KVM switch - Any recommendations?
  • I use one of these to control 2 PCs and one laptop with a single keyboard and mouse. It could actually run a 4th machine off the same keyboard and mouse if I wanted to cram another into my workspace.

    Sharing two 4k monitors between the three as well, though the screens have nothing to do with the switch controlling keyboard and mouse.

    Used some double sided tape to attach the little controller switch to the top of the docking station connecting my laptop to the displays and network as it's a light little thing that would fly all over the place otherwise. Been using the same one for over 2 years now and it's been working great!

    Tried some more expensive solutions in an attempt to tie my monitors and network together along with the kbm and everything I tried had some kind of unacceptable compromise, like bad video quality.

  • Fallout London's project lead is not taking the surprise drop of Fallout 4's update well: 'That has, for a lack of a better term, screwed us over'
  • Yup, if you use mods, it's a good idea to set the game to update on launch through the game's properties menu in its steam library listing.

    Since a F4SE nodded game is going to launch through the script extender's launcher, that keeps the game from updating automatically when starting a play session.

    I also like to make a copy of my game folder and save it off in another drive so I have a backup.

  • [Game] Darkwatch - play as a vampire gunslinger hunting down other monsters
  • Still love this game. I fire it up on my ps2 emulator every once in a while. Still have a working ps2, but I can crank up the graphics/resolution on the emulator so that it looks better than the original experience. It is pretty dated now and had some silly stuff (like ghost Cassidy as a guide) , but I really enjoyed the core gameplay mechanics and setting.

    Haven't looked at them in ages but I also have the Art of Darkwatch book and a copy of Heavy Metal magazine that covers the game. There were some cool weird west levels in Red Dead Revolver too.

  • Removing a dead super twitter
  • Gotcha. Should be able to connect the new tweeter before the original inductor "L2" and get good performance - I wouldn't bypass the crossover completely or you'll likely blow the new tweeters, and the sound wouldn't be as good as it would be running the tweeter through the crossover.

  • Removing a dead super twitter
  • Rather than modify the circuit to try to work around the bad super tweeters I'd try to match its specs (probably just tops out at a higher frequency than the regular tweeter) with a replacement tweeter from Parts Express. Looks like there's an inductor (?) crossing both +/- on the regular tweeter that's probably soldered to a board and accessing it and attempting to bypass it is probably a bigger job than just replacing the super tweeter and will likely have unintended effects that may include killing the regular tweeter as well. Replacing the super tweeter is almost certainly the path of least resistance and will preserve the frequency response of the original design as much as is possible - should be pretty close.

  • The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions
  • Meant to mention those and forgot! As long as it's got some kind of decent guarantee that's a great way to go. Should be plenty of them out there, as I'd imagine most of those vehicles end up getting totaled in accidents of varying severities rather than dying from engine problems. I do believe the Japanese engines are available as a result of their having stricter emissions requirements, BTW..

  • The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions
  • As someone who is seemingly constantly working on computers and has done a ton of engine building and other deep car stuff, in addition to the garage mentioned previously, I'd recommend buying a buildable engine core for your subaru, getting that built (either do it yourself - recommended, or by a machine shop - will probably work well, but will cost a lot of $$) and having it ready to install rather than trying to pull the existing engine out and rebuilding it - especially if the current engine still runs.

    Unless your plan is to make a hobby of having exploded cars in the yard, this'll go a long way towards putting an end in sight for an engine rebuilding venture.

    Also fuck all car subscriptions - that's some gross profiteering right there...

  • Men over 30, what type of wall art do you have in your home office or gaming room?
  • A couple of Mexican lobby cards from '50s scifi movies, couple of vision boards with a bunch of kid art from my son along with the vision board stuff, pictures of the wife and son, and a painting my wife made for me of my dog, Telstar - who passed a couple of years back.

  • How do you address a letter to an army soldier or even a navy sailor on a ship?
  • Should be able to send to the service member's unit at FPO or APO depending on if they're in the army, navy, etc. This page https://www.usps.com/ship/apo-fpo-dpo.htm has more info.

    You can absolutely receive mail and packages when deployed in the military, even during wartime. When I was in the USMC, getting mail while out in the field was a bit of a psychological life line.

  • Night of the Comet (1984)
  • Loved this movie when it came out too, though I'm pretty sure the car was a BMW convertible or some such. Not as cool as an 80s Countach, but not too shabby..! The 4k release is on my list of must score discs.

  • My Mantises Have Hatched!

    Hatchling Carolina Mantis wondering what I'm doing in its face. Here's hoping these little guys can bring the fight to the enemy bugs in our garden!
