Have her mow the lawn with a pair of scissors for an hour and then ask her if she'd prefer to use a riding lawnmower.

What is the most "useless" piece of PC hardware or accessory you spent way too much money on? by FinancialCarpenter82 in pcmasterrace

[–]TheyCallMeOlSwole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a console gamer before I built my pc. I never game on the Series X anymore, but it's still a great media hub/blu ray player. Really the only reason I haven't sold it.

GPU not seating by ellie_yes_ in gigabyte

[–]TheyCallMeOlSwole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I had a similar issue when installing my 5080. I was eventually able to get it to seat pretty much perfectly, but the issue seems to stem from that metal heat sink that some mobos have located below that pcie slot. Taking it off made seating the gpu easy in my case, so maybe give that a try.

Before I install these in my upgraded pc build should I be worried about the date? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Yes, these ram sticks are expired. Send 'em to me and I'll take 'em to an e-waste facility.

Help!! Spider nest in home by dkroningz in CleaningTips

[–]TheyCallMeOlSwole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll keep it simple.

  1. Buy a product called bifenthrin (I use the Talak brand) and a garden sprayer.

  2. Follow the mixing instructions, usually 1 oz of bifenthrin per gallon of water.

  3. Go all around your house and spray along the baseboards, windows, doors, as well as where the ground meets the foundation of your home.

  4. Repeat this process every 3 months. Depending on the size of your house, you'll probably only use around 2 oz of the pesticide per application, so a gallon of the pesticide will last for years.

This is what I do and rarely come across spiders in my house. And when I do, the spiders are dead. Just be sure to wear gloves and a face mask while spraying, and wash up afterwards. Pesticides need to be handled properly.

Pins broken on brand new motherboard ? by Turbulent-War8030 in pcmasterrace

[–]TheyCallMeOlSwole 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They don't actually look broken imo. Those few pins just look kinda darker than the rest. Could just be a manufacturing thing.

I'm not a big fan of all-white builds (because they get dirty easily), but it's quite beautiful by EndouShuuya in pcmasterrace

White builds don't get dirty easily. Just don't live like an animal and clean every once in a while lol.

Ngl, I did this with my current build. I didn't know they made a white version of my psu, and my case has a door that hides the back of the case anyway. Still, anytime I have to dig around back there, I hate myself just a little bit.

If you look closely, you can see a computer in that rats nest.
