Best Ultimate Tech Talk Hang Out Loud Edition Season V

Lego shell to go with the lego stick?

lol good thinking. too bad the lego stick has only been ps3 only so far.

Well, I just had a client with the craziest computer issue.

Did a house call because he was saying his computer randomly started muting after his 4-yo knocked the laptop off the table (wonder if she knows my cats, hmm…). My first thought was that something was activating the mute button contact, like a crumb or some sort of particle in the keyboard. There was nothing under the key. Still did it. No spyware. Uninstalling/reinstalling driver didn’t do it. Finally I just started unplugging USB devices, thinking there was a short. The customer told me that he had to reshape the usb connector to his wireless mouse, and while I was looking at it he told me how much he enjoyed using it, and how the keyboard really came in handy too.

I said “Wait a second. Where’s that keyboard?”

The wireless keyboard was under the couch with a children’s book on it, pressing into the mute button when someone sat down or shifted.

Dude was so happy that he gave me $30.

Surely you can’t be serious.

I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley.

RIP :sad:

Replying to bot threads FTL. I can’t believe people in this section are actually stupid enough to not recognize a bot.

it’s my name day!

What, you mean Maj actually is in a hurricane at this very moment.

I shall call this… Lamp360!

I think I might take the usb port from the xbox and put it in this. So not only would it function as a lamp, but also a charging station for phones or what not.

that is cute

Yes sir!!!

no but seriously, it’s Saint Andrew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hey guys I need your amazing technical knowledge of arcade parts

Whats the “M” measure for the PS-14-DN nuts? I need to do these for my technical drawing classes and I must specify that. Please tell me you know what I’m talking about :frowning:

What’s frustrating is that they still get through at all. Wiz put in some measures to keep it down. I wish we could have something more stringent like ‘no new thread until 10 posts.’

Roger, Roger. What’s your vector, Victor? You’ve got clearance, Clarence.

But then we couldn’t have those threads where people’s sticks mysteriously stop working because the switch gets put on RS! god forbid they actually use the noobie question sticky for that, they need that shit answered asap

Whoa whoa whoa… wait a second. Legitimate noobie questions?

My brain has just exploded… into the atmosphere.

There are some legitimate noob questions…
But when you ask me certain questions… like one I answered yesterday… It makes me question if these people could take a shit by themselves. People need to learn that yes- we do read the noobie thread, and yes we will answer it in there.

I’ve seen people flat out admit that they didn’t post in that thread because “they wanted their answer quicker”. I hate to say it, but I would love to hand out infractions to these people (who know theres a thread for their question, but blatantly ignore it) like motherfucking fist of the north star.

On a positive note, my mechanic got back to me, its not my transmission. One of the springs or something, I was in class when he called so I couldn’t really talk to him, the important part is its a $400 fix >.>

A $400 spring that causes your engine to shake and prevents acceleration above 15 mph? A valve spring I guess? If so, crazy!

It was causing one of the pistons to misfire, the problem wasn’t constant. just every other minute :confused:
