My folks have always had Bosch (early 90s and early 00s) throughout my life, and that was always my go-to place to set stuff because I often forget to get a hot plate out first... Gas ranges and lovely coil ranges also have no problem... I confuse. The stove was fine. The dish exploded.

I like my older storage set better - but my new sets (2011-13) aren't much different, same thickness, etc. I have set many of them on my folks glass top without issues, both 15yr+ old ones and new (2011-13) ones... Was your Pyrex previously damaged or dropped??

I'm looking at getting a new chromebook pixel and slapping ubuntu or mint on it for a more portable machine. But this does just fine for my needs. I have an i5-4670k/GTX970/16GB/850Pro desktop for max gaming, the laptop is my general usage machine.

My laptop weighs in at around 10.5 lbs, and I get about 4 hours battery life if I turn down the graphics card. About an hour and a half with graphics maxed. http://valid.x86.fr/dwarf6  I got this thing because it has quite a few graphics card upgrade options, including a few non-OEM options, and four RAM slots.

What happened is a lot of high end laptops switched to DDR3L RAM, which runs at 1.35 versus 1.5v of DDR3 standard, allowing the CPU to go into low power draw cycles to preserve battery. There's been significant gains in power consumption of even high end machines thanks to this. It also makes the RAM compatibility a pain. I went through 4 different manufacturers when I upgraded to find one compatible with proper DDR3L

It struck another PC that auto-rebooted after installing Windows Updates on Thursday, one that's not used often (it wakes up on its own to install updates and update the TV listings, but otherwise it stays hibernated unless someone's watching TV in there). That one just couldn't load LoginUI.exe, but since it had just installed updates, rolling it back to the night before via System Restore fixed it. Couldn't even get into it via safe mode.  My desktop is still acting kind of goofy, I might see if System Restore can roll it back to about a week ago. Slow is Fast posted:This fresh OS and SSD Pretty sweet isn't it? I went to SSD on my desktop about.. 6? months ago, and it's just smoking quick. I get frustrated using anything else, even my brand new i5 laptop.

I really just need to get another desktop to tinker with (.. on top of the 3 I already own), that or just move all the TV/DVR stuff to a dedicated PC and install Server on this one.

I have no idea if my laptop uses DDR3L, but it has a laughably small (physically) battery, and yet I've gotten 5 hours out of a charge more than once.  Granted, I had turned the brightness way down, but that used to be low end netbook territory not THAT long ago.It's an i5 with 8GB of DDR3, onboard video, 500GB HDD.

mattfl posted:WTF is going on with Sears? I'm working on my Jeep this morning to replace a gasket between the exhaust manifold and the engine that I'm almost 99% sure if where my exhaust leak is coming from and I find that I'm one tool short to being able to get it off. There's one last bolt in a really tight spot and I need a 10mm flex head wrench. Call up my buddy to see if he's got one, nope, but he'll run over to sears for me and pick one up. He gets there and sends me this Seriouschat : A Randian rear end in a top hat hedge fund manager took over as CEO, and essentially declared Lord of the Flies style free-market deathmatches for the executives because he was merging Sears and K-mart and obsoleting half their positions. He has since pushed the company to further 'streamline' operations by not maintaining or updating properties, mass closing stores, and in general running that poo poo into the ground. Their stock is tanking like mad.

some texas redneck posted:My desktop is still acting kind of goofy, I might see if System Restore can roll it back to about a week ago. Just did that, which also caused Panda to get reinstalled. As soon as it booted up, Panda started eating itself again, to the point that I couldn't even uninstall it through the normal add/remove programs panel (got an error stating that Panda doesn't support my OS ). Snagged an uninstaller tool from Panda's website, rebooted, installed BitDefender, rebooted. All's well now, except last week's updates need to be reinstalled.Now to try and get some sleep, supposed to be in Denton at 9:15 tomorrow (a little under 6 1/2 hours from now).  Might do the 11:30 service instead, but most of the people I know go to the 9:30.

Also, today (yesterday?) I completely obliterated the rear hatch of a (rental, thank loving GOD) VW TDI hatchback while in the ambulance. Don't brake check a loving ambulance. Because an ambulance weighs like seven loving tons. Long story short, I didn't even get a citation, due to the officer "exercising some professional courtesy." I did have to piss in a bottle, which is expected, but it's cool because I do literally nothing except for alcohol every five or six weeks. The only damage to the E350 ambo was some plastic scrapes on the bottom of the front bumper.

SiGmA_X posted:After googling when the changeover occured (1998ish), I am shocked at my luck. I am never lucky with things like that (things breaking), and I have definitely 'abused' my pyrex with temp changes... At my work we did some thermal shocking of several small cheap Pyrex bowls from Walmart where we put them in a hot oven and then tossed them into an icewater bath. I don't remember what temperature the oven was at (maybe 70C), but none of them shattered after repeated tests. If they were scuffed, scratched, and well used the results may have been different, but whatever processing they do to the glass seems to work pretty well.
