1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Missing the ag check station that no one is manning.

 

Last time they stopped me at that thing it was to check for moths. Dude wanted to give my trailer the full inspection, then when he saw it just had two Harleys in it he let me go

 

Oh man, Robbie Coltrane died today. RIP Hagrid and Valentin (from Golden Eye)

 

Each time it was always a "are you carrying plants, etc not native...?"

Me "nope"

Though the guys at the Texas border are much more chatty than that

I replaced the ECM which fixed the issue of intermittently not being able to get codes and ECT sensor which fixed the sputtering on cold starts.

But I still have the P0330 code; I took some time off work visiting my mom to help after her surgery so I haven’t been able to afford the knock sensors and harness yet. In fact I’ve been shopping around for the cheapest OEM source for those while I save up.

 

Hey, progress is progress, regardless of the rate you're moving at.

I'm sure your mom's really appreciative of your help!

 

Saw the Raptor R commercial; crazy to think that they could make a crappy commercial yet people will still run out and buy them (with a $20k mark-up)

 

What OS are you expecting to use?

 

Ooooh good question

I keep bouncing between Ubuntu and Fedora, but I may want a Windows on there as well

Really I was thinking 7 since it was easier to run than XP, or is that vice versa? It's been some time now

What about you?

 

Oh yeah, Win7 was the shizz. I'm afraid it'll be Adobe telling me what will work with their Lightroom software. Probably Win10 or 11. I want to stay Win10 if I can.

 

10 is required minimum for Lightroom in creative cloud

 

Some of us Lake Tahoe people live in Nevada.

 

Yeah, I was snooping the other day. It's where I found my old-new ASUS 9500GT card wasn't going to cut it.

 

Yeah pretty much nothing in the parts you posted the other day are going to be pretty pleased to run Windows 10 or Lightroom it will not be a fun experience

 

Yup, that's the way its looking.

 

You could still put it together to play Minesweeper

 

Old PCs eh? Here's my aging Alienware Area 51 ALX which now serves as a network storage machine. Gets powered up for backups of our mobile devices, photo transfers and the wife uses it as a storage dump for all of her Cricut designs. I should probably retire the old beast. Still kickin' with Windows 7 Ultimate, an i7 960 @ 3.2Ghz. 1.5TB of SSD storage and a single 500GB HDD. Geforce 1050Ti is still chugging along. Did have 2 cards running in SLI but they failed so I dumped the single nvidia GPU in.

Good enough for what its being used for and the dust makes it feel that much older.





Heavy POS lol
