Installing TWRP:

1. Download MiPCsuite from here. Install it, as it contains the proper drivers for the Redmi Note 2.
2. Download the TWRP packet from here with the files needed for flashing.
3. Extract the contents of the zip file somewhere.
4. Turn off your phone, then enter Fastboot mode by pressing and holding the volume down + power button. It should look something like this if you succeeded:
5. Then connect the phone to your computer using the microUSB cable.
6. In the extracted TWRP_install folder, find the flas_recovery.bat file and run it (do not run it as administrator, for some reason it doesn’t work that way).
7. If everything goes well, you should get output like this in cmd without errors:

   target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes

Press any key to continue . . .

8. Press a key and then on your phone press and hold the volume up + power button to enter the newly flashed TWRP recovery.
9. There will be a page warning you that ve

First we need to launch a command prompt with administrator privileges, which we can do by typing ‘cmd’ in the start menu, then right-clicking the command prompt that appears in the search results and running it as administrator.

Then we can create the Wi-Fi network with the following command:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=yournetworkname key=yourpassword

(replace ‘yournetworkname’ with your preferred name and edit ‘yourpassword’ as you wish)

Then turn it on:

I installed Steam on Linux just to try it out, but I ran into the problem that when downloading games, the download speed wouldn’t climb above 15-20 kbytes/s. I tried switching download servers, switching from Wi-Fi to a wired connection, but nothing worked. Then I started searching online for solutions, which led me to the following steps that fixed my problem.

In a nutshell, the problem is that the Linux Steam client queries DNS nameservers too frequently, which quickly overwhelms the network. The solution is to install a DNS cache on the system, which we can do as follows:

Many people buy a laptop that has two graphics cards. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 3-4-5000, as well as a dedicated card. If the dedicated card is nVidia, the system typically uses nVidia Optimus to decide whether to use the integrated or dedicated graphics card at any given moment (based on resource demands and power efficiency).

The system usually dynamically switches between the dedicated and integrated GPUs, however this can cause errors and freezes in many games and applications, and the nvidia drivers regularly crash because of this.

First, let’s update the repositories:

apt-get update

Then install the proxy software and the associated password generator:

apt-get install squid apache2-utils

Once that’s done, let’s create an empty configuration file:

rm -rf /etc/squid/squid.conf
touch /etc/squid/squid.conf
chown proxy /etc/squid/squid.conf

Then create the password file:

touch /etc/squid/squid_passwd

Then grant permissions to the proxy:

chown proxy /etc/squid/squid_passwd

Start editing the configuration file:

nano /etc/squid/squid.conf

and add the following lines (for http_port, specify the port you want to connect to the proxy on):

adduser username

smbpasswd -a username

Pro.

I’ve been planning for a long time to write a guide about one of my favorite games, Call of Duty United Offensive. For me, this was the best game back in the day alongside MoHAA, because IT HAD TANKS!

We played the hell out of it on Kursk, Carentan, Fox, and the Bas maps.

I feel like because of all the fun I had, I owe it to the game to not let it disappear into obscurity, so below I’ll describe how to set up a Linux dedicated server, how to configure 1920x1080p resolution, which ports need to be opened, and maybe I’ll even have time to cover mods.

My sister bought herself a bluetooth speaker a few weeks ago, which sounded great, so I decided to order one for myself too. Since I’m a broke college student, I aimed for the lower price range. After a brief search, I found the ER-151 on Banggood, which with its discount to around 5000 HUF fit my budget. The buyers’ feedback was quite positive, everyone praised its quality and volume, so I went ahead and ordered it. It was ordered on September 24th and arrived on October 20th.
