So I've recently started recording some offroading in my 2000 Dakota 4x4. The phone mount I got works fine inside but when I'm riding with someone else I need a super gripy selfie stick. I know gimbals are an option but most are too short. I'm looking for something like a RAM Mount with white knuckle grip but a 1-2 ft heavy duty pole. Doesn't need to be extendable, only makes it weaker. I've been checking for hours but so far only found garbage. I use a otterbox defender case so it needs to go around that too. I'd get a gopro but they ain't $100 anymore lol.

I know, if I ever found a good deal on a used 6gb 1060 or even 2060 & they could somehow prove it was never used for mining I'd upgrade sooner. Storage will happen too, just slap a 1tb ssd of the same kind I have, keep existing as boot & make it a game drive. I need to update my motheeboards BIOS. It was never done because for the first few years I built this PC they were all terrible, refusing to OC. I'm hoping now whatever final version is out might be decent, gotta do some research when I've got time.
-
Yeah for the most part I'll just be browsing & playing older games for now anyway & my current monitor is only 900p lol.

After nearly being homeless a few times but for most part living in places with only wifi & no wired connection. I was finally able to get my PC back online yesterday. Hopefully it's now very outdated specs are still in my signature. So, is there any way I can get caught up on 2+ years of tech in about an hour or less?
-
Wow despite how closely I thought I looked before, that Sparklight page does list modem only models lol. Now I can get whichever Nighthawk router only I want to pair with it.
-
Thanks, I'll compare em both now & decide!
-
All the supported modems sparklight lists are combo units as seen here https://support.sparklight.com/hc/en-us/articles/115009158227-Supported-Cable-Modems-Residential-Only I wanted 2 separate units because then I could get QoS & many other features but I haven't been able to find any listed as compatible with this company. I've checked Amazon & nothing unless I'm just searching for it wrong, suggestions?

After moving & dealing with that mess I found myself having to switch from CenturyLink to Sparklight. The speed increase is nice but I do miss my unlimited data, although that's not currently an issue. I'm renting one of their Hiltron modem/router combos & it's range is just terrible. There also aren't any QoS features & well honestly I'd just rather own my own, preferably by Netgear. Upon browsing Sparklights list of modems & comparing features I've narrowed it down to 3. Unfortunately none of them have QoS, apparently there aren't any cable modem/router combos that do. What all 3 of these models do have though is better range & performance when it comes to handling multiple lanes of data. I only have the 100mbps plus plan right now but may upgrade in future so that's why these combo units can handle 300+. What I'd love to know are all your opinions on them, I've read reviews but it seems there's very few experienced techy users on Amazon. Netgear isn't the best at listing the actual rated range on these models either except for the Amazon page for C7500 @ 3000 sq ft. Ultimate range or best suited for large homes is too vague for me, I want sq ft listings. I'd like to just be able to get the Netgear C6300 since it's the cheapest but besides range concerns. The only Amazon listing for it doesn't totally match Sparklights page. I'll include all those links below so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction because this is getting kinda overwhelming. If any of you have other modem/router recommendations besides these that could offer 1800+ sq ft coverage I'd love to see em, thanks!

My mother wants some wireless (wired together) bluetooth IEMS for her Moto e5 Play. Around $25 is her budget but I can kick that up to about $50. She wants the wired together kind so she can take 1 or both out & let them dangle around her neck. Water resistance is a must as she'll be using them during yardwork along with good range. I've found some cheap chinese things on Amazon but I want to know what y'all would recommend.

Thanks!

When I go to Nvidia's site & try downloading new drivers for my 1060 I'm met with this. I got there by clicking on 436.30 via this page after selecting all the proper options. Can someone please tell me where I'm supposed to go now for the latest drivers or is Nvidia's site just having a temp issue?

After updating to Windows 10 Version 1903 (OS Build 18362.295) I encounter the following error every time I log into windows after a shutdown. Classic shell itself works fine after I close that prompt but I'm wondering how I can allow it to update properly like it used to with previous versions of windows.
-
Tried it & found the tone but sounds the same as what another submitted. I think I just need to make the sound myself or ask someone to.
-
I'll try it now thanks, if that doesn't work & my ambient noise is too loud to record myself making the tone I want then I may try asking someone here to record it for me if they have a sound proof studio.
-
Yes that 1!! but less official, more like if someone with a nasally voice said it instead lol. The version of Doom for flip phones many years ago had the exact sound I'm looking for whenever you obtained an item I think.
-
I'm sorry no, I'm wondering if the sound just exists somewhere in the form of a download intended for app notifications. The actual jaws song is too long, just the 2 syllable first part "baa-na!" I think is how it's spelled is what I want.
-
If this is in wrong catagory please move, I haven't used this forum in a while so I'm unsure & sorry. I want the 2 sound, brief part of the jaws theme as a notification sound. I don't want it to sound exactly like the movie. Just what it sounds like if one makes the noise with their mouth. If no one knows what I mean I may try uploading a clip of myself doing it later.
-
Thanks, I might do that we'll see.
-
How much space do you think that'd take up? I only have 90 something GB free on my solitary SSD
-
Well what would be ideal is to simply get digital copies of all her old shows. Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, Leave It To Beaver, My 3 Sons & Gilligan's Island. Even if we could afford that though then we'd also need a new TV & a new stand to put it on. Currently an old CRT in a entertainment center with a square cutout for such so a flat, widescreen wouldn't fit in there. Not to mention she absolutely refuses to have a TV more than 30", so we'd need to pay more for a smaller one that's of lesser quality because not many good brands make em that small.
-
Most of them are $40 on up, we can't spend that much for something that just might end up eating all her tapes or if the tapes simply fall apart from being so old. The $10 or less remotes I found are the most promising option yet, hopefully the sellers on Amazon get back to me with compatibility.
-
Well I found some cheap universal remotes that claim to work with VCR's. I'm in progress finding out if they will specifically work with this model Sharp VCR. If not then yeah I'll just try thrift stores again for a VCR with remote. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AQ6XPB8/?coliid=I2T9QRKYNQ8IV5&colid=1KUQ3J3O8PWFO&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BYVHCXC/?coliid=I20NJK7RW847ET&colid=1KUQ3J3O8PWFO&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AQB36YE/?coliid=IPHCSG1AD0X5&colid=1KUQ3J3O8PWFO&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I encountered the same, I guess because it's considered a vintage/legacy electronic device. They see it in the sense of, this is something richer people with nothing better to do use & not an old lady like my mom who has nothing but VHS tapes lol.
-
Yup sorry my bad, I'll edit my OP with the correction.

My friend gave me a Sharp Sharp VC-H992U VCR for my mom since she's been wanting one for a while to play her old VHS tapes. There wasn't a remote included but I knew we had an old universal one laying around somewhere. Which we did & it supposedly can work with Sharp VCRs according to it's code list. Unfortunately that's all the documentation we have for the Emerson VT1322/VT1922 remote. I've tried looking online for a user manual on how to program this thing but no luck so far. I'm not dead set on getting it working though, so if any of you know of a good cheap remote that can work with this VCR she might just buy that. Local stores don't carry remotes that work with VCR's anymore or we'd just grab one of those. So yeah if y'all know where I can find the manual to this remote or just a new one all together that'd work we'd appreciate it, thanks.
