6G Celicas Forums

Now that I have a spare CPU (i3 370m) I'm wondering if I should give my pfsense box an upgrade under the hood. I found this...

I could pretty much triple the processing power. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i3-370M...Intel-Atom-D525 it's way faster at single core stuff so I could probably run havp without any lag.

This reminds me I need to build a new PC, or I could buy car parts

Same.....same.

Ditto. Honestly I'm surprised at ten years old the laptop still does everything I need it to, then again my demands aren't that high.

I found that just running a lighter Linux based OS, adding some more RAM if under 4GB, and installing a SSD makes even 5 year old hardware feel incredibly new. If you have a socketed CPU then you're even luckier as mobile processors about 5 years old are cheap cheap cheap. The Intel i series stuff holds up pretty well as time marches on it seems, I don't even bother with anything that's older than DDR3 memory now since DDR2 has risen in price so sharply.

****ing hell, Kuromukuro episode 11 isn't out with english subs yet! Aired on the 16th in Japan, usually it's a 24hr turn around time to get subs, but nothing except spanish subs yet. Argh.

Psssh, don't need subs watch it raw.

Believe me, I tried. I don't understand Japanese fluently enough to get all the dialog but I can understand giant robots fighting and girls screaming so...most of it comes through just fine.

I know enough to survive if I woke up in Tokyo one day, but that's about it. Giant robots and screaming girls, a staple of the anime industry. I need to get back into working through my extensive backlog but I have the bad habit of starting and then not being able to stop, DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGERS.

In the mean time I'm re-watching Macross Frontier. Still no eng subs for ep 11 of Kuromukuro tho. May need to give up and wait a few weeks then binge on 3-4 episodes once they get caught up.

I have to wait for an arc to finish so I can watch it all at once, I need instant gratification.

I set MPlayer to advance to the next file automatically.

So there's a song from Macross Frontier that I wanted to listen to but damned if I can find it, so I'm downloading the whole OST.

Some time ago I bought World Rally Championship 4 on Steam for my PC. With PC you can just plug an Xbox controller into the USB and it's G2G.
But for some reason I could never get it to work right until just recently AMD updated their Catalyst software and now since the update Steam works and I can play my game.
And WRC 4 turns out to be a decent game, yet it has no Celica and is therefore inexcusably Fxxcking Lame. So I am going to get Dirt Rally instead, which is also available on Steam.
I've always been a big fan of Gran Turismo and I love realistic racing simulators that are too hard for most people, but lately I have been bitten by the Rally bug and so I want an off-road game - one with a Celica.

Here's a clip of the replay and different camera angles from Dirt Rally with the Casterol ST205

Gran Turismo has rally courses and the WRC ST205. I'm trying to remember but I think 4 tried to make rally a notable aspect of the game, but I guess a lot of people complained as it's just kind of there in 5 and 6. I'm looking forward to Gran Turismo Sport, seems like they're finally addressing a lot of the wants and desires of the fan base. Between it and the Skyrim remaster for the PS4 I have things to look forward to.

Gonna be halving the sense resistor on this board to double the current to the LED's to boost the light output from this:

(it's the square spot)

To hopefully about double the light output.

Finally boosted that LED spot pod, 23W is the current power consumption, up from the initial 8W consumption. I'm nearly as the advertised power output now and it's cranking out some pretty dazzling bright light but the color temp is a little less desirable and the heat output has increased quite a bit. All in all, success though, now to find a purpose. I might replace my halogen fog lights with these and tie them into the high beam circuit to get more high beam power on the Mazda, I'm not entirely sure just yet. I need to do some longer term torture testing where I leave it on for an hour or more to see if it melts itself down or not. If it'll handle an hour constantly on when stationary I'd feel safer putting it on a vehicle. It's about a 10x10 spot at 250ft which is pretty tight for a LED pod.

I'd do some testing myself as well, I'd also spritz them with a water bottle to try and emulate rain. Much rather them explode during testing that on the car when it starts raining.

So currently playing Skyrim Special Edition on the PS4, uncanny the difference compared to the original on PS3. Then again it's more or less the game that was available to those with super gaming computers ever since it came out. If I had a 4K television I'd be more concerned with upgrading to the PS4 Pro, but if they could get the VR to work with this that'd be the coolest thing ever and probably a leading cause in unemployment and failed relationships.

I just found this site http://www.iracing.com/
It's like an online racing MMORPG and I think I'm going to go out and get a feedback steering wheel so that I can play it

Just recently sold my old Sandy Bridge custom water-cooled gaming PC, Have moved to:
- i7 6700k
- Corsair H100i GTX V2 CPU cooler
- MSI Z170 Tomahawk Mobo
- Asus STRIX GTX1070 OC GPU
- 32GB Corsair LPX Red DDR4 RAM
- 256GB NVMe M.2 SSD (Will be upgrading to either an Intel or Samsung 1TB M.2 SSD soon).
- Asus AC1200 PCIe Wireless
- Corsair RM650 PSU
- Corsair SPEC-ALPHA Black-Red Case


Will probably be selling the 6700k CPU and moving to a 7th gen when it hits the Australian market. 7th gen laptops have only just hit the market here and the desktop CPUs are expected next year. But This may not eventuate due to circumstances in my life changing in the past 2 weeks.
