    Geezers Going Down Hard, Larry Kudlow Edition

    Hopefully because Satan prioritized Kissinger. I'm not sure why it's fashionable lately to make a show of feeling bad when a tiny fraction of someone's awfulness get revisited upon them but it has solidified my antipathy for fashion. :p

    2x 32" 2K vs 1x 48" 4K?

    'Tis indeed. My biggest concern is just whether it'll artifact or lag at 1440p, plus general QC concerns.

    2x 32" 2K vs 1x 48" 4K?

    I wish you well on your quest to spread the semantics gospel. May you find much joy and success in a thread on that topic.

    2x 32" 2K vs 1x 48" 4K?

    repoman0 - I sit about 2' away from my 32" right now but I keep my desk mostly empty, could easily push back another 18" or so. I am a little concerned about the height of a 48"... right now the top of the 32" is maybe 4-6" above my eyes so going to 48 may be sacrificing ergonomics a bit. And my...

    2x 32" 2K vs 1x 48" 4K?

    2K = 1440p, not 1080p. Edit: looks like there's some debate about it. Not interested in debating the merits of the terminology; when I say it I mean 1440. :p

    2x 32" 2K vs 1x 48" 4K?

    Time to upgrade monitors. I'll be running whatever I get off the desktop in my sig. My workload is a pretty even mix of text (Python, Word, Excel, Chrome), light Photoshop/Illustrator, light gaming (mostly Starcraft II), and the occasional movie. Good text clarity is an absolute must, but I also...

    Toronto van-attack terrorist linked to misogynist "incel" movement

    GG is about fairness the way cannibalism is about sharing. Anyone who hasn't figured that out is... not reading the news, to be as charitable as possible. And yeah, they're precisely the same human wastelands that join incel groups and think swatting is hilarious and occasionally decide it's not...

    MS hasn't done anything overly evil in a while. Guess they got bored.

    Denly that's only correct inasmuch as the activation on newer machines is embedded in the BIOS rather than on a disc.

    Fenix - that would be an issue IMHO if he was making any significant profit on them. Would've been reasonable to hit him with a small fine and tell him to cease and desist with the logos (although really the OEM restore disks I've seen have such generic branding that any disc not labeled in...

    MS hasn't done anything overly evil in a while. Guess they got bored.

    1/10, as in $15? That was legal or some shady ebay deal? Thing that pisses me off is that I have no objection to capitalism in reasonable form. Get rid of these deranged assholes making it look like legalized vampirism and we'd have a pretty good system on our hands. I'm not gonna advocate...

    Toronto van-attack terrorist linked to misogynist "incel" movement

    Yeah, I'm beginning to think psycho politics are just that one part of Cluster B we haven't properly described yet... or it's a grab bag of the existing stuff. On the flip side, I do remember reading recently that a large chunk of these domestic terrorists don't have any clinical disorder...

    4k tv as monitor?

    Eh, I got pretty intense with gaming in college but these days it's a casual affair that often involves a beer or two. I mostly play StarCraft 2 and a bit of Doom, dabble in other stuff occasionally. I'm plenty happy with my cheap LG 32" 1080p IPS screen, just wanted more real estate for...

    Hardware to start mining

    If you're set on it I'd suggest bumping up to 1080s with a modest underclock - time to ROI is about even and you'll make money faster after the investment is paid (or have a bit more breathing room to extend the life of the cards) but either will work fine. There are cheapish mobos on Amazon...

    Spec Me A $1100 (Or Less) 1080p Beast

    Whm is right. 8400 is best for my money, and it comes with a perfectly good cooler. You won't need those two fans either, 8400+1060 runs nice and cool in a good case like the S340.

    Hardware to start mining

    Agreed, I smell a rat there. For GPU moving just get a few 1060s and go from there. ... Or better, given that mining is at best a risky as hell investment with impending regulations, sketchy infrastructure, massive growing pains, rising transaction fees, rampant fraud, etc... Take the money you...

    4k tv as monitor?

    Saw that $400 deal on a 50" Vizio P8000... If I wall mount it it'll be about 4' away, should make for comfortable dpi considering I'm happy with my current 32" 1080 screen (the LG that's usually $200 on Amazon). My question is whether it'll actually work like a good monitor... Clean text, HDR...

    UpdraftPlus for Wordpress error?

    Update: set it to backup to Google Drive instead of the server and it worked after a few hours... only half a gig of files (mostly small-medium jpgs) though so not sure what the problem was. Would still like any insights people might have.

    UpdraftPlus for Wordpress error?

    Trying to back up a client's Wordpress site but it's getting stuck in what looks like some kind of loop. Any ideas? This backup was just of the uploads folder to eliminate any plugin weirdness (goal is to download their media library - I know about downML but it hasn't been updated in 3 years...

    Probook 430 G2 always goes to Hardware Diagnostics on boot?

    Boot drive is a new 850 Evo, works fine in other machines. I'm not sure what the other hardware problem would be... seems like if the mobo was hosed it wouldn't get that far. I have no better ideas though.

    Probook 430 G2 always goes to Hardware Diagnostics on boot?

    Pretty much what the title says. It goes to the Hardware Diagnostics screen within a couple seconds of turning the power on when I try to boot from USB, boot from SSD, update BIOS from USB (1.6.1 to 1.44), or pretty much anything else. I can get the network boot screen to come on but that...

    Mounting speakers in a shop?

    Got a couple Mission 762s on a generic receiver (tested, sounds great) I'm gonna be wall/ceiling mounting in a shop. My only concern is how to go about mounting it. I was thinking the speakers already had mount points on the back, but they don't. Walls are brick, ceiling is exposed steel beams...

    2013 Rio LX Sedan - keep or sell?

    Good to know esp about batteries... at that point it sounds like they're unlikely to be replaced before the car dies anyway. That said, if I have a choice between dropping 13k to hit 40mpg or dropping 2k and living without some creature features... yeah, 11k in the bank is sounding pretty nice...

    2013 Rio LX Sedan - keep or sell?

    I'd be fine spending 13k again if TCO was somehow competitive, but a Volt? a) I live in an apartment that doesn't have charging facilities so it'd mostly just be an expensive gas car, and b) don't the batteries start degrading around 100k miles? Any big difference between more recent...

    2013 Rio LX Sedan - keep or sell?

    I might've misunderstood something... 10k/yr does sound pretty crazy and I'm not seeing any huge pileup of issues on Google to justify that kind of cost. Mechanic is definitely no idiot and if he's taking advantage he's a ninja at it... like I said he's kept both our cars (2013 Rio and 95 Civic)...

    2013 Rio LX Sedan - keep or sell?

    So my wife drives a 2013 Rio LX (base model), now with 105k miles. Just had it serviced and mechanic told us that at around 120k miles maintenance costs would balloon to around 10k/yr. That seems high but he's been great for us for several years now. KBB says the car is worth about 6k in good...

    Nexus 6 won't autofocus?

    Wife and I both have Nexus 6s with Google Fi and love them, but a few weeks ago her camera stopped autofocusing for some reason. We're both on the most recent official version of Android 7 for the N6. Her phone hasn't taken any hard hits and we both have thick, rugged cases that should protect...

    What is, technically speaking, the diff btw a quadro card and a gaming one?

    Quadro has zero benefits unless you're using an app that requires certified drivers - high end CAD/CAM, content creation, etc. For gaming, the only difference is that you'll pay 10x more for the same horsepower.

    What do you look for in an office (executive suites)?

We've knocked out walls to combine offices for a couple bigger tenants (4-8 people) but most are still singles. Fit 2-3 people...

    Clean, cheap PC speaker with min fuss?

    Those look nice, but quite a bit overkill. Cheapest powered ones I see are around $250 (A2+)... that's a bit more than I'm willing to spend to fill one modest room with decent background music. And the aesthetics aren't anything special either. I might go up to 100 for something like this...

    Clean, cheap PC speaker with min fuss?

    I've got some Logitech 2.1 speaker system in my office right now... sounds fine but sub is eating up limited floor space and reducing wire clutter would be nice. Possible to get something around the same performance level as, say, a Z213 in a single speaker bar or, failing that, a 2.0 system...
