  1. You're basically one step away from being a cam girl.
  2. I think I've gotten myself into the awkward position of not even sure I'm making/saving enough money to be able to move to a new job even if I wanted.
  3. My favorite deodorant was basically just a block of salt, idk what kind or what the brand was or whatever. But no antiperspirant qualities to that. So not very good for active use.
  4. Oh. I've already settled, bought, and received. It's been an adjustment. (seriously, who puts speakers on the bottom front of a laptop? tch. I mean, I guess they didn't have much room with the big cooling system, but still.) Mostly been a process of making Windows 10 less of a bother. I'll get used to it, I'm sure. But I'm still dimly hopeful that my last ditch effort could fix the old laptop. I'd love to keep it active, if for nothing other than music storage and watching dvds (no optical in the new one). But, referring back to previous post, I've had trouble finding the wiring connector between the dc power board and the main motherboard. Truth be told, I doubt that's the problem, it's probably something on the mb rendering it useless, but the part should be cheap enough that it'd be worth trying. The alternative is going to be having to buy an external cd drive for when I watch something or buy new music.
  5. Much as I would've loved to (depending on price points), going that long without a computer would be entirely too detrimental.
  6. I sure hope so. First youtube vid I watched on a new laptop, and couldn't watch in HD at all without buffer stutter.
  7. If you happen to know, for an MSI, is there any easy way, without installing an extra, to turn off the display? I can open up an SCM program, and that has the option there, but it turns back on instantly on key press or mouse movement (which is good, since there'd be no other way). I can set this P1 button to open up the SCM program, but still doesn't accomplish the task. I use my laptop for some alarms, and it's nice to just turn the display off at night. So it'd be nice if I could leave the alarms as the active window, so opening that SCM program hinders that, and closing the lid is out (especially considering laptop hinges are never able to stand up to daily opening/closing for years). Previous Asus, no problem, display off/on was a Fn key. This is bothersome.
  8. Ok, so new board didn't fix it. Same lack of response. Next troubleshoot might be trying to find a new wire assembly, that connects the dc board to the main board. Maybe wires came loose or something, keeping the power from getting anywhere. Question for thread is, could anyone maybe point me somewhere to find? This is I think what I need, but can't seem to find it for sale, except maybe bundled with the board I already have.
  9. I'd make an attempt, but, McDonald's, plus, I'd rather avoid the hype.
  10. You must be thinking of Majora's Mask. Easy mistake.
  11. I thought Seasons was better.
  12. Shouldn't cpu speed be taken into consideration here? I mean, I'm sure you'll get something decent in that range regardless. But still worth watching out for something that looks good but it's running at 1.7GHz or something. But I don't necessarily know what I'm talking about.
  13. Precautionary. Or prescription happy. People would stop getting checked if they were hit with antiviral prices.
  14. He's been stiff for years.
  15. Most people grow out of these "epiphanies" by your age.
  16. Yeah. Looking forward to that, too. I've even seen some that have ssd and a slot for hdd, which might be useful for the drive I cannibalised out of my last laptop. Thanks for the opinion. I figure worst case, just out a little bit if the power board isn't a fix; best case, I end up with a backup computer. Maybe I'll use it just for music or something. Might actually be nice if new one doesn't have an optical drive.
  17. Yeah. Was thinking that. The power jack board is pretty small/cheap. Doesn't even need soldering, unless the disconnect is after that board connects to the mb. Guide I followed to get to the part, for reference. Probably will end up getting something new anyway. Don't think I want to be without computer until I troubleshoot all I can.
  18. Well yeah. But, convenience factor. If I could build a tower that allowed me to use it without being stuck to the desk, I would. But the whole lightweight monitor/keyboard setup seems elusive. I would love having the form factor with actual power. Coincidentally, couple models I'm looking at are Asus and MSI.
  19. Well this place looks active. But for a last ditch effort/opinion, here goes. Laptop, Asus, N53JQ. Problem: suddenly shut down, does not power on, not even an led indicating it's getting power. Usually runs plugged in without battery, not a battery problem. Have no means of testing the power supply, but it was replaced only a couple years ago, seems unlikely to have developed an instantly fatal error. Expecting it to be a motherboard problem. Seems a common cause of death in laptops. So yeah, expecting this to be a brick situation, had started looking at new laptops anyway. But, question I have is, could this possibly be solved by replacing the dc power jack instead? Or is the problem likely deeper than that on the board itself? Disassembled the rig easy enough, finding and replacing that part seems doable, if I haven't ruined anything else in the process. But if that doesn't do what I'm thinking it does, would be a waste if there's no likely chance of revival.
  20. He is. I'll own up to that. I wouda said I'm just here for shitposting, same as everyone, but then the circle of hypocrisy just keeps on turning. 3 or 4.
  21. What topic? The last dozen posts or so are just trying to smear that turd over every surface.
  22. Don't you people ever get tired of spreading so much shit all over the walls?
  23. The old fashioned way, dammit! With lots of yelling, flashbacks, dragging the good fights out into tedium, and drivers ed filler.
  24. Being written by different people doesn't stop anyone from believing Event Horizon was a prequel to the Warhammer 40k universe.
  25. Ok, seriously, though, what is up with this show and all the fluff? Feels like every episode, there's some chunk that just doesn't contribute anything to anything. The entire first fight in this was just a throwaway (lolpun). Every week, seems like writers just needed to pad things out.
