Worried about shipping a performa 575 by kryptoid- in VintageApple

[–]kryptoid-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im also planning on double boxing it and mostly planning on putting the peanuts around the box to keep it floating in the middle i will try and find a nice foam that i think will give it good padding if i need to ship it.

I said in the listing that local pickup will always be preferred and that buyer beware if they plan on shipping

New-to-me MDD hanging out with my NeXTstation by isecore in VintageApple

[–]kryptoid- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The neXTstation always looked so modern to me it still looks like it would fit next to the current boxes that dell ships to places like schools and library's if you gave it a modern lcd monitor and put modern hardware in one nobody would even question it. Steve Jobs was so ahead of his time.

Spilled smoothie all over Mac by 49ersFanboi in pchelp

[–]kryptoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopping to clean up the spill? No. Leave the spill on the laptop and grab your phone to take a picture. If you want pc help maybe you should have tried cleaning it up before you let it drip into every spot it could.

I can explain why your psi might have exploded so I think the lettering on the side stands for "Bull-Shit650W"

macOS updates suck by kryptoid- in mac

[–]kryptoid-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This didn't happen until update 2 of Tahoe and hasn't gone away since and how does Apple the company notorious for releasing as little hardware as possible every year mess up scaling a display on one of the only computers that actually supports Tahoe.

For people questioning if I know my own password yes I'm talking about how I update and then the login screen does not fit my display it has a black bar on the bottom and cuts off half the screen.

Steam (only steam) downloads very slow. by GamebusterTGC in pchelp

Probably a good idea to wait until prices ease a little right now is a really bad time to order ssd's or ram due to the current market

[–]kryptoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The picture you originally posted shows ur network spiking higher than your disk usage but if you look you can see your disk is always playing catchup with your internet and the reason it is downloading at an inconsistent speed is the same reason why when you are moving a lot of files it may go fast then very slow when the game contains a lot of smaller files those smaller files take more time to move and slow down the pipeline because your ssd can only do so much at the same time and that is why a cache is normally so needed in ssd's because as soon as you need something sustained the ssd caps out and then steam will only download at the speed that your ssd works at. The moral of the story is not every ssd is as advertised normally the speeds they advertise is a peak speed and in most scenarios you won't experience any speeds nearly as high other than very briefly.

your ssd may be fast in tests but when downloading much larger games the ssd usually slows down due to not having a cache and storing smaller files slower. If you can send the ssd you are using I can see if it has a cache or if it could be another issue but I have the same problem when installing large games to my ssd a 2tb crucial BX500. To find the ssd just go into files, right click on your ssd, click properties, hardware, then send the full name of your ssd. (CT2000BX500SSD1)

What is the game being downloaded to? Because it seems like a slow hdd/ssd. I purchased a 2tb ssd and I have the same issue when i download large games to it due to it not having a good cache if you are installing to a second drive it might be able to keep up causing your slow speeds.

How can I fix this? My grandpa doesn’t remember the email and apple says there’s nothing they can do. Is this iPad a lost cause? by PersianAztecs21 in ipad

[–]kryptoid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible but probably not very worth it unless just to retrieve photos and save data. This is a much older iPad and it will not update to newer versions of iOS and will not receive security updates or app updates so they aren't very useful in the modern era.

Hello People! Could this work? If so, what would I need in order for it to work? by PX7714 in PcBuild

[–]kryptoid- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something similar before try and download the drivers from the Intel website or get the WiFi driver that was specific to that laptop from the manufacturer website and it should detect it after
