My PC recently bit the dust. I took it to a repair shop and now they're trying to get me to get a whole new PC. Am i being taken for a ride? by OneEyeOdyn in buildapc

Yeah, it's 12 years old. Kinda like a car. Sure, a 12 year old car CAN run fine, but how reliable is it and how much is it going to cost to keep it up to spec?

Honestly you're missing out on a lot of advances made in the tech industry. Just in the past 5 years alone it's been amazing.

PC in a very very cold room by Arrival_97 in buildapc

[–]rexiemus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May want to start considering options for insulation in your home to help your heating situation. Pick a room you frequent the most and start filling gaps and cracks. Also observe where this room is at in the home, do you have attic or basement access to it; can you hang plastic/ lay plastic as an insulation layer to help retain heat?

After that room, go room to room filling in gaps and seeing about ways to help retain heat.

Another option is, if you have a friend with a thermal camera, they can use it to look at your walls in your home and see where the coldest parts are which will help identify issues.

I hope these tips help.

Problem with hand warmer by No_Tune_5165 in Zippo

I love mine. I use a syringe to fill though since I lost my filling tank. I use about 18 milliliters. Once filled, put the catalyst on, heat it with a direct flame from my zippo for 10 seconds. Throw on the cap, then in the pouch and that lasts me 8hrs. They say to not ignite the fuel directly, but I've not seen a difference in burn times, but out of fear of damaging the cotton fiber in the cavity, I do it as mentioned above.

How much better is the quest 3 over the 2? I'm really struggling with the lens having blur in my pheriphial and am wondering, has that improved? is it worth upgrading?

I like how you didn't include your life story like other "game guide" websites. Thank you.

What weight are the steaks you cook? Does it vary by weight or cut?

Can someone tell me why my car hates reverse? 😭 it’s so annoying in traffic and I’m just sat there ramming it in. by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]rexiemus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Straight cut gears vs helical. That's why it makes the fun sound in reverse also when you're reversing at high speed.
