    Unity Game Engine

    I'll swap your boring meeting for my day! Rushing to get prototype hardware out the door today to a customer. Just tried updating the firmware via memory stick only to find that the software wouldn't boot, eventually traced the fault down to my pc utility which generates the encrypted and...

    Unity Game Engine

    It was all about the assembler in those days, I don't think I wrote a single game in 'C'. Although saying that, while everybody else at college was struggling to write a simple "database" program in pascal (single line read then move to the next field), mine featured a full graphical GUI with...

    Unity Game Engine

    These kids these days don't realise how easy it all is nowadays! ;) Mode X was where it was in the DOS days..its interesting having to draw a frame every 4th pixel at a time...otherwise big speed penalty. My Michael abrash book still sits on the bookshelf!

    Compiling C Help

    Not entirely sure why you'd want it as a 64 bit binary.....but......add -arch x84_64 to the CFLAGS in the makefile. You obviously didn't have the right path added to the Makefile for the include search folder if "#include <mysql.h>" didn't work.

    Compiling C Help

    Requires a bit of tinkering under OS X. I can get it to compile after modifying the makefile to point to the correct include and lib folders and source files to remove the mysql prefix from the mysql includes, but OS X is missing libcrypt so it won't link and I can't be arsed to find a working...

    Then again, this thread is about iPhone speakers.

    Bose or Sonos

    Poor. Didn't bother reading after the opening words included "audio enthusiasts"- a select group of people who could be outwitted by dappy. Btw, the Soundlink mini is awesome.

    Soundlink mini is full of win. We bought one at Christmas and it's brilliant.

    Google Nexus 5

    Still on the N4, the N5 didn't really bring anything to the table for me from the N4 so I didn't see the point in changing...if I'd been on something else it'd have been a different story. The wife was still on her iPhone 4, I tried convincing her to get an N5 but she just said "Your phone is...

    iPad Issue - Poor customer service

    Here's news for you. Apple don't care about you, while you may think that spending 2k over a year with them shows (or deserves) some sort of loyalty, the harsh fact is that it's nothing and that for every pound you don't spend with them somebody else will. I think they were pretty reasonable...

    PS3 Hacked

    Whenever I have to use an 8 or 16 bit compiler I always find a compiler bug.

    PS3 Hacked

    Hell yeah, I love low level stuff....I guess that's why 95% of what I do is embedded. The BBC micro is one of the greatest computers of all time - which reminds me, I must fix the power supply on mine because it went up in smoke before christmas. Yanky old capacitors.....

    PS3 Hacked

    I never had a yaroze, I did have an early model PS1 with the expansion port which allowed direct bus access.....this coupled with one of those DATEL interfaces for cheating in games allowed you to run your own code. I had all sorts of crap that I wrote running on the PS1, same for the...

    Ghost n goblins is one of the best of all time. I built an arcade controller about 10-12 years ago to use with mame.

    Sky VS Virginmedia what you got?

    Sh2 is better than the sh1....I got mine for free anyway as I was one of the original testers.

    Sky VS Virginmedia what you got?

    I was at the start! Jump took be right to the end of an hour recording.

    Sky VS Virginmedia what you got?

    Holding jump takes me to the end of the recording. Useful. Back scrolls backwards through the guide. Its designed by imbeciles.

    Sky VS Virginmedia what you got?

    They roll out updates in stages. I bet you've only just got Netflix right?

    Sky VS Virginmedia what you got?

    There you go. Unintuative! :p What's the point in having a jump button if you can't press it to jump, you have to hold it? There is no back button.

    Sky VS Virginmedia what you got?

    Well...seeing as you asked nicely. Playing a recording, want to jump forward 15 mins? Oh, I'll just press the "jump forward" button. No. First you have to press Fast Forward, and then you can use the jump buttons. Accidentally press a button and end up in a menu while watching a...

    It's as slow as ever, we've had the update for months.

    Sky VS Virginmedia what you got?

    The TiVo interface is awful. It's unintuitive, it's slow, it's riddled with many options that require a double click (nested menus) for no apparent reason. Have I mentioned it's slow? However, the experience of it using it with the iPad app is just brilliant, it's how it should be on the box...

    I've noticed the battery improvement as well. I wasn't sure whether I was imagining it though!

    Google Nexus 4

    My n7 got the update last night, but it b0rked due to cwm. Restored the factory image this morning and its all up and running now.

    Mobile Phone Signal Boosters

    What you actually got is your very own mobile cell which uses your internet connection to connect to the main network, so its no wonder you get full strength signal. Op has a voda femto cell, but it doesn't work too well with his internet connection. Although clever they still have a need for...

    Received what from three? I bet it wasn't one of these and was a femto cell.
