seems a bit extreme

Hi Guys, I'm a bit stumped. The issue i am having is my \ | (backslash bar} key isn't inputting when i press it. First thing i tried was setting a macro up to the key, to see if it was an issue with the hardware. Macro runs fine when i press it. Next thing, i boot into Windows, in safe mode. The key works fine in notepad, command prompt. As normal. I disabled all programs in task manager that start when windows loads, and reboot into normal windows. From the log in screen, the key does not work. I have also tried changing keyboard layouts. I have tried US, United States International. The key still doesn't work. When i change to United Kingdom, when i press it i get # I'm so fricken lost.

Dusting off my old RPi now :) Question about DNS though. Current using the Google DNS to circumvent the ISP blocking of 'sites'. Adding this Pi-hole as my DNS will block these sites again? Should i change the DNS on the router? or is there another way?

Thanks for all the replies. Ended up going with the Corsair Strafe. Couple hours in, and have to say, i like it very much. Cheers

Full size keyboard. The Anansi keys are very similar to MX Red not exact same but similar. Looking a Corsair Strafe & K70 atm, for reviews etc.

Morning All, In the market for a new keyboard, and looking for some recommendations. Live in country South australia and there is no PC shop that offers keyboards. Currently I have a Razer Anansi, which has been a fantastic keyboard, but I am just starting to have some trouble with. I want to go Mechanic this time. RGB is optional, but backlit is a must. i appreciate anyone taking the time for giving suggestion/recommendations TIA Aaron

Had to run script for a second time. Also emailed help email for a pay related issue

So, RJ45 connector should be 568B just like the wall socket?

Afternoon All, I recently had a Ethernet wall socket put in, but it wasn’t wired. The sparky who did the socket in the wall was going to charge an arm and a leg to run the cat 6 for me. So I have done it myself. I have wired the wall socket as T-568B. The other end is going into a NBN (Australian fibre to the home) box as a normal RJ45 connector. What wiring scheme should I use for that end? NBN -> RJ45 —— Wall socket -> Fritxbox 7272 Does it even matter? Routers are smart enough nowadays rights? Putting a wall socket near the NBN box is out of the question. Any help appreciated, and TIA Aaron

@Kingk22 its $5 per email address.

Hey, @LionTechServices I have my domain registered with crazydomains.com.au i have server hosting registered with Crucial Paradigm (https://www.crucial.com.au/) Less then $10 a month. Prices may vary now been with them a long time With the hosting, i have access to what is called Cpanel which you can do a ton of things with. Addon domains, sub domains. easy CMS installs with there Softaculous App Installed. For me it was a good way to learn how db's work. How domains work. and a few other little things. You just point your domains nameserver to your hosting provider, and viola. Also, instead of running my own email server on my hosting space, i recently started using google apps for that also. Least i know that is secure. regards

Fan was fine. Had the system running Forza 5 for over an hour and like you said thermals are already pretty high in the console. But this seemed to work just fine. Fan sped up when it needed to. Happy Days all round

First time turning it one. Fires up, and is recognised via hdmi to my capture card

Hey hey, so have a bit of an update. After letting the components dry in air from the alcohol, I put the system back together and amazingly it still works are almost 2 weeks submerged in isopropyl alcohol. Using a soft foundation brush, I gently rubbed all the soot away. To a fantastic result. (Previous post) Here are some pictures from the reassembly process. The tin was quiet hard to clean, so in the end I just left it. It's only cosmetic at this point. The Xbox is a original release, so it does have some visual wear and tear but all in all, I am super happy with the result. The APU has new thermal paste. The hard drive I didn't worry about cleaning the top, as any pressure can potentially damage the internals, so I have spoken with the owner, and we are looking at just replacing it if we have trouble with it. Because of the paper sticker on the Bluray drive it was quiet hard to clean the top of that. All in all, it is a completely functional Xbox STILL just 1000x cleaning and a less fire hazard

Evening, The main board has been soaking in alcohol now for a few days. Used a delicate foundation brush to gently rub the black crap off. pretty good result. Now waiting to dry and then new thermal paste and put back together Aaron

Evening All, So I have this Xbox One recovered from a house fire. That happened 4months ago and while removing the whole we found it. The unbelievable thing is it actually still works. I have cleaned boards before nothing like this. Looking for some suggestions about the best way to do it. I was thinking of submerging it in Isopropyl alcohol and then just gently rubbing it off with a microfibre cloth but just not sure how the capacitors and stuff will go submerged. Even a bit concerned about the APU. I need to work out how to take the cross bracket thing off and obviously I would replace the thermal paste but yeah, more just want a bit of guidance Has no value to me, just doing it for something to do. We played on it for about an hour this arvo and didn't have any trouble. TIA

I still have an old 3DFX Voodoo 2 graphics accelerator card. Can't throw that puppy away. cost me a fortune back in 99. Saved my first month of pay checks for that guy

Hey, lose access about 2 weeks ago. Didn't remember about it until i was going through my paypal and realised it was still paying. Run the script. Got email. Working again

Thanks for the response guys!! Much appreciated.

Hi Guys. I am after some info about PCIe 3.0 graphics cards & placing them in PCIe 2.0 slots. I currently have a Intel DH67GD (http://ark.intel.com/products/50095/Intel-Desktop-Board-DH67GD) board. With a Core i5-2400. I am looking at purchasing a gtx 1060 in the short term, however i see that it is a 'pcie 3.0 card'. Will this work in my boards pcie 2.0 slot? If so, will the new card take a performance hit from running in a older generation slot? TIA

Thanks for the link to the video. I missed that one. So, i'm looking at backlight bleeding? Now the research for a fix begins. Thanks for your help!!

its brighter towards the edges. maybe the picture doesn't do it justice.

Good Afternoon, So I was going through my cupboard and came across this old LCD I have had for a while. The reason for not using it, is because it isn't very bright, which I believe is from the shadowing. See attached I guess my question is, can this be fixed? Is should I just scrap it? I am not scared to pull it apart if indeed I can fix it, It is an Asus VW222U manufactured 2008 TYIA Aaron

I would like the keyboard. Its all about the RGB lighting. Love the ability to customise the colours and all that.
