I'll give this a shot over the next couple of days and see if I can actually get something to show up on the screen....
I don't quite follow how signal reception relates to that, if you know what I mean. Most of the stuff sitting on shelves in stores today is labeled as an "ATSC antenna," even if those labels don't really account for the technical logic behind it. Any decent antenna—whether it's a simple fishbone, a log periodic, or one of those indoor models—is capable of picking up ATSC signals. The real bottleneck here isn't the antenna itself; it's simply that the TV doesn't have an ATSC tuner built in. The hardware in the antenna isn't the culprit.
I’d suggest pulling up the Event Viewer to check the exact timestamp of when you hit that Kernel Security Check Failure, then doing a quick search for the specific error code. I actually ran into a similar headache once where a certain .dll file tied to my Wi-Fi drivers wasn't loading correctly whenever my laptop woke up from sleep mode. It turned out to be a simple fix—I just had to clear out one specific entry in the registry, and I haven't dealt with it since.
Grab the Western Digital test tool from this link:https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/det...r_windows.html and run a scan on that SSD. Honestly, looking at the symptoms you described, I'm not even sure if we're dealing with a Dell issue here; I'd be more inclined to think it’s either an overheating problem, something funky going on with your RAM, or maybe even a hiccup with the power supply.
Laura Cox5 said:Look, if you actually bother to dig through the building codes—specifically Section 7, Subsection 4f, which is still very much on the books and used in court rulings all the time—it explicitly states that you aren't allowed to build anything that blocks out the sunlight for the neighboring properties. It’s basic stuff, really. Just do your homework.
Alright, but what about the fact that I’m already blocking their sun anyway? Even without adding this extra setback, my house sits higher than theirs, so adding this section won't actually change their light situation one bit. I could see them being upset if I were building a massive wall right in front of their windows and killing their view, but this just feels like a reach. Besides, I have the zoning documents in hand, and they actually give me enough leeway to build two feet higher than what I’m even planning; according to those papers, I could technically bring the roofline up to five feet instead of the three feet I’m looking at.
I feel like I’m not quite getting through to you guys. Both houses are fully legal; the only parts that wouldn't be permitted are those specific additions they tacked on back before '68, plus the new floor I’m planning to build myself.
Honestly, they were building without permits way more than I was; I stuck strictly to the floor plan measurements, but they just kept expanding both outward and upward whenever they felt like it. I really think if they actually go calling in some building inspector, they’re just going to end up digging their own grave because they're just as far out of compliance as anyone else.
Here’s the situation I’m dealing with: there's a single plot of land shared by two families—mine and my cousin's. My house is already taller than theirs, and now I’m planning to add an extra floor. The neighbors are complaining that doing this will block their sunlight, which honestly feels like a total reach to me. It seems like they're just using this ridiculous argument as a way to stop me from building. To be clear, even without this planned addition, my house is already higher than theirs, so adding a floor isn't going to suddenly block their view or anything like that. My main concern is whether they have any actual grounds to stop the construction or if they could somehow come after me later to force me to tear it down. Since we both own the same lot, legally speaking, we're co-owners of each other's properties as well.
P.S. Once we finish the extra floor, our plan is to officially subdivide the lot into two separate parcels.
P.P.S. Just as a side note, they actually built part of their house themselves, and neither of us currently holds a formal building permit; we both intend to go through the standard legalization process once everything is settled.
I don't think it’s an issue with the network card; something else just isn't lining up right here, and I'm starting to lean toward what someone mentioned earlier about the hard drive in the Banana being shot.
Have you tried hooking up the monitor using a DVI or VGA connection instead? If the drivers haven't been properly installed yet, I have a feeling the HDMI port isn't going to cooperate at all.
That setup isn't going to work quite the way you're planning; what you actually need is this: . Since I noticed you already have a 3G/4G router on hand, you can just pop that Mint Mobile SIM card right into it, which means you won't even need to bother with a separate USB modem.
Where on earth did you find 5 GB of RAM? And honestly, I'm more curious about which game you're actually trying to run, since you mentioned everything else except that part.
It’s definitely not going to feel the same if you're running the game on a fragmented Hard Drive. It’ll take way longer to pull up those game files, and since this game moves so fast—with most of the assets basically loading on the fly—you really feel that lag.
I can't say for certain, but my experience was pretty much exactly what I described earlier. Everything in the game was running smoothly until I started doing a lot of heavy reading and writing on that Hard Drive. Once I did that, the stuttering became absolutely insane, though things finally settled back down and started working perfectly again after I ran a defragmentation.
Catch you tomorrow, Jack Alvarez. Honestly, I used to think having a hard drive with only 7% fragmentation meant everything was running perfectly fine, at least until I tried booting up Just Cause 3. I ended up installing the game on my 1TB SATA Hard Drive because my SSD was completely maxed out. Everything seemed totally smooth right after the installation finished. But then, things got weird—after I downloaded about 20 GB of movies onto that same drive and cleared them out later, the game started stuttering like crazy. It turned out a quick defrag fixed the whole mess, and now it's back to running normally.
WinXtoDVD is a fantastic piece of software that delivers really impressive quality, though just like any other tool, you actually have to know how to work it properly. I’ve personally had some great results using it.
There isn't really a way to just toggle that setting off. In my experience, you're usually looking at one of three culprits: either the CMOS battery on your motherboard has finally given up the ghost, or the motherboard itself is failing—though I wouldn't bet on that if everything else seems to be running smoothly once Windows boots up—or, my personal favorite from a recent headache I dealt with, the power supply unit is acting up.
