Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Besides Battlefield, I’m playing Skyrim on PC. It looks great and is fun to explore. I’m early in the story, so no full review. Skyrim is very moddable; the fanbase is huge. I use the “Enhanced Skyrim 1.0” pack (Top 15 mods: 2K textures, fixed models, better lighting, sky). The clouds and day/night cycles are impressive; bushes and grass sway in the wind. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Battlefield 3 has been playable in Germany for two weeks; I’ve spent about 30 hours. I’m summarizing tested tips, focusing on facts and myth-busting, excluding technical tweaks (see my earlier tweak guide). Tanks: grenades can’t destroy them; C4 and AT mines are best; jet MG hurts tanks more than mortars. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Battlefield 3 is now more stable after launch issues. You can optimize via limited config tweaks; use Notepad++ and update GPU drivers (NVIDIA/ATI). Don’t use WordPad/Word to edit configs.

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. ...

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. ...

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. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Dragon Age 2 has many PC issues. I summarize major errors and fixes. Issue: cannot save or autosave, mostly on Core i7 with Hyperthreading. Fix: disable Hyperthreading in BIOS or set CPU affinity to one core; beta patch available.

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. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I built a C# tool for Windows XBMC with a Fritzbox: connects and reads call logs, filters them, shows incoming call notifications in XBMC, and pauses playback. Planned: save config, dialog duration, pause or mute option, caller name mapping via text file. Testers with Fritzbox welcome. ...
