    So if I transfer the old button to the new assembly, will fingerprint reading be lost?

    A friend of mine broke her iPhone 6 screen, and while it's been a few years since I've repaired an iPhone, I have the tools and knowledge to do so. But I remember having problems with people's TouchID not working after the repair. Also, I know for a while, Apple would brick any iPhone with a repaired home button using Error 53. So, my question is simple: If I buy the parts on iFixit and follow the guide they give, will the home button and TouchID system work? Or is it possible that even if I follow the instructions, something could still cause the iPhone to not read fingerprints anymore? I really want to help my friend out, and she said she'd pay, but I don't want to do the repair if the end result is no more TouchID and it's my fault. Thanks in advance for any advice you guys have!

    I think I just might have everyone here beat. I have an original NES, but here's the catch: it's hooked up to a CRT television that has literally been passed down in my family for a couple generations. My great grandfather bought it in 1959 (making it 59 years old!), it's an old Sylvania Dualette in blue and white. Because when I go retro, I go full-on retro. And as for whether it qualifies as something I "still use," I play the NES on it about two or three times a month so you can be the judge of that. Sorry I don't have a photo on hand to prove it, I guess you'll just have to take the word of some anonymous person on the internet.

    Your problem here is that you cannot input a letter to an int input. This will always cause an error, it's a limitation in C++ not in your code. The only workaround is to use a char to int function. See here for more info on that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5029840/convert-char-to-int-in-c-and-c If you don't understand that or it doesn't look like something your teacher would want you to have to worry about, double check the assignment requirements to make sure it should exit on a letter because that seems complicated for an intro course but it's certainly not impossible.

    the if statement should read: if (user_input == 'x') because you should put single quotes around characters, as double quotes represent a string instead. Hope that helps; feel free to reply with any more questions! I taught an intro to C++ course at the local high school a year or two ago so I may be of help. :-)

    Blue Mail is cool and all but I stopped using it almost as soon as I started because I am worried about their privacy. Every account I added got an email from them about an hour later, which means simply by using their app they have my email address in a database and can sell it later if they choose. Overall, I'm shocked there aren't hundreds of amazing, beautiful Email apps the way there are with SMS apps. It just seems like such an obvious app that enough people would need that there should be countless options. I guess most people only have one email and they just use the app that their email service provides for it. As for Google Inbox, it's quite sexy and works wonders with your inbox organization, but I hate that it is only compatible with @gmail.com accounts.

    That was a recommendation from a friend of mine more experienced with computers, since this happened in the early days of my interest in computer hardware.

    Somewhat off topic but why don't more motherboards have this feature? I have an older Gigabyte mobo and there is no easy physical way to clear the BIOS so far as I can tell. Not even removing the battery and unplugging the PSU and draining the caps then letting it sit unpowered for 24 hours resulted in a full factory reset.
  10. thedanfiscus
    Have you checked the manual for an explanation of that error code? That would be a good place to start.

    Lenovo is famous for this. Their BIOS restricts you from using unapproved WiFi cards in their laptops. Basically, any upgrade to a Lenovo machine must include officially supported parts approved by them. Source: Worked in IT in an environment with >5000 Lenovo laptops deployed, learned this the hard way after buying 5000 WiFi cards.

    No, its really not that bad. I wipe it off every once in a while, but it isn't that dusty.

    I have a Corsair 750D and my magnetic light strip is just above my side panel window on the top of the case. EDIT: Added shitty webcam photo of my rig for reference.

    I was hoping for something free, or at least something cheap. I'd rather not spend $25 for something like this.

    I have a triple monitor setup that is quite unusual - one 1080p monitor, then two different 4:3 aspect ratio monitors from other computers. They are all hooked up to my GTX 970, and Windows 10 will let me do some basic positioning, but when it comes to fixing the offset between them (caused by the fact that the 1080p monitor is actually shorter than the lower-resolution 4:3 monitor next to it) there has not been any easy solutions. Also, due to the fact that they are all different resolutions, they do not play nice with each other when I want to have full-screen content span all three of them. What software can I use to perfect my monitor settings? Is there any software that would allow me to perfectly align them or fullscreen content across all three? Or am I screwed because of the different resolutions? Here's the specs of the monitors from left to right if it helps: 1024x768, DVI, 12" wide by 9" high 1280x1024, DVI, 15" wide by 12" high 1920x1080, HDMI, 18.5" wide by 10.5" high Thanks in advance for any support you guys can give!
