Hi Steve. Have you heard from Tom? Been a while.
Hi Steve. Have you heard from Tom? Been a while.
Just freeze your credit. It is the simplest and easiest solution. It sucks, but it seems to be the best utensil to eat the shit sandwich we’ve been fed.
You had me in the first half, but the second is icing on the cake.
I have heard they (South Korea) plan on building skyscrapers with screens covering the buildings, so that they can project the background skyline via the screens. The effect would be to render the building almost invisible. Seems like a lofty goal, so I am not sure if they are still pursuing that project or not.
I don’t think so. In another post it scored Newsweek credibility as “High”.
I don’t agree with that assessment, but still appreciate seeing what the bot says.
The sheer absurdity of labeling an organization with “United Nations” in its name as a terrorist org is astounding. At what possible point would someone there ask, “Hey, do you think it’s us who are the baddies?”
Likely never, but it does make me wonder.
The most Western of diseases: lead poisoning.
What a coincidence! I have picnicking issues.
Nah, this is not really a tech support community, but whatever. (Unless it is a tech support community? I always thought pcmasterrace was supposed to be a hair on the sarcastic side.)
I just came from the “Is my PSU broken?” thread here. This sub is supposed to be like the reddit sub, but honestly whatever gets posted here is fine with me. As long as it is PC related. I just like seeing something…anything…posted. I am not going back to the other place and want it to work here.
I am more than happy to help with tech support here as well as read snarky sarcastic PCMR material if it happens to show up. We just have a lack of it atm.
They sell PSU testers for $15-20. I bought one years ago and it still serves me well. You plug in the 24-pin and the other power connectors and it will tell you where it’s faults lie. If none, then the motherboard should be scrutinized next.
Capacitors exist all over your system. They are on nearly every component. Look for them and then look for the bulge out the top. There are reliefs (a big X) in the top of the capacitor to allow it to “blow” out that direction. Sometimes it only bulges and does not blow, but that’s enough for failure. If you open your PSU, try not to root around too much with your fingers. Be cautious of the power load that might remain. Visually inspect the caps. It might only be a slight bulge or none at all, but the caps can still die.
I’d lend you a PSU, so maybe you have a friend close who might too? You may still consider buying a new PSU to allow for future upgrades and put the old one on the shelf as a spare or for other purposes. That is, if the PSU is fine. It is still possible the motherboard is at fault, but again with these symptoms, it would likely be a cap.
Good luck!
For insurance to cover it the data tells them whether you are using it or not. If you don’t meet the minimum usage they won’t pay for the machine. Buying it yourself negates that, but they can get spendy.
Do not buy Philips.
Whereas we are smack dab in the middle of cities, but just far enough out of reach to be stuck with 20Mb DSL that will never improve.
Yes, whilst you do have a telemetry box, it is not phoning home. Data must be actively pulled from it by hand. As you know, typically this is done after an accident to better tell what the car went through. I know there are people who have sought to disable the boxes, but I don’t know the legal or insurance ramifications of doing so. It is also difficult to locate them as they are “hidden” in the mass of wiring and other components. There are probably manufacturer-specific auto forum discussions on the matter to refer to.
Years ago I found a good list of manufacturers and the year they became compliant. I can’t seem to find the same list today (isn’t that the way with the internet?). I did find this site that seems to list the recovery capability of the vehicles which indicates whether they are compliant or not. This should suffice:
https://blackboxrecovery.com/supported-vehicles/honda?rq=honda
It looks like you are in luck! Bad luck anyways. 2012 was the first year that Honda model was compliant according to that site.
Edit: Here is another list so you might cross check (PDF warning): https://www.collision-recon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/EDR-Supported-Vehicles-List.pdf
Every car. Not pretty much every one, but every one. Telemetry boxes have been around for a while and you can even get Telemetry Insurance if you have one. I think by 2015 all manufacturers had them.
Edit: I want to also state this is for the US. Other nations are also doing this, but may not be there yet.
Really? Which episode? It’s been a few years…and were they making a movie…? Yes, they did. I went and looked on imdb. I’ll need to see that.
Such a great show!
Here we have men going infertile, whereas in the movie it is the women. Yes, they could follow, certainly. Placentas might not be viable because of all the microplastics, or something. I don’t know as I am no babyologist.
Children of Men almost had it right.
I love pudding cups! Oh shit, I am olde!
We’ve all been forced into this situation and the genie will never be back in the bottle. Freeze your credit. That’s the best thing you can do at the moment. Then hopefully others aren’t able to take advantage of your data.
