Welp got the new PC together and Mint working. Got most files moved over and the few apps (Cura for 3d printing) working. So far so good just slow going having to learn linux from scratch. Granted its way easier now that it would have been 15 years ago.

This is my first post from the new PC.

Good things to know about that ram timing and bios updates.

I was going to go with Mint to start out and see how that goes.

A few other people mentioned the CPU so I will get the X3d version of it. its under 200 dollars more that the standard X. Again Im willing to spend more now to make this last longer later. Are there any big jumps like ddr6 or anything else that would obsolete this rig quickly? Probbly get parts this...

Welp... Steam finally stopped working on my win7 PC last month. Think its time for an upgrade. This computer is running DDR2 and a AMD Bulldozer. Going Linux this time around as I don't want to deal with windows and instead spend the time and effort I would de-bloating windows to learn LINUX. Looks ...

Yeah me too it would make it a easy choice.

Still running W7 but it is finally time to upgrade. Haven't been able to play TF2 since the halloween update. I think Im going to keep that W7 computer whole and build something from scratch and make the dive into Linux.

Struts and shocks normally don't cause tire wear. Ball joints and bushings and tierods will cause that. I guess if the top rubber bussing on the strut is worn out it can cause some minor alignment issue.

Welp that's the final nail in the coffin for me. When I get around to building my next PC it will be LINUX.

There has to be a app for that. Why its not built in is beyond me.

I never use my phone for a flashlight as I wear carpenter jeans all the time and keep a Nitecore mh12 flashlight in my leg pocket and just use it.

I don,t remember if it was here or somewhere else watching a thing about ski lifts and how they are a class of people mover that some how has less safety regulations then say elevators or escalators have as far as inspections.

I used to be the same until I saw the power usage of some of my older PCs. But I hate change too.

Ever hear of PLEX? I have seen people running it on a PI. You can have your own media server too.

Just had a friend contact me looking for a card game(s) for a windows PC. He has a win7 machine that is kept off line that he is looking for some sort of thing that has multiple card games in it. I don't know if such a thing even existed but this is what he is looking for and I am at a loss as to wh...
