    Looking for some simple coding/robot toy for kids

    I figured this forum would be a good place to ask with all the nerds in here. LOL j/k Im trying to help my GF's kids out with interests. Her son (almost 12) I think would really like some techy stuff, he just strikes me as a coder. So I'm wondering if there is some kind of simple kit out there...

    Looking for a particular Y cable

    I have two Jbl Flip 4s that take an aux cable. I want a cable to connect my lappy to the speakers and be stereo, both use the standard 3.5mm male connector. I want a Y cable that sends L channel to one connector and R to the other. I'm sure they must exist but I'm not either my googlefu is not...

    Small streaming computer suggestions?

    I have a TV I take out to the hot tub from time to time that I stream sports on. 99% of the time I stream from one site that has the NHL Game Center feed, and it's done from within Chrome. I tried using a chromecast but was not impressed with the quality and control was a bit of a pain. I had a...

    Asus Xonar DX weird sound

    I got a couple of these cards for the HT and garage as a cheap step up from onboard but I'm not so impressed yet. they are both doing this weird volume thing, when the song has a loud part they increase the volume, not a lot but noticable. I'm an audiophile and design/build my own gear but even...

    How to improve the wifi in my house?

    Its a 7 y.o. fully detached house. The upstairs router is easy enough to move, it's currently sitting on the bottom shelf of a book case. Though I didn't think height would matter. The downstairs one is near other electronics (receiver, cable box, and HTPC), I can move it a bit to distance it...

    How to improve the wifi in my house?

    My house is ~3000 sq.ft. and "L" shaped. On the main floor I have a RT-AC66U at on end of the "L" and a Linksys WRT610N on the second floor at the other end of the "L". The WRT610N is being used as a AP and is GB hardwired to the Asus, and the Asus is then GB hardwired to the cable modem. FWIW...

    3D Printer / CNC discussion thread

    I 3D print too. I have an older design that I got as a kit a couple years ago, a Prusa i2 that I absolutely hate. I've redesigned a few parts on it which has helped but the Z axis sucks and causes banding. In order to address it, it would pretty much mean complete disassembly of the entire thing...

    Just curious if this makes sense...

    I have a computer in the garage that I built with a G3258... cooling conditions aren't great so I only pushed it to 3.8GHz. I came across a used i3-4170 (3.7 GHz FWIW) for a good price and would be a minimal $$$ upgrade if I sold the G3258 so what the hell. With the research I did it seemed a...

    Want to Buy Nothing special vid card - FOUND

    Using an HD4670 now which isn't supported for win10. I need the full drivers to adjust scaling to fill the full display of the TV that I'm using as a monitor, the generic win10 driver doesn't have this feature AFAIK. So I just need something that is still supported under win10 so I have this...

    Want to Buy Anyone have a uATX LGA775 mobo kicking around?

    As the title says, looking for an old uATX mobo. Don't care if its DDR2 or DDR3. I'm parting together a system for the garage and I'd rather get a smaller mobo to go in the case I have vs. buy a larger case for the mobo I have. If you have a dated i3 or i5 mobo+cpu I may be interested in that...

    anyone for Astronomy here?

    Actually light pollution helps planetary observations. Planets have lots of light to spare and the ambient light stops your eyes from getting dark adapted so the colour sensing cones stay active.

    Converting BD collection to mkv, have some questions

    Thanks I'll look into it. I don't think I mentioned it though but I don't need to do any ripping. All my media is already on HDD, it was taken from my original media so it is still in the original BD file structure and DVD file structure.

    Converting BD collection to mkv, have some questions

    So I have an extensive movie collection that is mostly BD, probably <25% is DVD. Bluray players are so sketchy, I have three different versions of TMT installed that I own and a trial version of PowerDVD. seems like a crap shoot which one will play a movie with no issues. TMT was reliable until...

    What's the deal with feedback?

    Ahh thanks. All went well this time. I assumed that comment section was for if something went wrong and the mods needed to be notified. Didn't realize they needed a comment when everything went according to plan.

    What's the deal with feedback?

    I've tried to leave feedback on deals I've done through the B&S section. The route I've gone to do this is go into their profile, select view their feed back, then select submit feedback. I fill out that I'm the buyer and that it was a positive experience, leave my less than 80 character comment...

    Suggestions how to re-jig my audio setup?

    Thanks for the suggestion but I'm a DIYer. I design and build my own speakers. I have the proper gear and calibrated mics to take accurate measurements and design the crossovers <- that's where the real magic is. I'm kinda good at crossover design but not great and all the experience I can get...
