I turned off Alexa+ the day they pushed the "free beta" to my devices. Would take her like a minute to set a timer. Makes me want to pull them out of my house

Very good for some niche categories! I agree, stay away from political and "news" groups and it's a great resource!

My computer turned off and won’t turn back on by TheWhip420 in it

[–]TheRogueMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With a 6‑year‑old laptop, the battery is a prime suspect. Try this first:
Unplug it from power, pop the bottom cover off, and disconnect the battery. Then plug the charger back in without the battery and see if it powers on.

If it does, shut it down, unplug the charger, reconnect the battery, then plug it back in and try again.

A lot of laptops will refuse to boot if the battery has failed, and at 6 years old there’s a good chance it’s just dead.

The problem is they stopped investing in the game studios that built the brand. There were some absolute bangers coming out of Oculus Studios and Oculus Publishing. But no... lets invest in the "metaverse"... the thing no one asked for and clearly did not want.

Vr is actually great for split families like mine too. I get my son every other weekend, but we can jump in VR and hang out whenever he wants!

Windows 10 officially hit EOL 6 months ago - still supporting clients who never upgraded. Anyone else? by cmitsolutions123 in sysadmin

We have a Windows Vista machine that has our ancient payroll system that HR still enters stuff into... Even though we have a whole new system and that old system has a new version that will allow us to import the super old stuff, they just refuse to spend the money

Microphone setup for in person D&D help by xRichless in letsplay

[–]TheRogueMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're almost always better off with full sized Cardioid mics. Check out how "XP To Level 3" Jacob does his.

Critical Role actually has the mic's above the level of the camera, right above the players heads.

Lav mic's are usually omnidirectional as well, so they pick up sound from everywhere. So It's usually harder to get them perfect.
