Hi,

I've just installed one of these mini adapter cards into a Dell Studio 1749 laptop.

The wireless works fine, brilliantly in fact. Except every 10 - 15 seconds Windows 7 decides that it has found new hardware.

The message that keeps popping up is "USB Device Not Recognised" - This is definitely related to the card as it doesn't occur when I remove it.

I'm very confused! Any help much appreciated as usual.

Cheers,

Alex

wow nice hack/fix, I think I would have given up before that

I tried to replace the wireless G card in my laptop with a wireless N one, except for reasons only HP think are fine, they have added a whitelist to the laptop BIOS that prevents you booting with any other card installed

The new N card works 100% if I hot swap it during POST, so there is no reason for them to block it except to be awkward, and my version laptop BIOS seems impossible to remove the whitelist from

Thats crazy! Have you searched online for any bios mods? I did a quick google and found this: http://www.bios-mods...itelist-Removal

There's also some info here: http://www.rechner.org/b1800_bios.html

Go on - be brave! :p

haha yea I have been brave with about 3 or 4 different apparently modded whitelist removed versions for my laptop, they all get me past POST with the N card installed, but all of them freeze the laptop when I enable wireless

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
