  1. I am also unable to reach ncix's website, it must be cached.
  2. Completely agree, I have used Audacity for years, its the BEST open-source audio software.
  3. Bake it in the oven, 5min 400ºF. It will work great for another 10min of gaming JK, this is actually a really bad idea.
  4. A sibling buys a new hard drive after I try to get him to buy a SSD, telling him that the ~100MBs of a HD is going to be terribly slow for his boot drive in comparison to the ~500MBs of a SSD. He gets back with his new HD and tries to tell me how he saved a ton of money not taking my advice because his new HD says it will perform at 6Gigabytes per second. I try to explain that it's saying it uses the sata 3 6gigabit standard and all he's going to get is about 100MBs. Failing to listen to me again he tells our mutual friend that is hard drive is going to outperform our friends NVME-SSD. Needless to say after he left me and that friend had a good laugh. Some people never learn. And worst of all, he claims to be techy.
  5. So the guy in the story I linked was using a GTX 880M out of a allienware. Is there any reason why a Quadro 880M out of a dell would not work? I found this one for $17 https://www.ebay.com/itm/DELL-Precision-M4500-NVIDIA-Quadro-FX-880M-1GB-DDR3-MXM-3-0A-GPU-Video-Card/163033986456?_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D53210%26meid%3D91a8cce1f704402f812d55a5a02f54d5%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D163098020732%26itm%3D163033986456&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982
  6. Found this well browsing craigslist https://eauclaire.craigslist.org/sys/d/30-computers/6678215071.html Quite a lot of old Macs I don't think their worth much, but it's kinda cool to see all of them in one place. A person could make a lot of sleeper PC's though
  7. I know Linus isn't big on macs, and this is his form, but maybe someone here has some idea, and I generally go here first So here's my question. Will a GTX 660M work in a mid 2011 IMAC 27"? The 6970M burned up, and i don't really want to spend money on a card that is going to break again. I saw this article (https://www.ifixit.com/Story/18646/Successful_iMac_Upgrade_to_GTX_880M) were a guy put an 880M in but i don't need that much power (or heat). A 660M would be plenty for my needs. I found this one on Ebay, and before i spend $100 it would be good to have at least an idea if it will work. Boot screen is not important (it would be nice though), brightness control is also not important, as long as i can see the screen.
