I went to see a user whose wireless mouse AND wired mouse were both not working. I got there and this is what I found:
- The wired mouse was actually not a mouse at all...it was the wireless mouse receiver.
- The wireless mouse needed new batteries, but it was in denial and kept lighting up properly anyway.

I just got the news that Office 2010 won't be able to be installed with a .MSI file. Fucking Microsoft. I thought that they want everyone to use .MSI installations with GPOs to install software. Now the only way is going back to 1985 style...put it in a fucking batch file.

Assholes.

I just walked half a mile with one of these:



It doesn't sound far and as far as UPSes go, this one isn't very big, but fuck I am tired wtf.

[KOURKE]

what is it?

[stonehenge]

Its a battery backup. You plug yo shit in to it so that when the power goes out, yo shit stays on

These little guys can keep a normal computer/monitor going for long enough to make it through quick power outages or long enough to shut down correctly before the battery dies.

[KOURKE]

kewl

so you could still be on da computer pr0n when the powers out?

[theholycow]

Yup. You have to plug your cable modem into it too, though.

[KOURKE]

good to know

non-stop fapping ftw

I want to get one at me house, for now all my shit turns off

[theholycow]

Just get a laptop. Then you only need to power your router and modem. If they have wall warts, you can just replace the AC power adapter with a direct DC line from your truck (if 12v) or from your laptop USB (if 5v).

Actually I would probably have to power a satellite dish to keep my internet working or do they not have power and are just an antenna? hmm

[theholycow]

If they get power, they get it from the receiver the plugs into them.

i should get if i remodel room

[stonehenge]

You don't need to remodel the room to add a battery backup wey

[Cez★]

nah pero is no have free outlets right now with teh way my room is

[stonehenge]

That is what is pimp. You unplug the computer/monitor and plug them into the battery, the battery takes up 1 plug. So you end up with one more outlet in the wall than you started with.

[Cez★]

ORLY?? score

[stonehenge]

BUT they are expensive and you shouldn't really plug them into surge protectors I don't think.

[Cez★]

i no haz surge protectors

[stonehenge]

Current computer is plugged directly to wall?

[Cez★]

[stonehenge]

I have comp/monitor on one BAMF surge protector and our TV/PS3 on another one, gotta be safe brah
