This is a fresh win11 install (or well.. whatever the factory image install was). I noticed that most of those threads are 2 years old. Wonder if I'm going to need to revert to 2 year old drivers. heh

Not yet, That's starting to look like an option, but I will go last resort on that. Tonight I'm going to cook up a nice fresh linux thumb drive, boot it off that and see how it negotiates as to isolate if it's a windows 11 OS issue. If linux also only goes to 100mbps, then I might box it...

OK. Had a nice windfall (read, big commission check) at work and decided @Mrs. Haus needed a new gaming rig (Keeping the woman who makes your dinner happy is a key to life folks...) So I picked her up this one : https://www.microcenter.com/product/665134/powerspec-g443-gaming-pc Runs like a...

For me, I went the "poop in a box" option which doesn't involve prep. But also I don't have any history of colon cancer in my family....

As I am getting ready to buy land out away from town and start building I am in need of a truck and I'm at the "looking for something built 20-30 years ago that simply refuses to die" end of the spectrum. heh

One reason I'm looking for partially wooded land is that in Texas if you have wooded land and it's known that deer/boar/turkey/whatever feed and cross the land during hunting seasons you can get an agricultural tax exemption for "wildlife habitat preservation" so long as you can show that you...

TBH, A lot of the land I'm seeing that meets my goal profile (20+acres, partially wooded (for hunting), with electric at the road/accessible, preferably water at the road (bonus if it ALSO has a well), bonus points for a pond) Seem to have some type of "hunting cabin/barndominium/single wide" on...

Even the crappy version of Flashpoint they did on the CW show was better than this steaming heap. And Grant Gustin was also a far more likable Barry. (who honestly acted more like the Wally West Flash, but that's a comic nerd nit pick) As for why he was better... I will credit to a 50/50...

Again, you seem to think I want to go "back to those days".... For me it's more of a semi-blackpilled factor of knowing we're heading into a dystopian future, and just trying to figure out which dystopian variant we're gonna land on. My current bet is somewhere between Shadowrun and Brazil...

Make no mistake, I don't have any given level of erectile desire for such an outcome. I just see it as very probable in the long term. We're seeing the first of corporations getting big enough to start pushing back on governments, and unfortunately they will only get bigger over time since...

I'm always wondering at what point these multinational companies are going to take the fight to the government by saying "We manufacture these things in Taiwan/China , ship them direct, they never touch US soil, what authority do you have to tell us what we can't do outside the US?" And the...

I agree with you, but I think it's a time frame question. I think that between now and real "Weimar style" action inflation we're going to get a period where the fed will THINK it has things under hand, and/or the markets tank to the point they have no option but to try more QE and low rates...

I'm the same boat as many of you involving the house. it's 3% and I make more than 3% just dropping it on the SPY (as mentioned). It's "cheap money". The investment path makes sense, but also I have the land goal. I have been eyeing ITOT as the target probably for broad market investment...

OK, So it's once again time to bounce ideas off strangers on the internet... I'm about to hit one of those windfalls you hit in sales (full disclosure, I'm a technical head paired with an account manager selling corporate IT stuff). I landed one of those "you made your number on this one deal...

Oh the classy establishments I frequent.....

The one I got states it's ATSC 3.0, I need to figure out which local channels are broadcasting on ATSC 3 which I can do watching the app on the box, but haven't validated fully yet. Just happy to not have run cables. Not to mention right now it's running on a moderately cheap non-powered...

But but but.... I like potatoes a lot more than I like most other humans. Can we reconsider?

This and the Rustled thread are so close on many days they are essentially quantum entangled with one another.

I hate doing tape and bed work with such a passion... Luckily I have two nephews in the trade I can call upon.

As others have said, the chicken is a little better than average. They do brine all their chicken for at least 24 hours before cooking, so it tends to be really tender. Strangely, if you have left over fingers and reheat them later they taste oddly more like turkey than chicken in my...

Well.. think of it this way. Is Prince their metaphorical stand in for Trump? What would the writers want to have happen to Trump?

Nowhere else to post this, so here we go random strangers on the interwebs... I have a dear friend who I honestly consider probably the closest person to me outside my wife. She married a great guy, they're one of those couples everybody else wishes they could be like. They're both probably...

Well.. everybody HAS been clamoring for BTC to finally get off the 29k mark...

Murphy had never seen such bullshit..... unrelated :

Apparently this is NOT a good strategy to take on one year end review self input...

So.... Got the newest HD Homerun box (Quad tuner) and it was set up and running in under 10 minutes. Every device can get to it and use it. Only remining hitch is getting it to insert it's channels into the combined channel layout on my LG Linq based TV (Which is a thinly skinned Google TV)...

"It'sa ME... God-i-o" - Nintendo 3:16

As someone who works for a company who is balls+ deep into SFDC, and came from a small company where I was the cursed soul who had to be the SFDC admin and deployment lead I can tell you. If it can do mediocre without requiring multiple FTEs to care and feed for it, then it's a better deal than...

It's why I have shifted. These kids are getting inundated with all the training they need on the technologies. I'm teaching them the "Here's how being a customer facing Systems Engineer will work.." and honestly more talking to them about the psychology of working with and sometimes around...

This is a close relative to my experience mentoring new people coming into my company for my type of work. When I refer to when i got started in Cybersecurity I have to mentally frame it as "This is a time before half of you were born (1998)". If I talk about when I got started in IT in...

I dunno about it outdoing MI7.. but it's already ahead of Indy. More surprising, it's in the top 20 for the year worldwide, and hasn't released anywhere outside the US.

You are correct on all points, but you have failed to note this is now the Rocky movie series thread. But you are technically correct

I don't think people are complaining because these movies follow a formula. In fact I think it's the exact opposite. People who know the story of Snow White want to see a viable live action re-creation of it. They then come in and tump over that "formula" but subverting expectations and...

Pretty sure this belongs over in the "You know you're old when.." thread.

Schwab buys Ameritrade, Morgan Stanley just bought Etrade...

OK, So I am looking at one of the homerun devices. This one : HDHomeRun SCRIBE 4K - SiliconDust Am I right in thinking this would be 4 feeds, 4k, OTA off an antenna and DVR? It doesn't seem to show much detail but would I also end up needing to pay for the TV Guide service? (looks like $35 a...
