  1. Downhill with a tailwind, Mercury and Venus aligned to the southern sky, and maybe if at 50mph all the plastic shit falls off. I love the modern corded phone inside. Have to keep it classy.
  2. I saw you at the Starbucks drive through. I like the bumper you put on. http://i.imgur.com/5eBbj7w.jpg
  3. you owe me some electric. http://i.imgur.com/S30UWcg.png
  4. It looks like adobe premiere can take these files. I'm in town right now Clay and I could convert them for you
  5. You can borrow mine. I'm in town. Could have brought it to you if I saw this earlier.
  6. That's exactly what I was thinking with this shit. Months and months of delays, tiny teasers, for something that isn't spectacular in the end.
  7. Because some of CR still doesn't see how it's expensive to be poor and some of you missed the point entirely, here's my explanation. Transportation: Taking the bus cost time and money, when time itself is also money. This leads to the next category. Food/basic supplies: You're poor and don't have a car. You walk or take the bus to a corner store that is more expensive than a grocery store because the bus route to the grocery store in a nice neighborhood is an hour each way. You end up paying more for everything. Housing: You are in cheap housing but your house (and car if you are lucky enough to have one) gets broken into. Regularly. Insurance: What was that about being broken into regularly? There goes your rates. Might as well not have insurance, nothing you own is worth enough to make a claim anyways. Healthcare: You don't have money to get a regular checkup or visit to the dentist. That toothache? Just live with it until it develops into something worse.
  8. I am on a 27" 1440p 144hz, 1080p 144hz, and 1080p 60hz display on one 980ti right now. I have never heard of anyone not being able to have multiple resolutions before.
  9. If you really want some serious cpu power for your photo business just go on ebay and get a hp z820 and put dual e5-2670's in it. Add your 1080, and you can be in the same price range except you'll have 16 core/32 threads of sandybridge dankness
  10. I fucked the USB port on my blue nessie and then repaired it then fucked it again I'll take the audiotechnica. I want something with a big bulky usb port. Fuck the microusb noise on my last mic.
  11. he used to post on here and i think hes banned from chatbox
  12. I actually just specced out a gaming rig for under $600 for a friend Used a HP Z420 as the base. Not exact one off ebay (we got one with more RAM) and will probably upgrade it to e5-1620v2 (slightly faster than a i5-7500k) http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Z420-Workstation-Xeon-E5-1603-2-8GHz-4GB-250GB-Win-7-Pro-1-Yr-Wty-/401073478453?hash=item5d61d79b35:g:4rsAAOSwtnpXkoli Add a video card https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487263&cm_re=gtx1060-_-14-487-263-_-Product and a 480gb SSD for good measure https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F9G46Q8/ref=twister_B01FVDTA0G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 If anyone needed a workstation for photoshop/video editing work, I'd highly recommend one of those or a z620 on ebay. Get one with cheapest CPU you can find, and upgrade to e5-2670 (or a pair of them in the z620) and you can have $700 16 core monster.
  13. I own it, have a good amount of hours into it, have done modding and the campaigns... It has come a long way in the last year as far as optimization, but the nature of the game makes it VERY CPU intensive. If you want to ruin your kid and get him to nag you to drop $2k on a gaming PC for the next few years let me know and you can borrow my rig for an afternoon For anyone else that is interested, this game lets you do everything. Has crazy physics. You can mod the cars. You can break every little part. You can rev cars until belts snap or oil overheats. You can see how long you go with a damage radiator, drive conservatively and it'll cool down a bit. It is much more than a racing game.
  14. http://www.fcmcclerk.com/case/search for Franklin County. It can get you pretty good info sometimes. It has kept us from renting to what we were sure would have been the worlds worst tenant.
  15. Prefer small primer but will take either.
  16. Last week I bought a server off ebay. TL;DR during shipping a impact to the box hit the pcie riser on the rear of the server and ended up fucking the pcie slot The seller has been cool about it, and today he refunded me everything (note: I never asked for him to refund me, just made him aware of the damages) The seller sent me this message Is UPS going to show up at my place and try to take this server from me? Are they just going to look at it and the box it came in? If it matters, value was under $200. I have already ordered a new motherboard since I anticipated a refund from the guy, as well as some other parts that I ordered before the damage. So...do I tell UPS to pound sand or what? It's not MY insurance claim. Lesson learned, don't count your servers before they hatch
  17. All you do is rent the cable card that is inserted into the tivo dvr. They (TWC at least idk about WOW) will also provide, free of charge, a tuning adapter that connects to the tivo via USB that allows it to access special content I have that all set up for my parents as well. The tivo plex app is fantastic I run sonarr/couchpotato/transmission/plex all together on a freenas machine. Works wonderfully with private trackers.
  18. Absolutely. There is a lot of economy of scale involved here, but my parents switched from I believe 2-3 TWC HD DVRs and one regular HD box to a Tivo Roamio, and absolutely love it. The Roamio is being superseded with the Bolt/Bolt+, but is still a good option here. The more TWC/WOW boxes you replace, the faster this system will pay off. Anyways, here's what you need 1x Tivo Bolt/Bolt+ This is your central DVR and most expensive component. What you need depends on how many people you have watching tv in your house or shows recording at once The Bolt does 4k, blah blah blah...it's good okay Bolt, 500gb - 4 shows at once - $184 on Amazon Bolt, 1000gb - 4 shows at once - $299 on Amazon (note, you can upgrade and add external drives yourself) Bolt+, 3000gb - 6 shows at once - $499 on Amazon 1x Tivo Mini for each additional TV. $130 a piece These connect to your main DVR via coax, ethernet, or wifi. From there, you get the majority of the features you would get on the main DVR. Record shows, access recorded shows, whatever. They all come with an RF remote so the boxes can be hidden out of sight. 1x Tivo subscription. This is $15/month, but you will get your first year free with purchase of DVR. There is a lifetime subscription, available, it's like $400 or something. 1x Cable card rental I know TWC charges like $2.50 a month or something. meh. So if you did the most expensive Bolt+, and 3 Tivo Minis, you are in for $890. Ouch. But how much are you spending on cable boxes right now? In my parents case they were spending nearly $75 a month just on box rentals alone. Their tivo system consisting of a Roamio Pro and 3 tivo minis paid for its self in about a year. BUT HERE IS WHERE IT GETS BETTER Every TV you have hooked up to a tivo box is now a smart tv with a awesome RF remote. You now have the following Netflix Amazon Video Youtube Plex SMART COMMERCIAL SKIPPING That plus more, with apps that get updated often. TV manufacturers pump out TVs, maybe put out one update, thats it. It's kind of like the early days of android phones where there was so much diversity that upgrade support was gone within months. The tivo ecosystem is like apple, they have just a few devices, and millions of them on the market, so they are maintained for a long time. Here is what you LOSE by going to your own DVR On demand Show start over feature that TWC offered on some channels That's all I can think of for now. Otherwise the system is great. The DVR is far faster to navigate and search through shows than the junk cable companies give you. The bolt is supposed to be 3x faster than the roamio, so I imagine its pretty kick ass. If you have any other questions about it, let me know.
  19. I hear tons of complaints about cable providers when the vast majority of problems are from the shit equipment they provide you and charge you out of the ass for. Use your own equipment and you won't deal with a shit connection all the time. They provide you with junk, if you don't want junk, don't buy junk. What does TWC charge for a modem/router/wifi combo now. $15 a month? I'm bored, so here's my thoughts for anyone that wants a fast, rock solid network for under $300. This will absolutely shit on whatever your cable company provides you with. Modem: Get a Surfboard SB6190 or SB6183. Anything that does less than 16 channel bonding is outdated. Router: Avoid consume grade. $300 linksys wifi router combo with flashy lights and antennas? It's a piece of shit. Get a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite. $80-90. No wifi, this is a router only and a damn powerful one. Go on youtube to learn how to update the firmware, do that first. Then the guided setup is pretty easy. Wifi: If you want wireless-ac speeds, too bad, run ethernet instead. Go on ebay and pick up a couple Airport Extreme A1408 for $25-40 a piece. If you can't find the A1408, the A1354 is almost as good. These are great wireless access points, terrible routers. Connect one by ethernet to your edgeroute lite, and if you bought multiple you can either run ethernet or configure others as wireless repeaters. You do not need a mac to configure these, just the apple airport utility software. I've been recommending people buy 1-3 of these for years now, you cannot beat the coverage and wireless performance for the price.
  20. People actually doing burnouts? That's a bad start to 2017... (someone post vids)
