After a lot of troubleshooting, I had to go in an manually reinstall the drivers for my bluetooth adapter.

A few years back I bought the House of Marley Liberate XLBT bluetooth headphones. They work perfectly life with my phone, they connect and play music exactly like youd expect them to. However, when I connect them to my PC they don't work correctly. In playback devices it's listed twice: Headset (hands free) and Headset (stereo). Sound only comes when it's in hands free. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

i'd love to upgrade the case as well, but the cpu, mobo, and ram is gonna cost me $280, and i don't really want to throw on another $50 if i can help it Especially if that cheap case isn't one that i actually like.

Its an Optiplex 790, midsize tower case.

I upgraded the PSU along with the gpu. Didn't realize i would have to get a new case though..

I've been using an old Optiplex with a graphics card tossed inside for several months now. It's got an i5-2400, can't overclock it, and photoshop has been CHUGGING lately. I don't think that has anything to do with my gpu, it's a GTX 1060 3gb. I've been looking into buying an 15-9400F, and a new mobo and ddr4 ram to go with it. Is this a good idea?

Look, your idea is good and I like it. But I wanted to be able to change things on the fly even if i'm not at school, or not at work at the moment - aka unable to get access to the shared network drive. No one else is going to change these, so it's all on me, and I want to be able to do it right away if I realize there's been a mistake

Can't access the network folder from my personal laptop or phone. I'll be honest, I've been working on this all week, and I do have a tendency to overlook the easiest solutions. So, you might be right with the network folder. But I might also be a pick little shit who wants everything perfectly handed to me

My favorite idea so far is using a chromecast, keeping it on ambient mode, and adding/removing pictures from a google photos album depending on which events are coming or have passed. The biggest problem with this is that It's going in a cafeteria...with college students...and you KNOW they're going to cast stupid videos to the tv. The only way around this problem (that i know of) is having the school set up a whole new wifi network JUST for the chromecast, and I'm not sure if they're gonna do that.

This isn't a /bad/ suggestion. The only problem with it is that there's not an easy way to change which files are being shown without going in every time there's a change and fixing all the settings again. Still less work than we're currently doing

It's my job to make the ads for the events, and advertise on instagram, facebook, twitter, etc. Our marketing/design department is more focused on out of school advertisements like billboards and tv ads and whatnot (which im fine with, since that gives me a job, lmao)

Student Life

I work for a moderately small university, and we have a TV in our cafeteria that shows upcoming events and other things we're trying to advertise. Currently, it's a nightmare to update it with new information. We have to first make the ads in photoshop, save them as a PNG, import those images to power point, make sure the slides are in order, render the powerpoint to an MP4, then repeat that process again for the same set of events minus the most recent event (so we don't have slides for old events showing). Does anyone here have any better solutions? I've brought up a couple solutions that require special hardware and subscription plans, but my boss isn't too keen on spending that much money. If anyone knows a better place to ask this, let me know that, too. This was the only place I could think to ask for help

Please don't fight. You're tearing this family apart

And this is probably going to be a pretty dumb question, but do i NEED to upgrade the power supply?

So what I'm hearing is that it'll be a lot better to just go with the uglier one, get it working well, and get a better case down the road

What if i wanted to go with something like this? https://ebay.to/2SI9ljB I have it spec'd to win 7, integrated graphics, 8gb ram, professional for $150. I really like the smaller form factor, I think it looks a lot nicer than the larger. Is going with the smaller machine just asking for a headache?

I've thought a lot about doing something like this, i'm just worried that since I dont know THAT much about pc building I would end up with some ridiculous bottleneck and i wouldn't even know it

Oh I'm not expecting Smooth Max Ultra settings or anything. To be clear, I'm looking for something that games better than my Laptop from 2014. So... Lmao I love your brutal honesty *heart eyes emoji* Ive decided it's a much better use of my money to try and build Austin Evan's Boson 4.0 build from used parts, rather than trying to deal with the scammers on craigslist. Someone please tell me if I'm wasting my time with this idea

Overwatch is probably the most demanding game I plan on playing in the forseeable future, do you think this build would be able to run it moderately well?

While I have you all here, Could I get your opinion on this pc? https://fortwayne.craigslist.org/sys/d/angola-low-end-gaming-pc-mouse/6815072076.html

Just messaged the guy, apparently it's sold, so This was all for nothing. Woo

How much would you say this build is worth? What price should I haggle him down to (or try at least)

Okay so I'm back once again to ask how overpriced a craigslist gaming pc is. So, here's the deal. I'm looking for a low cost gaming PC. I don't really have that much extra cash, since im living the broke college kid life. But, my laptop is starting to die on me and I'd like to move a little bit more over to pc gaming. Right now i game a little bit on the ps4 and a LOT on the switch. I would mostly be looking at playing indie games, and some older AAA games, and maybe Overwatch if i get back into that. I also do a lot of work in Photoshop and Illustrator. So, cutting to the chase, I found an affordable pc on craigslist (Linked Here - <referral link removed (owner removed ad)>) Intel CPU X3450 @ 3.8GHz with 4Cores and 8Threads RAM -8GB DDR3 1600MHz GPU- MSI ARMOR RX 480 OC 4GB PSU- Insignia 520W ATX Power Supply MOBO- Gigabyte H55M-UD2H STORAGE- 240GB SATA 3 SSD I'm worried that the X3450 would be a bottleneck, and since it's a server CPU, if that would be an issue. It's got slightly higher scores than my Laptop's cpu according to PassMark. My laptop runs photoshop and illustrator very well, and can play overwatch on Low settings....with a little lag here and there. I'm fine with 1080p gaming, I've never found that much a difference between 4k and 1080p so. Not a problem for me Any advice would be appreciated. I tried building this on PC Part Picker, but couldnt find the CPU

I've watched the $69 gaming pc saga like... six times now. I just worry about part compatibility. I'm not concerned with playing games at 4k ultra settings or anything. I currently struggle to game on my HP Spectre x360 from 2015, so I just want ANY type of upgrade.
