@vegeta-sm As I told you in my first response, a power failure is a possibility.

If it helps as a reference, I have an MSI M-662 (Core 2 Duo Meron) and it has something similar to yours. When I have two 1Gb modules, memtest shows errors. If I test each one separately in both slots, there is no problem. That laptop went through a pretty heavy operation that involved "unsoldering" the ethernet chip because the internal network had quite a few stability issues. Since then there have been no more stability issues but shortly after the memory problem started, so I blame it on the chipset itself (maybe I scratched something I shouldn't have).

Well, the one who bought a mobile phone with that OS is going to be happy.

@Bm4n It's normal. The truth is that I don't know how to set the TTS. I don't know if it's the system's or Sygic's; it's a woman who seems a bit depressed. When there's a voice test in Sygic, it works. I usually have it connected via bluetooth (where the warning beeps are heard). The volume is at maximum when Sygic is started.

@Namiga I don't know why I wasn't logged in. Now I am but it still doesn't work

I already have the Lenovo, and it's really great, it's not very different from the MSI, but the screen quality is definitely different. As for the keyboard, no stickers, I'm getting used to it. And I'll use an external hard drive, I usually don't need more.

@Rosangeles It won't get hot enough to cook macaroni, but as Fassou points out, it looks like a textbook throttling.
If you don't have the budget for a new machine, take it to a very reliable service center and have it properly maintained.
While you're at it, have the HDD replaced with an SSD of at least 128 GB, and if the replaced HDD is in good health, put it in an external USB enclosure for extra storage.
The total cost of the operation will be much less and you'll significantly improve performance.

I think the issue is that you configured the monitor (external) from Windows, as an additional screen.

But so that you can see the BIOS, that is, that the external monitor always works, you will have to use the keyboard shortcut, which in some is Fn + F2 (for yours it is better to put a photo of those keys, to see which one it is).

In some it has three states, one for the laptop monitor, another for the external one, and another in which they work simultaneously.

Of course, all this is usually explained in the laptop manual

Salu2!

@cobito said in New Spectrum Next:

An FPGA is a programmable transistor array. That means it can be wired to create logic gates as you want. If you program an FPGA to make an AND gate, internally within the FPGA there is physically an AND gate; it's not a program that behaves like the gate but a gate itself.

To wire an FPGA, a programming language like VHDL or Verilog is used. These languages may look similar in syntax to software programming languages like C but they are very different. They are not sequential, that is, they are not executed line by line. The only thing they do is wire the logic of the FPGA. They are just a tool to modify the hardware. It's not software that runs inside the hardware, it's software that defines the hardware: real hardware, not emulated hardware.

In fact, you can program a Kaby Lake with VHDL, send it to have the ASIC made, and have physical processors that have been created based on that code. The only thing the code does is say which gates are connected to which gates.

I don't know if I explained myself.

You explain yourself perfectly.
What I was referring to is that to implement that hard, a soft is used... and the one who implements it "can" not know everything that needs to be known about the hard to be programmed... and may not "recreate" exactly the functioning of the original hard... only what may interest them.
That's why I refer to a soft emulation, and my assertion may be incorrect.

The reality is that I don't see much sense in spending time and money on it, if there are already perfectly functional software emulators.

In the style of cars... a fantastic concept car, in this case a Concept Sinclair

If the description says win10 pro, it has to be licensed, right?

Ok!!!
I take note.
Thank you for your advice...

Thanks Fassou!

Well it's curious, I've tried Aimp, Black Player and Neutron and they all have done what I want even after restarting the phone. I'll stick with the one that allows me to select just one folder as the audio source and updates the playlist automatically, and within that, the simplest one.

What you say is a good idea, not to use the same player as the one that is set by default.

I'll keep testing tomorrow.

Xiaomi mobiles have a simplified menu option for older people, I don't know if there will be a menu of this style in the google store. It greatly reduces what you can do with the mobile, but avoids complications, and changes the interface to something similar to metro, which looks pretty good on mobiles.

It is an option that you can consider.

It has a very strange behavior. In my time of passing VHS to DVDs I could verify that when the video was noisy, the capture card (as hardware video compression) sometimes froze. When I managed to digitize that video, when playing it back either on the computer or on a DVD player (in DVD format not DivX or anything like that) sometimes it also froze. But the thing is that in those videos sometimes an exaggerated amount of artifacts appeared. In contrast in this case, the video looks perfect and besides the blocking does not occur instantly. It looks like it has a software solution and the truth is that it is a fault that is difficult to detect in the development phase.

I don't know the technical details of the malware they have included in the mobiles but the problem goes beyond the operating system that is used. The Linux code is open but that doesn't give any guarantee that a Linux system can be free of malware. I'm not talking about it being able to be infected but about it being distributed infected.

A very cool manufacturer can sell its terminals and publish next to it the source code of all the software that comes standard so that anyone can audit it. The problem is that this software comes compiled on the phone and the compiled firmware could come from another source. Checking if a compiled program comes from a specific source code is not at all easy since the result depends on the hardware and software installed where the compilation is performed. Debian is working on this aspect.

I say this because the fact that now other operating systems appear that are supposedly more secure implies absolutely nothing. The only way to have a 100% reliable system is for us to download the source code of each program that we are going to install, audit it ourselves, compile it and then install it.

While the traffic of personal data continues to be such a profitable business, our privacy will depend only on the good faith (and diligence) of the manufacturers who foist their precompiled software on us.

And well, here comes into play once again the attitude of the consumers. The authentic reality is that the vast majority couldn't care less about this issue and that makes it very unlikely that anything will change.

It's like the stupidity that Macs don't have viruses. It's not that there weren't security holes, it's just that it wasn't as profitable to develop a virus for macOS as it was for Windows because of the number of users. If a platform increases in number of users, it's normal that the number of malware developers interested in finding security flaws increases, it's the law of supply and demand.

Android and iOS have a very high number of users, with very juicy user information, it's normal that they try to crack it, and there's one thing that's clear, with enough time and interested people, a security flaw is always found.

It's something that happens all the time, you'll remember the scandal with the laptop batteries that caught fire about 5 or 6 years ago. If it happens in a couple of units it's not news but if there are dozens of units catching fire from a top-selling model from the first mobile phone manufacturer, and it costs €700, the scandal quickly jumps. This happens regularly with iPhone problems, they're not always important things, but in this case they talk about losses of more than 15,000 million.

We live in an era with batteries, so let the one without sin...

Well I didn't have time to wait for your responses since the colleague saw there was one left on amazon and got the fx7500 for 328€ so he's trying it out for the moment to see how it goes, thanks for responding.

There is already a desire. Yesterday it left the starting point, now to wait and hope that everything goes well. I already have one of my tablets promised and another one that I will almost certainly donate to one of the children from disadvantaged families that a work colleague is taking.

I swear I have already replied here…

The Note 7, it's official that they are withdrawing it and stopping its distribution because of the battery issue.
The Xiaomi/Meizu (I really like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4) offer good performance and are relatively well priced; considering that they usually have Helio processors.
I don't like the Sony ones at all.
An all-terrain phone, of good quality, for me the Samsung S7...
...that said, if I could, an iPhone with its good JB. ;D

It all depends on your needs, if as you mention in the second to last line you need mobility and autonomy I would go for the MacBook.
A few years ago I made a similar change for the same reason, a Lenovo Y560 for a 13' Macbook Pro (the PRO) and it was an excellent change. I left it with 8GB of RAM and to virtualize and do everything I needed for university.

Greetings!
