Yes, it does happen. 20 million in sales is not 20 million in PROFIT. two different things. We had to pay the building manufacturer etc. Its def. not 20 million in MY bank account

I am trying to get WSA and the play store installed on my wife's Dell 3169. I have windows 11 already on there, just trying to get some info on getting the play store on there to get a few apps she wants. Anyone try this on a similar system? -
Did you read where the company went basically bankrupt from those last three jobs? It is to long and hard to explain what happend here, but lets just say those three jobs (gigantic S&!Tstorm) bankrupted our company. We sold the rights to the building line we were selling for, and some equipment. We live in a small town of 18,000 people, there is one other commercial construction company here. I could not just go find another job. It is what it is. I am happy, making enough cash where I can not invest in my new businesses and be based from home in a year or so. It's all good.

That's how my brain works Ryan! I can't help it.

Well, considering I am just getting my businesses off the ground now. Don't get me started. I owned a previous construction company that had 20-50 million in sales a year. Took 3 jobs (I told my father, who worked with me, not to take these) in the final year, and tanked our company. Sold what was left, put it into another business that I got cornholed 4000 g in 3 jobs. Then, I thought I wanted to just go to work and collect a paycheck. I started working at Canadian tire doing the small engine mechanic work for them at 15 bucks an hr. It Was fine for the first few weeks, then they put me on parts. I HATED it. Quit there and went to a local hardware store, enjoyed that for a while, again until they fired a slack warehouse worker, and put me doing HIS deliveries plus all my work inside the store. Covid happened and I never went back there (thank God.). That brings me to now. I grabbed the bell sales job when the ole CERB covid benefits ran out. The pay is great. I make the same if not more than my wife who works in healthcare with the government. I only work 20hrs a wk too. So, the gig is OK. I just hate working for others. I cannot handle having a boss. I spent my entire life being the boss at work and being able to have freedom for my family. SOOOOOOOOO, I have begun working on getting our businesses up and running these past few months. They are going online at the end of January or February. Once these are working for us, I will leave Bell and again, have our life we want back. That answer your questions? Basically, my professional life story for the past 15 years condensed into a few sentences.

I do photography, videography, graphics creation, CAD design for wooden furniture etc, online marketing, my wife and I have a clothing company we are starting in Jan. and more. Plus, for right now I work at bell 20hrs a week. To top it all off I write articles for magazines and websites, books and other publications. I have a wide variety of things I rely on my computers for because I want to be home based and self sufficient so we can be with our son 100 percent of the time. He has a year left in school then he's home, so we are building our business brands NOW for when that time comes. We are putting everything into place to be able to travel, work and have time with him for the rest of our lives.

Ha ha. I meant an app with a group of tones not just one. Had rcp bqck in the day.

It is when that one port is power, etc. Every extra one counts. Plus, the dell runs on a real OS not a phone OS.

I use mine for navigation in the back country readly magazines and tv purposes when we are in cabins etc with no tv. -
If anyone can find the old thread in the NBRChive regarding the full build of the 7720 where the guy swapped in the 1920x1080 screen and black keyboard for it I would love to get the part number for the screen. I would not begin to figure out which panel to use in the system. TIA!

Welcome back! enjoy!

Welcome back. It's great the forum is gaining traction again. Enjoy your time here!

Yes, processed carbs are killer. We are going to be going lower carb in our eating after the new year as well. Keeping carbs to the scattered vegetable or homemade bread item. I may get a pasta maker and make our own. Cut out sugar etc wherever possible.

The wife and I were talking about this ad nauseum for the past month or so. We have decided that we are putting in a nice big greenhouse and planting a garden this spring on our property. We will never be vegitarian/vegan. We cannot do it. However, where we source our products from makes all the difference. We will pay more, but we know where our products are coming from moving forward. There is a local farm about 40 min away from here who raises their own cattle and by strict guidelines. We are only going to be purchasing beef (when we do eat it) from there. Same with pork and chicken, Local farmers only. I also hunt (for food only, NOT SPORT). Anything mass produced in factories is not great for you for sure!

Fractal Designs North Case. This will be the base for my next build!
kojack replied to kojack's topic in Desktop Hardware
Well, since doing some investigation etc, I am going to move in a different direction. I think I am going to take the usable parts from my XPS, use the Asus ProArt LGA-1200 board, install my 10700, ram, drives and add a second 2070 super. Then take whats left of the XPS and build a new system for my son for doing some video/photo work on for him. Kill two birds with one stone. I get the case, and system I need, and he gets a new decently powerful desktop for him to grow and create with. I think this would be the best way to move on this. We will see in the new year. My system right now is doing EVERYTHING I ask of it. So I don't need something new, but damn, that wooden front is awesome and I cannot move my entire system to the new chassis because of Dell. -
I am thinking about swapping to a new motherboard so I can run the fractal case. I have a 2070 super now and thinking if I connected a second one to it I would have decent bump in power for encoding etc. I am wondering if this would be the case?

I had a tab a8 for jeep navigation for a couple of years. I the only thing is that one never had a compass. Fast forward 2 months ago, I win a new tab a7 lite. I am typing this on it now and I think it's a great tablet for the price. I recommend it for someone looking for a cheap device to read and watch content on.

Mine was my daily too. Endyn was magic at tuning and performance of the B series motors. I was the only one in eastern canada with their setup. It was fun beating up on supercharged 5 litres during cruise nights ha ha.

I got on there, but could not find the thread I was looking for. I go to the "waybackmachine" and all the threads won't open.

I have a 5368 2 in 1, it has the pentium gold processor soldered to the board. I am looking to changing the board out for one with an i7 etc on it. It came with all different configurations. Will every motherboard fit the chasis and cooler etc? I have 512gb SSD and 16gb of ram already to go in it. Just want to make sure before I order the new screen and board.
-
I have but I don't seem to work for me for some reason.

Is there any way to see topics from the old site anymore? I would love to get some information off the aspire 7720 thread that was created. The OP replaced the LCD with a UHD version and I would love to be able to get the part number for that.

It's great we have such a diverse little community here already. I look at computers from a creative perspective, There are many who look at everything for gaming. We pretty well have all bases covered for computing for sure. -
Nope, Just got bell 1gbps. Where I work at bell I get a discount on the service so It's fast enough for what I need, and not breaking the bank.

Awesome, thanks. I will give that a try and see how it works! Report back in a couple of days!
