  1. lol, ATT offers a whopping 1Mb DSL in my area and T-Mobile isn't sure yet??? if they're in my area(a high rise issue),a new fiber provider is coming to the city but starting on the OTHER side(of course) and even then don't know if they will do the high rise when/if they do this side of town.Starlink isn't coming until possibly 2023...
  2. lol, My provider is changing their name on Aug1, they're STILL owned by Altice but they will have a different name now. The company name currently being used has 2 class action lawsuits against them in 2 diff states and had a settlement awarded against them for 2.2 million in WV for unsafe practices. They had a Tweet that said "Here's what Blank wants you to know"and goes on to show 1 of the reviews they have posted "What's a positive experience I had with Optimum Employees?" "The technician who installed my service was on time and professional" People tore that up saying it was the minimum you should be able to expect in customer service not a positive aspect. Then I responded with
  3. Well, 2 weeks of fairly regular outages with half a dozen techs coming out and finding nothing wrong. Here's what was ck'd and done to finally (we hope)get my internet reliable again. This started with internet going out around the same time each night for 6-12 hours,then POOF! back up.lol Days I had outages in July= 7th,8th,9th,11th,12th,13th,17th,18th,19th,20th,21st. #1 Tech(sub contractor)comes out,ck's my equipment (2 modems,1 ph & 1internet)and they are working so he ck's the connection at the box in our service room and it's working,hooks back up and no signal at equipment.Goes back,RE-hooks it up and has signal. Suggests there's an issues in the box OR with the AMP a couple floors below or the 1 above me(I'm between 2 line amps over 20 years old). Put it in his notes to ISP. #2Next outage I contact provider and THEY say problem was solved. I tell them NOT! They say person came out next day and balanced my signal and reported the issue resolved and I note that 15mins before his time of the resolution report is when my internet & ph went out & stayed out. (He hooked me into the wrong lug apparently) #3 Company tech arrives test my equipment,finds nothing wrong after ck'ing the box(he hooked me back into the correct lug) Tells me he has 25 years experience and doesn't want to hear what the 1st tech had to say.Tells me he doesn't pay attn to their notes and the 3rd party techs HAVE to send them.After his visit,supposedly fixed. #4 City wide outages,damage to local lines,cause 4 day delay in getting next tech while they scramble to fix their crap. #5 Next tech comes out after I've been complaining to a supervisor and replaces the 2 separate modems with 1 modem (1gb WiFi6 telephone) I ALSO find out from property manager that provider had a different tech on the 8th floor working there earlier that day(where the 1 amplifier is)If they replaced the amp is unknown. #6 first 2 days of new modem had outages but seems to have leveled out now.Waiting to see what's next. #7 A side note,the new modem has a usb feature for hooking in printers,ect., and it screwed with the usb print feature on the netgear nighthawk router. Also the default address isn't a 192.xxx.x.x so had to enter the new default into the netgear software manually just to be able to log in and see the WiFi devices that were connecting. Anything to make life easy....
  4. Thanks! Thought maybe I was going batty when it wouldn't do it on other threads 4 me. lol, It's a conspiracy to keep me from viewing your thread... now it's working normal again. I figure later today it'll be awake enough to frustrate me again.
  5. Ok, I normally RIGHT click the notification and open it in a new tab, Pio's new projects notification opens to https://forums.extremehw.net/rigs/view/40/?display=brief&csrfKey=f4b9f8400e82314d01e7ccb784ffa070 when right clicking/newtab option is used. BUT when I just click on the tab it opened fine to here.. lol, It's buggy enough to feed all the Spiders & Lizards at Petco. P.S. I cleared cookies,cache with CCleaner and even overwrote the data that was there,afterwards had to sign back into the site and this was still happening. P.P.S. THIS thread opened with no issues when right clicked/new tabbed, https://forums.extremehw.net/topic/577-build-log-the-manhattan-project/page/10/#comment-28137 So not all threads all the time....
  6. I don't run the evga software with my wife's gtx 950 on Windows 10 so can't say if there's any issue there, BUT my MSI GTX 970 had issues with the MSI software for the card with Windows 10 because they changed support to another software for the RGB stuff with the 1000 series cards and it made background cpu usage up to 20% at idle with the MSI software running with my 970. When I build here a better rig(currently a i7 2700)that will support Win 11 I'll see about upgrading her card also. Probably get me a better 1 and giver her my RTX 2700.
  7. That's what has you worried? When The U.S. already has This? Rethinking Surveillance on the 20th Anniversary of the Patriot Act WWW.JUSTSECURITY.ORG 20 years ago, Congress enacted the PATRIOT Act. It's time to move on from that outmoded model of surveillance.
  8. His personal life and the show are 2 different things. This was Women in the Military at the time of filming, so keeping with the current fashion(mini skirts)he kept it realistic....
  9. "how the women had to dress" have you actually looked at what the styles WERE at the time the show was being made? Don't blame Gene for following the current fashion trends. 1966 Nancy Sinatra(daughter of Frank Sinatra) Signature song and video for it,These Boots are made for Walking... Also interesting for you....
  10. What a great Debut Album...
  11. I feel ya,I pick at the wife calling her a cradle robber and she's like your fifty-six this year! I tell her I'm Fifty-sexy and she laughs.
  12. lol, ok, even windows central updated their story to reflect that it was a OS MADE using Win 98...... European Space Agency to upgrade Mars Express spacecraft from software made with Windows 98 | Windows Central WWW.WINDOWSCENTRAL.COM The Mars Express spacecraft has run on an OS built with development tools based on Windows 98 for 19 years.
  13. They were wondering what hardware it was using and guessed it could probably play Doom.... "The space agency didn’t go into a great deal of detail regarding the specs of the hardware receiving the update, however Tom's Hardware speculated it could have a Pentium 90 processor, meaning it could potentially run classic games such as Doom as well as explore the secrets of Mars."
  14. Mars probe running Windows 98 receives software update after two decades | TechRadar WWW.TECHRADAR.COM Windows 98 lives on in space "Patch management for the latest versions of Windows might be the concern of most of us located here on Earth, but meanwhile, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express spacecraft has received the first update to its Window 98-based system in 19 years." Who needs Windows 11??
  15. Don't know if I mentioned it,but that back plate you made for the card is awesome
  16. Or in some cases, your internet. Drive's like 'C'mon,c'mon,I'm waiting over here...."
  17. That was the best part, the study couldn't get ANY of the big companies to back it because of the possible negative feedback of killing all the test subjects.(It was used on ALL subjects in place of known treatments with some success rate at an early stage.) A small company finally agreed,but when the doctors went to start the test they'd been bought by a large corp. and had to remind the corp the company had agreed to back the test.
  18. Google places an engineer on leave after claiming its AI is sentient FINANCE.YAHOO.COM Blake Lemoine, a Google engineer working in its Responsible AI division, revealed to The Washington Post that he believes one of the... A priest and a AI walk into a bar.... "he admits to WaPo that his claims are based on his experience as a priest and not a scientist." At least NOW I know why Google search was down the other day!
  19. near as I can tell, it's not part of edge, maybe a 3rd party updater from when you were trying to get drivers?
  20. I ran across an article saying a store had the ps5 back in stock(I can't get it anyway,they are over seas)so I figured I'd see what it was going for and what was with it for when they came back in stock over here. I looked prices up myself on line for each item. PlayStation 5 Disc Console = $499.99 Horizon Forbidden West=$60.00 Death Stranding Director’s Cut=$50.00 Immortals Fenyx Rising=$25.00 Watch Dogs Legion=$15.00 Subnautica: Below Zero=$20.00 Grand Theft Auto V=$10.00 Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction with free steelbook=$60.00 U.S. OR 34 pounds where the "deal" is being sold Total price before tax = $739.99 REMEMBER I rounded the game prices up and DIDN'T search for sales except the GTA V was listed as on-sale from Sony until the 14th.... NOW the SALE price for this wonderful "bundle" = Sale price£662.95 which = $833.64 U.S. $6.35 short of a $100.00 profit by making you buy the ps5 as part of a "bundle" How many were forced to buy other computer parts they didn't need because they needed a video card? REQUIRING additional items to be purchased so you can purchase the item you want is outrageous. What happens when the grocery store starts requiring that we buy meat when when go to get a loaf of bread? Or Milk when we go to buy some hamburger?
  21. depended where I bought from, if the person lived in a state with slack enforcement of tax rule, ebay let it slide,if not I was charged. Now they seem to be letting everyone know the "free ride" is over. It's been that way on amazon,and newegg, so no surprise that ebay finally caved.
  22. Just another point to show how outrageous the whole NFT concept is. If you're hacked you can be ruined just like bitcoin. ANY electronic currency or medium is only as secure as the severs can be made or the devices storing the items/info. At least a bank can be insured, how would you insure an NFT? Legal documents that would change with each sale is a possibility but would become cumbersome after time.
  23. I prefer single player combat with a story. I barely get along with Destiny 2 and that's only because of the random matching. lol, I tend not to play well with others,either I let them down,or they let me down.
  24. That was my issue also. Plus,I had finished the game when the new DLC was released so figured I'd play it over with different choices for a different ending. (3 possible endings.)
