Don't ask me, I'm not the sysadmin anymore

I just have to clean up afterwards

Anyone need any extra pieces of RAM? I have 4gb (2x2) PC3-10600 DDR3 that came from my macbook pro when I upgraded. Do you guys want it? Cover shipping and you can have it.

**theholycow** · 01-04-2016, 12:01 AM

Wonder if that shit fits my computer. Don't feel like figuring it out. I'm so lame.

race2c · 01-04-2016, 12:53 AM

Cow / Wan / others - quick RAM question.

I am thinking about upgrading or putting more RAM in my HTPC as the motherboard still has 2 more slots available. My current RAM is Kingston hyper x fury 8gb (2x4, 1866, CL10, DDR3), thus taking up 2 slots. If I simply wanted to throw in an 8gb (1x8, same specs) would that throw anything off, such as the timing?

since it's DDR3, it shouldn't require pairs, you should be able to add one stick to it

Anyone have any experience with SendEmail or setup a computer to send email everytime it turns on?

I am trying to get my htpc to send me an email everytime it turns on to trace some Wake on WAN/LAN errors. Followed an article on HowToGeek and the system doesn't work.

I played with something like that a while back to email me when my IP changed. Then I got annoyed with it and just had it save a text file in drop box when it changed lol

**stonehenge** · 01-17-2016, 11:52 PM

So a friend gave me an old Pavilion dv7 that he got for free from some old lady who bought a new laptop. It has a meh AMD dual core in it and had a gig or two of RAM. Bumped it up to 4gb and threw CloudReady on it and it isn't half bad. ChromeOS can turn a turd into a not-bad machine if all you need is a glorified browser.

Only downside of this thing is that it's a huge brick

kinda the opposite of most Chromebooks.

**stonehenge** · 01-19-2016, 07:38 PM

got an email from my parents friends (old peeps) saying they're having trouble upgrading to Win10 from 8.1. Ok cool I'll call them later. Then another one "we can't get on the internet anymore and someone wants to charge us $740 to fix it". WTF. then "Yeah, [husband] fell for it, the credit card company said it was a scam."

"Here's a pic of the message [insert pic of generic web-based pop up that says you have a virus, call Microsoft at this number to fix it] and here is a pic of what the guy did to fix it [insert pic of random nonsense in a command prompt window]"
