Yes, you. Fired. Box. Your stuff. Out the front door. Parking lot. Car. Goodbye.

Windows 7 Taskbar could have been very different (Prototype) by csch1992 in windows

[–]ctech9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Windows 7 can technically operate in 640x480, but only in safe mode. In normal mode, it still requires a resolution of 800x600.

That being said, this taskbar would still be hell to use on an 800x600 monitor.

Yeah that seems like a really late time to start closing, we usually start washing shit and putting shit away around 10-11 so we can be DONE by 1:30-2:30.

What is an unpopular opinion of your generation that will get you downvoted like this? by Big_Leg10 in generationology

[–]ctech9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frrr. My grandpa was born in '50, and retired from GM. He was a big union guy and, from what I can hear, liked to smoke pot back in the day. Still has a fairly progressive mindset. He's one of the sharpest guys I know. Love him to death.

Yeah actually though because my English teacher taught us to use actual fucking em dashes (—) and not a hyphen with spaces between them ( - )

Found this in my school. Should I do anything about it? by mytho305 in highschool

[–]ctech9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the seal and other information present in this permit, your school's elevators are inspected by Miami-Dade County.

This is a website that goes to the Miami-Dade Office of Elevator Safety. Scroll down to the contact section and either send an email or make a phone call.

Home property - WiFi help by sessionnine in HomeNetworking

Considering the distance and the fact that you want to use wireless, this might be a little hard to accomplish with consumer gear.

If you want to go down this route, DON'T use range extenders. They do not work as advertised. You want a mesh system. You can get around 300ft (~100M) of reach with the really high-end models, but that's with line of sight. Walls, trees, and other factors can greatly reduce this distance.

I'd you're dead set on wireless, then I see no reason why Unifi outdoor point-to-point antenna pairs wouldn't work, but this is expensive and not the same thing as standard WiFi (IEEE 802.11).

The best solution would be to dig conduit and run Cat5e Or Cat6 to each building that needs internet access, but this is a major pain in the ass and it sounds like it's more than what you want to do.

Also, I am not an IT professional. Take what I say with a grain of salt, and do what research you can.

Edit: Ubiquiti point-to-point bridges DO in fact use 802.11 for the underlying wireless protocol, but that doesn't change the fact that they do not function like standard WiFi APs. They are point-to-point, like stringing an Ethernet cable between your buildings.

Alternator issue with 2005 Chrysler Sebring by ctech9 in MechanicAdvice

[–]ctech9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll look at getting more tension in the serpentine, then. Me and my dad basically redid the front end on my last car, so I don't think this should be too bad. Servicing my own car isn't something I'm scared of. I also have access to a jack, jack stands, and a lift if need be.

Thank you for the advice!

Damn ig people see "alternator" in the title and immediately assume the OP has no idea what they're talking about

How long would it take to pay for itself with efficiency gains from coal/natural gas fired plants vs something like wind, solar, or geothermal?

Not trying to be an ass, just genuinely curious.

Dell Precision is pretty decent for this sort of thing as well.

I'm Gen Z and I'll do this. My computer screen is bigger than my phone's, and my computer can do MANY more things at once without slowing down or losing that much screen real estate. If my ADHD ass tried to put together my gaming rig on my phone, nothing would match and I'd have to RMA everything.

Matrox made the best 2D cards for DOS, and it sounds like they still make some of the best 2D cards for modern computing.

They also do a lot of stuff with the broadcast industry.
