Leave it to me to have some unique problem.![]()
There is
NOTHING WRONG
with this machine
that CAN NOT
be fixed with a
FIRE AXE!
How many systems do you have?I build all my systems. So when I have issues, I fix it myself.
In this room 2 desktops and 2 laptops. I have parts to build 2 more sitting here. Waiting on Intel ARC video cards. Going to start messing with a 3D printer soon.

Thats cool but why do you need so many computers? Most people just have oneIn this room 2 desktops and 2 laptops. I have parts to build 2 more sitting here. Waiting on Intel ARC video cards. Going to start messing with a 3D printer soon.
I've used every version of Windows excerpt for 8. Started with like DOS 1. Then MS-OS 3 (Windows 3.1 in there somewhere), then 6, then Windows 95, etc. My favorite is 10! Love it!A long time ago in a tech job far far away. I had a Windows 98 First Edition machine that was running on a Pentium Pro.
As you may remember, 98 first edition was an operating system that SHOULD NOT have been released. It was unstable, subject to random blue screens for no reason, and was NOT compatible with any outside programs.
So the IT guy at the job installed 98 Second Edition over it, but the on board bios was still looking for first edition on boot. He gave me a bit of voodoo to do every Monday when I turned the things on (I was told to only power it down on Friday). And it would Usually work. But it still had some issues.
I taped the following sign to the side of the case, and, believe it or not, after that, it had fewer issues. To the point that it was still in routine service until just before I retired some ten years later.
You trying to build a mesh network or just setting up a bunch of varied systems for compatibility?In this room 2 desktops and 2 laptops. I have parts to build 2 more sitting here. Waiting on Intel ARC video cards. Going to start messing with a 3D printer soon.
I like what I like. heheThats cool but why do you need so many computers? Most people just have one
3D printers are cool @SpookyZalost was telling us about his recently.
One desktop is mine. The other is my wife's. I use more than her. One laptop is hers. The other is a company unit. I am going to use one of the two that are not built for the 3D printer. Alot of people turn to me to build systems for them. I stay away from the cheap stuff now. Most of the rigs I build are 1500.00 to 5000.00.You trying to build a mesh network or just setting up a bunch of varied systems for compatibility?
you prefer intel or AMD for CPUs?I like what I like. hehe

I am OK using either of them. My main rig right now is Intel. Sold one of the AMD rigs I had about a month or so ago. I build what people ask for or what they like. What they heard was good. How about you?you prefer intel or AMD for CPUs?
I usually go for number of cores and threads over per core performance... so I usually go for AMD. but that's mostly because I compile my software so the more cores/threads I can distribute that over the faster it is.I am OK using either of them.

This is what happened to my monitor. It was so old that none of the buttons worked on it barely. The monitor always also stayed on and the power off and on button was busted. I am guessing due to that plus old age it finally caved. Got a way better and newer monitor which was first released in 2017, but is obviously brand new.I don't know exactly....old age?
Fair enoughI like what I like. hehe
My computer has an AMD processor in it.I usually go for AMD
Hope its 1080p or 4k at least.Got a way better and newer monitor which was first released in 2017, but is obviously brand new.
It was not expensive at least, but think it is at least 1080p or so.Hope its 1080p or 4k at least.![]()
