I use one of these to control 2 PCs and one laptop with a single keyboard and mouse. It could actually run a 4th machine off the same keyboard and mouse if I wanted to cram another into my workspace.

Sharing two 4k monitors between the three as well, though the screens have nothing to do with the switch controlling keyboard and mouse.

Used some double sided tape to attach the little controller switch to the top of the docking station connecting my laptop to the displays and network as it’s a light little thing that would fly all over the place otherwise. Been using the same one for over 2 years now and it’s been working great!

Tried some more expensive solutions in an attempt to tie my monitors and network together along with the kbm and everything I tried had some kind of unacceptable compromise, like bad video quality.

Whoops! Sorry, it is indeed for the PC version of the game.

Yup, if you use mods, it’s a good idea to set the game to update on launch through the game’s properties menu in its steam library listing.

Since a F4SE nodded game is going to launch through the script extender’s launcher, that keeps the game from updating automatically when starting a play session.

I also like to make a copy of my game folder and save it off in another drive so I have a backup.

Could be - tbh it’s been a minute since I looked into those. Either way, a low mileage pull is an excellent option and will last the life of the car if well maintained…

Meant to mention those and forgot! As long as it’s got some kind of decent guarantee that’s a great way to go. Should be plenty of them out there, as I’d imagine most of those vehicles end up getting totaled in accidents of varying severities rather than dying from engine problems. I do believe the Japanese engines are available as a result of their having stricter emissions requirements, BTW…

As someone who is seemingly constantly working on computers and has done a ton of engine building and other deep car stuff, in addition to the garage mentioned previously, I’d recommend buying a buildable engine core for your subaru, getting that built (either do it yourself - recommended, or by a machine shop - will probably work well, but will cost a lot of $$) and having it ready to install rather than trying to pull the existing engine out and rebuilding it - especially if the current engine still runs.

Unless your plan is to make a hobby of having exploded cars in the yard, this’ll go a long way towards putting an end in sight for an engine rebuilding venture.

Also fuck all car subscriptions - that’s some gross profiteering right there…

eBay is your friend here. Looks like there are a good number of turn key Nvidia GTX 1070 cards available right at your budget from some highly rated sellers, using this search string in the computer components and parts -> graphics/video cards category yielded 160 results:

1070 -broken -read -only -repair -empty -box

Here’s a link to the actual search :

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=1070+-broken+-read+-only+-repair+-empty+-box&_sacat=27386&_odkw=980+-broken+-read+-only+-repair+-empty+-box&_osacat=27386&LH_BIN=1

be sure to make generous use of ‘-’ terms as seen in my search string to filter out the giant wad of irrelevant/useless results that’ll come up, and read the recent/seller feedback for the sellers you are considering doing business with and stay away from single digit feedback sellers with pricing that is far cheaper than expected for the item - (e.g. a $150 brand-new RTX 3080 from a seller with a feedback score of 5 is very unlikely to be legit 🫥) and you should find what you are looking for. Good luck!

A) I applaud you for your masterful continuation of the pelagic theme of this discussion about Elon porpoisely allowing this project to flounder into Davy Jone’s locker.

B) TIL that an anglerfish lure is called an esca and that a sufficiently literate person can seamlessly weave such an unusual word into this net of fishy discourse… Bravo!

Dude, I love your sandy brain! TIL!

Back in the day I used to love many of the fantasy novels by David Eddings (e.g. Belgariad, Mallorean) but after learning about the terrible child abuse he and his wife were prosecuted for, I can’t look at them the same way.

Personally, unless you really love the house or location I’d walk away. I’d also be super surprised if issues found by a structural engineer can be fixed, particularly if you have to hire someone for a significant amount of that work, for just 15k, as after the structure is correct there’s a bunch of other aspects of the building’s construction that will have been disrupted and need fixing. If you need to hire a contractor for repairs it’d probably be more realistic to budget 50-80k for repairs.

If nearby homes exist in turnkey condition for 100k that’s your better bet. Not being willing to turn the electricity on in order to help a prospective buyer check out the place is a huge red flag with sirens attached as well. Structural problems can be very bad, electrical problems can burn the place down and kill everyone inside.

Walk away would be my suggestion.

Maybe he’s trying to trigger the Canadian Air Force into bombing the Baldwins…?

Looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing links to all the bits!

This is the way. Win is already activated, no need to pirate anything. Just get a >= 8gb flash drive, download the installer creator app from Microsoft, and reinstall Windows. It will activate based on the licensing level the machine came with, minus the crapware, which is from the manufacturer’s OS image, not Microsoft’s.

Same. I love my Plex server - I rip all of my physical media audio and video to it and can watch/listen on all of my devices. Music is especially fun on Plex, as it pulls in great bio info for most of the artists, which makes organizing my decent sized music library a fun bit of zen…

Sounds like you may want to look into reshade. There’s a ton of reshade presets up on the Starfield nexus, many of which may make the improvements you’re looking for.

Sounds like your car did not defeat you, and like you kicked a lot of ass. Serpentine belts are a giant pain in the ass - fought with one myself today. Just gotta have the right tool, which in this case is one of those that gets used once every 5 years unless you work on a lot of cars. You did great, and should be proud of what you accomplished!

Oh, how I love the Australian Soldier ears!

Same. I am a huge fan of curb-alerting large items that I can no longer use. Always a huge relief when a broken table saw that’s not worth fixing or some other large item disappears from my garage into the trunk of someone’s car.
