Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Battlefield 3 is now more stable after launch issues.

RAGE Ultra Quality

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Rage looks good by default, but I tweaked configs to use my PC’s resources. Since the UI has few options, changes go in rageConfig.cfg. Steps: set Steam launch options (+com_skipIntroVideo 1, g_fov 96, etc.), then create/edit rageConfig.cfg in steamapps/common/rage/base and paste the provided config. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: After updating to NetBeans 7 final, I get “JVM creation failed” at startup. Cause: on 64-bit systems with >4GB RAM, NetBeans memory detection fails. Fix: edit netbeans.conf in /etc/, in netbeans_default_options add: -J-Xmx512m inside quotes. If it still fails, lower the value. ...

Ein Tag im Leben eines Password Hashs

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I discuss hashes due to recent data leaks (Sony, Ashampoo). Passwords should be stored as hashes, not plaintext. Hashing isn’t encryption; it can’t be reversed. Example with digit sum shows collisions. Common algorithms: MD5, SHA; others include Whirlpool, Tiger, RipeMD, Haval, Adler32. Example: 12345 -> md5, SHA-1, Haval. ...

Neuer Staubsauger Roboter von Samsung

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Almost exactly 2 years with my Samsung Hauzen vacuum. What I like versus Roomba/RBot: semi-intelligent room mapping via camera, instead of random cleaning. Works inconsistently, not in the dark. Mine was imported from Korea, speaks Korean with voice output. New EU model: Samsung NaviBot SR-8845, about €312.50, includes virtual wall and Edge mode. ...

XBMCfritz - Fritzbox XBMC Windows Callermonitor

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. For users using a AVM Fritzbox and XBMC in a Windows environment, I put together a tiny tool to display incoming Calls on the Screen of your XBMC Mediacenter. If you put it in your system’s autostart, it will automatically connect to your Fritzbox and monitor incoming calls. As soon as an incoming call is recognized, it sends a notification Message to the Screen of your XBMC and pauses the currently running Movie. ...

Planned: save config, dialog duration, pause or mute option, caller name mapping via text file. Testers with Fritzbox welcome. ...

Pagespeed – Distinct / Static Hosts

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I discuss using distinct hosts to improve page speed. Browsers limit connections per host; older ones to 4–8. Many page elements cause repeated handshakes and overhead. Example: de.png is 129 bytes, but HTTP exchange is 1,822 bytes. Steps include DNS, TCP handshake, request/response, data transfer, ack. ...

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Post is about Dragon Age: Origins DLC issues on PC, especially with Steam. DLC is handled via Games for Windows Live despite Steam. Preorder keys unlock multiple DLCs. Theory: redeem code and download in-game. In practice, many see empty DLC menus despite login. Solution varies; first ensure codes are redeemed. ...
