Hey,

I'm thinking about picking up an Xbox through Craigslist. The guy says he’ll just ship it via UPS. He’s out in California, and I’m over here in Newark. My main concern is whether the shipping label or paperwork I get will actually show his real full name and home address. I need to know if I have some way to track him down if this turns out to be a scam and he ghosts me.🙂

Thanks,

Hey,
can someone please take a look at post #282?

A buddy of mine is breathing down my neck because he needs an answer ASAP—it’s getting a bit annoying.

Thanks

Hey everyone,
A buddy of mine asked me to look into something for him...
Basically, he picked up an HP desktop (not sure which exact model). It doesn't have a dedicated GPU—just whatever integrated graphics it came with.
I know it’s running a quad-core processor and has 4 GB of RAM. I’m not totally sure about the power supply, though he thinks it's around 400W, but you never really know what kind of random parts they throw into those pre-built rigs.

So, the guy wants to start using AutoCAD and some other heavy-duty software, and he’s wondering which graphics card would actually be up to the task. His budget is sitting right around $533.
If you guys could toss a few suggestions my way, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Can I ask you a question?

Do you even realize why you're buying a chip that has BE in the name?
If you actually knew, you wouldn't be asking this. Why? Because it means the multiplier is unlocked—you can just crank up the clock speed without having to mess with the Front Side Bus.

If you aren't following me here, you might want to rethink trying to OC anything... especially if you don't want to rely heavily on everyone else to hold your hand.

It’s all incredibly subjective, isn't it?
Everyone has their own take on which actors actually deliver and which movies are worth the runtime...
Personally, I don't bother with trailers at all—if it's an action flick, they just cram all the best stunts into the preview, and if it's a comedy, they give away every single punchline right there

Thanks for the replies—and thanks for the spelling lesson, too.😂

Hey there!

I'm looking to defrag my drive... I was wondering if I should just stick with the built-in tool in macOS or if there's actually a better standalone program out there for this kind of thing? I've heard some things, but I'd rather get a straight answer before I waste my time.

Thanks for the help🙂

I’ve got a quick question—not sure if anyone here uses those overnight contact lenses that supposedly reshape your vision during sleep to lower your prescription during the day. If you use them, I could really use some advice, and maybe where to actually pick some up.

Alright
I just wear standard soft contacts and take them out before bed at night.
Never heard of those overnight ones though.
They actually reduce your prescription???
That sounds insane.

Hey

So I was just scrolling through some forums😂 checking out how people handle OC.
Is it really as easy as they make it sound in those guides???
If you aren't sure which videos I'm talking about, just type "overclocking" into the YouTube search bar.
