  1. I used a paint pens I got at the hardware store. I used non-acetone nail polish remover to clean up. Worked well and I have not had to touch them up for years.
  2. Doing some cleaning and culling stuff I do not need. need or use any more. And I have a large number of holsters all for either Glocks 30 and 26 and 1911's. And they need a home. they are mostly ISWB by Comp-Tac, Versacarry, and Aliengear. If you can cover postage they are yours.
  3. This is what I am running on mine with an Eisbear 240. No issue and great temps. This is the only thermal pad I would use on a CPU . https://thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/299-carbonaut-en
  4. It's an old build that I am using until I get my new one built. It just shuts down i.e goes to a black screen and restart. There is nothing it the error dump logs so I am troubleshooting it because I was going to give the old part to a friend and wanted to make sure nothing was broken/ It is an Asus ROG Maxiums Code IX running an i7 7700k with 32gb of Corsair Dominator ddr4 ram and an RTX 2080ti FE. With the history of some 2080ti cards that is going to be my first bet, the card I am keeping so if it is that it makes things simpler as I can wait for a replacement. Thanks for the help folks.
  5. I had my hand crushed and have had to find different ways to use my computer and game. I am always on the lookout for different types of mise. I love trackball and had one back in the early 90's that I loved. But it is getting hard to find. So I would like you fine folks opinion. I saw this one Microsoft Trackball Explorer want folks thoughts, and why the hell it is 600 USD, and others other there. Thanks .
  6. I am having hard boots at random. I am thinking it is either the PSU or GPU. Is there any way to test the PSU? Thanks.
  7. I do not think it's that old. Never too late. After I left the Army after 22 years, at 42 I went back to college. So never too late to learn in my book.
  8. Just a guess here. I am not familiar with AMD motherboards but I know on my Intel board that if you have a graphic car hooked up you have to go into the bios and turn on the onboard graphic to be able to use it. Hope that helps. The above post posted before mine.
  9. And to add to that why can they not do both? I see this across all the tec-tubers where if they are making money they are shills and their content sucks if they make money. Same thing in the video game industry. If the company makes money their games suck etc. I have seen it there for a long time having been playing since 1981, once the company becomes big they were money grubbers and their games were no longer good. Same with MMO's, they want good content, and end games but whined and moaned when charged for it. Same for single player games. God forbid they charge for DLC. What do we want great games and DLC, how do we want them, free, seems to be the hue and cry now. No. I do not want microtransactions they promote pay to win, but more than that I want a good well made games with good content and graphics. And video games have not gone up in cost for that much in decades, they sure have not kept up with inflation, even though the cost to make them keeps going up. All that said, it also goes for tech.
  10. I guess it would make sense and make life easier if you meta-tagged videos and YouTube used that to search, not the title. Then it would not matter if the title was the love life of teddy bears but the subject was RAM speed as long as it was tagged RAM speed.
  11. “If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.” ― Will Rogers
  12. It would be great would it not if everything in computers and life, in general, were solved by rebooting. ?
  13. I think they do more harm than good in a lot of cases. And few seemed more self-aggrandizing and really cared little for the "causes" they were "hacking" for.
  14. Heaven is a place where, when you get there, all the dogs that you have ever loved run out to meet you.
  15. It is a moment of shock and horror filled with laughter when you figure out that your parents greatest wish, the one that would bring them the greatest joy is that your kids grow up just like you. And this comes at the moment, when sounding like your parents, you correct your kids for doing the same things you did.  - The Parents Wish:  Author-Me ?

  16. I have come to the point in my life where I do not worry about what happens, but rather, oh the hell with it let's see what happens.

  17. Sometimes that is windows rounding up or down. Would be my guess.
  18. Could not agree with you more. I was in the US Army 22 years, Doctors without Borders for 3 and a private security consultant for overseas clients and traveled more. I say all this to bring up a point. I have seen dozens of different cultures and spiritual beliefs. I look at the 1st would and hear all this about racism and hate etc. That is minor and blown so out of proportion to make and if you mind the cliche' molehill into a mountain' when it is compared to the rest of the world. The team I worked with was made up of people from all over the world. They are still some of my best friends, one is from the Ivory Coast, another from Ukraine and the leader was South African and female. There never was any hostility, hate or any of that crap, Sorry long winded, it leads up to this, my friends from the Ivory Coast and another from Sudan found out I was from the Southern US. They came to me and wanted to know where I stood because they were black. Their idea of a southern man from the US as racist, sheet wearing evil men. All from what they saw in the media that got to them. They were still under the impression that blacks were segregated and that all our families own slaves. This was all early when our team was put together and had not formed the bond that came later. I laughed at them and we had a talk that took a couple of days. In the end, they learned that the US was not a Mordor for blacks, and I learned that the tribal hatred in a lot of Africa was much more insidious than anything I knew of or most of the 1st world. And it still goes on today. And slavery still exists and is bigger than it ever was. Summing this up, a lot of people are happy not having to spend the time to learn about the real world and what really is here and out there in the world. They are happy in their self-imposed ignorance, more than willing to take what the media tells them is the truth in a sort of blind faith. That is more worrying to me than anything else. Here is a good book on this, a good read if you ask me, https://www.amazon.com/Lies-My-Teacher-Told-Everything/dp/1620973928/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3LSHQWXHVC4UZ&keywords=lies+my+teacher+told+me+by+james+loewen&qid=1554842260&s=gateway&sprefix=lies+my%2Caps%2C506&sr=8-1 The author is a college history professor. If you have gotten this far thanks for taking the time to read my little monologue.
  19. Someone really needs to define what hate speech is. It is not some saying they do not like, you or someone else, or even a group of people. And racism and hate speech affects all people. I have been told many times you cannot be racist to a white man they have all the "privilege", yeah right. Tell that to the Irish. This whole mess is stirred to the max by the brainless news media and making something that is bad, much worse than it is.
  20. Bunch of faceless internet rolls and people take as if it was serious and a call to arms. A fact that people take it as fact is scarier than what its.
  21. There are a lot of cases out there, tried a few, but I always come back to Corsair, been using their cases since IIRC the mid 90's.
  22. My bad, I did not see the part it was a laptop.
  23. Quick question. I did this to myself years ago. Is the new set of RAM 2133Mhz? The same as the old? If not the mismatched speeds might be your issue.
