it took him almost 3 years to work out how to use the Samsung link think on his tv smart tv not webos
teamviewer works for everyone, re: i was able to guide my mother through setup
you can remote access him from whatever system then too (even mobile you need for some idiotic reason)
dxdiag is built into system, assuming he has windows
also you can tell him to gently caress off if he tries to climb on your head, unless he owes you money/favour ir gives those away without obligations

is there an actualy non-terrible discrete sound card for computers with non-terrible drivers? i got a cheap xonar dg? dx? because the onboard card made a buzzing sound in my headphones but the xonar broke rocksmith 2014 and it doesn't consistently switch between rear panel speakers and front panel headphones when i plug the headphones in

I have one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102054 and the drivers aren't terrible. when i went looking at the xonars, there were third-party drivers and i read through the poo poo they were trying to fix and gently caress that.

do you have optical or coaxial spdif out? you could get a cheap DAC and use that

also USB DACs are a fine choice

Hopefully this helps someone out because it has been driving me crazy. In Outlook 2013 with both imap accounts I was getting this super irritating behavior where I would mark an item as read, and out of nowhere it would cycle back and generally act super slow and lovely. Cleared out the outlook profile, re-added, same behavior. I lived with it for a couple months before I noticed that on the imap accounts in the lower left corner of the window there was this little FILTER APPLIED button down there. Clicked on it, found out that outlook is creating a default filter to hide marked messages on all imap accounts. Cleared out the filter, everything works fine now. Thanks a loving lot, MichaelSoft.

I'm prob. going to wait until the 8GB GTX cards come out for my :pcgaming: 4K experience, so none of the above is set in stone.

Answering myself: Those boards only work with ECC RAM with a Xeon proc, so no dice :mad:

what's a modern program for PC hardware burn in testing? not just CPU/RAM like overclock stability testing but video, hard drive, etc. I think something in my computer is going bad but I can't figure out what.

EMILY BLUNTS

it really probably is the CPU or the RAM. Intel makes a CPU stress tester that will probably touch some memory

going to name some things to blame: power, stuffed up heatsink, fried up memory

the rest tends to go in obvious ways (polygons or pixels in video, all of the data missing, etc)

I have a thing for courageous dongles

anyone have experience with these half-height PCIe to PCI adapter cards? I got a vendor that's trying to turn a garbage optiplex desktop in to a server because they need a PCI slot and I'm not too keen on that. looking at one of these

reviews sound bad
compatibilty is seriously questionable
and if all that works out you're still using an optiplex as anything but a book-end

I'd throw it in an R320 so I can actually monitor and keep the thing up. Its so stupidly cheap that I might as well give it a try to see if it works, the bad reviews are mostly coming from people who don't know what a half-height card means.

e: the vendor is also trying to me charge $5,000 for that optiplex that's worth $750
