I grew up in Georgia, and when I was in elementary school, my mom had a friend with a couple older boys who lived in California. Every year, when they would grow out of their clothes, I would get a giant box of the coolest California clothes like Op and Quicksilver. I used to think I was so cool in school.

Typing abusive is a trigger for them.

I’ve generally had good luck with hardware and things just worked under linux. But one day I upgraded a few machines on my network to 2.5G ethernet. Several already had the ports, but my little NUC NAS box didn’t, so I installed a 2.5G usb ethernet dongle. No matter what I did, I couldn’t get it to work. It would show up and NM would act like it was up and there were no errors or anything, but it just wouldn’t actually function.

Eventually, I found out that it has a built in USB data partition that contains the drivers for windows. The card was coming up as a usb disk first when the hardware was assigned and not a network card which it should have been.

I had to write a blacklist the usb modules first, which I had done before, but I had to also write a udev rule to automatically add the network card and driver on boot. It wasn’t that difficult to actually do, but I had just never had to do anything with udev rules before. Took me a good three days of troubleshooting to finally get everything to work correctly on boot.

Not really. It’ll be fine. An amp that puts out 25W per speak will blow those speakers if you turn it up to max volume on a good reciever.

“Now what they know about the banana and mayonnaise?”

If you don’t need 4k and or 120hz, there are probably a million of them that people dumped when they were forced to upgrade :/

yeah, just about anything these days will work… This was literally the cheapest HDMI reciever on ebay. Hell, you can probably go to Goodwill and find one.

Fuckin’ A!!!

I got so tired of them that I actually answered one a few weeks ago. I was shocked that an actual person answered.

I asked to be taken off and she was very nice and they actually did it.

Haven’t received one since.

You can curse on the Internet

You can see the awful, misaligned panel gaps in those photos.

It wasn’t a suggestion at all.

I was just saying that we, the consumer are going to end up paying for it somehow or another.

That’s what I’m going with too… or to more easily see the angle of the boom.

TWO MONITORS!

Like they’re going to just take the lack of those fee profits off the bottom line. Look forward to the new and/or increased yearly fees now.

The sound of the “Click of Death” still haunts me.

We had Jazz drives too, which just failed and caused you to lose a larger amount of data than a zip.

zzzzziiiiippppp

Nice find!

I’d be curious to see RTINGS do a review of the panel on it.
