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.

Alright I took it apart, put the drive alone in my main PC, formatted and allocated the drive. We'll see if it's recognized now. If it isn't do you think I gotta install some kinda drivers or do you think the sata ports on the optical drives might just not work correctly or something?

Morning everyone, I got a 2010 lenovo thinkpad edge 15 from japan on eBay for $35 w/ $10 shipping and for the most part, it's working fine. I was able to use the windows 7 COA on it and I did have trouble getting drivers as there are not many US downloads for drivers for this PC. One thing that doesn't seem to be working is the optical drive HDD adapter though. It goes in the same place as a normal optical drive would on a laptop, has sata and power going to it with a western digital 250gb hdd already in it. The computer won't recognize it in the device manager or disk management though. I tried to look for drivers for it as maybe it needed drivers to run that were lost when I did a fresh install, but couldn't find anything. There is a very good possibility that the HDD itself doesn't even work, but I thought I'd ask you guys what you would try. Thanks

Hey guys, My brother is trying to display his chromebook to his projector and asked what cable he'd need to do it. He sent me a pic of the all the ports on his chromebook (first 2 pics) and all the ports on the projector (3rd pic). I'm not that good when it comes to these kinda ports as I usually only work with dvi and hdmi, but it looks like those are some usb type c's on the chromebook and that looks to be some kinda hdmi port on the wall for the projector, so I was thinking a male USB type C to male hmdi. Let me know what you think and if there is a better way than usb type c to hdmi if I'm right. Thanks

Yeah I see what you're saying now. I tried launched cs with a friend who also has a more expensive 1ms response monitor and he was getting around 1ms and I'm sitting around 4-5ms so it looks like you were right. Thank you for saving me the trouble of trying to fix this thing.

does this mean with this monitor and my current settings in rust, I can expect around 14ms response? Because my old monitor was pulling around 10 and I'm just going to take this back if that's the case.

Ah I see. How is it then that my old monitor is/was able to pull of around 10ms response times in rust with it being 5ms and this monitor is getting like 15ms and it's rated at 1ms? I'm very disappointed in this crap if that's the case.

This looks really bad but it's all I got. Basically, it just looks like the contrast goes really high for some reason while moving and it looks like it might be "ghosting"

When I go to settings-> image control -> response time, it gives me options 1-5 so I'm not sure what else that would be besides settings your response time from 1ms to 5ms

Yeah give me a couple min, I recorded footage with fraps and it didn't show in the video (duh)

Hey guys, So I just picked up an HP omen 24.5" 1080p 144hz 1ms response monitor yesterday from bestbuy for 190. I plugged it all in via displayport, set my refresh on windows to 144hz and I could see immediately it was running at 144hz. I messed around with some color settings and set the response time to 1ms and launched rust. It looks really really bad when moving (might be called ghosting?). I'm a monitor novice so I'm not sure what this is called or how I can fix it. Also, my response time is around 14 to 15. On my older monitor, I'd be getting around 10 ms so I'm not sure why this is much worse. If anyone could help me at all, I'd appreciate it.
