Normally I buy Pixels but Google has a meh pixel this year, and my pixel 3's battery isn't great. With the pixel, you never buy launch because a month later google drops the price a ton (like $100) for black Friday.
I don't buy iphones normally so I don't know if this same thing holds out. I'm...
My mom currently watches cable tv through xbox 360s using media center extender and a hdhomerun prime. The reason I set this up was that she could have 3 tvs with xboxs without having to pay for extra cable boxes. Media center on the xbox 360 was pretty easy for her to use with the remote and...
So I haven't had time to read all the reviews yet, but i haven't seen any so far that detail the graphics capabilities of ryzen or the mobos.
Its my understanding that ryzen doesn't haven any graphics capability, so I assume that the motherboards that come with video ports are being run by the...
So currently I use some Sennheiser HD 202 headphones, they aren't the most comfortable but they sound great to me. The cord is going bad, I had to tape it in a specific position or the right side doesn't work.
I'm hoping for some recommendations for some more comfortable headphones that sound...
My work upgraded me from a desktop with 12gb of ram to a laptop with 16gb of ram (all other specs are better but not really important).
I never had issues with windows running out of memory and applications crashing on the 12gb machine. I run the same programs on the 16gb laptop and once a day...
I picked this tv up at best buy to see if it supports 444 @ 60 HZ. It will accept an RGB 4k 60hz signal if you change the hdmi mode to 2 in the menu. (No idea what this does, there is no manual and toshibas website links to wrong manual)
Only problem, it has some weird pixel issues going on...
I bought a pioneer receiver 1-2 years ago, and it only got firmware updates for the first 6 months of its life, even when it was still the current product, it didn't have firmware updates through the whole 1 year cycle. There are some bugs in the firmware that haven't been fixed and I have to...
SOLD.
I've had this for a long time in my closet, no idea if it expires, I don't think they do. $20, I can open it up and give you the code, or I can mail it, buyer pays shipping. Due to the nature of the item, I'll only sell it to someone who has been on hard forum 6+ months and more than 100...
Last mac I had was a 15" 2013 rmbp, which I sold once I finished college as I didn't really need an expensive laptop.
Well, come this week my friend's work had 3 late 2009 mac minis that they were getting rid of for $50, I got one to play with. Nice part is that they already put 4gb of ram in...
I got a pretty good deal on a new iphone 5s that is cheaper than a used iphone 5s. I've been hankering to give the iphone a test drive ever since they got different keyboards (I won't use a phone that doesn't have swype). If I don't like it I can always sell it and break even easily if I want to...
So I bought 404k from ebay which is from korea. There were two problems, first it didn't come with the remote that its supposed to come with, it looks like someone cut it out:
Second there is somestuff behind the panel:
I'm hoping they will pay for shipping back and not try to tell...
So I'm looking at getting a 40" 4k monitor for both desktop work and watching movies (blurays).
Currently the two main contenders are the crossover 404k final, and the samsung UN40JU6700. I'm open to other options as well.
I'm leaning towards the crossover as its cheaper and it has some...
I'm looking for any 1155 mobo with 4 ram slots and at least a dvi port (hdmi is acceptable too). I'm looking for a cheap board to get a i3 2100 and 4 sticks of ram going that I have. (Asrock h67 mobo took a dump). I'll take h67, z68, b75 (if it works with 4 sticks of ram), h77, z77.
Let me know...
So I have an odd issue that just barely started happening in win 10. For roughly 10 to 15 min I will lose internet connectivity. Doing ipconfig /release and /renew doesn't help. All other devices connected to my router work fine. Restarting modem and router doesn't help. Restarting windows...
I have a bunch of copper fittings and pipe left over from building our house. I wanted to make loop using copper for parts of it. I'm having a hard time finding copper fittings to attach to the copper pipe that have a G1/4" thread so I can use my barbs, or a fitting I can solder on that has a...
Does anyone else find windows 10 search sucks? It won't even find stuff in my own start menu. It used to work well but one build broke it a while back. I did a fresh install after I got stuck on 10130 and that didn't fix it either.
Here is an example: I'm looking for dota, it exists in my...
So scaling is busted on the newest build of win 10 (10130). It makes certain applications fuzzy and blurry, wasn't like that before this build. I've tried playing with all the scaling options and nothing fixes it. There used to be a checkbox that was "Let me choose one scaling level for all my...
SOLD.
As I have graduated from college I do not need my laptop any more.This is a 15" late 2013 retina Macbook Pro (rmbp) with 2.3ghz i7, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd, and Nvidia gt 750m graphics.
The laptop was dropped on the corner and the screen cracked and a dent on the casing. I had both...
So I have a 3008wfp, served me well many years. Lately its been doing odd things. For example switching to the display port input will sometimes give an image where it looks like the colors are off by one pixel (if red is at the origin, green would be +1 to the right, and blue would be +2 to the...
So I found a nice audio plugin for windows media center that will switch the audio to my receiver when windows media center starts and then switch it back to my other speakers when media center closes.
(Can be found here if you want it...
I have a 3tb seagate that is failing, has some odd 2000 bad sectors. Currently it just holds bluray rips. I'm wondering if there is a program that will show which files are affected by the bad sectors so I can just rerip those and I can just copy off the files that aren't affected by the bad...
Not looking for price checks, just wondering about the best place to sell a 2013 15" rmbp. I'm not sure I want to deal with ebay.
There is here and you still have the possibility of a chargeback through paypal, though there aren't as many scammers here as ebay.
There is craigslist but I...
I was reading this review: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_960_g1_gaming_4gb_review,6.html
It stated
I haven't been able find anywhere on nvidia's site stating the 970/980 do/don't support hdcp 2.2 or h.265 decoding. Is this really the case that only the 960 has...
I didn't see a thread on this tv ( vizio 4k 43" M43-C1), it's listed as coming soon at best buy for $600.
Unknown if it supports 60hz 4:4:4, but if it does seems like it's going to be a pretty good deal...
I do android app development on my mac and I have some conistant issues that persist even after a reformat and fresh install. I've called apple care and they seem to think its 3rd party software issue, but I'm not so sure since after the reinstall I've really only put android studio and...
So I've been looking at expanding my media center's storage, as I have filled all my ports on my z87 mobo I need an add in card. I'm getting really confused by all the didn't types of cards and the difference between them. I use stable bit drive pool to pool my drives so it's like one big drive...
I'm wondering if you all prefer games where you gear up to be better (skill is still necessary but gear can make up for it), for example world of warcraft you really need decent gear to PvP otherwise you just get rallied even if you have more skill than another player.
Or do you prefer a game...
It used to be that when going to user cp, the new subscribed threads portion showed new posts since the last time I was on or something similar to that (maybe since last time I clicked on a thread). For a while now it's been different. I'm not sure how it works now, it seems to only show threads...
So I thought my zipper was closed all the way on my backpack. It wasn't and my 15" rmbp (late 2013) fell out and landed on the front corner on the concrete. Screen and top panel is gone, the corner on the bottom half is pretty dented in.
I dropped it off at Simply Mac (AASP) and they said they...
So I just read the masterchief collection includes halo 1's multiplayer as it originally was with xbox live added. This is my favorite multiplayer ever! I haven't played a game on my xbox 360 in probably 4 years, its just a media center extender now.
But I will buy an xbox one if the...
A 3500mah battery drops 20% in 1 minute. So 700mah * (60 min/1h) (1a/1000ma) = 42 amps That it drew in that min? It's been so long I've done this I could be doing this totally wrong.
So if I put my computer to sleep, it will instantly wake back up. If I check powercfg -lastwake it says it was the power button. It will do this over and over if I put it back to sleep. This would make you think the power button is going bad but I get no prompts to shut the pc down when working...
So I started this thread looking for some headphones, but after trying them out I figured out some issues that I did not foresee. I keep getting the cord caught on things at work with the current Sennheiser HD 202 II headphones I have so I would like bluetooth headphones. Another issue I found...
So I got a new job (software development internship), I pretty much sit staring at code all day. My manager told me I can listen to music all I want during work, everybody there has pretty nice headphones.
I cannot really tell the sound difference between cheap and expensive headphones. I...
I can't seem to find google answers for this specific situation.
Basically what we want to do is swap numbers between two lines on a family plan (not switch devices only numbers because the devices aren't compatible with the plans on each line).
I have a promotional data plan that my sister...
