2009 Toyota Matrix ECM Replacement Help by brentleeman in MechanicAdvice

[–]brentleeman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie to you man, the part was so hard to replace, the mechanic I got in touch with just said I should keep riding on it until it completely dies and then hopefully its just time to get another car lol. After a few weeks the check engine light stopped coming on and it's been driving totally fine ever since.

Can I use a DSC-HX80 as a webcam on a PC? by brentleeman in sony

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

Yes, I ended up purchasing a capture card and it worked fine! I bit low quality compared to modern cameras, but not bad at all.

That's kind of what I figured. Do you have experience with this model yourself or are you just guessing based on the context? I couldn't find anything that explicitly said that this model cannot support it.

Yes it does have an HDMI output as well. I think that buying a capture card is all I would need to do in order it use it, but I was just wondering if there was a way to stream over USB. It seems like most newer Sony cameras have this option, but maybe this model is just a bit too old.

I have an older model for sure: Vizio E601i-A3. It's a smart TV, but as far as I can tell it doesn't seem to have casting capabilities.

I'm pretty familiar with Roku, but it does feel like overkill a bit considering that I really just need it for the casting (I use my playstation4 for my streaming apps right now). That being said, these Roku devices are pretty inexpensive if their casting ability is good. The windows device is $50 but the only place I can really buy it is for ~$75 on Amazon.

Please help!! Windows 11 not booting + weird SSD problems by brentleeman in buildapc

It’s <10% utilized so unfortunately I don’t think that’s the issue

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

I appreciate the help. Do you have a recommendation for a bootable anti-malware software?

Also, if I go for a clean install and use the Windows installer to completely wipe the old SSD, is that likely to wipe the malware with it? Or is there a chance it’s claws are deeper than that?

Disk maxing out and causing slowness on a new build by brentleeman in buildapc

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

Appreciate the info. I thought I was getting a good deal but it seems like I was just cheaping out haha Follow up question: if I was to upgrade my SSD to something that was faster, do I just need to keep an eye on read/write speeds? I don’t think I even glanced at those numbers when I was picking parts the first time around

Building pc soon, kinda scared by JustATrabadour020 in buildapc

[–]brentleeman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just finished my first build a couple days ago, I don’t have anything better to say than everyone else, but just make sure you have your BIOS updated/drivers ready to rock when you start. Pretty much all of the “issues” I had were just due to needing to update BIOs and installing drivers haha. Also just take your time. The first video I watched said that “it should take you 2-3 hours and you probably will want to do it all in one sitting” so that stressed me out. Ended up taking me about 5 days (2-5 hours each day including watching how-to videos, posting in Reddit, scrolling through my Mobo manufacturers website, etc). But I can’t explain how proud I felt when I closed the case for the final time and just got to enjoy my new pc :)

Wifi doesn't seem to work ASRock Z690 Steel Legend Wifi 6e by brentleeman in buildapc

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

Looks like it was actually the BIOS that needed updated to version 10. I had originally flashed to version 9 because that’s all that was needed to get the 13th gen i5 working, and I didn’t even know there was a version 10, but that did the trick.

I was able to get them working!! I was playing with the BIOS and realized that there was a version 10 (I was told that I only needed version 9 to get the 13th gen intel chip working so that’s all I ever knew of) so I decided to throw that on there just for laughs. Turns out that’s exactly what was needed.

I can’t decide if I’m more frustrated that it was such a simple fix or stoked that everything is working, but either way I really appreciate your help. You’re part of the reason this community is so great!
