    Annual OCC Contest Thread

    in OCC News & Announcements

    Posted

    I just won a CPU Cooler and a Game Key.

    I'd like to thank Bosco, OCC, BP9801, ID-Cooling, and Dariuas.

     

    I'd also like to thank the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and it's board of Regents, my mother and father, the director and all my fellow cast members.

    I'll have to cut it short they're flashing the light at me.

    Congrats to everyone.

    How to choose a drive?

    Posted

    I had a WD My Book external drive that went dead just after the warranty expired, but my WD 1Tb Black has been soild since 5/1/2010. It was my main drive until I won a ssd in the OCC Christmas Contest three years ago. Now I just use it for storage but it still doesn't have any bad sectors.

    Win 10 Questions

    in OS: Microsoft

    Posted

    I just spent a week trying to get Windows 10 to run right. Total waste. Microsoft upgrade program said my computer was fine for the upgrade. I went to the ASUS motherboard site and found out my board is one of those that are not compatible. I did a clean install of Windows 7 and couldn't be happier. 

    Component Price Difference Across Europe

    Many times you'll see a retailer on the web price their goods according to how much their brick and mortar local competition charges. They will adjust the prices to get the sale while still making max profit. They know some people will check every site for the best price but many will just want to get a better price than they can get from the shop down the street.

    I'm only suggesting this because I always figure it's something major when an electronic device won't start.

    Make sure the outlet has power and hasn't popped a breaker, then rule out the start button by doing the following.

     

     

    Here's what to do to test the start button:

    Internet service during move

    don't worry too much about it

    if you just want to use the email to pay bills, google gmail is best

    they will filter almost all the spam coming to you

     

     

    anyway, you can also use an iphone or something

    you can also use your smartphone to tether an internet connection in your house to use a PC until your cable is hooked up

    you have to pay a small fee to your phone company though, but just a month should not be bad like 15 or 30$

     

    I absolutely would get rid of comcast if you have the option

    I dont have their service but my relatives do and even I hate them

    Trying to setup HD service for my mom was a horrible experience

     

    timewarner cable in texas is also pretty bad

    ATT Uverse is probably the best if they have it in your area

     

    unless you are moving to a large city near the coast, dont expect too much in oregon

    because last time i was there, there was trees and dirt and more dirt.

    I didnt see any wifi hotspots, but I did see alot of prarie dogs

    Thanks for the info. I'm stuck using my laptop since my cell phone is ancient, I think it still has a rotary dial
