re: The Three-Body Problem
Posted by polizei11 on 3/6/24 at 1:12 pm
I am halfway through The Dark Forest. I'm listening through audible which makes it somewhat difficult to keep track of characters with Chinese names but they do a good job with the different voices.
It is such a interesting world and concept about alien contact. I am hooked. It ramps up and ju...

re: Permanent LED soffit lights?
Posted by polizei11 on 10/17/23 at 1:29 pm
I had Gemstone Lights installed on the front of my house. It was $3,600 here in Houston. I got a $600 discount for being offpeak season (It was September). The family loves the lights. I have them set for Sunset to Sunrise and Halloween theme right now. They installed and set everything up in a...
re: Starfield Info/Discussion Thread
Posted by polizei11 on 9/6/23 at 8:19 am
I'm level 32 in about 30 hours. I cruised through the UC and Freestar quest lines. The UC one takes quite a long time.
The only truly difficult part was a ship battle for me so far. Once you figure out how to fight ship to ship, it gets much easier.
If you are trying to level Piloting up ...

$10 off both versions at Newegg for both Steam and Windows/Xbox preorders. Use code SAVEXDPP at check-out.

re: I cannot figure out my dual monitor problem
Posted by polizei11 on 7/20/23 at 10:49 am
Connect your laptop directly to the 4k Monoprice monitor via usb-c and the 2k Aorus via HDMI to rule out docking station issues. The 5490 seems to be the limiting factor as the USB-C can handle 1 4k 60 Hz display. I would think the addition of the 2nd monitor using the same USB-C port is downscali...
re: I messed up - how long to stick with a new job you don't want?
Posted by polizei11 on 7/10/23 at 8:43 pm
Can you move to back to DW with your current company? I would assume you are with CVX based on you talking about a major. I left them awhile back and haven’t looked back.
I would leave asap and have your reasons ready for the inevitable question about it. ...
re: hows att fiber?
Posted by polizei11 on 5/2/23 at 10:35 am
I have 2 Gbps ATT Fiber and have not had it go out once in a year. I generally have 2.25-2.5 Gbps on speedtest.
Just be aware of hardware limitations above 1 Gbps if you go that route. I have a multi-gig set up but it was not cheap. Happy to provide more details! :cheers:...

I'm still playing and preparing for the Brimstone Sands release in a few weeks. Happy to answer any questions about it.
Game was a mess at launch and has been steadily improving. It is a much different game now than most of the experience posted in this thread. It still has some issues but is ...

re: AT&T Fiber stop working over wireless one day when using BGW 210 gateway in IP Passthrough
Posted by polizei11 on 8/23/22 at 9:22 am
I have ATT Fiber with the BGW 320 in IP Passthrough mode to a GT-AXE16000. The GT-AXE16000 then branches off to 2 ZenWifi Pro ET12s in wired backhaul mode. I have had zero issues with both wired and wireless connections since install with 2 Gbps fiber. I typically clock at ~2.4 Gbps.

Tons of jobs in upstream being posted in Houston right now. I definitely think the new grads over the past 5 or so years have been hit hard but, if you have some experience, you are fine. There will be a deficit of PEs due to the social pressure on O&G as well as the Covid downturn hurting interes...

I initiated a charge back on the 3080 I ordered from him after he went MIA for a week (still haven't heard from him).
In other news, Newegg shuffle going on right now for 3050s. I expect a BestBuy drop today as well. I'm going to try for a 3090 Ti because why not. :lol:...

Definitely a power issue. I'd swap PCI-E cables too if you are sure the cable is securely plugged in.
Of course Best Buy changes up the schedule with a Wednesday lunch drop right when I leave my PC......

Posted by polizei11 on 1/5/22 at 11:29 am
First, what is your setup? Pic would be beneficial as well.
Is the GPU an upgrade or is this a new build?
Graphics drivers fully updated? Did you get the code before or after updating the drivers?
Is your card properly installed? Check the PCI-E connectors on both the GPU and PSU as wel...
