I'd bet $1,000 none of you guessed all of them right, and you've just proven my point.
Everyone online has gotten far too bold in assuming everyone knows the abb
Because he always looked like a massive annoying faggot with nothing interesting to say and whaddya know my knee jerk reactions turned out to be an excellent judge of character.
Once again I’m right about everything.
For anyone interested in Japanese or European car models never sold in the US, you've probably heard of the "25 year rule".
For those that don't know the history, basically Mercedes Benz got mad that people were circumventing US dealerships and USDM Mercedes prices by taking trips to Germany, buying a Mercedes, and shipping it back for less than the cost of a US car. To remedy this, they lobbied the government to institute a 25 year law where any car less than 25 years old was nearly impossible to import to the US (there's a handful of loopholes like show cars, which was mostly due to Bill Gates lobbying so he could import his Porsche 959).
Fast forward to today, anyone interested in a
I can't remember if it was an actual word or just a mindset, but I'm pretty sure I remember someone once saying a specific Japanese word referring to their approach to product design, etc.
Essentially, when making a coffee maker, in the US a manufacturer would target the simplest design to offer the lowest selling price, whereas the Japanese manufacturer would pursue the best tasting coffee, easiest servicing, lots of brewing options, high durability, etc. regardless if it costs more. This mentality permeates everything from cars to air conditioners that talk to you to even toilets that play white noise so people can't hear you pee and then have electronically variable bidet settings and ev
I luckily haven't encountered this yet personally (mostly because I don't cheat, lol), but the thought crossed my mind that if I bought a used PC or component I could possibly get banned from online play if the previous owner was a cheater.
Do games ban PCs as a set? Just specific parts?
I guess another way to put this is what PC parts should I be potentially worried about when buying used that it could get me banned?
I swear, every UPS review on Amazon is like "plugged in and started smoking, AVOID!"
Doesn't matter if it's one of the bargain basement $50 ones or the couple hundred dollar 1000w bad boys with the LCD.
I feel like just using a surge on a desktop computer is asking for power loss during a critical update, but I also would like my house not burned down. Is there a reasonable place to look at reviews that doesn't involve idiots that did something stupid that they won't own up to or people trolling? Is there any "go-to" UPS in the IT world? The main thing I'm looking for is 1) won't burn my house down 2) replaceable battery would be nice (I'm learning this old CyberPower is pretty much non
TIL you can overclock your monitor or HDTV to support 120hz or higher with a custom profile, worked on every computer and HDTV combo I've tried so far.
blurbusters.com/overclock/120hz-pc-to-tv/TIL many monitors and HDTVs advertised as being 60 hz can run higher refresh rates upwards of 120hz with a custom profile (even worked on a 2009 Macbook Pro running Bootcamp Windows 10!)
blurbusters.com/overclock/120hz-pc-to-tv/I have a 15" 2009 Macbook Pro that juuuuust barely missed officially supported Windows 10 Bootcamp. I've seen some articles and videos showing ways to modify some text files to trick Bootcamp into doing it anyway, but lots of comments suggest it's really easy to mess up and be stuck with all sorts of issues from non-booting to driver problems like no sound or touchpad issues or no wi-fi.
So...if I install a 64-bit Windows 7 ISO with Bootcamp the way Apple blesses and once that's fully installed and working just upgrade to Windows 10 like I would any other Windows computer and have everything work with the Windows 7 drivers?
I just want to make sure I'm not missing something like Windows 7
