The Back-UPS RS 900G there might require a replacement battery, however no warnings from the UPS monitor software. Could also be touching on the threshold of insufficient voltage as the PC was tested on another AC outlet. As is often the case out in the boondocks, the waveforms of the current can be a bit blocky, and the PSU itself is as old as…[Read more]

That’s odd, is it just a standard sugar syrup like the one here? Of course it would make sense if it were for just one sponge section, was a particular filling recommended for it? She also welcomes questions. 🙂
Lovely, any recipes in mind? Wikihow covers the basics rather well. 🙂

Metric over here, so Attack of the 15.24 Woman. 😛
Anything from the Little Shop of Nuclear Plant Horrors is sure to take one off-piste, even if you happen to be a script writer for the film!
Kill the Messenger was on again, do remember seeing at least a part of it before, funny how the guy in real life was found shot in the head twice, explained…[Read more]

Ooh, you have a neon sign? Don’t have Blockbuster over here so a sign like this might look out of place. 😛

The following would be a worthy addition to a shopfront – or even a residence, even if it adds a little to light pollution.

Put White Heat on the list, it’s a classic!

Saw Poultrygeist some years ago, memories of fun but copious amounts of eggsplosive diarrhea were insufficient to warrant a second viewing. Love the Troma titles:

• Poultry in Motion: Truth Is Stranger Than Chicken
• Vegas in Space
• A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell
• Dolphinman Battles the Sex…

The activity on Dostips has slowed down over time, no doubt due to being less a part of the Windows boot process than it was back in the day, except when it comes to dual booting. List C for preboot file management is sure to help. 🙂
The bugbear of youtube video restricted countries has resurfaced, fairly sure its doable here, so on the to-do…[Read more]

There’s also Windows PE, handy if you want to fix the Windows first. GRUB is certainly an option, here’s a guide on the UEFI usage. 🙂

Those are fine, what there is from the horse’s mouth is next to useless:

Visual BCDEdit would be terrific if it could show gui forms when run from a recovery disk, indeed something like XTGold from early DOS would be a blast. 😛

A good idea might have been a sister site, STI@Home, the search for terrestrial intelligence. At this moment, as well as other moments past and present, Computational Biology looks to be beyond mine, curiously the timeline chart of the Genome project ends abruptly at 2003.
Krypton? Sure to contain a wormhole teleporter to the planet itself, it’s…[Read more]

Hope this all works out with minimum fuss. Glad to have Support on board, they should pitch in with something solid. All that could be trawled from Bing was this:

Something about the Dirk Gently series that cam off a little flat perhaps, perhaps little Red Dwarf corn for a lift. The book is certainly on the list, in fact someone from Goodreads said:

And a good knowledge of the content and historical context of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Kubla Khan and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is essentially required…

Is there a chance you can access the drive from Linux in a VM from Windows? At the very least one could grab the config files.
Oh, dust is fine as long as it’s not disturbed, we being the perpetrators of the disturbance, and the dust containing atoms of our peaceful ancestors. 😛

The old Skyrim unit came back from the repairer still with the beeps on boot up. Changed leads, connections, no improvement, so returned it to the repairer and it booted up beautifully. We agreed there was something amiss with the power back at the ranch, the first suspect off the rank being the (not so) old batteries in the UPS.
On the Ob…[Read more]

Good news, minus the excess euphoria, then. Will the ticket be updated?
Ah yes, sorry, looks like the PCIe 3 x1 is the best shot, will have to check the card though.
The unit has no wifi, which

Expansion slots 1 M.2 2230; 2 PCIe 3 x1; 1 PCIe 3 x16 (wired as x4); 2 M.2 2280; 1 PCIe 4 x16 (1 M.2 2230 slot for WLAN and 2 M.2 2280 slots for…

They’re probably validum, wonderful looking plants, over here we call that kind of thing bush tucker. Growing down the gully here is stinging nettle, from which the dried leaves are added to tea for health boost. Have some of it growing in pots, too.

Fair enough, there’s definitely a sense they have a good track record on tickets so far, something of this nature should not pose too much of an obstacle for their illustrious techos. 🙂
The most off-putting stage of the W11 installation through Update Assistant was during the 80% – 99% stage, when W10 had expired and greyed out the pause button o…[Read more]

No mouse either?
Someone from Reddit suggested EasyUEFI as a solution, they do offer a free trial, wonder if things break as soon as it expires. 😛
Lawk a mussy, issues with the new HP already. First, the description had an external optical/DVD burner drive which was not included. They are sending one through, but it’s a wait, and they have…[Read more]

Heh, this next merry go round with the Ob machine was in a way, partially attributed to the cat.
Booted up the machine today, knowing everything was fine upon the startup up bell coming through loud and clear from outside the dwelling. Great! Some time later, in pulling up a video, instead of the usual blast of sound from the SBZ, there was rather…[Read more]
