What kind of lovely bank is this? I'm the treasurer for a condo association and all the members give me checks for the dues. They like to have a paper receipt that I got the thing.

I'm sure I read about someone making a fortune after the Berlin wall came down buying up obsolete soviet electronics and melting then down for the high gold content compared to "modern" equipment. I told a guy I'll send them to him for $20, which I'm fine with. Been sitting in a box for drat near 20 years so.

Speaking of wastes of money, maybe one of you can tell me this - building a new house and the choice of cat5e vs cat6. The installer wants an extra $500 for cat6, does it even matter?

I'm building around a 1800 sq foot house, and to put in cat5e with a 12 port punch down block with 1 ethernet port to each bedroom is currently $500. Having ethernet run to behind where the TV is going as well.

Yermaw Zahoor posted:That sounds ok, but the guy is either buying his cat6 from the wrong place , or he's ripping you off. Maybe ask if you can supply the cable, or just suggest a cheaper supplier to him. I think it's been a set price for the guy for the last 6 years, so he never changed it. It's actually done very well, with a cabinet and everything. I looked at other houses he's done it to. I'm pretty sure he quoted me the extra cause he's never purchased cat6 before. Good call with asking if I buy a spool and see if he can just do it.

Collateral Damage posted:When I was in grade school I remember we got to watch presentations that were pictures shown by a slide projector accompanied by a soundtrack that came on reel. The teacher had a "portable" reel to reel player that she'd haul out and set up on the desk, and the sound track would have a beep or ding sound to signal that it was time to change slide. How was the 1960s?

Honestly, if you are an HP shop, find an HP partner that will do repair work. We have a local company that is an HP partner and any time I have any sort of warranty issue, be that laptop, server, or desktop, I send them an email and they fix it ASAP. poo poo, they come and pick up the laptop and or workstation to fix. Doesn't cost me a dime.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm 32 and have a decent CD collection still, which I still listen to but only in my car. USB tech still isn't very good for sorting and playing only specific folders (as if each folder was a CD). Of course I tend to just use Pandora off my phone connected to my car via Bluetooth.

The laptops we buy at work, especially for our field sales, haven't had optical drives in years. So of course last year HR burnt like 50 disks and sent them to all the field dudes and threw a fit when we told them they didn't have anything to play them on.

The majority of the new HP laptops don't have an ethernet port either. They give you a dongle that connects to the laptops docking station port. Hell, the HP event I went to last month, their thinnest laptops don't even have a docking station port, they were pushing wireless docks.

I borrow graphic novels from the library all the drat time. gently caress paying $15 or $30 for the new Epic book, just borrow, read and return. I've read so many of them that way. Got into some stuff I wouldn't have considered before, such as the new Ms. Marvel.
