Looking for a RJ-45 port teester

I've been repairing laptops, and during the repairs, I check all the external ports with a tester, but I don't have a tester to check for the Ethernet port found on laptops.

His life should be ending - public hanging. This country has gotten so soft on crime, especially when using a gun and killing someone. Bummer the bus driver got fired for defending himself.

Re: Wonderfox HD Video Converter Factory Pro

I never have touched the settings, and for me using defaults, it would always use the GPU. I have a NNVIDIA Geforce 670. I did create a custom setup like you show in your picture. Currently trying it out on a MKV file to MP4.

Re: Inside the machine that makes the latest CPUs

I swear...we got this technology by the UFO crash site in New Mexico back in the 40's. ;)

Pretty incredible. Pretty soon, the smallest width will be the width of an electron.

Re: Wonderfox HD Video Converter Factory Pro

LOL - I have the same program; however, they are picky about converting movie files that are DRM. I usually have to use another program MakeMKV, then use Wonderfox for another format.

The Creator

Looks amazing. From the director Rogue One, it has a little bit of Star Wars, Elysium, and Rogue One.

Re: JayzTwoCents tells Asus to Fuck Off

I've always used Asus motherboard and never had an issue. It's really sad to hear the problems that were listed in the video. I'm still using my old Asus Z170-K motherboard. I've never had an issue with it. So I guess he's moving to using MSI motherboards instead of Asus.

Re: how long do you keep your cell phone ?

I keep my phones for at least 5 years. I still have my Samsung 9s. I never have received anything from Samsung for upgrades via Verizon. My previous phone was a Samsung 5s.

Re: Facebook Cambridge Analytica Privacy Settlement Payout

Yeah I'm not going to waste my time. The last one I signed up for was the Equifax data breach. A whopping $5. Took years to get it.
