That's a trivial matter to overcome. Any EE would be able to make that conversion in a matter of minutes.

I would be shocked (get it? PSU - shocked? Never mind...) if a new rig in a year would need much more power than a roughly equivalent system today. 1600W will likely be overkill by at least 50%. Search for a PSU Calculator and plan out a similar system using today's top end parts, to what...

See, that's the thing. This worked fine until the 21H1 update. I know I used it for the 20H2 update and it worked fine. IIRC, it opened a link in Firefox, just as the other links on the Update History page did (and still does). Useless. So I installed the Tips app. Clicked the "See what's...

So a couple of weeks ago I let my system update to Windows 21H1. After rebooting the first thing that pops up is the news widget. Don't need it, turn it off. Go on about my business. A couple days later I wonder what else is new in this update I go to view my update history where there is a...

Sorry, NVM. Found another way to do what I wanted. Thanks for the reply though!

Looking for help with a small 3D print job. I want to solicit someone to 3D print 4 small parts for a project I am building. Should I do that here or in the For Sale/Trade forum?

Fake card! Probably a 760 or something like that. The BIOS has been modified so that the system thinks it is a 1080TI and it is pushing too much electricity into it. Just turn down the electricity and you should be fine.

Watched it last night. Not bad! It's a shame that it is only on CBS All Access. Hopefully that will change. (Hey I can dream can't I?)

Yahoo Mountain Dew! You know, if you throw enough underwear at the wall you will eventually find some that sticks (ancient tech secret). :vomit: Just seemed that the problem had to be with BIOS somewhere. BIOS clear didn't fix it so the only other thing I could think of was to re-flash it...

I know you said it has the latest BIOS but have you tried re-flashing it? Maybe that reboot when stablebit hung corrupted something.

What I find amazingly stupid is that the doors and windows were locked for an hour. WTF?? Why - just why? That would be a pain in the ass no matter where you were when you did the update.

Youngsters... :) Back in my day Creative Computing, 80micro, and Byte were the rags to read. Learned a lot from those magazines - even Z80 assembly language. Got to where I could follow the code from a hex dump of an executable file. Lots of great programs were typed in from the pages of...

Reminds me of an old Chevy C10 from the 70's : or only with square headlights and that 70's Russian car body.

I looked at the manual for your motherboard and it indeed does not have a power LED on it. So either follow the advice of pendragon1 or wait a couple minutes after turning off the PSU to let the caps drain. Watch this video. Maybe it will relieve some of your fears. And/or give you a good...

Again, it's the same situation with the clothes that you wear. If your clothes are picking up lint then there is something wrong with your appliances. If you really are that concerned about it then hand wash and hang dry. Yes, in the terms of absolute personal safety you should de-energize...

Most baby wipes contain some sort of lotion with lanolin, aloe, and many other chemicals. Might be good for a baby's butt but not for my computer! :D

That brush kit you linked to is actually a pretty good deal. I'm thinking of picking up one myself mostly because of the various sizes and shapes - the anti-static property is just an added bonus. And those microfiber cloths should do the job nicely and can be washed and reused unlike IPA...

Research is a good thing! But the World Wide Web has as much bad information as it does good. You just have to learn how to temper your research with a little common sense. A lot of folks see computers (and most electronic gadgets) as delicate little boxes full of magic when in fact they are...

Dude, you are making this way more difficult than it needs to be. Turn the PSU off but leave it plugged in. This will provide a ground path for any static. Get in there with a soft or medium bristle brush and loosen up the caked on dust. If you are that concerned about static wear a static...

I've watched many of her videos and she seems to bounce back and fourth between intelligent and dingbat. Sometimes hard to understand and often not very informative, but ALWAYS fun to watch!

Thanks so much for posting that! VERY informative for sure.

That's okay by me. To me DS9 was just kind of meh until the Dominion war started. But I really liked Voyager and would pick that up on Blu-ray if it becomes available in HD.

Well Piss on me! :) My mistake. That happens when you make assumptions without fact checking. Bought my TNG sets back in '03-'04 on DVD and just assumed they were done on tape. Haven't kept up with releases since I made that assumption but now that you have pointed out the TNG is out on...

Pretty video. Too bad it says jack-diddly-shit about the camera. Useless waste of bits.

Sorry to necro a comment from over a year ago. I doubt you will ever see a true 4k or even HD version of ST:TNG, ST:V, or DS9 since they were all shot on video tape in standard definition, 4:3 ratio. ST:TOS was shot on film so making a HD or even a 4K version is completely possible...

I'd put the fans in my new(ish) build just for some bling factor. I'd hold on to the PSU as an emergency spare of use it in my next build. Really like Enermax products. Have a 720W PSU that I've used for nearly 10 years. Other than replacing the fan it's still going strong!

It is interesting that you posted that video. I saw that video shortly after it was posted and thought it was a good idea and he did a neat job of it. A couple of months later after I had finished my new build I thought about doing the same mod to my case. I picked up a similar cable from...

:D In reference to: My old Model 4 always worked as intended... That old 3.78 MHz Z80 based Model 4 would easily run two 9600 baud modems -- helped run a two line (at the time) BBS for a few years before we moved on to x86 based systems.

You say po-ta-to, I say po-tah-to. :D Any way you look at it, they are both problems at the silicon level. I agree with you about human nature. If Intel had known 10 years ago how despicable some humans could be it probably would have designed a more secure CPU. Problem is that Intel...

I bet there are less than ten people on the [H] that would admit they believe the Earth is flat or that we never went to the moon. But something like this comes along and the forum becomes conspiracy theory central. :rolleyes: Come on folks. It's a bug, a fault, design flaw. Just like the...

Man, I thought this was going to be a thread about great items that other like-minded people have picked up during this sale. Instead I find all this Amazon/Prime love it / hate it. At least kirbyrj posted a funny pic of a sale item. Come on! What cool gadget did you buy? I need some...

First one I ever bought was a Sinclair ZX80. It was supposed to ship in kit form but they ran out of kits so they shipped an assembled unit. IIRC the kit price was $99. The first computer I ever got to use was an HP sumpthin-sumpthin time shared system that was connected to a DECWriter...

Bump for the bizarre Cowboys-Raiders game, especially the last two minutes! GEAUX COWBOYS!!!

Personally I would be more inclined to donate if the service provided a way to make an annual donation. I have enough monthlies to keep track of. For me $25 a year would be easier than $2 a month. Even some kind of direct payment as lcpiper mentioned would be good.

Can't speak for the long term quality yet as I've only had the unit for a couple weeks but I'm hoping it will be good. The Creative Roar 2 is a nice looking unit and has a few more bells and whistles than the JBL Charge 2+. Haven't auditioned the Roar so I can't say what the audio quality is...

This is true! It's also true that "you can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant." If you've never heard it, look it up. It's a long (about 20mins I think) story/song but it's funny AF, especially if you're high.

Been looking for a good Bluetooth speaker for a while and I ran across this at Amazon. It may be an older model but that does not affect the sound quality! For such a small speaker it has incredibly good bass. Was using it today in a large open living room/rec area/kitchen and at about 1/4...

Wasn't that supposed to be at 4:20 bump?

Lens Flares! You forgot Lens Flares. Did I mention the Lens Flares? I don't care. But if they get Zoe Saldana nekid, I'll buy it.
