watching tech news on youtube is the only way I get my daily dose of updates in the tech world so i see no problems with that.. as for troubleshooting videos, that's what forums are for. dont need videos for that except when the issue at hand is difficult to explain just with words. but i do agree with you that the content needs to get mixed up a little more..more diy tech projects would be cool and video reviews are always helpful since you get a look at the product in question being used irl.. those are my two cents on the topic..

and sorry if I posted in the wrong topic!

OK so I know I'm going to sound like a major noob here, but I need to delete my retroarch configurations on my mac because I did a thing and now my joystick mappings are all messed up.. Some forums suggest deleting the retroarch.cfg file but after doing a finder search for it, nothing.. In case you're wondering, reinstalling the program itself does nothing. It just loads up with it's previous configurations.. I'm really hoping someone here has an idea of what to do..thanks guys

I doubt there's a better way to do it..but maybe that's something a more seasoned user would be able to help you with

I second that..I've got mine on a bootable usb and it works.. albeit not that great considering switching between systems is a bit of a hassle.. it's just something you're going to have to deal with!

Well if his is the exact same as yours and it doesn't have the same picture quality that you're expecting.. the only thing I can suggest is to tweak the monitor's display controls..

For real? How much do you think I could get for it?

Look up

Yep I just figured that out AFTER posting this..fml

So I picked up this beauty (performance gamepad controller p103e) at the thrift store the other day thinking I was getting a steal for $1.99..without paying attention to the cable type (d'ohh!) I know the picture isn't very easy to see but it's an 9 pin connector and yes I've tried googling it but to no avail.. Anyone know what kind of cable it is? UPDATE: because I'm an idiot and didn't figure this out sooner I made this post..so consider this thread DELETED

run malwarebytes on your mac to check for any virus

seeing as how getting it replaced is the only viable option here do you have a plan as to how you're going to backup all your games? If they take up a lot of space on your hard drive I'd consider using something like Steam Mover to back them up to an external hard drive. I hear it's much faster than reinstalling and downloading which could take forever

I'd rather not..

look at the title

looks cool but honestly who would want to invest in it beside enthusiasts?

congrats! you just answered your own question

I read somewhere (lifehacker) that you can get free shipping on online purchases from NCIX, Newegg, other tech websites if you get it shipped to a warehouse and pick it up within 24hrs How much of this is actually true cause I haven't seen this option on the Canadian sites.

I'm currently looking for parts for my build too and a little tight on the budget...which trusted retailers would you suggest getting a used cpu from?

yeah OK so you want a $1000 gaming pc but you didn't specify a power supply, specific storage device, ram or mobo. Maybe my list doesn't have all the parts you're looking for but pick and chose?

sure, you just didn't ask a specific question so how do we know what you need?
