  • The brightness is one thing but also the alignment. These people install new headlights or the manufacturers just do not adjust the lights alignment correctly at all.

    I installed entire new headlight assemblies in my car upgrading from weak stock crap bulbs to LEDs with running lights, but I FUCKING ADJUSTED THEM afterwards.

    If I am ~50 feet from a wall there is a hard line where the top of my lights do not shine. That line is purposely placed so it won’t shine until cars in front of me unless I am every far away from them or there is an elevation difference. Sitting behind a car at the lights my lights will cut off generally right below the top of the trunk of most sedan models.

    I have never seen a headlight that could not be adjusted up and down with a little screw. Maybe the newest cars need an app or something stupid but I would be willing to bet they can also be adjusted.







  • Yeah I mentioned that in my other comment. I always test boot my new builds while outside the case with just the CPU installed. I like to make sure it’s posting each time I add new hardware so I can know before I put it all in the case that something is wrong. I have never had a board refuse to post without a cooler or fans connected, but they will give warnings out the wazoo though.


  • Man I used to check if systems would post without a cpu cooler installed at all back in the day. I wouldn’t run it for more than a few seconds but just long enough to make sure it was posting.

    Had a buddy burn his finger pretty good because he wanted to know how hot a cpu would get without a cooler lol. Turns out they get hot enough to burn humans within a couple seconds lol


  • I’ve built a lot of computers in my lifetime and my only guess when reading your post was that somehow one of them was causing a short and that short was somehow preventing the system from successfully posting, but I’m not sure how that would work exactly.

    My level of technical knowledge ends about there. I can troubleshoot and swap hardware all day, but idk how a case fan would cause a system not to boot specifically.

    Unless… Was one of the case fans running from the CPU header for some reason? Maybe the board thought the CPU fan was cooked and it was preventing a boot for safety? I’ve never seen anything like that safety speaking, but I could believe it exists.





  • This must be why all the shows feel like they were written by a high schooler. Constantly repeating information like the viewer isn’t paying attention. Constant visual AND auditory exposition.

    Netflix and streaming as a whole enjoyed a brief reign at the top, but unfortunately they never learned their lesson and we ended up right back where we started.

    Too many tv channel packages=more sailing of the high seas. When they made it so almost everything could be found in one place for a small fee we all rejoiced and many got off the ship. But then they went right back to too many channel packages (just now in the form of a hundred individual streaming services) and now we return once more to the high seas.

    Nope. These people are going to continue to froth at the mouth with every tiny little comment and joke Trump makes for the next 4 years just like they did for the last 8 years.

    I didn’t believe TDS was a real thing until I saw it happen to my own family. Normal, logical people turn into obsessed psychos whenever Trump is even mentioned in passing.
