    College Football 2018-2019 Season

    I haven't watched a full quarter of LSU football in about 3-4 years. I hope LSU wins not because of LSU or hate for Alabama, but just so the "LSU will take decades to recover/rebuild after firing Miles:" will have another meltdown.

    Windows 10

    My windows 7 deactivated when I changed motherboards and it just had a little thing on the bottom right of the screen saying "not activated" or whatever. I just moved it to the 2nd moniter till I upgraded to 10 a few months later. So basically nothing as most times can't see the 2nd moniter...

    Tablets

    The company that gave me the surface replaced their desktops with it and everyone had to use a dock with a moniter and keyboard/mouse and such. Seemed like a stretch to me. I use my other tablet just to have something handy to use while doing something else, like while using my telescope at...

    Tablets

    Anyone know of a tablet that would be really water resistant? Several people I know have asked and haven't come up with much. In the field if it rains they normally use rite in the rain paper as a normal tablet or such won't be of much use. The only ones I have used is a Lenovo tablet from...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I have no idea but guessing they want some way to monetize it other than original "box" sales of games. Which seems to be the way things are going or have went now. I could see a Diablo 4 maybe. A remake of Diablo 2 or anything tied to Diablo 2? I doubt it. If you were born when Diablo 2 came...

    The Fishing Thread

    Never fished around Lake Charles. I have done some fishing around Fourchon and Grand Isle but not a lot. The state had to pass a law to put a max on how much Golden Meadow could take as a percentage of their budget from speed tickets lol. I used to work with a Hardison whose uncle (Charlie...

    I read an article I didn't really understand that some ruling in the EU that only applied to Germany that they could unload or sell bulk keys for some reason. If you go to ebay and search for windows 10 keys the majority of them will come up from Germany. Didn't understand why, but I think it...

    From nothing more than a few articles I've read and what has happened to the local hospital and one where my house is they both sold (to different companies) to larger ones that apparently from googling cater in a multitude of rural areas to providing stuff billable by medicaid. Apparently it's...

    Start by looking at group policy and there is a way to disable it or at least let you decide when to do the update. Not sure you get that ability if you don't have pro, not sure.

    We normally don't pay up front and don't get paid up front for stuff. Some stuff will have in the contract that it must meet supplied standards or industry standards and such. The only time any money changes hands up front is on really large jobs some of the end customers will pay some up front...

    Travis county (including Austin) is now under a boil water notice from all the rain and sediment entering the water system. I think yesterday they asked residents to reduce use of water and now boil water notice.

    Never used headphones for gaming. But I live alone which may be a huge contributer to that. Can't remember the last time I shopped for a sound card tho. Maybe a Roland or a Soundblaster.

    If you ever get in one it's pretty neat, except for you just went thru a hurricane and fixing to get it again. But it's incrediably calm and nice weather for a short period. Lot of people walk outside to talk it all in it's so calm.

    Thanks I'll look into the dual boot. Right now I might can avoid it, so might as well push it down the road for now and hopefully it blows over. Any ideas on this one.

    Anyone ever do a dual boot with windows 7 and windows 10? Did it work or total pain in the ass? I installed 10 a few months ago and everything is going OK except when I take my computer to work on a homeade machine at a company. I have a driver in 7 but not 10 and I've not been able to get it...

    I think they removed the old control panel from the start menu, not the tiles but the dropdown in windows/system Still in windows tho, run control panel opens it up. I guess they are phasing it out over time. Also my icons on the desktop seem washed out suddenly with the patch. Maybe from...

    Kind of what I thought as well. Watch a streamer who has a masters degree in remote sensing. He plays a game that is not like the really popular games. I think he averages 3k viewers 3 times a week for 8 hours or something and youtube videos and such. He says he's making enough to live on in...

It's probably not great for a system that need maximum air flow and cooling. But a no frills box it works ok. If I built a new one I'd get...
