Parked
Lesson 2
How to get in your Car
Lesson3
How to prepare your car for Road Driving
lesson 4
How to Start Your Car
all at £17 an Hour ( i expect)

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

i passed my test first time at 17 and 1 month with no lessons ............. me and my brothers would take turns driving home from school from age 14 because we lived in the back end of beyond along a quiet b road.

I think its a lot more difficult nowadays and hes been reluctant to start. I want him to have a good few "official" lessons as a grounding before i co-pilot him

I Started off Driving the Stolen/Abandoned Bangers Dumped on our local Heath ( from the Age of 12 ish)
it Taught me throttle Clutch and Gear changing and other needed skills like watching out for fellow School friends friends driving with Demolition Derby /banger racing in mind

Good Sensible thoughts

Pretty much it haha.

I learned to drive at age of 17 and passed at age of 18. I started around March time i think is when i started and i passed on my 18th birthday, i went independent and learnt in a 2.0 diesel Vauxhall Zafira lol.

Is it wrong that I actually, quite literally want to murder many of the people I am reading about in the Paradise Papers report on the financial fuckery firm Appleby.

Ther accumulation of wealth and lack of redistribution by what are effectively, shysters, is something that turns my inner core to molten hatred. Wealth is pure evil.
