    PlayStation Sales Double Xbox One’s in 2018, according to EA Data

    Agree with the first point but not the last one. There are roughly two times more PS4s, but I see like 10 times more PS4s needing serviced.

    PlayStation Sales Double Xbox One’s in 2018, according to EA Data

    I fix hundreds of consoles. Xboner got PS4 beaten on reliability. PS4s have all kinds of problems and seem more cheaply made. PS4 just got more popular than Xboner because it was cheaper with slightly higher specs that no one could tell a difference on.

    top reasons people didn’t upgrade to the iPhone 8 or iPhone X

    I didn't say my tastes represent everyone else's. In fact, they're very different than the average. 99% of my photos happen to be close-ups which I doubt a dual camera setup is even going to help there. That dual camera gig would be better for portraits which other people take. I took several...

    PSA: Amazon Raising Prime Annual Price to $119

    I prefer to go to the local grocery store, buy from Newegg and eBay sellers and my other main suppliers. We will still use Prime though, because it's convenient to get things quick at work for customers for certain items. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't use it.

    top reasons people didn’t upgrade to the iPhone 8 or iPhone X

    Most people I know looking for an iPhone want the 6s or 7. There's just no point in upgrading so often in my opinion. I'm still using my Motorola from 2014. The camera photos look comparable to a Note 8's. The hype about cameras I don't believe. Wireless charging... who cares? Face ID... who...

    Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+

    Must have force shoved that SIM card in any old way wrecking it loose into oblivion. I just looked inside the hole and saw all kinds of bent, wrecked pins and thinking to myself this just got fucked too hard. I told her the SIM hole got sodomized. Otherwise, the phone looked pristine.

    Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+

    Already saw someone sodomize their S9's SIM reader like someone's poop shooter today. Cheap piece of crap didn't want to pay me $100 to fix it. Hmm, wonder what that piece of garbage is going to do with that $1000 phone that I doubt they even own, just not pay their bill like an irresponsible...

    Do Any M.2 PCIe SSD to SATA Adapters Exist?

    I can find M.2 SATA to SATA and mSATA to SATA but can never find M.2 PCIe SSD to SATA adapters--I'm going to guess they don't exist. Adapter would only be used for convenience of data transfers when needed. I already know M.2 NVME PCIe to PCIe exists.

    “The Last Jedi” Is the Most Divisive Star Wars Movie Between Fans and Critics

    Have not seen the new one but I can't imagine it being as bad as The Force Awakenings--by far the worse Star Wars film in my opinion. Only actor I liked was Hans Solo the dude which they end up just killing. Overall crappy characters and acting and so much seemed unrealistic while copying the...

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper Installation Redux

    Yes, those screws are Torx. Those were the ones I guess he partially unscrewed. I kinda doubt they would ship them that way but who knows. Higher resolution here: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/DSC03289.jpg http://cdn.overclock.net/c/c3/c34f3320_DSC_0118.jpeg

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper Installation Redux

    Alright, I finally got it mounted. Here was my solution that no video or forum mentioned. I'm guessing the customer partially unscrewed the other bottom torx screws--NOT the ones labeled 2 and 3 but the other ones--that's why it kept lifting. Those screws weren't going through the motherboard...

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper Installation Redux

    All the screws get tight, so they're going through the threads or at least that's my impression. At any rate, he has an ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme board with Foxconn socket.

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper Installation Redux

    A customer who never built a PC before who attempted to build one brought me his that didn't POST. It has a Threadripper CPU. For whatever reason, the socket never sits flat or parallel to the board where the two bottom screws 2 and 3 reside. When tightening torx screws 2 and 3, it causes the...

    Thoughts on Installing Windows 8.1 with Ryzen 7

    I want to build a Ryzen 7 machine with an NVME drive for work and will not be used for gaming. As many of you probably already know, Microsoft is trying to stop support for updates for anything older than Windows 10 for Ryzen 7 CPUs. There is a patch out to fix that. Just wondering if I'd be...

    Not getting full Gigabit...

    Router arrived in the mail. I saw 800-850Mbps downloads a few times at the beginning. Now it just consistently shows 500-550Mbps again, and uploads are usually higher. Outside of the router shows Verizon but at default gateway, it shows Frontier. Should I return it? I'm going to leave it...

    Want to Setup a Local PBX Server

    Working with CRM would be nice but not 100% necessary. It's my impression PBX cloud-based service is expensive. Slapping up a cheapo server seems way more cost-effective.

    Want to Setup a Local PBX Server

    Main goal is to be able to record all phone calls and keep a record of them. This will be for my job. Customers never like to pick up their phones and will lie that we never called them or that they tried to call us. Would love to play these recordings in front of their face if needed. Also...

    I did see those Frontier ones. I never ordered them though. The other G1100 that I'm sending back I eventually opened up. Two jumpers were touching each other and one antenna coax connector looked mangled near the top-front of the unit. I assume the two antenna cables should've been connected to...

    Want to Setup a Local PBX Server

    I'd like to setup a local PBX server. I currently have Verizon FIOS. Digital Voice comes with it which should be VoIP. It's my understanding this requires using regular analog phone to which the ONT acts as the VoIP gateway to then convert to digital--is this correct? Is this doable, and how...

    Not getting full Gigabit...

    Using a Cisco RV320 that I acquired elsewhere but if I'm bypassing the router I don't think that should matter. It has latest firmware installed. I saw a blue CAT6 cable from the ONT at the back of my workplace which is very long to the front of my workplace. It's at least 50' long. The...

    Not getting full Gigabit...

    I don't understand. What do you mean by traffic meter? I just recently bought gigabit FiOS at work, and the max I keep getting is 500-550Mbps. I called Verizon, and they just say I need their official router to do any diagnostics. I connected a laptop directly to the demarc point bypassing any...

    Best Tablet <$400?

    Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 at 10.1" running Android is lighter than the larger iPads. Large bulk of tablets are 10.1". Maybe check out the Asus Transformer tablets, too. They're decently priced and run Windows or Android. The iPads are by far the more common tablets I've seen at work.

I've seen brand new Samsung with all kinds of problems, and their parts are stupidly expensive. I've seen a few G2s with a slight crack making the digitizer partially inoperable. Of the two, get...
