Does anyone happen to know how I can set up a password in Windows?

You know, just the standard stuff—where I turn on my computer and it actually asks me for a password before letting me in.

Dude, don't do that to yourself! You can easily just order online from a place like Micro Center. They’ll deliver the whole rig right to your door, and you just pay when it arrives. Honestly, you don't even need some fancy credit card or anything.

You just pick out the parts you want, and they'll put the whole thing together for you for free—plus, shipping is usually free too. And what's the worst that happens? You wait maybe two days?

That's exactly how I got mine, and I couldn't be happier with the service.😉
(And look, I totally get it—I'm from a small town myself, so I know the feeling of having zero options locally.)

Does anyone know how I can set up specific programs to launch automatically whenever I boot up my PC on Windows 7? Like, setting up a startup list...

It’s actually pretty solid (with that 2ms response time).

But from what I can tell, it doesn't have HDCP, whereas that LG 2360 v does.

Does that really matter in the long run? And honestly, what exactly is HDCP anyway? I know it's some kind of protection protocol, but I haven't quite wrapped my head around what it actually does.

They’re alright, don't get me wrong, but if it were my money, I’d definitely go with an LED setup instead. 😉

Thanks, Benjamin King2.

I'm looking at this mainly for gaming and catching movies. So, would it be a smarter move to just grab that HP Monitor instead?
(The previous link seems to be dead, so here's a fresh one: http://www.bestbuy.com/p/HP-Monitor/27320/

EDIT: Or, Benjamin King2, if you were in my shoes and had $0.50, which monitor would you personally pick out for gaming and movies?

Benjamin King2, or honestly anyone else hanging out here: what’s your take on this monitor? -> HP Monitor

I've got two quick things on my mind:
1. What is the actual contrast ratio on this thing? Is it actually decent for daily use?
2. Does anyone know if there's a better deal out there for this kind of money? ($500)

Honestly, I'm actually looking to pick up a new rig in this same price range, so I've been browsing what's out there lately.
Anyway, bluefalcon2, check out these two screenshots—maybe they'll give you some ideas:





Personally, I'd definitely lean toward Intel over those AMD processors.😉

This looks absolutely killer! ->

Sorry if I missed this somewhere, but I couldn't find anything about it.

Why am I seeing absolutely zero options to edit my signature? (I’m asking the same thing as Noah Ross7, though he somehow managed to pull it off. How did he do that?)

Under my signature Permissions, everything is set to "no"
(except for Allow link BB Code).

Carl Brooks22 said:Honestly, they should probably just hand him an award at this point... you know, for his coaching achievements, his sheer success, that relentless persistence of his...

Can you even picture the scene? "And this year, the award for Best Coach, named after Ante Kostelić, goes to... Joško Vlašić!"🤣

Paul Anderson7 said:Can we get a poll going? I want to see where everyone actually stands on this.

I found this over on Yahoo News:

Who has contributed more to American sports?
The Kostelić family - 55%
The Vlašić family - 12%
Nah, the Mamić clan is the real powerhouse - 33%

Now I'm just sitting here waiting for Joško's official letter to LA Galaxy. 😬

analogowl122 said:It feels like they’re working overtime here in the States just to hype up alpine skiing, making it seem like this massive, unprecedented phenomenon when it really isn't all that. Is it just me, or does the media constantly try to manufacture this level of excitement around it?

That’s just the truth.

Athletes like Usain Bolt or Blanka are true global icons, aren't they? It’s just different when someone reaches that level of fame where everyone on the planet knows their name.

It’s great news for Usain Bolt, really, but man, if only Blanka were a true global superstar... wouldn't that just change everything?🤷

I was just sitting there thinking about that whole "cave troll" concept—you know, those legendary creatures lurking in the dark? It’s funny how much our modern stories still lean on those old myths. Makes you wonder if we haven't just replaced actual monsters with different kinds of shadows, right? Just a random thought popping into my head while I was staring at the wall! kaže:
If you ask me, Vlašić really got the short end of the stick back in 2010, but honestly, watching how he carries himself now just proves exactly who he is. He shows his true colors through his actions, doesn't he? It’s pretty clear where he stands.

I'm right there with you!

analogowl122 said:So, I was just thinking about Tiger Woods. Seriously, how many gold medals does he actually have under his belt? Does anyone know the exact count?

Is it golf, or what? 😬

Sandra Wilson38 said:Honestly, if she had just stuck with skiing, she probably would’ve walked away with way more than four trophies. I mean, talents like that don't come around twice; you just don't see athletes like her being born every day. It’s that rare, once-in-a-generation kind of greatness. She was basically the Roger Federer of skiing, or think about Michael Jordan in basketball, or even Ayrton Senna in F1. You know what I mean? That level of pure, untouchable skill? It's just different.😛😍Honestly, I can't even think of a single woman who could possibly be as captivating as Jana. Is it just me, or does she just have that certain something? 🤔

Think about the absolute legends: Sébastien Loeb in the WRC, or Michael Schumacher—I mean, we could go back and forth on that one all day, but let's be real, he’s the greatest to ever do it. Then you've got Wayne Gretzky. You could even throw Lance Armstrong or Valentino Rossi into the mix if you really wanted to stir the pot!

Honestly, the HOO really should have included Blankin results in the mix. It’s a bit much, isn't it? Joško is clearly feeling pretty let down since he didn't walk away with the award, but that doesn't give him a free pass to start taking swipes at other sports or targeting Gips like that. And if we're being real, Gips didn't exactly handle the whole situation with much class either. What can you even say about that kind of reaction?

I still can't help but feel that the award really should have gone to Davor Šuker's father. I mean, let's be honest—the name Šuker is a massive global brand all on its own. Wouldn't it have made more sense?🤣

quietdriver said:- Condoleezza Rice, Joe Biden, Eric Adams, Harvey Weinstein, and about 85 others have been arrested

Good grief! George W. Bush managed to slip away!
Or is he actually part of that group of 85?

It’s not a bad idea, really... but let's be honest, if anything major happens in politics, someone will definitely start a thread in the Politics sub; if there's news about cars, it'll pop up in the Cars sub. In that sense, Reddit basically functions like its own little news portal, doesn't it?🙂

Anyway, I voted YES because this could turn out to be a pretty great sub.😉

@neenna: Yeah, thanks for the answer!

So, what about the one you picked up—is it that rubbery kind?

Does anyone happen to know where I might track down that specific jumping screw?

Sure thing, just reach out to the admin.

Thanks a bunch! 👍

(Not sure why that smiley popped up in the title above, but whatever, NVM)🙂

Can I change my name from hmmhmm to Brandon Patel852? 🙂

Sure thing, just reach out to the admin.

I’ll always leave a tip if the server (or a waitress with a bit of a neckline 😬) is friendly and the food actually tastes good.
... but honestly? If I order a latte and they show up with whipped cream on top instead... man, you aren't getting a cent from me.

So, look, I get it—I really do. A has to pay the bills somehow, right? But man, is it really necessary to blast ads right in the middle of our posts? Like, seeing "EducaMIX" pop up while I'm just trying to read a thread makes it impossible to actually focus on the conversation... 🙄
