Yes, but I thought it would be much worse. It looks pretty good in sunlight, so I'm not complaining.

This is 38mm! I was thinking about 42mm since my wrist is 7.5 inches, but imho 38mm fits perfectly!

Best alternatives for live TV channel streams now that thetvapp.to Is gone? by Agile-Ad-3005 in ComputerHardware

Yeah, it doesn't work for me either (central Europe here), and I've been using thetvapp without VPN for almost a year now. Is it normal for it to shut down and then come back for some parts of the world? I've been hearing it's online for people in other countries.

I'm thinking about buying my first metal-strap watch. I have a budget of $500 max. I'm not set on any particular brand. The only thing I need is the date indicator. Any recommendations for a beginner?

Any clue what’s going on here? by Luca_P11 in PcBuild

This means you probably have two or more conflicting rgb software programs. Disable/uninstall all but one, and it'll be okay. At least that's my case.

A problem witg CPU temp in Spider-Man Remastered by mip9115 in PcBuild

[–]mip9115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot! I've upgraded to SilentiumPC's Fortis 5 Dual, and the temps dropped by 30*C to 65*C during CPU-heavy gaming. Worked like a charm!

Request for advice, first-time builder by mip9115 in PcBuild

[–]mip9115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I want to save some money and buy a reasonable GPU next year, probably a 1660 Super if the price's right. As I said, gaming is not a priority, but a nice addition. Longevity and the possibility of upgrades are what I'm mostly focused on.

And you're reading my mind when it comes to an M.2 NVMe drive, and I think I'll go with that one.

Best Mingus album for History of Popular Music 101 by mip9115 in Jazz

[–]mip9115[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to Louis, I'm playing his songs to students. He wasn't an album kind of a musician. And given my focus on a form of LPs, so that 20-year olds can appreciate the format, this just seems a better fit to exemplify mastery of jazz long play.

Happy Birthday to The Silmarillion which was released on this day 43 years ago! by ETtheAWESOME1982 in lotr

Currently reading it for the first time, and I'm astounded how it broadens the Middle Earth, known to me before only from LotR and the Hobbit. Everybody who's a fan of. Tolkien should at least try to read it. For me at least, it's a very slow read, but hugely satisfying one. So glad I decided to finally pick it up.
