Why the hell are you using a 480 camera?

I'm not.

I found it in a box, I plugged it in, and then got annoyed when neither W10 or W11 would mount it.

This particular rabbit hole cost me 2 hours.

But it was worth it to see the webcam now listed in Device Manager.

Also a prelude to when I'm finally able to mount that Iomega Zip drive that is gathering dust on my shelf. Who knows how much antique porn is stashed on those disks.
 
I have to zoom meeting. I have a Dell Computer with:

Device name DESKTOP-U56VMB7
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz 2.93 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.87 GB usable)


Windows 10 Pro.


Do I need anything other than this:

:confused:

Says it has a microphone. sound will come out the computer speakers?


You should be fine. The Ring Light will give you that IG influencer glow.
 
WTF is the 5800x $299 at microcenter, but $369 at Newegg????

And how obscenely expensive with those new 3D Ryzen CPUs be in this supply chain environment at launch?
 
I asked this elsewhere, but got know replies. Can you use the search function on Lit and get more than the 200 most recent matches?

TIA

You can specify date ranges in advanced search. I don't know how well it works, Lit's search function has always been crap.

Anything with a chip in it is stupidly expensive atm. I still can't work out why building supplies are so dear though.
 
If you'd like to try to get around a paywall, try https://12ft.io/

Simply copy the URL you're trying to read into the link above. Works on a lot of sites, but YMMV.

Now that is useful if it works. I shall have to try later.

On a completely unrelated note, I just bought a Blue Yeti X for sixty quid, brand new. Pretty sure the dude didn't know what he was selling.
 
My iPhone old will open Lit on known routers using WiFi but not 4G, but maybe that's a good thing? I've tried different browsers. Any thoughts. I'm on Virgin UK

Content filter at the provider level. You should be able to change it in MyVirgin.
 
Letting all know that I finally pulled the trigger on a 5600X.

Yes, I know, it's not a 5950X and I opted to not wait for the 3D chip.........but shit's crazy expensive in deutchland and those would require a second mortgage.

Envy me...........a little.

Here's why I bought my basic desktop.

I don't do Photoshop or Premiere at home and I don't crypto.

Having said that... Awesome 👍
 
Xi appreciates your business,

My Samsung (made in Mexico) came with web browsing built in.
