  • Thanks. Good call I should try and take a better look at how the system runs while gaming. Not NVMe but am running ssd for storage. While try and figure out the best way to check on performance while gaming and see what I get back.

  • Help with next upgrade

    Have been building up this PC over the past couple years. Runs well but am trying to figure out what the best upgrade would be at this point. My guess is memory, but I’m not sure. Budget is flexible but would like to stay under $300. Thanks!

    edit to clarify this is a gaming rig

    apnews.com February retail sales up 0.6%, yet fissures emerge in what has been a driving force for US economy

    American shoppers picked up their spending a bit in February after pulling back the previous month. But last month’s gain was weaker than expected, and January’s decline was revised even lower, suggesting that consumers are becoming more cautious.

In this example local access wasn’t yet an option. This was a few years ago though, and I’ll stop bringing this up as a gap since it no longer applies.

    Is this wiring run ok?

    Finagled my way into the attic to explore a bit. Found this wiring run that basically lays on the sheet rock with insulation sitting on top. It goes to a light switch that controls three of this thin led recessed lights. Could this get really hot and start a fire with the insulation on top?

    edit: breathing easier now. Sounds like this is normal stuff. Thanks for the help!

    Problems adding new lutron caseta dimmer

    Getting frustrated with Lutron’s documentation and links to non-existing pages. I’be got lots of Caseta stuff in the house already but this new summer just won’t go with the flow. Switch and lights work fine. Wireless signal strong. I’ve even reset the switch. All I get though after the -0-second hold to go through the pairing process, is a slow-blinking top led. None of the support stuff covers this example.

    I will say that this is the first switch to get installed on the second floor, and the hub is in the basement. Is it too far away? Is that a thing still (not sure if thread and all that is in play here.)

    Thanks for the help.

    edit: I suspect it is a range issue. My one Caseta hub is at the opposite end of the house. I have a repeater on order and will update this with results.

    Help repairing crumbling steps

    I’m not sure what material or style these steps are, but they’ve started crumbling after water got into a crack and froze during the winter. It seems to be getting worse and I’m wondering how to address it. Is this something that can be patched or do I need to remove all this material and start over?

    Help with styling

    I seem to have done something that is preventing the sidebars from following any themes I’m using (Nord in this pic.) After going through every setting I can think of, I’m hoping someone here can help point me in the right direction to get these sidebars “unstuck” from being a black back ground.

    [request] Strip where calvin keeps waking up from dream and free-falling when getting off the bed

    Do we take requests here? :)

    Pretty much the title. I have a childhood memory of a strip where Calvin wakes up from a dream. Upon hopping out of bed he begins free-falling and startles awake… from a dream. This repeats to a point where when his mom calls him down for breakfast he’s absolutely fraught about getting out of the bed.

    Anyone able to post or know approximate publication date? I have the large 3-book collection and I periodically browse through it but have had no luck finding it.

    How to close out homekit video feed

    Helping kick off this sub…. err community with what I’m hoping is a softball question. We have our homekit cameras configured to show up on our tv when motion is detected. It pops up in the top right corner and we really like the feature. However, while it will eventually go away, it takes longer than I would like. I’ve tried a variety of buttons on the remote to clear it but haven’t had any luck.

    Anyone happen to know?

    Help! Where do I begin?

    My kids have watched anime for years, but I recently learned that their favorite is Scout Regiment. I’ve never followed any of this before and I’m trying to figure out the best way I can try and learn more (search results are overwhelming!) so I can randomly drop some comments that catch them by surprise.

    Can anyone give a noob some pointers?

    edit: So much love here. Thanks for all the feedback. I’m diving in… wish me luck.

    Quality father / son time

    Birthday boy got a descent upgrade for his PC. Moved from a Ryzen 3 3200G to a R7 5800x. Ditched the onboard video and installed an 3060Ti. He also took the reigns and did the hardware swap entirely on his own.

    Weather stations

    Anyone have hands on experience with a reputable weather station? I’ve used Ambient Weather hardware in the past but wonder if there’s something similar that would be available in HomeKit.

    2020-2022 Jeep Wrangler Jeep Performance Parts 2" Lift Kit 77072399AG

    Wondering if anyone has experience with this kit, I'm not finding much online so far. We've been looking at lift kits for a little while now and have heard about concerns with the heavier engine weight for diesels and how some kits may not be accounting for that. Wondering if the Mopar offering would be good enough. This is our daily and we don't do anything crazy, but would like to get a little more clearance.

    Brocks recovery has been amazing to read about. Hoping he continues to get better at this pace.
