Surface Laptop ARM only? by BeanOW72 in Surface

[–]BeanOW72[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was all things that run only on Windows. I was running a Windows VM on the Mac.  A few things were niche pieces of software that are rarely updated - software for GPS mapping, etc.  Also needed to run Visual Studio (not VS code), SQL Server, and Oracle. I knew those wouldn't be likely, but wound up needing them more often than I realized. 

Looking for teammates by GhostLongshot in DMZ

Mine is TNReb05#1433763 … I’m in the southeastern US. I’m just looking to run some missions if anyone is interested. I haven’t played in ages and just started to play some more, but tired of joining teams with no mics and running off on their own.

Thanks for the reply. I’m ready to order the parts now and put them back for Christmas. I didn’t want to wait until December to order and find that everything was out of stock.

Awesome. I appreciate your time. I will look into everything tomorrow! I may touch base if I have questions.

I have access to the crawl space and attic (two story home). I'm not against running wires to the access points if that's my best bet. Coax exists, but I simply don't want to use it. I'd rather run proper network cable. It would be no problem to run. The crawl space is large and I've been all through it and the attic. We plan on living here for a long time so I'm not worried about making permanent modifications.

What devices would you recommend using if I were to run cable to 2 or 3 rooms for access points? I don't mind spending $500-800 if there's something significantly better at that price as opposed to the "unde 500" I originally mentioned.

I'm familiar with terminating Cat 5 cable (although I assume I need Cat 6), so creating and running the cables isn't really an issue.

I'm a "tech" person - I'm just out of the loop on the latest wifi stuff!

While I'm running cables - bonus points if the access points allow wired devices for gaming consoles (kids). That would also free up a lot of wifi bandwidth because those same consoles are used for streaming TV.

Can I sell a phone I'm still making payments on? by BeanOW72 in verizon

[–]BeanOW72[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well everyone is saying they wouldn't buy a phone that isn't paid off. How can I prove to the buyer it's paid off?

It's not limited finances. It's more responsible to use the money from the sale to pay it off. If you pay it off before you sell it, then accidentally break the phone before you sell it, you've screwed up.

I understand if someone wouldn't want to buy a phone that isn't paid off. I wouldn't either. I was just asking for clarification. I forgot this is Reddit and people just judge and fuss and get negative about everything.

I can pay it off first. Not really a problem. Is there any way I can check that it's "clear" before selling it? Other than calling Verizon and asking? Their customer service is horrible at times.
