Well, over a week with the NWA210AX and zero disconnects on either 2.4 or 5Ghz bands. One major issue I have with it is I cannot get 2.5G backhaul working correctly. I've tried two different copper transceivers that support 2.5G. If I let my switch auto-negotiate, the switch will show 10G and...

Yeah, I actually read the reviews versus relying on the ratios before ordering. None of the negative reviews (granted far fewer) of the NWA210AX mentioned disconnects/intermittent dropouts. That's unfortunate. I was very, very close to ordering the UAP6 LR when I started researching the...

Thanks; I ordered a NWA210AX.

I'm looking to upgrade an Asus RT-AC87U that has been an absolute train wreck. I'd really like to get a wifi 6 router as I have numerous devices that support it. Looking through reviews at Amazon, I can't find a single Wifi 6 router that doesn't have multiple negative reviews for random...

Ah, the strange looking connector is for a 5.25" floppy.

Going through my box of junk and happened upon this: Looks like an IDE cable with some sort of breakout connector.

Just bought a 3770K to replace a 3770 that I accidentally bought. Now I'm thinking I should've kept the 3770. I can't seem to get this thing stable past 4.3 GHz. If I set the multiplier to 44, bumping the vcore all the way up to 1.3v isn't enough to get it through more than a couple hours of...

Maybe I didn't state that correctly. They do cover crowns (which I originally got for the broken tooth), root canals, etc, etc. However, the cavity and filling I had replaced would typically be replaced with a metal filling. That's the "reasonable and customary" treatment. Yes, I realize I...

I had an emergency earlier this year where a tooth broke in half over the weekend, and I needed to get to the dentist asap. I called my insurance company to find a new dentist to get in that Monday. One of the places they gave me is real close to my house. Turns out it was a new place that...

Ended up ordering a Noctua nh-c14. Didn't think to mention that this is going in a 4U chassis so all of the ginormous tower HSFs come no where close to fitting. Looks like this will be a big upgrade, but now I'm going to have to wait till next weeend :(

I just ordered an Ivy Bridge i5-3750k that I'm going to pick up tomorrow to replace my aging core2 duo rig. My current HSF is a Zalman CNPS7000-AlCu that I've had for quite some time. I will be OC'ing the new CPU. Is the CNPS7000-AlCU up for the task or should I pick up something else while...

They were both taken today. Stache was something I was trying out. Hair was the same cut with 4 weeks of growth. Hard to keep my hair at pic 1 length unless I get a cut every other week.

Ok, now I'm officially depressed. I'm not quite 30. Am I due for botox?

in each of these photos? Recent events have made me come to believe that people think I look my age. ATOT? Exhibit A: Exhibit B:

So one issue is that the column planks aren't anchored to the slab. So if the diagonal posts are for lateral stability, then they're probably required unless I address that. I was trying for a more modern look and the current columns just seem far too country for me. If I did replace with...
