    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    FYI - went cheap on the over-under stand. 36 bucks for a set-it and forget it since I don't need to adjust it once it's set. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1R9PKHR5Z4WFZ Does the job.

    Just dropping a (non-audiophile) recommendation based on a recent upgrade

    Replaced some ancient Logitech Z313s with a Vizio V21t-J8 2.1 soundbar/subwoofer. https://www.amazon.com/VIZIO-Compact-Theater-Sound-Virtual/dp/B099BJV68H Main reasoning was to clean up the cable mess the Z313's created since I moved into a new house and now I have my own office rather than...

    Docsis 3.1 Emta - why are they only "valid" for comcast?

    Understood about firmware.... And Wave's site says "anything that fits the standard (except motorola 8600 has issues) will work" and don't bother giving a list. But its only Modems they talk about. The local reps at the store said they need to use their own equipment for voice, so I thought...

    Docsis 3.1 Emta - why are they only "valid" for comcast?

    Did a search, didn't find an answer, if there is one, just point me to it. I just moved out of Comcast's service area and into Wave (now "Astound") cable service area. Paid for their near-gig service which requires docsis 3.1 Plugged in a non-phone docsis 3.1 modem (Arris Surfboard SB8200)...

    JOHN WICK 4 AND MATRIX 4 THREAD (All Keanu)

    Yeah, I gave it a shot due to it being a Ryan Reynolds vehicle, even though otherwise I had misgivings. But IMO, they hit it out of the park. Not an epic movie, but very enjoyable on all almost all fronts - other than Tiaka Waititi's caricature.

    Sixteen Years Old, $1.7 Million in Revenue: Max Hits It Big as a Pandemic Reseller

    ROFL.... The hate is strong.... As noted - dealerships sell hot cars above MSRP quite frequently for hot models. The other items.... competition and plenty keeps the prices low. Full stop. Corporate big wigs at the grocery stores and walmarts COULD do what this kid did and jack up the...

    Sixteen Years Old, $1.7 Million in Revenue: Max Hits It Big as a Pandemic Reseller

    Such fierce, emotional value judgements of people based on a single article. Most people earning a living selling/reselling stuff haven't invented their own product. Walmart? Grocery store? Car dealership? The IRS will tax him on that 110K. Hopefully his ledger is clear. Based on the...

    Sixteen Years Old, $1.7 Million in Revenue: Max Hits It Big as a Pandemic Reseller

    It's envy of those who can afford the increased prices and a sense of entitlement that they should be able to get what they want just because they want it. "It's not fair"... buck up kiddo, life isn't fair. Work harder. Make your own breaks. Oh, there are problems... but this kid and his...

    Microsoft Internal Documents - Permanent Work From Home

    My company is definitely going to be going to be cutting office hours as things cool down. Will be 2 or 3 days in office, 3 or 2 days home. Engineering (for a large company that builds transportation vehicles) is collaborative, and while phone calls and video calls help, it is NOT like being...
