    Computer Issues

    Try turning the brightness down on the monitor. I had the same thing happen about 4 years ago to my Samsung. Like joeboo I am bad with soldering but read somewhere that turning the brightness down helps. 4 years later the monitor is still fine.

    It's an iPhone 5 but that is quite irrelevant. I'm sitting in the exact same spot that I tested the iPhone at (two fucking feet away from the router) and I'm getting 4 Mbps on the S3. I used to 30-40. Something is fucked up with the phone, no idea what it is though.

    More problems with my old S3. This time through my home Wifi network. My internet on my computer tests out to about 55 Mbps. My fiance's iPhone is showing 33 Mbps. My S3 is showing 4.11 Mbps in the exact same spot as her iPhone. It i has been slow as hell for days. Wtf? I've not tested on...

    I got raped in March on my overages with Verizon. I was on a project site for a few days and ended up going over my data so far I got dinged for an extra $40 on my bill. My plans blows dick though, I need to get that fixed at the end of my contract.

    Get aASUS Profor your motherboard imo. It has built-in WiFi if you really need it. Also, if you can stomach it (I had no issues) just buy Windows 8.1 offTrade your software here!. You can get it for $10 there. Download an updated torrent to install it from a USB. That'll save you $70~.

    I'm a little out of the loop on routers these days. My brother received a free router with a SlickDeals package with a modem. Modem is great, router sucks balls. Can anyone recommend a router for a house that runs netflix/games/streaming at the same time and must have decent wireless. He doesn't...

    I should clarify and say by airport I meant in Highland Park... but fair enough. I travel quite a bit for work and in other areas T-Mobile in the past has sucked out of the metro area (just my experience) but that was a few years ago. It is mind boggling still that anyone can get 30+ Mbps...

    My GPS seems to have resolved itself after re-installing FasterGPS... or maybe that wasn't it. But it is working fine now. I ran a speed test on my Verizon phone earlier near the airport and was getting 34.5 Mbps. Did I miss something or what was so good about the Sprint one?

    Well, the issue started for me when I landed in Tampa, but my phone was acting REALLY weird at the airport before we took off. The internet said full 4G yet data wouldn't work at all, for instance. We took off, landed in Tampa, and I had to use my innate sense of direction to get to my...

    Forgot to mention I had done this too (derp). It didn't help either. I just wiped FasterGPS, hopefully it helps. I'm nearing my upgrade time but still, it is annoying as hell.

    Last Friday my GPS on my Samsung Galaxy S3 suddenly started to not lock on very quickly, if at all. I traveled from Minneapolis to Tampa and when I got to Tampa it just would NOT get a good fix (which made using Google Maps or Waze for directions a total pain in the ass). It eventually was...

    How do you archive your digital photo library?

    There are other programs that can do that, but Drive does not have it built in.

    How do you archive your digital photo library?

    Sharing with Google Drive is pretty easy too. You can share individual folders, or files. Right click on the file/folder -> Google Drive -> Share. Change up your options, done.

    Windows 8

    Right click the start button and click on "Settings". Click the "Start Menu Style" tab. Selection "Windows 7 style" button. Click OK. Done. Or you can change it to whatever style you like there. You can customize the shit out of it. Also I'd suggest clicking on the "Windows 8.1 Settings"...

    Huh? There is a setting to change it to be EXACTLY like 7. I'll take a look later but if you dig in the settings its there.

    Yeah that makes sense. Anytime I'm on a server with low pop I stay above 60 with absolutely no problem. Stormwind/Vale even on my computer in Korgath rapes it's FPS though.

    So much is tied to how fucked we've been since the gold standard was abolished. It's a shame so little people know about it.

    I have an i7-4770k OC'd to 4.8 Ghz and a 780 Ti OC'd. You do not get 60 FPS in town unless you live on a low pop server. Raiding? Sure, no problem. But if you go into town and there is anymore that 50+ people I'd love to see you maintaining 60 FPS.

    That motherboard has built-in WiFi, you shouldn't need an additional one for it - assuming that is why you're asking. Also, you can get a SD Card hub off Newegg.

    No taxes either vs. paying taxes on Google's site. I could be wrong on that though?... I don't see taxes on eBay when I go to process the order vs. $30~ or so on Google. So more like $45 savings but YMMV. Just thought I'd share for people who don't browse Slick Deals.
