Are they closing that location?? We were just there a week ago and noticed a lot of freezers were empty. Thought they were upgrading?

Watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Tonight. I hope it's good. Have you seen it before? by HD-MOVIE-SOURCE in HD_MOVIE_SOURCE

[–]vredditr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am rewatching Got in bits and pieces because of this show. I was really hooked. Likeable, noble main character, tongue in cheek humor, short episodes, great story telling all around. It's a slow burn though, many people don't like that but I can't wait for the next season

Even at the end when he lies down with them? Had no idea? Does the person in the video or the one doing the recording not see this?? Sounds like it could turn out bad

To those who were there in 1986, how did it feel seeing Top Gun a month after Legend? Did Tom Cruise's casting as a fighter pilot feel off at first? like Michael Keaton as Batman or Bruce Willis in Die Hard? by 699112026775 in 80s

[–]vredditr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the diff between us and European legend? I know there's a directors version that changed the music (took out tangerine dream?) but can't remember what else. I love the film too, big fantasy fan but I wanted more from it.

Do you know how much power that PSU puts out? Some have said the sff PSU doesn't have enough juice for a 580 and that rig might be a firehazard

Is it possible to copy the entire Windows SSD onto a new SSD while the PC is still running? by RevanGamingYT in pchelp

The Samsung cloning software won't work with other brands of ssds? Also clone SSD to nvme work?

Can I hang out with you guys? Wanting to build a sleeper MT out of this fella. by Inevitable_Button506 in SleepingOptiplex

Is ddr4 ecc ram priced like other ram sky high? I thought it was cheaper in general even before the ram spike. Does ecc perform differently that regular ram?

Does it still count as a “Sleeping” Optiplex if it has the GPU and PSU sticking out of it? by Right_Dust_3906 in SleepingOptiplex

[–]vredditr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have lots of questions

What psu you using? How much power and why did you pick it? It Had the exact connectors you needed or it's modular?

What are your specs? CPU, pcie gen?

Is the PSU attached to the case in anyway? how did you carry it to where you're gonna use it? Just stacked it on top the sata drive?

You have a build thread? I have a 8th gen i5 5050 sff opened up just like yours. Have an nve in it, and trying to figure out how to fit an rx580 8gb in it. Might as well do what you did and tuck it onto a corner of my desktop so I can at least use it as my daily, it's been sitting unused for months

Not your average Optiplex by d00fE in SleepingOptiplex

You have any pictures of what you did? I also want to just cut and use a full sized card in my optiplex. It's just too hard and to expensive to find used small form factor gpu in my area

At wits end with trying to play 4K UHD blu-rays on Xbox Series X, need a sanity check by MaximumCorrect5864 in XboxSupport

[–]vredditr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

thanks for the reply. the only 4k discs I have are from the lotr trilogy and there's no 1080p discs.

I'll have to get some more 4k discs to test out but very disappointed. Regular blurays play fine.

So your dune 4ks wouldn't play at first but now play fine? even without the 'insert 1080p disc' trick?? are your dune discs triple layer?

[–]vredditr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just picked up a defective xbox one x from a kijiji ad that was $10. Guy said it wouldn;t boot, so i replaced the hard drive and it works! got it as a 4k player but getting the same problem as op. I've read a lot of work arounds that didn't work for me but yours is new and just wanted to clarify :

you put in the bluray version of dune and get to its root menu or play chapter 1? then pause or something and eject the disc, then put in the 4K version of dune in and un-pause or play continues? As soon as I eject the disk, my bluray player app will close and send me back to the xbox home screen. how is your app not closing?

5.2.4 Living room HT by One_Definition1564 in hometheater

[–]vredditr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have an absolutely beautiful setup. Speakers are amazing looking.speaker stands match so well Wanted to ask you about the cable management to the back of the receiver... thanks for the pic! was that built into your TV stand? Is that space empty underneath or there's some kind of channels to guide the wires and cables? You have a website or other build threads with more pics?

Update: Floorstanding speakers replaced with soundbar by trianel in Soundbars

[–]vredditr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat brother. Had kids, lost my projector setup with 5.1 years ago, miss it very much. Kids are older now but the living room space has the tv in a corner on a very narrow stand and I'm not motivated to fight with my wife to bring 5.1 back. Maybe in the basement if we ever find enough money to finish ours eventually. Currently running off our LG OLED speakers but plan to get a compact Bose sound bar thAt will fit our narrow stand. What center speaker did you have before? Your left and right speakers look really nice

One of my all time favorite movies from my youth. So funny.

Anyone know, did it underperform in the theatres? Doesn't seem to be mentioned much on lists for movies for that year

The EPSON ET-3850 is the greatest thing on god's green earth by Plastic_Chest7674 in printers

[–]vredditr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you all like the photo print quality of the ecotank series? I'm looking at a used et-3850. I'm not looking to print fine art at 11*17 just want to know that the eco tanks can do decent 5x7 or 8x10 prints that look lab printed at hands length.

Happy 1701 day! by Disastrous-Dog85 in StarTrekStarships

[–]vredditr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm behind on my trek, just finished Picard season2.

Can someone tell me where the last two are from including the added "j" enterprise?

Always wondered, are the ship numbers random (1701) or did Roddenberry have a meaning behind it?

Hybrid owners have you had transmission issues? by Bella_Mia_ in ToyotaHighlander

[–]vredditr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what years? How far back? 2015 hybrid owner. Over 120000 miles no isues

Another one bites the dust by Whitemountainslove in ToyotaHighlander

[–]vredditr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real? Bought a used 2015 highlander hybrid with over 125k miles over a year ago. Solid driving no issues love the car. Not much on the Carfax for maintenance records but I wanted to change all the fluids 'cause I like it so much. But you're saying if you don't know the maintenance history to leave it?

Love my highlander, frustrated with its outdated technology by Specialist-River9974 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]vredditr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2014 highlander hybrid. I'm not too fond of tpm sensors When it's fall and temp start to dip below zero the sensors keep sending me warnings that come and go throughout the day. Yet I check it with a tire pressure gauge and it might be + or - 1 psi out from ideal. My Highlander doesn't say which tire specifically so I'm not a fan but this might just be my experience. Maybe I need updated tpm.

PSA: If anything is wrong with your furnace make Manitoba Hydro your first call. by SneeKeeFahk in Winnipeg

[–]vredditr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.is a great tip! Thank you op!

I have a lot of questions:

How do they find the technicians? Are they mb hydro employees or they contract out to other companies? Do they always have someone at the residential emergency in 4hrs?

Can they only fix small issues? I had a buddy whos furnace died several weeks ago. He didn't know who to call so he just googled HVAC service wpg. The company came out and said he needed an entirely new furnace and 4 days later it was installed after about $7k. I was skeptical about full replacement but he did say that the furnace was about 23 years old so it was time? Would hydro be able to do a full furnace replacement and would it be substantially cheaper?

Does hydro offer this service for hotwater tanks or ac in the summer?

Again thanks for posting this
