      I’m not a Chromecast fan,bit do think it give the best picture quality. And mine is the origanl one, bit whatever they do, it makes the fire TV and the roku look bad, and actually neither do, Netflix on the CC just looks brilliant.


      @drezha
      , check out grand tour from number 4 , miss out the two Xmas specials (crap), lastweeks was also terrible. But all the rest are actually good. With the exception of the dead guest feature and the yank in a car, neither work for me.

        Cheers Lee, it will be interesting to see what you can grab. As using the what’s my IP, that sees the proxy IP, and the make of my phone, bit it gets confused as it gets the specs wrong, as if my browser is reporting back, and the server’s browser /os like on the lest earlier , as it gets the specs form the sever. The IP from there, and can see two os’s and reports mostly on the server’s spects.

        Strange. Show I’m mostly secure and with a few steps could tighten it up. I don’t think any VPN is going to save you from Java and WebRTC. You need to manage that yourself. I may be wrong though .

          It’s not good enough, sont has offed simple game capture once day one, it is simple capture and upload, it doesn’t allow for editing or rendering after the fact, plus you can’t do pip, mix mutiple sound channels  in and out, they  need game sound, Skype in (or team speak) plus mic in and the ability to fade in and out. What the kids do today, would of been enough to get you a job at the been or sky 10 years ago. And this is all while concentrating on gaming.

          Then after that he sits down edits it and render it overnight, and uploads before school, privatly youTube, then they spend lunch reviewing each others highlight clips.

          So simple capture and upload is not what the kids do. It’s ok to grab something spare of the moment, but it doesn’t sell the console. It’s like box ticking, one console had it so the other, does it a bit better and so on.

          plus his circle is Sony this time around. They was 360 last time out. Don’t was stonger out the gate, and cheaper buy £100, and the offer thdir fantastic PlayStation network library subscription service that makes it super cheap and means I only need to buy 1 game a year, FIFA . Which falls on his birthday each year. :good:

            @tippon currently connected via china, just playing and see my screen shot for the speed I got. No slowdowns here.

              @ed maybe. Having a closer look it doesn’t say anything bad about webGL or rather what is or isn’t leaking, it just says your browser’s supports it and it’s enabled, and that webGL has possible insecurities , so disable it if you don’t use it.

              It’s picking up my device time via Java withing the browser. Java also leaks what is I’m using , bit the test picks up two os’s , I’m assuming mine and the server ,  it say multiple os picked up android and Linux .

              The rest also says I have a WebRTC leak, local IP, bit with my VPN on it’s definitely no leaking my local IP, with it off, it says 192.168.x.xx , which is definitely not want you want being logged as that pinpoints you, but rather it says an IP I don’t recognise at all, maybe it’s the ip of the server  connecting too, but I don’t think so as no matter where I concur to I’m the world , so far tried us , Russia,China and currently ire, it give the same mysterious  IP .

              I’m not going ot lie, im new to this . But it’s intresring non the less.

              @admin can you see what my IP is showing as at your end, and pm it me please. If you can all the data my browser is pumping out. I’m sure you can get that cant you?

                I get why they didn’t go to Saudi. The mystery to me is why Afghan. Medial opium maybe? It’s not like we accomplished a single thing there.

                The higharchy was never there,they was in Saudi, and Pakistan. Nether is a secret, but both nations have actual power. It’s always baffeled me why Afghan. I can only agime it’s rather big pharma wanted access to opium at levels they wasn’t allowed to grow stateside or , and more likely, a proxy war for Saudi , for reasons unknown to use ATM.

                All Afghan did along with Iraq is cause more hatred towards the west, and cause greatest instability and a vacume for terrorists to thrive and recruit.

                All thought the Afghan campaign, I cringed every time they called the Taliban terrorists , we was never asked there, we imviaded them, we was the actual terrorist, by the true definition. We was only ligtamised as being there on behalf of the Afghan government once we installed our puppet.

                I’m not defending the Taliban, I wouldn’t want my daughter to marry one, but I trully believe if we wouldn’t of gone on our fake revenge adventure, and killed 100s of thousands of civilians, (there and Iraq ) the Taliban would of just continue to plod along as this small whako movement. Instead we added huge amounts of fuel to the fire, and game non radical Muslims a reason to fight us.

                Not to mention we lost the Iraq war badly, it’s not spoke about much, but when the last British bases left the COs had to broker deals with the cities mayor’s to allow us to leave. We fled Iraq and left it to the Taliban, now Isis.

                We then then went back there to recruit the mercenaries to for the Syrian freedom fighters, remember them, the ones we fast publicly funding , arming and giving the training , both us and America, to topple Assad, (even though 18moths prior Assad was doing tours of the US and EU as guests) , untill Russia internationally put America and Obama in his place, when the beeb and us media was trying to say Russia was warmongering, giving Assad Tanks and Helos, Putin turned round and pointed out He actually had the law on his side, and it was NATO that was acting illegally.

                We then silently distance ourselves from the ‘freedom fighters’ publicly and rebranded them Isis.

                Basically we was out manovered by Putin, and lost control of our proxy Army.

                This whole mess in Syria is about oil and gas pipes, and is the outcome of 20 years of horrific foreign policy regarding the middle East. And after all the mess we have made, we get out manovered by Russia at the last hurdle.

                We are a joke. I’m no Putin fan, hold no grudge against Russia, they are just doing  what they think is in there national intrest just as we have been doing. It’s just at this moment, they seem to be doing a better job at it. I suppose that is the benifites of being a dictator, you can think and plan long-term.

                  This was reported a few months back, I really most who spoke about it , one jauz2cents, reckoned it was a gimmick as the os (w10) hads such little overheads today, you’ll get hardly any benifit at all. Especially if your a gamer with a semi decent rig. The worse your rig the better the benifts, but again it would be marginal.

                  One concern tjey  had was most kids today copture all their game play, and have Skype running plus a browser, so would all this work I’m gsme mode?

                  My kid is definitely in that category , he actually asked for a card to capture his console play to In 1080p, for Xmas, but I never got him one. Given he got a tablet, phone and bmx. But no dount he will get one sooner than later. Their price is falling month by month also.

                  Maybe the future of capturing PC gaming is on a cpturs card, as capturing gameplay had a big hit on preformanc. For example an hour of gameplay can take up 30gb plus of raw data depending on quality and codecs used.so handing that off to an external card with a ssd is far cheaper than a CPU upgrade.

                    What is a GSD? Same with our pup, she was shunned by her mother at 4 weeks, so I bottle fed her for atleast 4 weeks , and now she thinks I’m rather her mother or husband lol.

                    My other dog the boy, is compleat diffent I’m temperament, he will sit you for about an hour of the day at most , but spend s most of his time lay halfway up the stairs a sleep. The girl just lay omy lap.

                    Luckily she is timely, even for a shistzu , the boy is big and a great specimen, everyone who knows the breed is always impressed with him, and as would we bread him. We had him done though . The girl is the definition of a runt, and sadly has been bread and bread to death, to the point she had hardly any snout and had had difficulties as a pup breathing. She sounded like a pig, now she just snores rotten. Hence why she doesn’t sleep with me. Lol.

                    What she does have going for her though is her lovable needy tepremt. The boy is aloof , and I think he feels he is to good for us most of the time. Lol.

                      Lol, I do the same with the dogs, I’ll creep out the bed room and down to the office, not to wake them.

                      I’ve just woke the kids up and now tired again, have an appointment at 11, so I’m gonna try and grab an hour now and let wifey sort the kids out. I usually do it being I’m always up.

                      Got some paperwork done I’m the night so not all waisted time. Best thing about being awake at night is the house is silent. Asking as the dogs are asleep. My girl dog the one we had had to bottle feed demands to sit on my knee when I’m my presence so it gets cramped under my desk, with her omy knee (good job she isn’t much bigger than a cat), and my boy dog curled around my feet.

                      Thou at night they sleep with the kids mostly, the giirl I’m the girsls room, and not on the lads room, both on the top bunks. So if I wake them I have to go in and lift them down. Otherwise they howl on the beds. Some the girl dog will jump down, but not in the dark.

                        I fell sleep just before midnight, and I’ve just given up trying to get back to sleep. It’s current 03:58  and spent the last 20 minutes begging my body to have two more hours!

                            #I’m luckier than you bob, I get to watch it set at a decent time each day, but sadly, I don’t get the to after 10am mid summer. I usually time it with walking the dogs along the mountain path. It’s an old disuaed rail line, that was tard over about 6 years ago. It runs right along the edge of the mountain . Is resedents use the old station carpark to park. The old station has just had an envelop scheam finished to save the building while we raise money as a community to repurpose the billing. We just secured £3m of loto funds, the council’s give is half, and we have to raise a further £1m most of it is in place. Taken about 5 years in the making.

                            The referb in reality could be done for £300k, bit as it’s listed, and we have to use certain approved contactors the costs are astronomical.

                              I love cars, but hate working on them. To cold, to much bending and I hate oily hands. I could get over the oily hands of bit cold and bending and lying on concrete is not good for a bad back.

                              Also I have a knack or breaking plastic tabs.y BiL is an aircraft engineer , so is quite good with cars, and where I’ll be genterly trying to get a trim piece off and ultimately break it anyway, he is so heavy handed and just gets them off, really demascates a man. Kicking I’m good with building ,or atleast was, bit still good with technique and a good problem solver, where he isn’t, so I get some points back there. Lol.

                              I do love watching a lathe on action, wood and metal. More and more I see metal working as a future hobby. Check out ‘make it extreme’ channel on YouTube, the guy is a genius .

                               

                              Bob noting against fords, my dirt offal car fax a mk3 escort van 1991, and the only car I had a real crash in (that I was driving ) was a 2003 fiesta and it disintegrated perfectly and I walked away. Also we was a ford house growing up, XR3i for mum and 1.8 seirras for dad.

                              The neighbour had a sapire cosworth ,that I lived, bit the fact the day before I set off to boot camp I watch it crack and kill an 18 yo tarnished it for me. Being so dam fit I was first on the screen. It wasn’t pretty.

                                The republicans are about mental anyhow, so I can see how trump got there. They maybe the conservative party, but they have a very diffent take on conservativism

                                As with Clinton, it amazes me that family workex their way to the top. They are ment to left wing liberals, and in reality they [the supporters]are that far left or liberal left, and Clinton’s is what we would see as conservative, like Thatcher conservative, I just can’t see how she got the big seat. Well I can, and it has to do with fear within the party.

                                The majoeitg main stream media in the us are so liberal it’s hurts. Now I’m a socialist at heart, that like a spinkle of capalism , but this “progressive left” nonsonses makes me sick.

                                The real crook of it is, they see themselves the the progressive peoplie whare everyone has rights and opinions, and everyone should be heard. Fine so far, bit of falls apart when you don’t agree with them, they are the most bitter lot going.

                                It’s ironic the democratic party supporters are demonsting and rioting , (alot of riots Soros has been linked to bussing people in), the irony hurts.

                                Did you see the lovely liberal grandma kick of the plane of verbally attacking a perfectly well mannered boy because he went to Washington not to protest. Then demanded respect of the fight atendent. I’ll post a link in a moment.

                                    The fire app ecosytem isn’t great. But the all 4 is free, as is are all the nomal TV apps.

                                    Evey app you download you will get an email to informing you of the purchase, even on free apps. It’s says something along the lines of “thank you for your purchase of All4” when you look closer the purchase price is £0.00.

                                    The kids have fire tablets attached to the wife’s Amazon prime acount, and she gets these email daily. She always panics.

                                    Personally I can’t stand the fire TV , I actively avoid our TV with it in. Wife loves it.

                                      I was wrong, it reports it as leaked, bit it’s isnt it giving out a faults IP as for as I can tell. As when I turn the HSS off, I get my actually local IP. The 192.168.x.x.  when HHS is on it gives out 4 sets of double numbers.

                                      The device(is) time looks like it’s being leaked via the GPU api (webGL).

                                        I’m using android 7.1.1. and going to use Russia for the test. I tested chrome and x scope browser, (not sure what it’s based on) and both failed the webrtc leak test , showing my local IP , but not my physical IP, tbh I don’t know what a local IP is.

                                        Also it pics up on that my device and the “location” are showing diffent times .

                                          How dare you sir, I don’t eat McDonald’s. Oh wait, you actually know me. ?

                                          The job may take 10 mins, I’ve had exhausts done before at the local centre, but Vauxhall work on the basis of we’ll pick your car up at 8am and then you get your car back in the evening or the next day. They are hardy efficsnt. And they are crap. But the car is despaired for a wash, not been done since mid December, so may send it in just for the free clean. ?
