Re: Solve one ESD problem discover another
... and let me guess, did they have MSI boards? Why the Hell would there even be that kind of bus power in S5 (powered off). That my bios doesn't distinguish between S4 and S5 (as indicated by the setting, even) is the problem. They are really the same thing except the system can resume from a hiber...

Solve one ESD problem discover another
While the new video card solved the problem of the PC needing a hard, cold boot when touching the case (or any ill effects), I discovered that sometimes it turns on when the case is touched. Bleary eyed in the morning, I shut down and went to my big sleepy chair and out of the corner of my eye I saw...
Re: Starfield
So I finished this game. The main story, and I acquired all the Starborn powers by going to all the ancient temples. I still had a bunch of side quests queued up, and still countless systems I could have gone to, but I decided I'd rather do all that in a New Game+ After acquiring all the artifacts, ...

Foxes and Fossils
These folks are a cover band, a group of dads and their daughters (hence the name, Foxes and Fossils). They are fabulous musicians, who, in many cases reproduce the music they are doing, better than the original artists. For example, this is the absolute best rendition of "Angel From Montgomery...

Re: Music we like
That's what I appreciated about it, that it was different. It didn't tweak any musical emotions or anything though. I generally don't like "Rap" EXCEPT for some of the nasty, funny rhymes. I don't care for the monotonous musical character of it, just the recitation and the beat kind of jus...

Re: agpgart
I could have gotten rid of agpgart 15 years ago... that it was loading and in use was what deterred me. Easier to just leave it, distributors all do.

Re: Ruck Fobocalls
I've toyed with a few of those, but now I just hang up. It can get pretty nasty once the jig is up. If I say hello and hear silence for more than 2 seconds I hang up, even. Most of the people manning those phones aren't very bright and it's funny to watch videos of people giving them a hard time.

It's a viable brand of PSU, a lot of those experts have them in their videos. I'm more leery of alternative brands of video cards, I've had bad experiences deviating from the path.
