    Windows 10

    Video I watched yesterday said Microsoft would help you get your files back. They called Microsoft support and the person they talked to had no idea what they were talking about. I did the update but been getting update notifications daily I guess they are shoveling stuff out in an attempt to...

    Computer Issues

    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.

    Computer Issues

    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...

    Windows 10

    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...

    Same. Antec 300 I bought close to 10 years ago. Basic no frills large case. Cable management I've never had an issue I just zip tie the stuff out of the way. 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...

    I've read a lot of complaints about stuff disappearing with the patch. I've had it since late yesterday. Only notice it bricked my itunes saying I needed a library. Only use it for podcast so I just listened to it today on the website. Probably have to reinstall it. Luckily I just switched to 10...

    The Machinist

    The only machine that bothers me is the threading tool in the shop. Mostly because they misuse it a lot. If they thread a piece a foot long it works OK cause they camp it down. When they thread one end of a 3/4" bar that is 20' long for sag rods they put one end up in the machine and leave it...

    I don't have a real diagnosis of MS. But the MS doctor at the MS clinic was like take this, no side effects and it won't hurt.

    It's real. I found it "odd" to start with the nurse they send couldn't be just a nurse. It had to be their nurse. Also you coudn't take the first injection at the office of the Dr. that prescribe it. Once you get the shipment overnighted they would send "their" nurse. The nurse mentioned several...

    Copaxone. I'm not on it for other reasons. I'm not a fan of having all the information being funneled to the patient thru the company that makes it.

    Does this sound odd as hell to anyone else? I know little to nothing (mostly nothing) about the healthcare industry.

    What I use most of the time. I play really clean and use the compressor on the pocket pod and feed it thru headphones or my amp. Mainly use it for headphones and just use the compressor since it works and I already had it and it was apparently the one thing I kept handy moving around. Fit in top...

    No idea, not a machinest so have no idea with a turret lathe is. I'll take video if I think about next time I go in which doesn't happen all that often now. Anyway we have 2 of them that have always been termed "vertical" lathes. One has a table you put the part being machined on and it fits...

    30 years of playing and I never played with a distortion pedal. Normally I play really clean with only a compressor pedal. But I lost my looper pedal in my multiple moves lately. Which means I'll buy one and find it the next day. So maybe I'll buy the cheapest one so mine can show up the next...

    I need a new looper pedal. Don't need a whole looper station as some of them I've seen. Nothing much fancy, but probably longer than 50 second loop I've seen on some of them. Loop and over dub. Ditto seems to be the popular choice and I saw the Boss series. Any other ideas?

    They don't want a launch date. A launch date will cut off the cash flow from the whales who dream of whatever and pour money into them. Assuming it's not a giant money laundering deal.

    I can't be of any help. The only machining we do is on a type of machine they don't make anymore I don't think. Vertical lathe made for doing driveshaft and flange work in WWII. Still going strong and does what we need for turning plate we cut on the plasma table to manway flanges and pipe...
