Going through a box,I ran across some interesting things. #1 Try AOL 90 DAY RISK FREE! (Disk is still sealed in the envelope with the code for me AND a friend on the back!) lol #2 Getting Started Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (Product key is on the book) #3 ATI Radeon X1300 Pro Agp graphics card.(This is gonna blow the new nvidia cards outta the water,I can just FEEL it!) This isn't even my oldest stuff. I DID let the agp dial up modem go. Feel free to list some of your back of the shelf items!

Hmmmm, 1600 sponsors X's $500 = $800,000. (sigh) gotta find a way to cut more corners.... ?

ROTFL, I can hear you now... 'damn it! I'll take care of that image loading issue once and for all!" (Goes and builds a petabyte storage server...) "Rolling cache issue my ass... "

Reading this thread made me want to know more about the whole minimum/maximum/actual requirements for it. I dug around a bit on line to see what I could find. Went here found some interesting results,https://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=35975&game=Microsoft Flight Simulator&p_make=Intel&p_deriv=Core+i7-4770K+4-Core+3.5GHz&gc_make=Nvidia&gc_deriv=GeForce+GTX+980+Gigabyte+XTREME+4GB+Edition&ram=16&screenRes_width_FPS=1920&screenRes_height_FPS=1080&checkSubmit=#systemRequirements Then from the comments there I took the included screenshot.

lol, I went on line looking for an 8 pin to six pin converter before I looked again and realized 1 of the 8 pins was a 6+2 pin. I was like "F*^K me..." cause I spent close to 20 minutes trying to figure out HOW I was gonna power the video card.?

Congrats everyone & enjoy!

Not a FAN cut,but one time I ran my finger down the side of an amd duron cooler to pull the build up off and ended up with 5 or 6 slices gushing blood from my finger tip.To make matters worse when I did it I hollered a profanity loud enough to get the wifes attn so she comes to see what's the matter and ask me how I got paper cuts working on the computer.?

OUCH! That's just bad luck of a massive order!?

Smoked a bit until the oil that'd blown by into the exhaust finally burnt off but it actually survived. ?

lol,my brother in law did that to a van of mine(sort of) He kept adding a quart of oil when the oil light came on not realizing it was coming on @ stop signs/lights because I had the idle too low. Ended up jumping timing about 180 degrees. We drained 2 gallons of oil out & were still above the full mark.

lol,that's like when I tried "delicately" moving the radiator on my AIO while it was still running from the back to the top of the case and the stiff rubber tubing pulled it outta my fingers and tossed it against the bottom of the case. THAT'S probably why I'm looking @ having to rebuild my AIO cooler. ? I do stupid shyte without thinking sometimes.

Let's all make a thread with our most embarrassing things we've done when working on a comp. I'll start with my latest screw up. ? While I had Windows installing the latest greatest feature update to my wifes computer in the background,I noticed it still had the AMD software on it even though I put my old nvidia card on for her instead. Soo,I figured "Hey,I'll just run the AMD uninstaller to remove it while I'm waiting on the other stuff..." BIG mistake! I ended up with a hard drive with SIX partitions, Windows wouldn't recognize any password,and couldn't even boot into safe mode because it always booted to some new account that started in hibernate mode.? I ended up having to put the drive on a different comp,copy her files to an external drive,and perform a clean install of Windows on a wiped drive.? Next time I will wait and run ONE program @ a time when Windows is updating.

Ummm,I guess I need to work on getting my polls a bit tighter.?

I'm IN! (Going for the lucky # 3 extremehw contest win!) ?

Ubisoft has once again released a broken game that disappointed people when they tried to play it upon release. Not only does the game randomly crash,but some systems are being made to over heat and the whole system crashes.? Add to that insult the fact that the pre-order goodies won't be released until the new consoles are released and it's just an added slap in the face to people who pre-ordered. Here's some of the things being "fixed" so far.... https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/2285126-Planned-maintenance-for-Hotfix-Patch-October-28-(Xbox-amp-PS4)-amp-October-30-(PC and .... https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/2289326-Update-Nov-6-Bug-Fixes-for-PlayStation-4-Xbox-One-and-Stadia-TU-2-0 Notice that TU2.0 for XBOX is STILL delayed??? lol, That was the console with the most problems with the game.

Glad to hear it! Giving thought to tearing apart a LEPA AquaChanger 120 I have that up and quit on me to see if it can be saved. It was already refurbed/replaced once under warranty so don't know if it's a replacement or a repair I got back.

I give them credit,they have the debris issue pretty much covered.like 95%+ of the satellite is designed to burn up on re-entry.

HOW many do you think they plan on putting up? "The FCC approved the request in April 2019, giving approval to place nearly 12,000 satellites in three orbital shells: initially approximately 1,600 in a 550 km (340 mi) - altitude shell, and subsequently placing approximately 2,800 Ku- and Ka-band spectrum satellites at 1,150 km (710 mi) and approximately 7,500 V-band satellites at 340 km (210 mi).[37]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink

lol,Amazon wants to play..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_Systems

seriously,Space-x actually offered to "provide on-demand orientation adjustments for astronomical experiments, if necessary." ?

Unless MAD releases a better card @ close to the same or cheaper price.If they DO,we can probably expect to see another episode of "Super" cards being released for a slightly lower price than the original cards came out for,ala the RTX2xxx series.

Limited reports from very early domestic beta users of the partial satellite constellation in August 2020 suggested users experienced download speeds from 11 Mbps to 60 Mbps, and upload speeds from 5 Mbps to 18 Mbps.? fune part will be trying to see past them all @ night... "On 20 November 2019, the four-meter Blanco telescope of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) recorded strong signal loss and the appearance of 19 white lines on a DECam shot. This image noise was correlated to the transit of a Starlink satellite train, launched a week earlier"

ROTFL my favorite glitch in Witcher 3 is roach. I found a great video making fun of it.

On a side note, techland shows they can keep fans happy during the delay period of dying light 2. lol,community event required 10 million volitiles to be killed,fans stepped up and killed over 20 million in 3 days. ?

It's 1 reason I am true to CDPR,the fact they put quality & the consumer FIRST! I'm so tired of other companies releasing games then having 6 months of patches("cough"Bethesda!"cough")before the game is even halfway playable(Fallout 76). (groan...)? I agree,It's 1 reason I refuse to pre-order a game. Most companies just rush the games out and let the consumers be their beta testers anymore. I grew up in the days when beta testers were the ones being paid to play the games,not paying for early access!?
