    Did I kill my driver?

    A lot of the drivers say V+ or V- on them for the battery, and something like L+, or LD+ and - for the diode. The anode and cathode is diode specific though. So you'll need to look at the diode's spec sheet for that. Also since you haven't mentioned it... Are you aware of the heat sensitivity...

    Windows 10 slow?

    I had a 16gig setup back in '13. That was back when I did a lot of gaming though. Not so much now. Just don't have the time anymore. I require very little from my PCs at the moment. Mostly streaming and basic tasks.

    Windows 10 slow?

    That's pretty much what mine does. Seems fine right after the install, but not long after will start lagging. It hasn't actually crashed yet though. I'm currently waiting on some ram to show up to see if 8gig instead of 4gig will help anything before a fresh install. As for the key thing, the...

    LPC-840 discussion thread

    Same here, but it was right when all that was at it's peak. I even tried to grab some of those G9s that he supposedly had tons of. He said that he would send some to me and that I could pay him after I got them. But of coarse that didn't happen. I wish that I had been here when that GB happened...

    Is this a good 50mW Laser?

    I have one of those cheap 532nm 301s. I think I paid about $7 for it, and it came with the pouch and a battery. It measures almost 60mw. But because they are cheap, it's hard to say how much of that is IR. So with that being said. Make sure you get safety glasses that will also block out IR.

    Windows 10 slow?

    Some good suggestions popping up here! :thanks: @ElectricPlasma Some of your freezing issues are sounding very similar to what I'm experiencing. My laptop wasn't anything fancy when I got it either. Just a basic Toshiba unit. But the tower that seems to be running ok is a home built unit. Go...

    Windows 10 slow?

    Are you doing the downloaded upgrade, or the disc upgrade?

    Windows 10 slow?

    I've done some searching online, and there are a lot of similar issues out there, mostly with slow startup. Mine seems to be slower in every aspect. @DashApple I'm running a HDD, and since it seems like every process is slower then it used to be, it's hard to tell if anything is taking up more...

    Windows 10 slow?

    Hey all, I'd like to get some opinions from anyone else running windows 10 on their computer. I currently have 2 computers running 10 (a laptop, and a tower), and both were originally Windows 7 that were converted to 10 via the free downloaded upgrade. I haven't noticed any issues yet with the...

    In a pickle, car pickle. Help!?!

    My score is just over 720, and I usually qualify for the best interest rates. The dealer will search different banks/credit unions to try and get you the best rate. I was quoted 3% on my used '04 Masdaspeed Miata, and I agreed to it. Then they called me back the next day and said that they found...

    7.3 Watt cutting metal

    Yeah, if you wanted to try and cut sheet metal with it, you'd have to set it up like a plasma cutter. Get it red hot, then push compressed air at it to blow throw the metal. Plasma cutters just do that really fast. Without the compressed air, it be more like welding. As far as measuring the temp...

    In a pickle, car pickle. Help!?!

    Hey Hap, I used to work in the service department in a Chrysler dealership for almost 8 yrs. I built my own rock crawler Jeep Cherokee, and currently I'm building my '04 Mazdaspeed Miata. If you have any general repair questions, please feel free to ask. It's pretty difficult to diagnose a...

    Best lens for mits 500

    I just got my first Mits 500 build from Glutton, and it has a Meredeth lens in it. Seams to have about the same profile as a G2, But just a little bit more power gets through. But yeah, the G2 does give it a crazy bar line!
