    Jamo D 600 15" is 'dead', What is a good replacement?

    Was more pointing out looking for a replacement speaker, not necessarily that specific speaker. I had done this on my Cambridge Soundworks Sub that was blown. I replaced it with a JBL 12" equivalent, or at least as close as I could get, speaker.

    Jamo D 600 15" is 'dead', What is a good replacement?

    Don't know if the link will work, but have you looked at just replacing the 15" speaker? I am seeing a new Jamo Pro 1000 15 for $120. https://www.ebay.com/itm/202644153692?hash=item2f2e88655c:g:IyYAAOxy86RSU1ja

    Comcast data caps are coming in January all over the place

    It use to be $50 for unlimited prior to the pandemic, so the pricing has gotten a little better. I am kind of screwed as I can get CenturyLink 12Mb service for $50 unlimited, or I can get 300Mb from Comcast/Xfinity for $100 unlimited ($70 for service and $30 for unlimited).

    Like the title says, Misfit Android watches are on extreme discounts. Vapor X - $39.99 Vapor and Vapor 2 - $39.99 https://www.misfit.com/smartwatches/ These are far from perfect, but for $39.99, it's pretty much a disposable item.

    Tariffs on Certain PC Computer Parts Lifted

    The Tech companies and the resellers will just look at this and say, "Meh, they are now use to paying a higher price, let's leave it there". Very similar to the "Mining Craze". Bitcoin and others crashed, but the pricing of the cards did not start to decline until many many months after, or in...

    Red Dragon Vega 56 Issue

    I recently upgraded from a RX 580 8GB to a RX Vega 56 8GB. I have my gaming PC hooked up to a TCL 4 series 65" 4k TV via a Pioneer VSX-LX301 Elite receiver. Prior to switching from the 580 to the Vega, games played, just not great/good at 4k. Now that I switch, games are playing much...

    GIGABYTE RTX Graphics Cards Introduction and Retail

    My thought is that Nvidia saw the Crypto pricing versus their pricing and got pissed. The partners/resellers made all the money off of the Crypto boost, not AMD/Nvidia. So now Nvidia is saying screw it, you're going to end up buying/paying anyway so we might as well make that markup versus the...

    The Steam Machine is Dead

    Personally, I think the streaming option from your main PC to any other connected PC is what killed it. I use that option quite a bit and it works pretty well. Have a low powered HTPC upstairs connected to the big screen and my main PC downstairs. I can play games from my Steam library with...

    Reconditioned HP Ryzen X360 laptop $479 on Woot

    Have you upgraded yours at all yet? I am planning on picking up either a 256 or 512gb NVME drive for it as the boot drive and then have the 1tb as storage. Also possible upgrading to 2x8GB for the RAM, depending on the pricing. Of course I have to wait for it to get to me first and see what...

    Verizon’s New Prepaid Plan: 500MB of Data for $30/Month

    Have you looked at T-mobiles One Plus International? It's $25 on top of any One plan, well actually $10 for One Plus and then $15 more for One Plus International. It adds a bunch of roaming countries and the big kicker that they don't tell you much about is unlimited 4g LTE tethering. It's...

    Basic info for wiring a house?

    Seems like you got a good plan to start. I would say run more now to every room as you won't have as easy of chance to do it after. I had to wire mine after the fact and crawling around in the attic and in the crawl space was an awesome way to spend a weekend. I ended up running 1 Coax and 3...

    What's the best bang for the buck Android phone right now?

    I really liked my Axon 7 for the 1st 9 months I owned it. But then the battery life started dropping significantly on it. I am lucky to get through the work day with out it going belly up. It's no longer my daily driver, so I am sending back to Axon for that issue, as well as half the screen...

    The Reign of 3D Is over in US Cinemas

    The biggest issue for me was the price difference. I think it's about $5 a ticket difference around here. I don't mind 3D, but there was very few movies I would pay extra for to see in 3D vs 2D.

    FSP Twins that are 500W Each

    Yeah, so there is so much that they could have done better. Why not integrate a fan into the case and cool both units with a larger quieter fan. And the pricing seems a little on the high side. This would have been nice for my home server, have one connection to the battery backup, and one...

    Need advice with file storage

    I went the cheaper route, and built an inexpensive AMD system. They have support for ECC and are much cheaper. I have a cheap ASUS 970 board and 16gb of ECC RAM and some lower end quad core chip. Haven't had any issues to complain about on the system, other than faulty drives from time to...

    Apple’s Guide Says Bent iPhone 6 Not Covered By Warranty

    I like the Apple reply "only 9 people have contacted Apple about bent Iphone 6 Plusses". How would it be this big of a story if there were only 9? All of them must have been journalists of some sort to get this much coverage.
