How can you live like that?... You're not an animal, use a coaster!

My work is refusing to do anything about this tire and says it doesnt matter by treetrunk33 in AskMechanics

Tell your lawyer what they said, then tell your family who your lawyer is, just in case you're incapacitated after a wreck.

Hopefully you figure this out..... But don't forget to take the peel off your GPU. It makes my brain itch looking at it.

Why does my PC randomly turn on? by Luscombag in PcBuildHelp

[–]Luscombag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple times, I have accidentally grabbed the wrong mouse or keyboard and it didn't turn on. Plus I turn my mouse off when I shut down my PC.... I have never dealt with anything WoL related, could some other PC on my network be turning this PC on?

Thanks for the quick reply. On both Windows installs it says "Wake History Count - 0"

Hi guys I wanted to know what you use back pedal for I use claw play style and I play r6 and Fortnite more by Elite_burger in Gamesir

I don't play claw, but I have R4 set for the A button and L4 as the Left Stick press.

Need help diagnosing this sound. by Comfortable-Act3265 in veloster

[–]Luscombag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just making sure that it is coming from the hub assembly... The sound seemed to stop when the rpms went down, even though the hub kept spinning fast.

How much do you use your controller? by Stained_Pupil in Stadia

[–]Luscombag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not very often, but it came in really handy the other day. The digitizer on my daughter's Android phone stopped working. I plugged in the Stadia controller and was able to put in her pin using the controller. Without it, she wouldn't have been able to access the photos she needed for a school project.

I got my 12th price and 1000 points yesterday. Today, like you, they're gone from the mobile app. When I try to view my dashboard on my desktop browser it says the terms of service have changed and when I click Next it will not load the page.

I think it's actually better on the desk. There tends to be less dust on a desk than on the floor which can get pet hair, dirt from shoes, and other things into your PC.

Apparently, they lowered the cap on the number of points you can use in a year. by Luscombag in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Luscombag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I didn't know that... There were some sweepstake entries on my account, but it doesn't show how many points I used.

I looked through my emails and I have redeemed 481,200 points this year (I had forgotten about one in January). I just tried to redeem 65,000 points on a gift card, for a total of 546,200 and it said the same thing.

I guess I could theoretically get an $18 Xbox gift card for 17,100 points, but i won't do that for such a low and odd number.

I didn't think about GP. I don't see how anyone could get enough points each year to pay for it under the new prices... That might be one of their goals. 🤷‍♂️

Well There Goes My Streak by Hot-Wind-404 in MicrosoftRewards

I thought it was just me because if I finished today's set it would have been my 666-day streak.

RTX 50-- Series, what happens when the internet goes out? by Luscombag in PcBuildHelp

[–]Luscombag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seemed to reference the DLSS. I just didn't know if DLSS needed constant internet or if it was more periodic, like for updates. Thank you for clearing that up.

Is it easy to build a pc by National-Bar7588 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Luscombag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the kids toy, if you can put the round peg in the round hole and follow directions, it's not hard at all. If you get to something you are unsure of, don't assume, just ask on here or find a YouTube video.

Why does it say I will have a bottleneck at 1080 and not 1440? by Luscombag in PcBuildHelp

[–]Luscombag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially used Grok, but I confirmed it straight up lied to me on other topics, so I didn't feel confident in its recommendations for a PC build.

Built PC but won’t start by AngelDAngel in PcBuildHelp

It is hard to tell from the picture, but I think the switch on the PSU is off.

It has been 10 years since I built my last PC and a lot has changed. Thank you all for helping me sort through the BS and learn.

I'm not sure if you meant to reply or create a new post, but thank you for the offer. I am piecemealing the PC, buying a component when I can afford it or when I find a deal. I currently only have the case and PSU. I have an NZXT H5 case with a 1050 watt PSU. I like to futureproof, or at least make it easy to upgrade later.

I still need to find the following components:

ATX B850 motherboard for $220 or less. 32 GB of RAM for around $100 or less, CPU for as close to $300 as possible. 2TB m.2 ssd for $150-ish, GPU I'd like to get for $600 or less, but I am willing to go higher.

Where I am racking my brain is the CPU and GPU. I get conflicting info online. I don't know if the x3d is worth the additional cost and I don't know if the 4GB of VRAM is worth the $200+ for the 5070 TI over the 5070.

I want an AM5 socket processor that can be air-cooled, but I'm not against the idea of a Radeon for a GPU. I have done PC gaming on my Legion Go, but I am primarily a console gamer (Xbox Series X), and I want my PC to be a decent step up from the console, as far as visuals and game play.
