    I think my ps4 hdd is dying.

    Is making some pretty fucking rough noises on boot.

    What's a good replacement drive for the ps4?

    I kinda wish my PS4 would die so I'd have an excuse to buy a pro.

    That is also pretty crazy to want.

    A lot of people recommend the Seagate FireCuda line of SSHDs.

    Well if the end goal is to have a PS4 Pro, you're better off financially if you trade in a working system.

    I just sold my ps4 when I got a pro.

    Works perfectly, so I got a good 250 for it.

    My excuse was that I sold my ps4.

    So, six years ago I built my current PC, and now I need to do some upgrades/build new.

    I used a guide that had different levels of builds that I believe I got from a tech thread back then, but my search skills have failed me. Does anyone know what I'm rambling about or know where that guide is? I didn't save a link because I am a silly billy.

    Hey, does anyone happen to know how to enable certain ports on a FiOS router for a specific IP?

    I've spent the majority of today trying to fix my ethernet-connected PS4's network issues and I have a list of ports that I'm supposed to make sure are enabled and no idea how to do so in the router settings

    Frontier has got to be near the top of the pack for worst fucking customer service in history. Also my wife just cracked her 6 month old LG G6 so I guess it is new phone time for her lol. It went right through the front facing camera, but otherwise it still works for now.

    honestly, I have no idea outside of the fact that it is a Verizon FiOS router with a netgear switch

    I could probably look up the exact specs in the router settings but I am so burnt out from looking at that page all day

    for the record it just started working again

    fucking inexplicably

    after I noted a bunch of security logs on my router showing that the ports were being blocked on my PS4

    fuck frontier

    Huh. Was told that the calculator in new iOS won't add correctly.

    Tried adding 1+2+3. Got 24. Apparently if you press the buttons at a normal speed it won't register the addition between 2 and 3.

    This is amazing.

    some said it couldn't be done, but here we are.

    Apple is paving the way towards the next big thing in math. Math so uncertain that it's actually freedom. Some may call it the apple math experience, but apple is calling it The apple math revolution! Imath for short.

    The best thing was that when I replied to them with "it seems like your algorithm could use work" they said "Could you pass this on to the right person to see if they'd be interested?"

    ...

    No.

    This is amazing.

    '"1 + 1" it could manage ("2"), and "1 + 2" ("3") and "2 + 2" ("4") or "tan 74" ("3.4874145"), but anything above "4" it represented merely as "A Suffusion of Yellow".

    Look. They needed to make sure the burst of white when pressing a button is as smooth as possible. If that takes up too much proccessor power and slows down responsiveness, then that is just the price we pay for that interface. It is as the god-emperor Jobs would have wanted.

    Hmmmm, system info doesn't list my motherboard model number, and I can't see it on the board itself.

    It's not super important to get a new motherboard, right? I can just add RAM, a new CPU, and a second GPU and have no problems, right?

    RIGHT?!

    The most important things to look at will be current RAM type and speed, CPU socket type, and PCI-E channels.
