    Electrical Question

    So I've moved into this duplex in Cleveland and as it turns out, it was built in 1902. As such, just about every outlet is a two-pronged ungrounded outlet. I've talked to my neighbors upstairs and they said the maintence guy the landlord uses said to buy the 2 -> 3 prong adaptor and flick off...

    Error with m.2 installation

    I wanted to expand my HD so I picked up an SN850 m.2 drive. I have a Strix Gaming e-570, and by everything I can see, I have enough PCI 4.0 slots, including 2 m.2 drive slots. Currently im running an M.2 and an SSD already. However, when I try install the SN580 in my 2nd slot, I get to the...

    Speaker Question

    I'm having an issue where I'm getting a buzzing sound at a certain frequency range. I've taken a video of the issue (a few clips smooshed together). This soundbar is a little over a month old. I thought perhaps it was the optical cable because, as you can see, if I touch it or reposition it, it...

    [Brazelton] Youth is over.

    I turn 30 today. Goodbye youth--I spent all my vitality on booze and spicy food in China. So, when does the balding and backaches begin?

    So, what's the census on the console wars at this point?

    So, apparently I'm getting a game console for Christmas. No one can afford to spring for a new PC, let alone me, so I'm going to end up getting a console and join the peasants for a while. I know some of you have one of more of these, so I'm wondering how it all stacks up, now that the stuff's...

    Stupid Math Problem

    So, I'm feeling kind of dumb, but I have an excuse--I haven't done math in 6 years. I'm doing a pre-calc course, and it's relatively easy, but for the life of me, I can't remember how to simply fractions that look like this: ( one half over negative sqrt of 3 over 2 ) 1 ─ 2 ----...

    Happy Birthday Terrik

    Yes, yes it's absolutely shameless to post my own birthday thread, but in the words of President Obama-"Sue me." Speaking of legal matters, I've been going through a labour dispute for over a month now, that I'm sure I'll detail in a rant someday, but today I'm not going to let that bother me...

    Black screen?

    I've been noticing when playing certain games, I've been getting a black screen after a minute or two (or less) of game time. If I minimize the game, the screen starts working fine after ten or twenty seconds. Now, I googled this particular problem, but most other people's issues include...

    Computer issues of the various kind

    Alright, so some of you might remember that I had to get a card switched out (GTX 580M). Well that's all done, expect for a small issue--I'm missing a 4GB RAM stick. So I went from 16Gb to 12GB--but thats ok, because It's going to be replaced. That all being said: here's whats going...

    Thinking about getting a DS

    I'm in the states for about 2 days for my sisters wedding and I'm thinking about picking up a DS. If I did, I'd have to choose games carefully because the DS is region locked and I won't be able to pick up anything new until I come back to the states again. That being said, if you had to pick...

    Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm

    So. Next Tuesday. Anyone? I was really excited about a year ago but now I really feel kinda 'meh'. Still...it seems kind of wrong not to buy a new Starcraft. I've always been an avid Zerg player and maybe this expansion will deliver the goodies.

    Guys, wake up.

    The sun has to be rising somewhere. The graveyard shift is over. Bring some life back to these boards and entertain me until I fall asleep on my couch.

    Roleplaying....help?

    Alright, I *know* this is kind of a stupid thread, because you're supposed to roleplay what you feel and if someone tells you how to do it, it kinda loses the point and so on, but I'd still like some advice. Recently here in Shanghai, I've gotten together with a couple people to do some 4E...

    I found another kitteh(s)...and need some advice.

    So I got home and cleaned up a bit. I was taking trash downstairs to the outside dumpsters when I heard mewing. Looking into one of the large garbage cans, I saw three little kittens, sitting in there dirty and shivering because it was (and still is) raining. So I went and got a bag and fished...
