Even pc's can do media and graphics the same it all has to do with the vram and amounts of cache. Its all about the hardware and transfer rate. if you have a pci-e graphics card and its 2 slots away from the chipset it will be slower than if it was right next to the chipset so all this really matters when it comes down to graphics, speed, and performance. Theres also many types of of pci-e slots. Im a certified pc and networks administer and went to the state championship 2 consecutive years 2013 and 2014 for computer systems

I disagree with the ease of use part... My grandparents got an IMac desktop and almost returned it. Couldn't figure anything out. And my grandma has had an iPad for 3 years or so.

Not to be a "D!ck" but congrats? Certifications dont REALLY mean much in the real world. ( A+ nobody cares, network+ nobody cares, CCNA, MCSE those are the ones that matter ) The OS and architecture have just as much to do with the performance as the quality of parts. ( Consumer grade ( walmart ) vs Industrial/enterprise )

 

 

 

So "state champs" your what like 19 or 20? ( not that it matters, but experience wins here )

 

Speaking from almost 15 years of experience, 5 in an enterprise environment, and the last year as a Network Admin for a Bank. Good show though.

That is a good start but you can only learn so much in a book. Get 10 years under your belt and your views on things will completely change. I have a single old certification that isnt even relevant anymore. My co-worker did go to college but he also has almost no certs. Experience will help you alot, having the cert will make things alot easier to understand in the future.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?
