That would be fat32's 4gb large file restriction.

FAT32 cannot handle individual files larger than 4gb, even if the volume is bigger than that.  On windows, your alternatives are ExFAT and NTFS.

Most USB sticks I've had came with FAT32 installed, which is why I thought it was a possible solution to Bohandas's problem. I was trying to keep the explanation as non-technical as I could.

Unless they are 128gb or larger, they will ship with FAT32 for maximal device compatibility.

That wont stop you from reformatting as NTFS or ExFAT though, if you really need to. Just be aware that doing so will wipe the usb stick, and that those filesystems often have slower read/write performance on USB media.

I would check to see if the game's files hit the 4gb limit. If they do, that is probably the problem. If not, the steam downloader may be trying to shovel data into the device faster than can be written, and running out of write-behind buffer. Put the device into high performance mode and see if that fixes it.

Do people still learn html these days instead of just using a program to do the job?

Yes

[Flying Dice]

That sounds excessive.

Not to mention exceptionally unwise, considering that you'd be in touching-range of the WP.

Bleh, trying to download some videos off Youtube. Found a working downloader(called YTD Video Downloader), but subtitle information doesn't seem to be downloaded with it. Found a downloader(Google2SRT) for the subtitle information, but Windows Media Player doesn't show the subtitles anyway. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here.

[Aklyon]

Well for one, you could be using a media player that isn't rubbish.

Trying to install Kali Linux on a laptop I just bought. This is the product.

When I try to boot from a LiveUSB, it simply doesn't. It boots from the next highest thing in the boot order instead. Disabling everything else causes it to go to the UEFI menu instead of booting. UEFI detects the hardware, in boot menus and suchlike, it just doesn't seem willing to do anything with it.

Boots just fine in Legacy mode, but I'd like to take advantage of some of the ease of dual-booting that UEFI offers once you get through the clusterfuck of making it work in the first place. Any suggestions for getting this to work?

EDIT: Nevermind. It needed to be NTFS. For some reason.

I think I've got a bad USB port. My hub keeps disconnecting from it (and It's a new hub that I switched to because the old hub kept disconnecting, so I know it's not the hub).

How do I verify that the port is indeed the problem? And once I've verified what do I do? Do I clean it? Replace it? What?

[Aklyon]

You can verify its the problem by testing your hub on a different port.

[Bohandas]

You can verify its the problem by testing your hub on a different port.

Seems to be working so far, but I can't be sure yet because it had only been happening about once per day anyway.

On a different, unrelated note has anybody else had trouble downloading videos from Youtube recently? Both my downloader add-ons have been failing about 50% of the time recently.

So, my new fan arrived and I'll probably install it soon.

How can I prevent my fan from breaking again?

[Sonlirain]

Keep cables away from its blades and remember that better fans do have an approximated life expectancy of around 40,000 hours (that's like 4 years of constant running).
Other than that and somehow managing to plug them into a socket that has the wrong voltage (near impossible) i don't think that there is anything you cna do to increase their lifespan.

My 3 year old GTX 650 Ti is starting to be a bit cranky lately, I'm getting a lot of driver kernel crash errors when running most games. This is causing some issues with the online multiplayer games I play, where I typically have to force close and then restart these games. 

Is it time for me to get a new graphics card?

[gimlet]

SOME fans have an oil port under the sticker.  A drop of sewing machine oil/light machine oil in there will often get it going again.  Still, nothing lasts forever...

[Bohandas]

Is there any way to use my android pbo e as a bluetooth keyboard for my PC?
