Guess WHAT this is, and WHERE it is. Answers below first pic. It's a bug, and it's INSIDE my friggen monitor. F-me. I just went from a pixel perfect 43" monitor to a "10 dead pixel" spot. So I was just surfing the web and saw a tiny bug/gnat moving on my monitor and attempted to wipe...

MUCH THANKS in advance for reading this long mess of a post. tl;dr: I F'ed up. Got UN-F'ed. Error happened. Error went away. Discovered something new. Confused as usual. Questions. ----- I goofed again. So it's another pain-in-the-ass, frustrating, confusing night. I have two "users"...

Merry Christmas 2019 and Happy New Year 2020. I'm taking mom over to my Niece's house for an early, 10-11 A.M. Christmas Brunch. What, if anything, is everybody else doing? Again, Merry Christmas 2019 and Happy New Year 2020.

First of all: 1) I'm no audiophile; 2) my DAP and headphones don't warrant any "quality" EAC ripping; and 3) I'm lazy and just need a basic CD-to-.MP3 rip. So I'm just using FreeRIP with everything default. I came across a CD that FreeRIP doesn't automagically obtain the track names/metadata...

Title. /rant incoming I've never been on a forum with a search function that wasn't utter shit. SD posted a while back about a nice portable music player. I think he said it shipped from China as it wasn't available in the U.S. yet? I wanted to re-read his post as I'm looking for such a...

My main email account had a really simple password. Something like: "xxabc1234." Seriously that simple. Since 2009. And for three years before that it was "xxabc123." Never any issues, but I figured it was time for a change. So I decided to change the passwords and recovery options on all...

So far so good. Kinda threw me for a bit as I was in Cali for 3 days and come back to new site. Glad I picked a "simple" forum password because I don't have it written down anywhere.

Via canonrumers... Photokina 2019 scheduled for May has been cancelled, show to return annually May 2020. Interesting. CaNikon can now delay future MILC's a bit longer. Maybe. EDIT. Doh. Can a mod move this into DSLR thread. THXs.

I was looking for something and in the back of a closet I found a really old, no, ancient laptop. An AST Research Ascentia 900n to be exact. Still powers up and boots into Windows 95. It was WAY outdated when I used it at uni to type up papers during 1998-2000. Keyboard is still better than...

I'm starting a new thread for "Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Cameras" (MILC) and Lenses as I didn't see a thread on this subject. Interesting story at PetaPixel titled, "Nikon Patents 2 Full Frame Mirrorless Lenses: 52mm f/0.9 and 36mm f/1.2" Very interesting. An f/0.9 and f/1.2 scream...

Link. reddit thread. You will need to click the "Actions" button for the "Malware Domains" sub under the "filter preferences" option of ABP and update. I guess these don't update everyday as some of the subs were a few days old. Perhaps I should look into the other adblocker you guys are using.
