PC Upgrade Advice Needed in Hardware ·
Jeremy Lopez57 said:You missed my point. I was talking about how easy it is for people giving advice to blow through someone else's cash by recommending overpriced gear.

PSU:

Yeah, it's a bit beefier and pricier, but you get a 10-year warranty, so it's basically an investment for the future...
Personally, I think the power supply is one of those crucial parts, regardless of what you're using the rig for. Better to overbuy a little than to cheap out and regret it later. In this case, extra headroom doesn't hurt...
I've got the black version of this thing and it runs flawlessly.

A little pricier? It's definitely more expensive than the Seasonic most people would actually pick up. 😂
Seasonic is hands down the best in the business when it comes to power supplies. 👍

If CatholicNewsDaily.com is going to write about monasteries like this, what happens when you strip away all that Church censorship? You start hearing the actual Truth from people in our own neighborhoods who've actually been inside those walls... 🤔

coastalwalker9 said:It is truly quite refreshing to read such confidence. Generally speaking, I have always had a certain appreciation for people who possess a clear sense of direction and a firm grasp on their own purpose.

At times, certain individuals—within a religious context, that is—tend to carry themselves, act, or operate as if they belong to some sort of privileged minority or an enlightened elite. It’s as though they have a guaranteed, reserved seat in heaven, while everyone else is simply left to stumble through the dark. They seem to imply that if others fail to see the light right in front of their faces—or if they do see it but choose to look away—well, that's hardly their fault. (And please, don't take this personally.)

Isn't that precisely the trap for the overconfident—much like their shortsightedness, whether it's born of sheer accident or blatant intent?

(I’m not trying to be provocative here; I just want to get ahead of any potential accusations before they start.)

I have a feeling Alexander Kern58 is going to be pretty let down if they join a convent, considering what actually goes on behind closed doors... even someone like Bernadette Juretić marrying a rich guy seems tame compared to the hardcore temptations waiting in a place like that... 🍿

Sam Wright21 said:Laughter is the only response here. 🤣

I highly doubt Benvenuto Cellini was staying strictly celibate with Brother Bartholomew. 😵

I guess that community you suggested might work out, but let's be real, even there you'll find all sorts of things because people aren't angels, they're mostly just hypocrites... ☕

Henry Jones72 said:Honestly, they’d probably cut off the hands... or maybe even the nose if they stick it where it doesn't belong. 🤔

Just take a breather, you total creep, Henry Jones72...

Sam Wright21 said:Regarding atheists, it seems perfectly fine since we all socialize together—though I suppose some of them can be a bit heavy-handed with their missionary zeal—as for abortion, I don't think we've touched on it, and regarding LGBT issues, we haven't discussed that either, though I suspect they might view it through that tired old lens of thinking someone can simply be "cured."

So, what's the bet on them being misogynists and homophobes? ☕
Probably think birth control is a sin too, and that masturbation is a one-way ticket to hell...
Looking for brothers and sisters in Jesus in Spirituality ·
Sam Wright21 said:I’d suggest looking toward a free-spirited charismatic Protestant church, something like LifeWord. A few people close to me attend there; they call one another brothers and sisters in Christ, and frankly, they seem like decent, approachable people.

So, what's their take on atheists, abortion, and LGBT rights?...☕
Upgrading my DDR3 RAM in Desktops ·
Thinking about just grabbing Pale Moon 64-bit since it actually handles older rigs way better than all those bloated Chrome clones everyone uses these days...

bluesurfer66 said:Which ASUS motherboard are we talking about exactly?

Not entirely sure, just an old ASUS Zenbook from like a decade ago... 🙂
I never said the machine was slow. It’s fast as hell, it just tends to hang up when I have a few tabs open in Google Chrome because it's hungry for more RAM. Everything stays in the memory though, nothing hits the Hard Disk Drive...
Upgrading my DDR3 RAM in Desktops ·
fadedorca66 said:It’d be perfect if you could just grab two identical sticks, but since we’re talking about DDR3, finding the exact same module is gonna be a nightmare... honestly, just throw in whatever you can find that actually works 😁

8GB should be plenty for just browsing, depends on how many tabs you're hoarding though. Why aren't you using virtual memory?

The biggest speed boost you'll ever feel is switching to a Solid State Drive

So, is it better to go with 2x4GB instead of just one 8GB stick, or does it even matter? 🤔
The OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
If I theoretically upgraded to a Solid State Drive, would I still run into those memory issues when opening a bunch of browser tabs, or would that fix it too?
Upgrading my DDR3 RAM in Desktops ·
So, I’ve got 2x4GB Crucial DDR3 RAM in my rig right now... thinking about upgrading to either 1x8GB or just grabbing another 2x4GB from the same brand, or does it even matter who makes them at this point? My ASUS motherboard is basically a relic from over a decade ago, running an i3 dual-core at 3.4GHz, and I'm still rocking a standard 1TB Toshiba Hard Disk Drive instead of a Solid State Drive. Every time I try to open more than a couple of tabs in Google Chrome, the system starts gasping for air like it's out of memory, so I figured I'd ask... 🙂
PCI to PCI Express adapter? in Hardware ·
Jack Cook7 said:There’s actually an adapter out there that lets you run a PCI Express card in a legacy PCI slot... though you'd have to mess with the voltage levels—like jumping from 5V to those 5/3.3V combos—plus deal with the power delivery and signaling issues...

It all comes down to speed... Standard PCI tops out at around 1Gbps, whereas even an old-school PCI Express x1 setup starts at 2.5Gbps with Gen 1, jumps to 5Gbps with Gen 2, and just keeps climbing from there depending on which revision you're running...

So even a basic USB 3.0 setup running at 4.8Gbps on a PCI Express card can start choking your performance if you're trying to run multiple ports at once... which is a whole different beast compared to the old USB 2.0 stuff topping out at 480Mbps...

Here's an example of what that kind of card looks like...
Just saw this StarTech PCI Express card on Amazon... looks like a decent enough way to grab some extra ports if you're messing around with an old rig... might be worth picking up if you can find a deal...

So you basically have to figure out which version of the PCI Express slot you're working with on the motherboard, what revision the card is, how many lanes it’s got... it's a whole thing...

Much appreciated. That’s exactly what a real pro sounds like... 👍
PCI to PCI Express adapter? in Hardware ·
If the adapter's sitting at around $167 (just eyeballing it here), you might be better off just grabbing a whole motherboard with PCI Express slots already on it... 😬
PCI to PCI Express adapter? in Hardware ·
So if I’ve got some PCI Express card—not even a GPU, just a random one—and I’m trying to jam it onto a motherboard that only has those old PCI slots, is there actually an adapter out there or am I just out of luck... 🤷

Eric Adams - Mayor of New York City, Part 4 in Political Scene ·
Kate Hill2 said:Author unknown New York City captured some shots of landfills in Denver. Hoping our local dumps would look like that is just wishful thinking—mostly because people here seem to have this "not my problem if it's dirty" attitude.

He filmed one dumpster, not all the dumpsters in Denver. I could film downtown New York City and tell you it's basically Zurich... if they didn't have a Bandicoid running things for twenty years, maybe. And where are the photos of the dumpsters in Vienna? Maybe they just aren't photogenic...☕

Sam Wright21 said:Regrettably, I don't think so. 😢
She couldn't quite pull an idea together back when she held her ministerial post, but looking at the current landscape, she still seems to be a step above both the present lot and those common thugs.

So, basically, Taritaš is the superior choice even though she's a proven thief, but Tomašević isn't? Logic has officially left the building... Honestly, Tomašević would probably be having a much better time without voters like you dragging him down... You should've just voted for BM365 instead...☕
Eric Adams - Mayor of New York City, Part 4 in Political Scene ·
Sam Wright21 said:They aren't just lowlifes, they're actually pretentious elitists, clearly... Eric Adams, Bandić, and a few other high-ranking bureaucrats will probably just chill in some comfortable opposition until they retire. Korlaet will likely end up back at university, since this whole thing was a massive mistake on his part.

Nikki Haley honestly would have been a way better choice.

You gotta be kidding me.
The golden glow on Nikki Haley's moral image has definitely started to tarnish...

quietrider16 said:Of course, typical luck... they were working fine last night, then I get home from work today and suddenly the right side is dead. Tried everything except tearing them apart and nothing works. They're my SteelSeries Arctis Nova bought about 3 years ago, pretty sure the warranty is long gone. Got them at Best Buy. I'll check the box just in case, but yeah, probably toast. Might try to take them apart, but honestly, it's probably time for an upgrade...

SteelSeries was easily the best, but it seems like they aren't even on the shelves here anymore, or at least the models I bought 3 years ago are all anyone carries. What's a solid best buy right now for maybe $167? Looking for some suggestions. Obviously needs a mic and a volume wheel 🙂

Maybe try Logitech. I've cycled through all sorts of different brands and ended up back with Logitech because their stuff doesn't just die the second the warranty expires or if you look at it the wrong way. If SteelSeries was actually good, I can't even imagine how bad the others are. It feels like those newer companies are just built to fleece people for quick cash—I mean, SteelSeries isn't exactly new, though Wikipedia says they're part of Poly now, while Logitech has been the same name for decades. Some of these brands are just total scams, like Prestigio, where the mice always quit right after the warranty ends...

Republican Party - General Discussion in Political Scene ·
Matthew Booth said:Honestly, the Republican Party is a total disgrace to this country. I mean, anyone with even an ounce of backbone wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole—but the real issue is that this nation is crawling with people who have zero integrity left.🙂

And that's exactly how they win elections.

Carl Mendoza52 said:it does more harm than good

He actually helped them out at first, but they kept calling him anyway. If he’d just been great initially and then went downhill, I might get it, but nah. It's just like that nutcase David who wandered off into those sketchy websites and YouTube channels. Reminds me of another crazy one: Domazet Lošo. Then you've got Judge Zlatko and Father Kaćunko. They all had their five minutes of fame before crawling back under whatever rock they came from...☕
