  1. Looks dope! If you don't mind, what diameter of tube did you use?
  2. Nnnope, just you. Maybe crazy, hard to tell. What do the voices say?
  3. Not a hardware difference - the UI layout of AutoCAD for Mac is different (though recent updates have brought the two much closer together).
  4. Rundown on what it is and some solutions here: https://www.macworld.com/article/676493/how-to-delete-system-storage-on-mac.html
  5. Not exactly the same, but close: https://www.shapeways.com/product/NVL5WSX8E/stegosaurus
  6. A thought: AutoCAD for MacOS is a vastly different experience than AutoCAD for Windows. It still works well (actually more responsive in my experience) but your sis needs to be on board for a major UI and shortcut change. FWIW, most of the Autodesk library isn't available for windows, so a mac could be limiting if she wants to move further into the CAD space.
  7. Gotcha, I misunderstood. Microsoft seems to point you towards parental controls, but I can't speak to that from personal experience.
  8. As @RONOTHAN## said, it's OK. Those aren't pins per se, they're small tabs that touch the surface of the pads on the underside of the CPU. Their bent-over orientation allows them to operate like a spring, creating a broader range of pressure that will allow for reliable contact between the "pin" and the CPU pads.
  9. a few seconds in google gets this: Not exactly the same model, butthe webUI are likely similar
  10. I've had a good experience buying hard drives form B&H, they've packaged them exceptionally well.
  11. Built in this case with 2x360mm and 1x240mm a few years back, single D5 did fine cooling 9900x and a pair of 2080tis.
  12. 240mm AIO might be a bit small for that chip, I would look to see if anyone has tried it. Bear in mind an AIO is a limited-lifespan product - it's performance will degrade with time due to corrosion inside the loop.
  13. It appears to accept a 2.5" SATA SSD. Something like this would be much faster than what you currently have: https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-1tb/p/N82E16820250088 According to Crucial, these modules are compatible: https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr3/ct102464bf160b/ct4416168 You need two to reach the maximum 16GB capacity.
  14. Seems like you could achieve the same result with a mobile hotspot.
  15. This page https://www.dell.com/ae/business/p/latitude-e6440-laptop/pd states that it was available with an i7. If you can find a motherboard with a more powerful chip, I expect you could swap it in. For instance, here's one with an i5: https://www.amazon.com/YJR6N-Dell-Latitude-Motherboard-i5-3360M/dp/B01AZ32SM4 And an i7: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165364331779?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=165364331779&targetid=1529314450550&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=9032023&poi=&campaignid=15428210793&mkgroupid=129606026639&rlsatarget=pla-1529314450550&abcId=9300764&merchantid=110801248&gclid=CjwKCAjwve2TBhByEiwAaktM1DQHmSVb-ub7DDw0vubVVMyz-w-8RB6WqqaHh_Iakc3XoLBupePCchoCJvIQAvD_BwE You must be INCREDIBLY DILIGENT to ensure that you get a motherboard from the same product generation as your current machine. Laptops are a bear when it comes to compatibility between generations. Edited to add: Don't do this if you are not very comfortable working with this type of device. Lots of small connectors, easy to damage something.
  16. I was able to fix it (with help), but the specs are a Xeon E5-1630 V4 in an Asus X99-E WS USB 3.1. 32GB of G-Skill DDR4 @ 2400MHz.
  17. Update: Thanks to a helpful person, the problem is fixed! Disabling the option to play trailers before the movie plays fixed the issue. It couldn't fetch the trailer for some movies, and that was causing the crash.
  18. WIth some movies in my plex library, I get the following error: Conversion failed. The transcoder failed to start up. I've deleted my codecs, restarted the server and the docker container separately, disabled subtitles, scanned library files and refreshed metadata of individual movies. At this point I've run out of Google results, if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks!
  19. It's going to be heavily dependent upon getting the size of the bits and pieces to line up as @Kadzo mentioned. In addition, the pulley wheel for a ribbed belt (If I understood your meaning correctly) will typically have a flange to keep the belt on the pulley (otherwise it tends to slide to the side if things aren't perfectly aligned). You're probably best off just replacing it with the correct part.
  20. Go for it. I hold some stuff on my tower with neodymium magnets and haven't noticed any issues.
  21. Does your school have an english dept.? Mine offers online help for that sort of thing.
  22. You can hit it with some of this to insulate the cut wires: https://www.amazon.com/Star-brite-Liquid-Electrical-Tape/dp/B0000AXNOD
  23. That's what I would expect, but then why the special SKU? Still, thanks for the sanity check.
  24. Hello, I have the chance to buy a Quadro RTX 5000, but the given part number (VCQRTX5000-EDU) brings up pages like this: https://www.pny.com/promo/professional/edu-promo Do any of you know if the educational program cards are different than the standard production cards? I don't want to get something different from a standard card. Thanks!
  25. Here ya go: Edit: Someone else found it before me, my bad.
