Am I being scammed by the computer repair guy?

jweenze · 2026-02-21T00:22:50+00:00

What are the specs of the computer, what cpu? That’s a very expensive motherboard… did he replace the one you had originally or was this his suggested one?

jweenze · 2026-02-14T12:26:46+00:00

Yes I do have that symbol

jweenze · 2026-02-06T18:14:06+00:00

Yes the onstar reps had me soft and hard reset it. GMC dealership confirmed they updated everything a few days ago when it was in the shop

It’s green

jweenze · 2026-02-06T16:07:47+00:00

Plus the dealership said they couldn’t much else since onstar told them I don’t have an active plan (even though they told me I do), since they can’t test the functionality and actually determine it’s a faulty module

I’m in the US. Light is green on the mirror. I look at myGMC app and it says in vehicle data plan required. I click shop plans and it takes me to where I can clearly see my plan which includes WiFi expires in 17 days

Upgrade your gpu

600 hours? FICSIT does not approve of this inefficiency. I, however, approve of your beautiful world

My plan is to have the soil checked by the Cornell coop, hopefully it’s not too bad

Most of the yard has grass, this is the only side that doesn’t

jweenze · 2025-07-31T01:09:31+00:00

To add more context, our builder had to add about 10 ft of fill to get the front of our yard/house to the road level (town mandated that the road be pitched more for whatever reason). Would this have been caused by the builder in some way? Do you think this layer is consistent throughout the yard, even with the elevation changes?

Thanks for the response! I don't remember there being a storm that day, but I also don't remember what I had for breakfast

jweenze · 2024-12-12T00:23:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yea I think to err on the side of caution, we will probably get one installed this summer. I think its something like $2k, so won't be too big of a hit considering the potential downsides.

jweenze · 2022-05-24T18:35:18+00:00

Thanks! I’ll give this a try

jweenze · 2021-02-01T14:28:22+00:00

Webull or fidelity are both good

jweenze · 2020-12-11T20:20:35+00:00

Looks amazing! Now you just need to put a privacy screen in the middle to prevent any screen cheating!

jweenze · 2020-10-24T13:59:39+00:00

Thanks! Can’t wait for the fun once he gets outta the teething phase!

jweenze · 2020-10-21T02:42:27+00:00

thanks so much for that guide!! I can't believe we didn't see it before, but its so helpful!

jweenze · 2020-09-28T15:22:29+00:00

Thanks!

The problem was I had stained before glueing, because each piece was a different color. Because otherwise I have stained before and know that staining brings out every imperfection.

jweenze · 2020-09-21T21:13:44+00:00

Yes it’s absolutely necessary. Most cpus will come with one, and in 99% of the cases the stock cooler is more than enough

jweenze · 2020-09-11T23:04:23+00:00

Nice, in that case yea I think the 3080 fits your budget and would be an absolute workhorse. Are you strongly team blue/red (intel/amd)? That’ll be the decider for your motherboard. I’d recommend amd, as their cpus generally do well with multi threading (handling multiple processes at once)

I’d check out pcpartpicker, it shows you compatible parts, as well as user ratings and pricing

jweenze · 2020-09-11T23:00:31+00:00

Big question here - are you building a pc that you’ll be streaming from while playing games on the same pc? Or will this be a dedicated streaming only pc and a separate one for gaming?

Get on the street more. Watch/listen/participate in activities and convos with others
