If it hasn't damaged the paint, it's probably fixable, it always impresses me what PDR guys can achieve.

I need to play with my PDR tools. I had a "professional" come out a couple weeks ago to work on a big dent in the tailgate of my Envoy. To say he was bad is not in the realm of properly communicating his skill.

He spent three hours "working" on the car... but he never brought out the sticks, he worked entirely with glue tabs and knockdown tools. You cannot do PDR entirely with glue tabs and knockdown tools.

I didn't know how to get him out of my garage, but I finally did. He didn't want to take money since I wasn't happy (he wasn't either, it is obviously munged... it doesn't look as bad as it did originally, but he broke the paint in a couple places, so it's actually worse). I gave him $60 because he's just starting out and I didn't want to shaft him, but drat, he did a crap job.

Yea I dont either. When I told my other childhood friend and my sister they were super surprised. The dude Im interested in you can definitely tell, like from a mile away. If anything happens with him there wont be any hiding it anymore if I were to bring him around my friends so I figured Id tell them first and get it out of the way.

Eh, there isn't a good stereotypical look. When I was growing up, one of my dad's best friends was a gay dude. Worked in the rail yard, drove muscle cars, had a Harley (well...some stereotypes are true I guess) and basically no one except my dad knew.

Then again, he's from a different generation. When my parents first met him (late 60s) he dated women just to cover it.

Now he's married to the same guy he lived with when I was a kid 20 years ago.

Same here. Most of my parents friends that were gay guys were no different and sometimes did way manliest poo poo than the straight dudes. Lumberjacks and saw mill workers, firefighters, all that rural Oregon stuff. It wasn't until I moved to the Palm Springs area that I met any of the stereotypical gay guys with lisps and the hand gestures. Now I ride a Harley with a bunch of lesbians. It's fun. Going to ride with them next year at the pride parade instead of walk.

A) Drivers, if A doesn't work, B) Delete the hardware from the device manager and reboot. Let the machine find the wifi card and set it up, if B doesn't work, C)Use a throwaway wifi card as a test.

If you're going to do a clean install might as well do a clean install of 10. If windows currently shows activated your hardware is already flagged by Microsoft for future activations as long as you retain your system board. I had a botched upgrade from 7 to 10 and all of the problems disappeared with the clean install.

How do you go about doing a clean Win 10 install with just a Win 7 disc?

Grr



Its most likely to just be a driver issue in my experience.

Is your wireless card showing up in device manager? Is it showing up as a working device? with a warning? or as an unknown device?

If its is showing up as a working device then uninstall it from device manager and tick the remove the driver checkbox, and reinstall it using a different downloaded driver. Repeat this and work through a couple of different driver options.

I found quite a few devices in the old laptops i have windows 10'd that needed an old version of the windows 7 driver installing to work..

Download the W10 media creation tool, it will download necessary files and create a bootable USB thumb drive. When you run it select "create media for installation on another PC." When prompted for a key during installation skip the step, it will self activate later without a key.

I can't stand missmatched screens. i've been searching for a third that matches my pair. when i bought my screens i paid i think $550 a piece. now that they're out of production, they're $1500 new, $1000 used, and $500 with stuck pixels or backlight bleed. and that's all USD so they're like $6,000 canadian at this point.

Samsung 245BW (24" 1200p TN), Philips BDM4065UC (40" 4K VA), and Samsung S27D390 (27" 1080p PLS). The 24" was pricey when new and was pretty drat high-end when I got it and the 27" was dirt CHEAP, the 40" was on a pretty good sale for Black Friday so I picked it up from BB.

Mismatched screens does kinda irk me but I'm getting used to it, and I'm not dropping $Texas$ to get matching screens especially if my main one is 40". I've got them setup to be kinda close-ish colour/brightness wise, but there's only so much you can do eyeballing without a spectrometer and with 3 vastly different screens. In all honesty the two screens are the side are most likely to be used for playing a movie while studying, and displaying sources/spec sheets/ whatever.

Ouch with that mouse, I guess just don't break it ever?

Since 4K gaming is out of the question at the moment, I'll probably use one of the side screens at their native res and get decent framerates. Anybody got any tips for forcing games on a secondary or tertiary monitor? Googling isn't showing any elegant solutions. So far it seems like I"ll have to set one of them to the primary screen (which means apps open on them by default and other annoyances). Using windows key + P to set to projector only doesn't let me decide which screen it'll go to, seems to always to go to #2. Can you reorder the monitors in windows easily?

It breaks all the god drat time :negative:

It's usually the receiver that burns out. it's just unbelievably comfortable and so easy to be precise because you have 2 fingers on the ball, and you only use your index finger for the scroll wheel.

It's the greatest mouse ever made, but it's logitech so the build quality is garbage. Unfortunately, they realized they could poo poo in a box and sell it for $60 because they've roped stores into only carrying their product, so they don't even bother putting that much effort into it these days. Now they're just reboxing old yellowed ball mice and selling them for $60 because gently caress you.

I hear stories of people's workplaces throwing them out because nobody likes them, and that hurts my heart.

e: 4k is 4x 1080p, so if your card can't handle 4k, just play at 1080p on the main monitor with a little AA and it should look better than playing on the other monitors. both of mine are 1440p, so i just rock full res all the time.

That was the original plan but my wife just started playing Fable and she's been complaining about not knowing where to look on the screen for info so I'm trying to get it to run on one of the smaller screens. 10 year old game so the graphics aren't exactly groundbreaking. It's also been a pain in the rear end since it doesn't support running in windowed mode. Surprisingly enough it will run in 4k, but the framerate just drops to like 10fps when you move your character at all (Yay 2GB of memory on the graphics card), plus the textures aren't high res so there really isn't that much of a point over 1080p for this particular game.

And do people seriously pay $800+ for those mice, or is that just a bunch of people hoping for a sucker? Quick look at eBay showed quite a few north of $300 as well. Was looking for a peripherals not that long ago and it seems like nobody has a decent offering. Everything is either really basic, or it's filled with blue LED's and a shitton of extra buttons for GAMERZ. gently caress buying mice and keyboards, they all suck now.

Try hitting alt+enter. a lot of games without a windowed option in the graphics menu still go to windowed when you hit alt+enter.

Looking at the completed listings, a lot do go for over $300. it just ain't right.

I have 3 x 27" 1080p, but I apparently hate money, so I'm seriously considering a Acer Predator X34 to replace the center one. It's one of the few 34" ultra-wides that support G-Sync so should be pretty awesome to play games on now that I've got the horsepower to drive a beast like that.
