  1. Amazon Subprime

    I shop from amazon a fair amount but have no use for their aux services such as audio video games etc. I've had prime and not had it, off and on over the years, and live near a major city and nearer still to a major amazon hub. I noticed a change from before covid, to during and post-covid...
  2. Question Wherefore art thou, 4k?

    4K is not overrated at all if used on a decent sized monitor or TV-as-monitor. I mean for daily computing, I leave the gaming angle up to those who want to spend the money on a video card for that, when it seems like if it's not one thing, it's another keeping video card prices artificially...
  3. Question Wherefore art thou, 4k?

    They will charge more for it as long as the market can bare that. Can't see it dropping to $100 to $120 yet, since there is a base (minimum) price for all the components and that price point would be for a cheaper lower res 1080p panel. At least that is fairly standard now instead of 720p or...
  4. Man votes illegally for 40 years, not deported or jailed yet.. guess why?

    ^ Click through, it's viewable on YT. He might be screwed. Maybe if his situation goes viral enough, he can get some kind of gofundme going to make up the difference, have a trust fund set up to make interval payments rather than some lump sum windfall.
  5. Question want bigger battery in my ups...

    There are too many variables for me to predict what will happen. You can either reverse engineer each circuit to determine what it will do in different states, or hook them up one at a time and test the result that way. You should do as mentioned previously, isolate the UPS charging circuit...
  6. Question want bigger battery in my ups...

    What "2 batteries"? I was under the impression you were replacing 1 x 7Ah, with 1 x 50Ah? You probably don't want two separate charging circuits working in parallel. I mean you could test what happens but the result is unpredictable without that data, and you'd probably want at least OR-ing...
  7. Question Wherefore art thou, 4k?

    Some people like the idealized smoothness of text using highest DPI possible, and others prefer the crispness of not having that edge blur - particularly if having to read for long hours then it is easier on the eyes. However at a mere 32", unless you are sitting very close to it, the...
  8. Question want bigger battery in my ups...

    The primary cause of short battery life is letting the UPS run till the battery gets low(er) instead of setting it to shut down in the shortest time that allows you to finish what you're doing. Running low is very hard on lead acid batteries. I suppose it is also possible that it came with a...
  9. Can't install serial gamepad controller in Windows 7

    At the risk of necroing such an old topic, the topic and this quoted post in particular has bad info, and is still relevant in that i was just looking into this myself after I had found an old CH Gamestick (serial DB15 connected analog joystick) buried in a pile of stuff I was clearing out. I...
  10. Question Do I need to install monitor drivers?

    Too many questions at once! A monitor driver can give a more accurate color profile, but you can adjust it yourself. If you have compatible digital connections available for both the monitor and video output of the computer, use that instead of analog. Yes it can make the image worse...
  11. Does your tap water taste good?

    Ours is moderately hard, tastes acceptable most of the time but a bit bitter/bad after eating certain acidic fruit like fresh pineapple.
  12. Question want bigger battery in my ups...

    There are two factors that come to mind. I don't know about all UPS brands, but have read that recent generations of APC are too smart for their own good and will artificially limit runtime based on what battery they are supposed to have inside. However, this is speculation by a third party...
  13. Getting Rid of a Red Winged Blackbird

    Pretty sure that doors were invented over a century ago, as were glass windows. Screen windows and doors, 150 years seems about right but probably more recent for peasants who had to settle for cloth. You think that a century or two ago, people would just say "oh well" if an animal was...
  14. Camera lens hazing..

    Is it flat or could take a flat lens? Prying it off and replacing with glass might be the longest lasting option. How old are they? Polishing plastic, toothpaste will work but being such a low abrasive formula, will take a while. Assuming it is a small lens, might go faster using a cotton...
  15. Random foot cramps that will hit, usually if feet get cold or after doing work

    Then you're probably not deficient in potassium but there's also the magnesium in peanuts. How's your calcium intake? Muscles like minerals.
  16. Getting Rid of a Red Winged Blackbird

    ^ How many times would you accept it tearing up your door screen? That's where I feel that it has crossed the line.
  17. The Better Mouse Trap

    What other creatures do you have in your house that are small enough to get caught yet it would be a Bad Thing, aka unintended? Here, there are ants this time of year, otherwise spiders, house flies, and the occasional house centepede or silverfish, crickets that come in through drainage pipes...
  18. Getting Rid of a Red Winged Blackbird

    Nope guys, you are wrong. We read no report of any other birds doing it, yet can assume many other birds have similar access and could. This is not normal. It is an asshole bird. :) Why do people try to pretend that there are good and bad, innocent and guilty people, but it can't apply to...
  19. Getting Rid of a Red Winged Blackbird

    I'm all for harmlessly encouraging birds to move on, and on that note, a toy rubber BB gun, or (low power) green laser pointer at its eyes, or even just scaring the crap out of it enough times (myself, or get a cat or air horn, etc) to encourage it to move on, are things I'd try. If those don't...
  20. Wirelessly connect a Windows laptop to a TV?

    What does your TV support? DLNA? Edit: With that question and the link below, I was just assuming you wanted to play media, then noticed you mentioned Miracast. You want to instead use it as the primary display for the laptop? If so then I'd just use an HDMI cable. Wired is always going to...
  21. Walmart.com - Farberware "Professional" can opener $5.97

    Swingaway is one of the better options, been using mine for 35 years or so, same design except now they have more padded handle grips, though it's not my main can opener which is electric. $11 on amazon right now, sometimes you can find it cheaper but $11 isn't a bad price for it either...
  22. Forum is crawling again

    It had a few seconds lag for me 3+ days ago but has been fine the last couple.
  23. Question Can boot into BIOS but not windows on HDMI

    Just disable or uninstall bitdefender for the time being. You can always add it back.
  24. Which battery trimmer to choose?

    Never tried it but looks expensive. I'd just get the cheapest per foot regular round 0.095" line. I don't know who has the best deal on it these days since I'm still using a spool I bought years ago, but there's 855 ft for $30...
  25. Question Can boot into BIOS but not windows on HDMI

    Doubtful, GPU problems tend to be all or nothing, not so much a failure to do only windows specific elements.
  26. Which battery trimmer to choose?

    Hard to tell by the pics but probably just some sharp edged line like I mentioned previously. It will cut slightly better but due to lower amount of material, will wear away and sheer off faster.
  27. News New adware coming via Windows Update

    It's not about just finding some token gesture of a software that can do a task. It's about having an order of magnitude more choices on which software you use. I don't want to find alternatives for the software I've become proficient at using for years. It's not just the learning curve for...
  28. Which battery trimmer to choose?

    It is a typical head setup where you push the tabs on both sides simultaneously. Try propping it up, upside down, and pushing with both thumbs.
  29. Tesla Cybertruck

    ^ Except multiply the complexity of whichever ONE thing you had on your mind, by the # of components in a vehicle. Merely having a clean room? There's a lot of chips on a modern vehicle...
  30. News New adware coming via Windows Update

    Yeah, consider being able to disable it, a MS trial run for it being forced on you for Win12... because just like always before, the legions of shills will tell you that whatever MS does, it's important to update to latest windows because the sky is falling. Something something security. Meh...
  31. Which battery trimmer to choose?

    Yes 0.095 is 2.4mm. Traditional round line lasts longer and is usually the best choice, but with small underpowered trimmers that bog down, then line with sharp edges (instead of round) can help offset that. Bump feeding line is pretty self explanatory. Only bump it hard enough to get more...
  32. Which battery trimmer to choose?

    In addition to that lxskllr mentioned, it is harder to trim in general with a blade, because it is shorter, can't get under objects, can't sacrificially (accepting breakage of line) trim right up against objects without damaging that object (fences, walls, etc) or the blade or trimmer itself...
  33. Which battery trimmer to choose?

    The one you bought is the best of all the trimmers you have linked. Why do you feel that you need a blade for it? A blade should only be needed for brush, bushes and vines and such. I did not see enough in your lawn picture to need a blade, and it will be harder on the drivetrain which tends...
  34. Random foot cramps that will hit, usually if feet get cold or after doing work

    You need to cut a banana lengthwise, and put crunchy peanut butter in the middle, like a sandwich. Put this in your shoes. :) ... or eat daily, your call. Do not eat if you are allergic to shoes. After not eating long enough, that's less weight on your feet. Kidding aside, I think you need...
  35. Question Ram Upgrade DDR3

    The gain of moving from 8GB to 16GB is much more than the small potential drop in performance if any, but only if your use needs more than, say 6GB of memory. 6GB not 8GB because having plenty free to do file caching, makes a more significant difference when running from a HDD instead of SSD...
  36. Question Flash Drive/USB Hub/Motherboard combo Issue

    I would try another, different hub. When you wrote powered, you mean a separate AC/DC adapter for it? Eventually those can fail, trying a different adapter is another option if you have one lying around, though if the only thing in the hub at the time that single USB flash drive, I'd expect...
  37. Question Is the cost of fixed storage always going to come down

    If those old 2nd hand HDDs work for you, great, but personally I will buy a lot of different things used, but not HDDs. My bulk storage HDDs are just whatever WD or Seagate where cheapest/capacity at the time I wanted more, and then anything important is backed up onto offline externals, and...
  38. Question Best $10-20 used graphics card on eBay for old PCs?

    That auction has over two days left, is probably going to close around $70 delivered.
  39. Question Best $10-20 used graphics card on eBay for old PCs?

    I bought a 1060 off ebay not too long ago. You might get lucky and win a middle of the night auction but otherwise, $40 +S/H was about as cheap as the 3GB version gets, and around $50 +S/H for 6GB ver. Granted, both are over 75W so need PCIe connector power input.
  40. Question Best $10-20 used graphics card on eBay for old PCs?

    What are these minimum requirements, and what imaging app? The thing about cheap video cards is there are often two camps of sellers. On the one hand, there are sellers pricing them like they think people are desperate to get the same thing they had, outlandish prices that make no sense...
