lol, you can still get a gt210 on evga's site...

Don't know,but this may help if you decide to try doing it again... New update 5-12-2022

lol,I might have been turned off from it because dell offered the 5750 stock,or upgraded to the 5770 for a hundred more or one of the nvidia cards for close to 300 more. This was in 2012.

I can respect a choice to not interrupt a smooth work flow to create eye candy for the masses...

I would have to argue about the "by themselves they were great" part. My second new comp purchase was my Dell XPS 8300 with the i7 2600,8Gb ram,1.5Tb hdd,and I upgraded to include the 5770. What a mistake. I got better results in the old 3d mark test of the time with a nvidia gt730 than I did with the hd5770. It's why I bought my GTX970 instead of going with a higher version of an amd card at the time. The 5770 did video's great,but games sucked.

was the folder or drive deleted? If so, you may have to re-install from the library page on steam for it to show on your comp. It looks like it's only showing the address of the steam library link right now.(I think) I don't install mine with the icons but if you look at the screen shot,you'll see where steam library is all on drive E, open that and it shows steam apps, open that it shows each game in it's own folder. I have my downloads set to that steam library folder on that drive in my Steam settings. Try opening the Steam Library and seeing if they show as needing to be installed or that they can open.

(gasp) you sent it back? after they took the time to open the caps to make sure they were real before shipping it to you? have you no shame? ROTFL

I don't see it as that big a problem, if it IS browser related,you guys could get it fixed just to have a later browser update break the fix.

With that cooling, she's gonna be a beast!

That's a joke,Right? I mean I literally pay the cable company's fee's to the Govt's EVERY MONTH. They are allowed to pass those on to the consumer. They are ALSO allowed to pass on a "line usage fee" to the consumer for the rental of the poles to string the cable line. 911 Fee 0.75 Federal Cost Recovery Fee 0.02 Network Enhancement Fee 3.50 Federal Universal Service Fee 0.44 State Universal Service Fund 1.14 Cable companies use hidden fees to raise prices 24% a month ARSTECHNICA.COM Analysis of cable bills finds loads of fees not mentioned in advertised price.

not to mention the number of parents who allow their phones to babysit the children.... "Honey,did you reset my password?" "No dear,Why?" "(sigh) Damn kids again...."

It isn't so much about controlling how you watch it as controlling what's produced to watch or read. As for "you can just stream it" let's see, Disney owns at least 30% of HULU, NBCUniversal through Fandago purchased VUDU,along with having Peacock, ViacomCBS own PlutoTv, Amazon of course owns Amazon media(licensed & original movies,tv). Remember that NBCUniversal is owned by Comcast. Poor Netflx is like "Why people want to jump me for a rate hike?" "On February 25, 2020, Comcast announced it would purchase Xumo from the Panasonic/Viant joint venture for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition of the service—which will continue to operate as an independent business, albeit within Comcast's cable television division—stems mainly from Xumo's partnerships with smart TV manufacturers (including LG, Panasonic, and Vizio), which would allow Comcast to use Xumo's placement to market or showcase Xfinity and other Comcast services as well as use its technology to develop additional streaming platforms. The company plans to add content from the NBCUniversal programming library and the company's various television networks as well as use it to upsell its free/subscription hybrid service Peacock, akin to ViacomCBS's utilization of Pluto TV to offer content from its cable networks following the former Viacom's purchase of the rival streamer in the Spring of 2019." They control what we can see......

perfect example when I was still subscribing to cable tv, suddenlink and viacom had an issue over viacom wanting to raise their rates and I lost a half dozen channels for over 9 months. NOW these are some of the 1's they control....

The problem is that the "providers" are also the creators in the majority of cases. Look at how many studios are owned by these 5 Media Corps, and the shares they own of streaming channels. Major film studios - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Here's mine, think it's what you have showing.

I agree, from what I could make out,they're getting the figure from 4 x 12v lines at 5 amp each in that cable. That seems like alot of heat build up in the cable.

I'm sure many of them did,especially when they're being forced to compete with corps that are more than 10x's size their size. The govt. is always stepping in to make sure that companies like Microsoft aren't becoming too large or becoming a monopoly but you hardly see that in the film industry buy outs. They make Cable companies sell movie/film divisions when purchasing other companies to break them up, but let media companies like Disney & paramount just keep buying out smaller film & tv companies.

lol, 1 of the contracts in question was for ghost writing the Star Wars novel for Lucas based on his script. Who could have imagined all the media buyouts back in the 70's?

Too many mergers into one giant company anymore....

lol, I love in the comments where someone posted "Isn't Apple the same company that set up an office to poach employees from Qualcom?"

Anyone else feel that media Corps are getting too large and being left too unsupervised? For example,Disney,when they purchased Lucas Films,bought all their contracts and royalty rights also. Now,normally that's not such a bad thing,but Disney acquired the rights to contracts for books that had been written for Star Wars also.These contracts gave the authors a percentage of royalties and Lucas got a percentage as the TM holder who authorized the books to be written. Disney stopped paying the royalties to the author. When contacted they at first ignored him, Then after being contacted by his lawyer,they requested he sign a NDA before they would talk with him agreeing NOT to disclose what was discussed or that it was even held. SERIOUSLY? After the writers guilds got involved, Disney said they weren't responsible for the royalty payments because his contract had been with Lucas Films. If that had been allowed to stand, ANY company could get out of contract obligations simply by selling them to a sibling company. I can just see google selling it's playstore contracts to alphabet and telling developers "we don't owe you the 70% of sales because your contract was with google and alphabet owns it now."The problem is that authors are under different contract laws then others(say actors)and it's crazy that companies can use a loophole like this legally. https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/16/22166064/star-wars-alien-novelization-disney-royalties-sfwa-alan-dean-foster "Lawyers familiar with contract law tell Polygon that Disney’s arguments, that the transfer of the property to another publisher, and the ending of an original publisher’s edition of a book, nullifies any obligation to pay a writer or establish a new contract, might hold up. Companies buy assets and not the liabilities all the time, precisely because they don’t want to shoulder the burden of those obligations." If you buy a companies assets,you should ALSO have to abide by the liabilities it incurred and had at the time of your purchase, that includes dealing in good faith with the people you owe.

lol, don't shame me, but I STILL use a couple of aol email acct's because they're not popular so don't get alot of junk sent their way.

Amazon had a chance, but they screwed the pooch and killed it with ads and making THEIR store the prime(pun intended) source of all apps. Sideloading playstore's an option, but it seems to slow the system down.

lol, I remember wrapping the modem in a sock to muffle the squeal so it wouldn't wake my sister who had to work the next day when I'd log on at 11-12 at night to chat with my girlfriend.

I remember a girlfriend upgrading my first computer for me, she put Windows 98SE on it from win 95, and upgraded the memory from 8Mb to 32Mb. All on a 1Gb hdd. Oh, and I met her on dial up internet on my dial up aol.com acct. We didn't even have DSL in our area then. lol, I even remember having to change out the modem in the comp and adding a 56k pci card.
