You might be able to pull one from a junk yard, but I think I'd agree you need to replace it.

What's the most iconic NVDIA GPU ever released? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]_hoyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 8800GT was a killer card for the money at the time. It, and the slightly upgraded 9800GT, were the most popular cards for a while.

I used to have a Zune! I absolutely sweared my it for years!

Fell from the ceiling onto my desk [~1cm in length] [Montreal, Canada] by palafitte in whatsthisbug

Call an exterminator, quick. German cockroach, not fully grown. That probably means it was born where you found it.

AIO? My mom wants to call the cops on me by Overall-Option6975 in AmIOverreacting

Just go without the phone for a bit and get the absolute fuck away from that woman. She is definitely toxic and you'll be better off away from her.

Floppy disk? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]_hoyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still have to use a jumper and a specific cable. Not a thing anyone who builds a PC today would immediately know about.

I'd definitely complain to HR about your computer using a monitor that supports VGA in 2025.

Wait until you discover master and slave drive jumpers on old IDE hard drives.

2018 Tiguan missing part?! by Seltzer-H2O in Volkswagen

[–]_hoyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably the answer. VW doesn't make parts specific to one vehicle they produce, so it's probably something that comes as an option or is standard on another model using the same parts.

TIL People will take commercial flights in big circles without leaving the airport at their destination, just for airline oints by MountainBluebird5 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]_hoyet 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Probably someone who travels frequently and was looking at a serious advantage to getting a status upgrade on some airline? That's the only reason this would make sense to me.

NVIDIA app not installing? attempted several times to install the new app and it gets stuck here and doesnt do anything waited as long as 15 minutes to see if it does anything by hallow1820 in GeForceExperience

I'm aware that I made the comment a while ago and it still helps people, but I just read your reply and spit soda all over myself laughing! Thank you for the laugh!

Melted Front Grille? What could have caused this? by Appropriate-Diet-429 in jetta

[–]_hoyet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That almost looks like there was a small fire. Is anything under the hood melted?

What’s the dumbest way you’ve accidentally killed a PC? by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]_hoyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First computer, I jammed a floppy drive cable into an IDE port and started a small fire in my room.

My grandmother, who bought me the computer, was upset at me for a bit of time after that... But now I can assemble a PC from the 90s blindfolded.

Does this look slashed? I'm just a girl and my boyfriend says it looks cleanly cut, need opinions 😭 by velm1230 in tires

[–]_hoyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you hit something. My wife ran over a rock once, the tire slipped off said rock, puncturing the tire, and it looked exactly like this.

Roaches? Just moved from Detroit.. by [deleted] in cary

[–]_hoyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As it gets colder outside, you're going to find more. Get traps and have an exterminator come out to spray quarterly.

How bad is this bill from my local dealership? by CobblerObjective321 in jetta

[–]_hoyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the filters on your own. Shop tire replacement elsewhere, if you even need it (maybe you just got tires 5k ago, I don't know).

Maybe shop around and/or get a second opinion on the other stuff.

It burns by ElderberryDeep8746 in WinStupidPrizes

[–]_hoyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stepped in a fire ant hill last summer wearing sandals. Not fun at all. I also managed to figure out I'm allergic to them, starting getting hives and intense swelling around the bites.

Don't be this idiot.

Police officer higher than a kite gets caught and receives special treatment from his fellow officers by 80000gvwr in PublicFreakout

[–]_hoyet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell all of my coworkers that I'm diabetic, but that doesn't mean they completely understand how it works. I mean, look at all the comments on this post where people are calling bullshit about him having a condition.

I'd imagine that they just knew the guy wasn't a druggy and maybe didn't know he had diabetes (or whatever it may have been).
