Good afternoon everyone, I'm investigating upgrading my security camera set up. I'd like to even know if this is even possible since most set ups either use cloud storage, local storage on the camera itself via microSD, or connected via ethernet to a PC. I'd like cameras that are wireless in terms of data transmission, but feed the video locally to a computer rather than a cloud service. I'd like to have a central PC that can interface wireless cameras that communicate over 2.4g or 5g wifi. I'm assuming I'd also need to buy software afterwards that can set up cameras, save recordings, overwrite past recordings, etc. Any information at all for what type of camera I'd be looking for would help since I'm very new to this. Thanks

Good morning everyone, In short, I occasionally have to create a string of data with forward slashes between each entry out of a list of entries. I used to just take the list into excel, transpose, copy all the cells, paste into a URL, copy that, paste entire string into 1 cell into excel, and find and replace all spaces with forward slash. It worked really well until a force update to office 365. For whatever reason, it no longer finds the area between data as a "space," so I cannot find and replace it with a forward slash. Does anyone have a better way of doing this? I added a couple screenshots to show what I mean. Thanks in advance

Yeah that's exactly what I was looking at. I totally forgot that this monitor only uses VGA and that I've been using a DVI adapter this whole time.

Okay that's what I was thinking, thank you!

Hey everyone, I have an old monitor that I use as a second monitor and recently I upgraded my GPU. However, my old monitor only uses VGA. Up until now, I've been using a VGA to DVI adapter to still use it, but this GPU only has HDMI and DP ports. I ordered a display or to DVI adapter, but found out it's not working. Can I not convert a VGA to DVI and then convert that DVI to a DP? Thanks

Currently, I'm just using turtle beach z11's with a blue snowball mic. I actually like the sound from this headset, but it's just too quite. I did get a pair of Superlux HD668B, but the second I opened the instruction manual, they strongly recommended getting a headphone amp (their recommendation was $140). The sound was too quite on those as well as the impedance was higher than what I was using before. This lead me to thinking I should get a DAC or soundcard.

Good afternoon everyone, Long story short, headphones that utilize a 3.5mm jack have been too quite for me using my desktop. I have a USB headset that provides more than enough sound (I keep windows sound at 19%), but I need another. I've tried 2 different kinds of 3.5mm headsets and 1 headphone and they're all too quite. Ideally, I'd like to just find USB-A headphones as I have a stand mic I use, but I don't think those exist. I'm looking to spend around $50, and I'm wondering which route would be the best to go: A. Buy a external DAC/Preamp and 3.5mm headphones- I was thinking about spending $20-$30 on a USB DAC and get decent 3.5mm headphones. B. Buy a Soundcard and 3.5mm headphones- It might be a better idea just to get an internal soundcard that plug into the mobo and then spend the rest of the money on a 3.5mm headphones C. Buy a USB headset- This would be the easiest route. I just hate how all over the ear USB headsets are all "gamer" and have all kinds of colors and lights and edgy names. Also, I did buy a Logitech USB headset for around $30 and it didn't sound all that great. I'd like to try to avoid that again. Tell me what you think is the best route to go. Like I said, I would like to stay around $50.

Hi everyone, I got a Dell Studio 1558 laptop for really cheap and it seems to have a touchpad issue. I installed a new hdd in it with windows 7 and I'm going through the process of installing all the drivers. One thing that happens is the touch pad stops working after 5 min of the computer being on. It is running the latest BIOS and I'm trying to find the touch pad drivers. While I'm working on it, I figured I'd ask you guys what you think. Do you think this is looking like a software issue or hardware issue? Unless it's a cable that disconnects after the laptop heats up a little, I can't imagine it's a hardware issue. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Good afternoon everyone, I'm a project engineer at a manufacturing plant with a decently long assembly line. The different stations on the line have different responsibilities on the line itself with many different employees responsible for the station they're working. I'm looking for some kind of application or software (preferably free) that I would be able to very roughly draw an top view of the line with a box where each station is. And I would like to be able to click on the box and have the employees names pop up and their responsibilities pop up on screen. Also, it would be nice if I could search certain employees or maybe key words that would show on screen where they're located on the line. Does anyone have remotely any idea of what I could use? The closest thing I could think was like just making a website and having it just redirect you to different parts of the site when you click around. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you very much

Afternoon everyone, I was able to pick up this mDP to HDMI,VGA,DVI contraption at a flee market today for a dollar. My questions is, do you guys think that it is a adapter as in I can only have one monitor plugged into it at a time, or a splitter as in I could have an HDMI monitor and a DVI monitor plugged into it and have the adapter plugged into my laptop giving me 2 extended screens? My laptop only has 1 HDMI port and a display port, so if this could split, I could have 4 screens going at the same time. Also, there is no branding or any markings anywhere on it for me to look up. Thanks for the read.

haha alright thanks guys

I'm 95% sure it's hit GPU. Same thing happened to me, and since you have a decent PSU, it senses there is a short and will kill the power immediately. Try running the computer without the GPU installed to be sure. Run on integrated graphics.

Hey guys, So I'm looking to buy a laptop on craigslist and in the picture, the bios is not looking too good. It has a GTX 260m, and I was wondering: if I just unplug the GPU and run it on integrated graphics, do you think it might post normally? Thanks for the read.
