What could have been? I do remember articles about this and I think there was a demo of it. Cool concept.

Thoughts? I am maxing it out at 128GB. The case is still on the table. I have no interest in an external graphics card.

I have never seen such in-depth reviews of computers before. This guy tackles every single metric and even has thermal maps. This is an autist’s paradise.

Annoying RGB Computer Hardware Issues?     (Computers)
submitted by GrayDragon to Computers 8 months ago (+2/-0)
13 comments last comment...
While struggling to turn off all this RGB shit on my computer hardware, I finally came across this open source tool:

https://openrgb.org/

The manufacturer's software did not even work right. The linked tool turned off all the lights on my motherboard and video card without a hitch. It also has no bloatware and supposedly works cross platform. I highly recommend it if you cannot stand RGB and are having problems disabling the various faggot lights.

How the f..k do I turn off the PC with Windows 11?     (Computers)
submitted by paul_neri to Computers 9 months ago (+3/-2)

Bought a new PC that runs Windows 11 and I can't find the "turn off" button so I'm turning off the computer via its little switch on the tower which is unusual in itself as all my other PCs only had start-up buttons on the tower. Thank you and may god save your queen.

It seems (see link) I might have the "stripped down" (pared) version of Outlook where the function is not available? Any ideas?

This is some kind of fiber optic switching board for a server rack. I can't find any info from a Google search. I have been waiting for a call back from Fujitsu, but nada. If like to see if I can sell this, but I can't find any price info, or anything about it.

Can I kill the "beep, beep" on this device without being connected to the App (subscription) that controls it.     (emporiumhut.net)

https://emporiumhut.net/pages/limited-sales-australia-best-2022-light-bulb-camera?gclid=CjwKCAjw5dqgBhBNEiwA7PryaJ8qAwZwBEoBoslglp7PByTi_FBztQWlDZpbSZaEqE5Wo3V_zx0X7xoCx30QAvD_BwE

1. I don't want to take out a subscription for the device because I don't want all the fancy features (e.g. remote viewing).

2. The device provides basic home security without a subscription i.e. point in one direction and record to SD Card.

3. The only problem is the device beeps loudly every 10 seconds or so and if I could kill that noise I could use the device. My wife said if she heard the "beep, beep" once more she'd flush the device down the toilet.

Even if I could get into the App again (my account has been terminated after a trial free run), I'm still not sure if there is a setting that allowed me to turn off the beep.

What I'm going to try is to download the App again using a different WiFi and different name/email and try to get back in but, as I said, even if I do...will I be able to kill the beep?

I'm thinking of buying this "Light Bulb Security Camera"     (emporiumhut.net)

I don't own a smart-phone and don't particularly want one but I will buy one if it means I can use this device but apparently I can still use the device by installing a TF Card.

So...do you think I've got it clear what's involved:

1. I use the device with a TF card purchased with the item.
2. I buy a TF adapter that enables me to transfer data on the TF card to my desktop PC via a USB cable.

Thanks

That site offers an extension that automates the process with just a single right-click.
It can't get much easier than that.

What Google does though is impose margins of ads on either side of the page which cuts out content.

That's weird, I'm not seeing that.
Sorry, but I'm not about to turn off all my blocker extensions one by one to figure out which one(s) is(are) responsible.

Can you backdate an email by adjusting your PC clock ?     (www.theguardian.com)

copy: @Master_Foo

It seems to me that even if the email has a past date on it, it would need to show a "sent" tag and if it was meant to have been sent to me and is resent with a old date on it, I'd get the email in current time and know it was a fix.Agree.

Computer/e-Mail Question.     (Computers)

Some web sites e.g. politicians/newspapers, have an on-line form you can fill out as distinct from sending an email to another email address. If I complete such an on-line form and lodge it, does my default (?) email kick-in and send the form so that the recipient actually receives an email from my email address so that any alt I've used in the form (different name/different email address) shows I'm lying?

A Non-pozzed computer     (Computers)

Suppose I want to build a computer with as few back doors as possible, but also as "fast" as possible.

At what point did computers stop being only your own property? I want to build one from right before then.

So given no IME and no UEFI; what models can you recommend? No I'm not going to be using it for gaming because I'm a real man. 486? 586? That's about when I stopped paying attention to computer hardware.

Thanks assholes.
