Slackernet

ran into this bud shopping with the boss lady yesterday. This proves without any doubt we idiots are everywhere

instapot website says they have an app with 2k recipes and a facebook group as well

https://www.facebook.com/groups/InstantPotCommunity

I would try the properties button on the right there and choose a default program to open / view the .jpg files
if it is not in properties do a search for default and you you be able to open a whole list and choose defaults like web browser, pictures and stuff like that

The thought is:
associate picture to program to view then windows will allow preview with the right program that opens it

seems legit in my so so brain LOL

I have always used intel + Nvidia and I cant say they ever let me down in windows or a linux environment

although opinions are great i always compare the cpu's and gpu's as there are many benchmark sites out there to prove the point...

then i decide for myself what specs are worth the cost of the hardware. you will be surprised how little the gain in perf is from an I7 to an I9 but the price differences are crazy

here is one website you can compare cpu and gpu at...and do some side by side comnparisons
 

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleCompare.php

then make your decision based on specs + price + budget. You may even decide to build your own PC on specs you desire....that is always fun but not always the cheap option

USED OPTION

car-part for zip code 95444 has some used ones for 100 or less. its best to enter your exact zip on the site. Since they are plastic IDk if you want used or not since yours prob cracked right

https://car-part.com

NEW OPTION.....Double check fitment the page has oem part numbers that fit

Happy Birthday  have a good  one

That smoke is pretty bad. We have the same situation / conditions here in the Pocono Mountains,  PA....and yes it is the smoke from those fires in Canada not any local fires. Those fires must be huge

Nice work that must have taken a lot of time money and patience to build

Merry XI-Christmas Everyone

IDK I am an Intel and Nvidia guy..amd just never cut it for me

the 5900X (387.00)is not much faster and cost 100.00 more than the Intel i7-11700K (267.00)

Xray is right i have not tested the 12th gen new intel processors. they changed alot on the core layout...kind of what amd does....i would steer clear or them

you can get a 3080TI evga 12GB g card around 1k (919.00)

that leaves about 600 for mobo, ram, ssd drive and a decent 750W power supply...you could get away with a 600 but WHY  LOL

assuming you can reuse the case that's tight but doable

all the prices I found are from amazon and I currently run the above setup for over a year now on an asus rog strix mobo and have no complaints the I7 keeps on chuggin even after hours of gaming. I run my rig on Air cooling anymore

the power control on todays pc's you don't need overclocking, fancy water coolers and hi heat to get an edge

Welcome to XI

RIP Blackbart

Happy Birthday

if your motherboard website doesn't offer temp monitoring software you could use something like hwmonitor or maybe cpuz to monitor the comp temps. Also try and watch your resource usage...if your cpu hits 100% things will come to a halt. Built in windows resource manager is good for monitoring ram, cpu and hard drive usage while in game

R.I.P you will be missed

it seems to be marked well what goes where

You are correct a lot gets discussed on discord these days but a "how to"  or a "best practices" post with a link back here could be very helpful

we are glad you enjoy the XI servers. Active users and feedback are always welcome. So even if you aren't new to the servers

Welcome to XI   

you are posting on a close to 2 year old ban post why ?

Your best best would be make a new appeal and answer the following questions below

discord bans are done by staff not bots. I believe the  bot just tells you that you are banned

so one question is what did you do to get banned ?

another question is what is your discord name ?

third question is when did the ban happen ?

forth question is was it the minecraft only discord or were other games listed ?  the reason i ask there is an old and new discord version

same seller another possibility

his pictures are not that great so verify with them if you can
