BlueChinchillaEatingDorito reacted to Spotty in Leave the Comic Sans font, or some other similarly easier to read/more accessible font as the default.
Recent budget cuts from LMG meant that we could no longer afford the license for the font pack we were previously using. Comic Sans is the best free alternative.

Part of me still wishes they did more than just the comic sans. Like change the banner, title, or favicon to an inside gag.

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito got a reaction from Mark Kaine in Domain blocked issues across so many sites
Sounds like those specific sites are being blocked at the DNS or router level. Do you have access to your router's settings?

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito got a reaction from xifivette99 in Whats the best cpu for my dell optiplex 7040
The best CPU that would work is the Intel Core i7-6700. That being said, unless you have one lying around or can get one for pocket change, it won't be worth it as the gains in modern gaming titles would be within error due to the aging architecture.
The best GPU would probably be the GTX 1650 as you're limited to Dell's OEM PSU. Replacing that PSU with a conventional ATX unit is not impossible but at that point, you might as well start with a black slate and build a system from scratch or find a newer OEM platform. Those 6th gen processors won't be able to keep up with anything better than the 1650.

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito reacted to StarsMars in What was/is your major and what desktop/laptop do you daily drive?
Just going back to college now for Cyber Security.
Bought a used HP Elitebook 640 G9 12th gen intel i5.
Cleaned it up, put 16gb in it and a reimage. $200 for basically a new laptop.
The one I had before was an hp dv6 from 2011. Still works lol.
My desktop has a 3700x, 64gb ram, 2070super and 5tb.

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito got a reaction from AI_Must_Di3 in Finding out whether it's the port or the cable that's broken.
Unless whoever installed the network drop messed up when crimping the twisted strands to the plate, it's pretty rare for a failure in the plate.
You can get cable testers which will help you verify both continuity and that the stands were crimped in the right order. If even one of the twisted pairs is in the wrong order, it will cause a situation where there's no network connection.

For clarity and to follow some industry standard defitions, I'll refer "LAN port" as the ones on your router
and "network drop" as the wall socket.
You can still do the same thing. Switch the Ethernet cable that runs from the router to the network drop that isn't working, to a known good LAN port on the router. At the same time, switch the Ethernet cable of the network drop that was working to the LAN port you were having problems.

Yeah I’ve just emailed them so hopefully I can get it fixed soon 🙏

Warranty it. That's why you have it. No point trying to pull out all the stops in trying to fix it yourself. You're most likely going to break something even more, giving MSI even more reason to deny your claim and permanently void your warranty.
It takes one slip-up to royally screw things up when it comes to repairing monitors. Which is why it's often not worth it, outside of the high cost of replacement panels.

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito got a reaction from asheenlevrai in Whatsapp - how to go back and forth between android and iOS
Yep since Whatsapps stores the backups in completely different services for Android and iOS. Don't quote me on this, but it's likely a limitation made by Google and Apple respectively.

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito got a reaction from Mark Kaine in Manifest v3 arrives soon, time to ditch Chrome and install Firefox
The same reason why people in the mid to late 2000s still used Internet Explorer. If it works, it's just a hassle to switch to something different even if there is no actual gardenwalling to prevent people from doing so.
Once Chrome and Chromium in general pisses people off enough, then we'll see another shift in market leader much like what happened with Internet Explorer.

by these figures nvidia has a monopoly on GPU's, intel has a monopoly on CPU's, and lays has a monopoly on potato chips.

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito got a reaction from asheenlevrai in Whatsapp - how to go back and forth between android and iOS
It's possible... but it's a hassle. The target device needs to be reset to factory settings as it uses the migration option you typically find when setting up a new Android or iPhone. If you're using a Samsung device, you can use Smart Switch without doing a factory reset.

Microsoft support does not remote into your pc, you’ve been scammed, I highly advise you get on any different system and start securing any accounts you ever had logged into that pc.

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito got a reaction from venomtail in Is 20 yr old gpu better than modern igpu?
I mean a 20-year-old card, we're talking mid-late 2000s. You'd be lucky if the damn thing even outputted to 1080P to be honest. And even then, it'll probably struggle just doing that.

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito reacted to da na in Show off your old and retro computer parts
You can still buy these Zalman coolers new, or rather new old stock as evident by the dust on the box…
No idea how it survived shipping too, it was literally shipped in this box, wasn’t even taped closed…
Bought this for my 775 system, anything will be better than the stock cooler!

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito got a reaction from Mark Kaine in Getting 9 year old to play games other than Roblox?
I think you got it framed wrong here. It's about creating positive father and son/daughter experiences for them, not mainly for you. That's how you remembered the good times with your father. But what you're trying to do with your kids, is the opposite to that.

BlueChinchillaEatingDorito got a reaction from LumpyCrumpet in Thoughts on TrulyOffice
All of these links on the bottom just bring you to the top of the page.
Prices are missing on the main page.
Slogan is "Never Pay for an Office Subscription Again", then tries to sell you subscriptions.
Screw BBB, we have "No Spyware", "Verified Quality FinancesOnline.com", "100% clean Download", and "Good Software". All very convincing badges.
The whole thing screams lazy and classic scam.
If your community members were able to pick up this many red flags in a matter of minutes, perhaps a review of processes is in order. Just the whole premise of the business does not make sense, it contradicts itself. They're promising people the idea of not being tied to subscriptions (such as Office 365 and G-Suite), by selling them subscriptions to their product. In this particular instance, it feels like the community was made the first line of defense.
