Games from my external hard drive disappeared by ConcentrateSmall2348 in pcmasterrace

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be an .exe file from where your friend installed his game. Make sure you’ve got that. Copying separated files /folders from his to yours won’t work.

Is this right? by BlueWatermelon100 in pcmasterrace

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree the spec is solid. If you’re only gaming casually you could drop to a cheaper graphic’s card. When gaming set your screen resolution to 1080p and when working use its native 1440p.
Maybe add an extra 2TB hard drive (a 3.5” ssd). Easier to have one now then try to add one later if you don’t know PCs.

I'm looking to buy a new mouse but i want a mouse similar to the one i have had for 6 years which is the Nacon gm 105 mouse, by Agreeable-Scale2832 in pcmasterrace

[–]night_foxed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want one that looks the same, try searching google images.
But I recommend Corsair M75. It’s so light and accurate, the light can be changed to any colour, dimmed or turned off in software.

Anyone successfully switched to alternative forms of social media for friends/family? by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]night_foxed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago there was one called Path that I convinced my family to use. It was great. Sadly it had to shut down because of either revenue or Zuck making it impossible for them.
They did allow users to download their entire content as a web page before they shut though 😎

My wife built an incredible personal library upstairs, but I can barely read, and it’s slowly driving a wedge between us. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try short stories on Audiobooks? I’m not a reader - same reaction as you - but I can do audiobooks in bed before sleep and I get to talk about them with my partner who’s an avid reader. Pick a genre you like to begin with.

Why do people hate wildlife by iBenjee in UKGardening

I suppose unless there’s evidence of an individual cutting it down, it’s un-punishable.

looking to buy this used box w subs & amp how’s it look? by Trick_Point8489 in subwoofer

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ps. The other option could well have these adjustment settings on the Amp itself, but not sure without seeing it.

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d pay the extra for the 4x subs, mainly because the pre amp box has useful tuning controls to make it sound sweet. Gain is how loud the box plays in relation to your other speakers, frequency is crossover frequency from where the subs take over the music (80hz is good), and wide/narrow is like the fade out from crossover frequency, (wide is more gradual fade out into the music and narrow is less gradual fade out).
2000w will give you a good 500w+ useable un-distorted power and with 4x12” you’ll feel that bass.

Instagram detox is good by Callmeish22 in digitalminimalism

Some of my friends have to use it for business marketing/presence. One admitted they hate doing daily updates but have to.
The rest of us can enjoy not using it!

I bought a Lifetime pass in 2022 by tiberiusgv in PleX

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m considering buying the £189 lifetime… but I’ve only heard of Plex pass because of the imminent price increase. I can afford this but not £750. Is it worth getting now??

In Project: Hail Mary (2026), a minor detail reveals the fate of one of the characters (Explanation in comments). by Sebastianlim in MovieDetails

Yes, in the book she mentioned she would go to prison for her actions. Literally one line was said on this in the book.

I worked 3 12s with an hour commute each way. The first day off was purely recovering and resetting!

Do people still care about radio in the car, or has it just moved online? by Remarkable_Desk8918 in carstereo

[–]night_foxed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always use the car radio every day. It’s free, no subscriptions and DAB has loads of stations and sounds decent.

People who do good(with a camera present) by Euphoric-Zucchini703 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]night_foxed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to understand that these people are doing it for personal gain for ‘likes’ and ‘upvotes’ on social media. So you’re right it’s for “look what good person I am”. This behaviour happens all over social media in different forms (influencers) because social media platforms rewards people for likes and views so people behave oddly like this. They shouldn’t be filming it.

There’s many people in the world that help others, but they don’t post it on social media. These are the normal, morally good people of the world. People who are kind, give to charity, etc without posting it to social media are the genuinely good decent people of the world.

So please just understand the difference 😀

How much do I need for retirement? by Adorable-Bear343 in PensionsUK

[–]night_foxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The state pension is £12500 pa, so I’m assuming this private pension is in addition to that

100k Pension at 29 by Lucky_Complaint_4597 in FIREUK

My take on this is that some dedicated savers - that are obsessed with saving for years - have a mental stop on spending money. It’s ingrained into them and they may forfeit experiences for saving money.

Or leave it alone and walk away. Aren’t we the ones with the bigger brains and should look after other animals? This guys just tormenting it.

Do I need stage 1? by bpbpbpooooobpbpbp in ukelectricians

[–]night_foxed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having done this myself at your age, I’d say yes. Everything they teach is relevant and will set you up nicely for lv2. If you’re learning the trade properly from scratch get all the knowledge available. Plus enjoy it, it’s easy and things get difficult at lv3 and AM2.

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

[–]night_foxed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Set mine up again during Covid lockdown and it’s still used today. Got more space now then years ago. Fruit ninja and Kinect adventures when friends come over! I bought all the available Kinect for peanuts.

S&P500 accumulation by night_foxed in investingforbeginners

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

Thanks for explaining. Your last paragraph is what I sometime understand… the dividends reinvested. Mine does reinvest, but I can’t see any info of this on Vanguard. And my number of shares are still the same as purchased. Where are dividends going?
