Maybe something with vanilla... or even some Turkish coffee if they can pull it off.. ☕

Why isn't that an option available yet? 🙂

😬

I found it online, but I always prefer to compare prices first... if the web price is better, I'll just order it from home. But if it's cheaper to grab it while I'm out for a walk at the local grocery store, then I’ll head out and pick it up myself. 😁

Thanks, I'm going to run over to Algoritms... 👍

Does anyone know where I can pick up a book light? (I’m not entirely sure what we call them here in the States 🤷)

CHECK THIS LINK

That said... doing what's mentioned above could mess with your system stability, so I wouldn't recommend it.

During the installation, I told him to just go ahead with those drivers anyway... and it turns out the cards actually work with them... they just won't play nice with the specific software that came bundled with the cards...

So, I'm not going to mess around with the drivers. Fixing the software side should be easy enough...

Thanks, guys....

Benjamin King2 said:Worst case scenario, the device just won't work... which driver are we even talking about here?

The TV tuner cards... the worst part is they actually work hardware-wise... 😬 but since the software is dead, I've just been using Media Center for now. 😁

Benjamin King2 said:What's the point of F8? Does the motherboard have a specific function assigned to the F8 key, or are you trying to boot into Safe Mode?

advanced boot options>disable driver signature enforcement

I've been running into some trouble with "unsigned drivers" on Windows 7 lately...

Has anyone here tried this? Does it actually work?

Or does anyone have a better suggestion besides just tapping F8 during startup?

Thanks,

The music for that commercial was composed by Blank, Will & Denker—they're a specialized agency that handles scoring for advertisements... so it's going to be pretty tough to track down a copy of it elsewhere. 😬

1. Of course it makes no sense. The people listed in these "profiles" aren't even real people.
2. It’s an international scam. They just swap out the language depending on who they're targeting, but the content is always the exact same scheme.
3. It's all designed to dodge legal scrutiny. This isn't some legitimate service for reaching someone with a profile; it's just a way to bleed money from naive people.

FOX on the third channel, NewsNation on the fourth... 🤣

Look, you don't have to reply if you don't want to... but just know the question is still hanging there. 🙂

William Green4 said:Is it better to go with a PDF or just stick to a dedicated thread on Home Depot? That’s the real question here.

Since we're talking about Home Depot, I assume this means everything should be set to automatic and saved as a PDF.

William Green4 said:No, they're asking about it somewhere else...
And you were supposed to send some greetings my way...

Tell them to give it another shot.

William Green4 said:People have called him out on that fact more than once—back when you were still playing in the sandbox.

So, you're telling me I should have provided the citations? Are you suggesting that if I had voiced my concerns—or even if I had flagged this to you earlier—you would have actually listened to me?

William Green4 said:I definitely filed a complaint under my old username...

So how do you justify reporting someone who only shows up on the forums two months later?

William Green4 said:I am, actually. I try to be civil, unlike your aggressive tone.

🤷 When you put it that way...

William Green4 said:Since I heard that posting about the President isn't even a crime anymore, I'm really itching to post about how the mods handle things in the Democratic Party....

Go ahead and post it... 👍

William Green4 said:And I’ll repeat myself and explain exactly why that signature bothers me...
I only realized later that the signature is a saint compared to your grammar...

Look at him trying to lecture someone on grammar... 🙏

William Green4 said:I know, but it just doesn't work for the users...

Right.. they're burying complaints just to get you back on the thread🙏

William Green4 said:Well, when people start asking about problems elsewhere, you just have to point them back to your PDF and all that invaluable expertise of yours...
I guess you just have to justify why you know so much and why you get to decide what's actually on topic and what isn't....
Anyway, I'm done with the generalities with you.

You called me an insult, but you didn't actually say anything smart... you've been doing this same thing in previous threads too... 🙏

William Green4 said:Basically, this pattern of behavior is well-known....
The mods troll the thread, then the admin comes in and locks it down, claiming everything has already been said...
Enjoy.....

You're the one who stumbled into this thread out of nowhere without saying a single meaningful thing about the actual topic... which really shows how much you know about who is actually trolling...

Next time you sit down to type, expect to be hit with the exact same question (reporting things before they even happen).

👋

William Green4 said:This is getting personal, especially since you caught me in a lie.
I told you this using my old handle.
But you just have to stick to your guns, don't you?

Back on an old thread here on the NATO forums, you mentioned that Dess and I didn't help you out when you complained about someone's signature. You said it wasn't worth much, but you claimed you sent a report from your old account. The thing is, that old account was banned at the end of May, yet the guy you were complaining about didn't even show up on the PDF Internet or Home Depot threads until late July...

William Green4 said:I've been disappointed by your intelligence for a while now, and this just confirms it once again.

You’ve always had a knack for insulting people... 👍

William Green4 said:Now you're going to start recycling that tired old joke about fake mods being used to hunt down clones.

On that very same thread, YOU were the one who reached out to tell me what your old handle was. So honestly, I have no idea what kind of spying you think is happening.🤷

William Green4 said:You're mistaken; I won't be anywhere near the PDF Internet discussions as long as you're busy lecturing everyone there.

That works for me.😘

William Green4 said:you don't really know the situation.
That shouldn't be an excuse.
Besides, if moderators on this forum get to decide what counts as "cultured" behavior, then granitefox16 deserves an award for politeness.
There are plenty of much worse examples among the moderators themselves.

And honestly, you shouldn't just blame the internet; you should spit on telecom providers in general. They’re all just run by the same old corrupt crooks.
If you need arguments, I can provide them, but not here on this forum where the arrogance of ignorant moderators reigns supreme.
I won't include you in that, though, so you don't get the wrong idea...

Look at what happened there... did you manage to figure out how anyone could somehow submit a post on vBulletin that wouldn't actually be written for another two months?

Eric Hernandez said:I'm trying to find some middle ground.
Rules do make sense to a degree. I've spent enough time writing and reading online to know that every third post can turn into pure vulgarity. No matter how good the argument is, it still ruins the tone of the discussion it was meant for.
But then again, Edge is right—he should be allowed to vent about whoever he wants whenever he wants, provided he has a legitimate reason. Preventing that would essentially be stifling free speech and killing the discussion itself, because people need to share useful info about certain providers. If it's okay to criticize Bernie Sanders, Mike Krzyzewski, a lipstick brand, Lady Gaga, or whatever else, I don't see why there should be an exception here.
The solution isn't just to slap a rule in the books and start handing out bans, especially since this forum is supposed to be a place for expressing opinions. Plus, rules like these are way too subjective. What we really need is more active moderation if we want to actually find a balance.

Do you really think that same post couldn't have been written without someone losing their mind?
And what exactly would that "middle ground" look like?
How would you structure it so you could rip into a provider without completely destroying the tone of the conversation?

hollowtrucker77 said:under pressure from those massive oil tankers spilling all over the service providers 🙂

🙂 and continuing to block it as well.

@ granitefox16 - If there's an issue with how the rules are being applied, the Admins will step in. They'll fix those two lines in the guidelines and clear your warning.

As for everyone else, please stop derailing this thread just because you have nothing better to do.

Nicole Nelson77 said:A Member of the European Parliament once hit me with 35 points for "subforum rule violations" on this exact same thread. He was so certain of himself, even though the post was clearly marked as "private."

That Member of the European Parliament didn't give you 35 points on this exact same thread and the post isn't hidden at all.

If you feel like you've been treated unfairly, go ahead and report it here.

cosmicskipper39 said:You should probably check with Amtrak directly, because I’m just guessing here. 😉

🤣 😂

So, based on that, does it mean they wouldn't even sell me a ticket if my destination was Podsused, even though I actually need to go all the way to Marof? 🙏

Wait... what does that actually mean? 😬

That’s not actually the case, especially since cosmicskipper39 mentioned she was planning to buy her ticket that way about a month ago...😢

cosmicskipper39 said:At the main station, they told me they wouldn't be able to sell me a ticket from Podsused to Naperville until about a month before the date.

😕

I'll try to dig up the ticket... once I find it, I'll scan it for you.
