Biography
Due to Covid-19, I lost my job, and am taking it as an opportunity to learn new skills and pursue web development! I've also started my own Youtube channel to share the things I love with the world. Stop by and say hello! Stay classy (and dapper), Internet. ;)

Video Attachments Break When Editing Post
theDapperFoxtrot replied to theDapperFoxtrot's topic in Forum Bugs and Issues
Yes I did it all in Chrome. To be honest I didn't notice it until after I submitted the edit. You'll see on the post now, that there's a second video attachment, and it appears to be broken also, but if I scroll up the thread, and then back down to my post, it loads? Super weird, indeed! -
Browser, version and OS: Chrome, Version 85.0.4183.121 (Official Build) (64-bit), Windows 10 Steps to reproduce/what were you doing before it happened? - Upload a .mp4 - Attaches properly, but does not allow text formatting unless you leave white space beforehand - Posted, then tried to edit post to add text. Allowed me to add text, but broke video upload (auto replaced with download link) What happened? - Cannot delete broken video What did you expect to happen? - Upload video, and be able to format to the left or right of it to add text above or below. Link to a page where it happened, if applicable: Screenshots of the issue, if applicable: Any other relevant details: Each time you activate the edit option, several lines of white space are automatically added above and below lines of text, as shown in the screen shot above. If it's a cloudflare error, what was the ray ID from the bottom of the error page?

Welp, you win for sure!

I believe you! I call my PC Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, because I love it, but it needs a good 'cranking' to start up and she's spittin' fumes. xP

There is a TON of spam in this thread, so I thought I'd do all the thread viewers a favour and bump the actual entries to this contest. Enjoy! Please don't spam if you're not participating. Read the thread before you post for details! Dapper

Dang, I saw the few other people who posted here. They're quite good at editing! I'm still learning (using Kdenlive due to my $0 budget), so I appreciated the challenge of keeping it within a minute. Edit: Not sure why people would make fun of someone struggling to make ends meet. "Be excellent to each other!"

Not sure if there are members here posting their entries, but even if I'm not selected, I hope some folks might appreciate my work! Cheers

Converting a laptop to a desktop
theDapperFoxtrot replied to DrPickle's topic in New Builds and Planning
Despite your edit, it doesn't change the fact that many components are designed with mobile devices in mind. Are you saying you have full size RAM sticks in this laptop and not SO-DIMMs? You should also double check that the CPU and GPU aren't mobile. These are all being powered by a battery or power adapter, so these components likely are all going to be running as designed to avoid overheating a laptop. Anyone let me know if I'm confused? -
Converting a laptop to a desktop

If you're fairly new to computer hardware, I highly recommend watching Professor Messer on Youtube. He covers all the topics you need to be a certified IT technician, but sections 1.X would be the videos you're after. -
Converting a laptop to a desktop
theDapperFoxtrot replied to DrPickle's topic in New Builds and Planning
Have you seen other people do this? Many motherboards in laptops are custom and thus limited in upgradability. It isn't strictly about space in the case. You'll be held to the hardware that said motherboard can accommodate. Interested to know what others think. My first thought is, source 'newer' used parts, and sell the laptop to help fund the build. -
Help me whether I should buy an SSD
theDapperFoxtrot replied to pouqwo123's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
The most crucial benefit to an SSD upgrade is to boot your OS off it for quick load times when starting up/rebooting. If you do make the upgrade, consider backing up your files and doing a fresh install. Use the SSD as your primary drive this way, additionally for any large files that need to be loaded quickly, such as HD videos if you edit, or games with 'long' loading screens. The rate at which an SSD can read and write is comparatively significant. -
Relativty - The DIY VR Headset for "$200 or less"
theDapperFoxtrot replied to theDapperFoxtrot's topic in Hobby Electronics
I hear you, but if you're like me (and realize why Fartbook products are priced that way), then you would get far more enjoyment out of building your own. -
Hey all! I'm a big fan of VR, despite never having the hardware to own it myself, but I worked in an arcade where I experienced the Vive Pro a short while before Covid. Anyway! I discovered this through my many VR related subscriptions. Relativty (spelt this way). While it won't have the same level of quality perhaps as a retail unit from Valve, it's a really interesting idea! Looking forward to seeing people with more technical skills to put together their own iterations. I am looking forward to doing this when I have the necessary tools. (3D printing and soldering is involved, naturally)

Wan show playing in the background of a car crash

I hope everyone involved is alright. An interesting coincidence re: The WAN Show, but I don't /see/ anything funny here. -

Hey! Good to meet you. Totally understandable if you're seeking more expertise to assist, but the insight on the stack is nevertheless helpful. I'm learning PHP and MySQL as a matter of fact, so if I'm ready by the time you're still seeking aid, then sign me up, boss!
