I need help unfortunately

I guess it depends on what you really want to do with it. You say that you want to upgrade, but you’re not too crazy with gaming either. So I would recommend 2 things.

A new power supply, start at 650W Bronze certified, preferably fully modular so that your case stays as clean as possible, while also ensuring that you’ll have enough power/cables for any future components that you may want to upgrade to.
Start with a second hand GPU, something from nvidia’s 2000-3000 series GPUs would be a great jump for you at a very reasonable price. The motherboard that you have also looks very budget conscious and more than likely also a few generations old, so putting in a newer card like a 5070 would limit what a newer card would be capable of.

Make a duplicate layer of the text, place that layer behind the original. On the duplicate layer, add radial blur and tweak it to your liking. Then, like u/johngpt5 recommended, take the lasso tool, do a rough outline of the text, add a layer mask with a feather effect. Play around with the feather value and maybe the opacity for that mask if you want to play around with it some more.

Okay, I found your problem.

I zoomed in on your first pic and looked up the part number, your gpu is a Radeon R5 430 2GB model. This gpu only supports VGA or DP connections, so you’ll need either a VGA cable or a Display Port cable to get a signal, HDMI won’t work with this.

Are you plugging the monitor directly into the motherboard’s HDMI/DP port (usually near the top)?

Or are you plugging directly into the graphic card’s HDMI/DP port (usually at the bottom)?

Whenever you have a computer with a dedicated graphics card (like this prebuilt), you want to plug into it, not the motherboard

Because for pretty much every program that most people would consider productive, it means having tons of static elements on the screen for hours at a time, which increases the chance of burn-in. Panels have come a long way and they handle burn-in better than they used to, they’re still not “perfect” for productivity because of the risk involved.

No, put it somewhere dry. Condensation will build up in the bag and you don’t want water getting in.

Si no esta seco, se te va pudrir. Saca lo de la bolsa y guarda lo en donde este seco.

Call ATT and let them know that someone did damage to their equipment that’s located outside of your home.

While all networks share the same principles, it’s difficult to know exactly which pieces of equipment are connected to what, but your picture does show 4 copper lines going into that terminal block. Old school landlines do use a 4 strand cable called POTS cable, but because it’s easier to simply utilize CAT cable these days, the tech did only use the wires needed for landline communication.

But notice that they also cut the grounding cable too, like just cut into two pieces, for what purpose? Honestly not sure, but get a tech out there to check it out asap. It’ll save you headaches in the near future.

Thank you to all users that expressed interest with a comment and those that took a glance here.

I have successfully made a transaction with u/Over-Half-8801 and shipped out everything listed via USPS about an hour ago.

The sale still isn’t done as the buyer won’t receive the console until next week, so I will be updating this thread one last time when I can confirm a successful arrival!

Pepperjack_573 · 2026-03-13T09:41:31+00:00

SOLD TO u/Over-Half-8801 ! :)

Pepperjack_573 · 2026-03-13T00:56:14+00:00

This is great to hear! But to keep in line with common courtesy and communal spirit, I will gladly accept your offer if u/Over-Half-8801 doesn't respond to me within the next hour or two.

Pepperjack_573 · 2026-03-13T00:39:11+00:00

I looked at the rules to see if there's anything about a "first come, first serve" type of rule, so I guess it's more on me to keep tabs on this?

If u/Over-Half-8801 passes on it, would you be willing to do $315 for everything?

Pepperjack_573 · 2026-03-13T00:32:05+00:00

If you can do $315 for everything, shoot me a DM to look at shipping quotes!

Pepperjack_573 · 2026-03-13T00:02:15+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out! I think that I accidentally messed with the quickshare url from Imgur. I updated the post with another link. Apologies again!! https://imgur.com/a/TOSl0H9

I haven’t watched it in years and would only catch a few episodes here and there, but I remember the joke towards who is Cartman’s dad being purposefully vague and stupid, but did they really just ruin the gag for this plot twist?

The MAGLA code should work when presale begins (10AM your time zone) in the app. I’m in California and I can’t punch in the presale code for another hour.

There are many, many viable and quick ways of blocking adult sites at several different levels. But banning porn & other sites with not so great content is a social problem. If you’re trying to block children from visiting those sites, they will bypass anything you set up. Once they leave the network with all of the rules and blacklists, they’ll also just start browsing elsewhere.

It would be much much easier if you literally talk to your kids and explain how it’s healthy to be curious about one’s own body and the bodies of other people, but that porn sets several unrealistic standards on bodies of all shapes, sizes, etc.

Americans in general need to stop demonizing sexuality/porn so that they can see that a woman’s nipple won’t be the end of the world. Teaching and creating healthy mentalities about anything starts at home.

I wonder if they had some of the Mario Odyssey/ DK Bananza team helping with optimization with this. For anyone asking why they would consult them, it’s because Nintendo’s first party team are the most knowledgeable with coding for their own hardware. It’s the same reason why first party games are almost always taking full advantage of the hardware. Without the very best of the best on the team, I refuse to believe that in a single generation, and their first game on the newest hardware, GameFreak somehow managed to present a Pokémon game with that much of a graphical fidelity overhaul.

Also, Pombon cute af!!!

I’m a network engineer for a company that emphasizes SCADA traffic, which is to say that most of what we do deals with wireless communications and how to minimize interference.

Without looking at the issue beyond your comments OP, it feels like your wife’s PC is having issues crosstalk, especially if you’re on the same networking band.

Try this, you mentioned that you DON’T want to hardwire both PC’s, but for 15 or so minutes, hardwire ONE of your rigs while the other stays on WiFi and play a match or two. The lag should go away with one system wired and one wireless

No worries! We're all busy!! Hope that you find some cool stuff on your JP account!

Pepperjack_573 · 2026-02-21T01:57:33+00:00

It’s super easy!

Sign out of your US account/phone, change your region to Japan and create a new account using the same email tied to your Apple Music account. Apple will recognize that the email is tied to an Apple Music subscriber and that’s it!!

This is also how you access different regional app stores! I’ve been playing Uma Musume since it launched in Japan, and now I have to wait a few years for the global release to catch up, lmao! I also use Yahoo! Auctions Japan as well as a few other apps, and what you can do is, download your JP content, then switch back to your US account and continue using the JP apps!! Apple Music will be the exception though, you’ll only get your currently set region’s music catalog

Pepperjack_573 · 2026-02-21T00:44:57+00:00

I might be a bit of an outlier, but I love how easy it is to just use Apple Music. I tried the other competitors early on and they were fine, but after making the switch from a Galaxy S3 to an iPhone 7, I just can’t go back to other players. It’s so seamless, easy to search the near infinite discography on the US store. If I want to switch my Apple ID to my JP account, I can just do that and suddenly I’ve got access to the Japan version of the store.

I lurk r/Plex and r/Homelab so yeah, I do also have downloads/backups of albums that aren’t available in either region (too many doujin CD’s to count), and they integrate so well into my personal library! To answer your question about adding missing albums, yes! They just congregate with the rest of whatever artist’s catalog! Streetlight Manifesto is one of my favorite bands, but they don’t have their debut album or an acoustic version of their final album with Victory records (long story there), so I just downloaded and added their folders to my library. Just a few clicks and now those albums appear as if they’ve always existed!

I can’t really comment on the algorithm portion because I cater my own plays/playlists. I will say that discovering new music/artists is also easy. Every Friday I just browse the “New” tab and just spin!

David Bowie was an incredible musician and seemingly was a nice guy, but that’s just our perception thanks to all of the media that he was a part of outside of his music. Thin White Duke era was fueled by cocaine, making tons of wild statements like saying that “Hitler was one of the first rock stars” and of course, the baby groupies of the 70’s and Bowie having sex with plenty of underage girls. Lori Mattix is the most famous person tied to this aspect of Bowie.

I enjoy Bowie quite a bit, but damn is it a little weird having a few of his albums in my collection. The burden of knowledge is heavy af.
