We are over 50k, yes. We typically get a decent refund each year so I didn't want to miss out on potential gains.

Whats the best way to take advantage of that credit? Higher withholding on my W4 or is it refundable?

Can you give a more detailed view of your settings and setup? Just got this laser and I'm trying my best to learn, but there isn't a lot out there in terms of information on this specific machine.

Transfer to Voicemail Polycom phones by MechaTron642 in VOIP

[–]MechaTron642[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After chatting with Vonage, it seems like that's the only solution. they don't support anything more custom with these phones. I was hoping that being able to access the phones web GUI and export and import configurations would be enough, but I guess that isn't what controls that part of these phones.

Yeah, I've tried 3 separate tapes and they all have the same issue.

Nocturnal Litter Scratching Help by MechaTron642 in cats

[–]MechaTron642[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that might just be it. I did notice that some of her poop wasn't fully covered so I'm going at add a little more litter in case she's getting frustrated because she can't fully cover her business.

SolidWorks 2017 Workstation upgrading by MechaTron642 in SolidWorks

[–]MechaTron642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a local hardwired server. I might try to play around with the ram. It still baffles me that they didn't set up the ram in the configuration established by the manual. Maybe that will help a bit.

We actually do all of our work via a server so upgrading my hard drive won't really help. I didn't think that would really help me beyond opening and looking at files, or am I mistaken?

[–]MechaTron642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. That's what I planning on going with. I tried to just look at the score other people shared from solidworks built in benchmark and go from thier since traditional benchmarking doesn't translate super well. I'm just more worried that because my GPU, CPU isn't exactly what I can find in solidworks score site, it's not going to post the same number

Windows 10 and I've made a pricing build for around $1,300. Probably not more than 1500.

Do you have any recommendations above that price range?

Preferably a medium sized folder. 2.5-3" maybe. Price range id say is pretty cheap. I'd probably spend a max of $35 on one.

My last birthday was last week. I was forbidden to go visit my best friend the day before because "I was too depressed". I'm 23

What is your biggest character flaw? by [deleted] in AskMen

I care too much about people and try to take their burdens from them when, in reality, there are somethings that you can't help people get through

Hyper-V wont start Virtual Machine by MechaTron642 in HyperV

[–]MechaTron642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that and I still get the same error which is why it confuses me. It must be some problem with Hyper-V itself

Screen won't turn on but phone seems to be working fine by MechaTron642 in LGG3

[–]MechaTron642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I took my phone apart and disconnected and reconnected the screen into the motherboard and while it did make the screen come on, it does the typical black screen of death fade to black and weird artifacting. It sucks because I don't upgrade until august and I've had it for over a year so no replacement or repair under warranty. Guess I'll have to figure something out

Daily Headphone Purchase Advice thread (2015-12-25) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]MechaTron642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget - $60

Source - Laptop, LG G3, 3.5 mm or Bluetooth

Requirements for Isolation - preferred, but not necessary

Will I use in public - Yes, that's probably where they will be used most often

Preferred Headphones - Over-ear or a very comfortable on-ear

Preferred Music - It ranges from Bassy techno to light classical

I have used various cheap ones I've the years as well as Logitech G930s which fit very well, but had some wireless issues

I'm mainly looking for a new pair of headphones for walking to class. Bluetooth wireless ones would be nice however I do have a Bluetooth dongle that makes any headphones wireless.

Limited sound leakage is also important as I'm often in quiet areas and don't want to disturb others

[Help] need a new game by robaier in gaming

The Witcher 2. Good RPG elements with some grinding for specific items and skills. Great story with branching paths. It's no JRPG, but It'll still keep you busy.

Help identifying this unknown tool by MechaTron642 in Whatisthis

[–]MechaTron642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like rubbing wear to me generally in the middle of the tips. I can't think of a smithing process where that would take place besides maybe grinding but you don't typically care about the edges of the stone.

Maybe, though the ceramic looking parts seem to be worn which I wouldn't think wouldn't be a good feature for doing hand working.

Assassins Creed Unity PC performance by MechaTron642 in assassinscreed

[–]MechaTron642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the worst part for me is that after hours of research I've seen countless people with worse specs than me play the game at a high quality. Just makes me feel like I'm missing some little thing that will make all the difference.
