That's actually good to know I can put 7 on newer hardware once I'm more flush and can afford an upgrade. Regarding RAM and SSD prices, from my reading sadly it looks like this situation will continue for a very long time. In retrospect the prices I thought were highway robbery not long ago...

So you think it's a driver problem and not something else? At this point it's more of an occasional nuisance than something I can't live with. It's just strange how everything will be working fine and then suddenly it does, roughly after the system is up about 20 something days. So far my...

Yeah, I'm at the latest and last version. And yes, when the problem crops up I just reboot. I was trying to see if maybe someone else encountered this before and had an answer.

This is a problem I've had for probably a few years now but I've never asked about it. I have my two monitors set to turn off after 5 minutes. This works fine until my computer is on 20 something days continuously. After that the displays never go off. After 5 minutes they just randomly flash on...

Merc, you have my sympathies. I've had way too many of those kinds of weeks lately myself. My brother is a car expert. Maybe if I give him the specs of the tires he can locate a source local to you. At least you didn't get hurt. A blowout at highway speeds is serious business.

They recovered over $10 million so far. Torture is also how they pay for their crimes. I hope Cambodia has capital punishment for crimes like this.

So this is what I get for giving up over ten years of my life to care for my mother so she didn't end up in one of those horrible nursing homes? Being homeless? We really need caretaker laws to ensure that time spent caring for family members is taken into account when dividing estates...

Counseling is a waste of money. If I had money to spare I would be getting dental work. I'm already in considerable pain. This isn't a gamble. You're assuming every ICO is a rug pull. It's launching when they raise $15 million, which will happen in a matter of weeks. That's definite. What the...

I'll just hope the ICO bails me out then. I'll get about $2,500 USDT rewards each month when it launches, more if the price goes up. That's enough to live on.

They got hit with a bunch of withdrawals at the same time. Here's what I bought: https://cryptonews.com/price-predictions/blockchainfx-price-prediction/ I know a prediction is only speculation but there's a lot of consensus on the token reaching $1 or more this year. I'll also continue to get...

I'm dubious this is a rug pull. There's a working cryptocurrency exchange behind it. This is similar to the IPO of the Binance coin. Anyone who got into that IPO did very well. The coin sold for about 10 cents in the IPO. Now it's going for about $600. It peaked at a bit over $1,000. Do the...

I'm just going to ask if the members here can start a GoFundMe on behalf of me. Maybe you all have better knowledge of how to promote it so it actually gets donations. I'll give my bank account number for them to send the funds to. This is how desperate I am right now. You know the background...

Here's the problem. I have assets but they're not liquid. My money in my retirement accounts is currently frozen until next January. It's a long story but the short version is I took out a rollover to get the scam site to release my account. Of course they didn't but Chase had a hissy fit that I...

As everyone here may know last year I was scammed out of $260,000. This and the loss of most of my business income due to the tariffs, and someone pirating our device, has caused me to finally run out of liquid funds. Within a few days my electricity, phone, and Internet are going to be turned...

As an aside I was going to invest in a mutual fund which holds the stocks of companies providing electricity generation for AI data centers. The returns over the last two years were something like 50% annually. Now I think I'll pass. Only a matter of time before this bubble pops. And it IS going...
