Impacted is when they are sideways? " Impacted " is the state wherein a tooth has not erupted through any gum tissue and isn't visible, save perhaps for a slight surface irregularity. My experience was that my lower left wisdom tooth presented as both fully impacted and as a rogue (rotate...

Couple of quick disclaimers and/or provisos : 1.) I didn't read further back than this recent June, 2019 thread revival; 2.) My comment isn't germane to the question posed by Tyler3041 , but it's being left in case it might provide some benefit to other readers. Similar to Chuckaluphagus' experienc...

I only made a brief attempt, but couldn't get my main rig to list it. Unplugged all removable drives and all prior updates installed. I'm probably better giving it a week or two anyhow, in case there's any showstopper bugs. You're not very likely to get it right away from the "check for update...

So to offer a status update: Hardware - Following the advice of mikewinddale I replaced the 500GB Samsung 560 EVO with an inexpensive 120GB PNY CS900. I already had a Win10 image thumb-drive on hand, and upon plugging it into my Samsung NP-QX410-JUS, the laptop fired up without hesitation and comple...

Thanks to all for the continued input! To address a couple of points above: - the drive is a 500GB Samsung 850 Evo that replaced an OEM 650GB HDD (& that I clumsily misidentified because reasons) - the laptop (& drive) have have been rock solid from their respective initiations, but a few mi...

Thanks to both meerkt & mikewinddale for your above suggestions! I've been mulling the idea of testing Linux waters for awhile now, so there's no time like the present I guess. I also happen to already have a 2-bay docking station and can easily free up a bay for the purpose of repairing my prim...

I've managed to turn my 2012 Samsung QX410 into a paperweight with a glowing screen & need help to restore it. I've been running Win10 Home upgraded from Win7 Home, I maintain regular backups, I've successfully restored & recovered the system a handful of times in the past. This time I'm jus...

From image comparisons I suspect your daughter may have acquired an Aeonium Arboreum, of which there are quite a number of varietals. Although lower petals are clearly distressed, it's a bit difficult to tell from your photo if some of the upper petals are simply distressing as well, or if they may ...

^ Is it better than Intel's TIM? :wink: Gonna have to go with "yes". C'mon, guys, you can set the bar higher than that , can't you? There may be more efficacious TIMs on the market, butt , Boudreaux's has the huge advantage of of being Dual Purpose , much like "Shimmer" ( http:/...

Once the comment smoke starts to clear, I hear there's a Pretty good treatment fer what ails ya! and it's reported to be Intel/AMD agnostic, despite comparative core counts, thread counts and benchmark suites: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e8/Boudreauxs_Butt_Paste.jpg

I wanted to like these, but really I'm not impressed. Their ad was almost indecipherable. Poor audio on all the people speaking. Ranging from hollow sounding voices to tinny to muffled, to microphones set to very low gain. The poor quality audio in this ad makes me question if they really know audi...

Would a multi-part series on Digital Privacy and Security be of any interest? This is a topic that certainly seems to be of ever-escalating importance, and it's one that I personally would appreciate reading about in a few deep dives. Mass media outlets love to report on breaches, but beyond telling...

To revisit a couple of programs mentioned above: The Expanse - Best SciFi series produced in years! Season 3 is closing out over the next 2 or 3 episodes & SyFy declined to renew for season 4. Bezos & his space obsession Save The Day ! The Expanse will launch season 4 on Amazon Prime, though...

Apple is supremely arrogant and most of the others are comically unimaginative, that's hardly news. But will this trend really have an impact on headphone aficionados? I was under the impression that virtually all of the good can designs were ancient, and Bluetooth makes decent sense for cheap-ish ...

Conceivable but not likely. Some group might some day put SOMETHING together, but I wouldn't be holding your breath. The hardware in the 950 XL is more or less the same as a Nexus 6P as far as the main components goes. Oh I'm definitely not holding my breath ... just thinking it may be "relati...

I use Win10 Mobile on a Lumia 640XL; really like the phone and IMO the OS platform is far superior to either iOS or Android, so the planned deprecation of the platform both disappoints & saddens me. BUT* as a "non-technical" tech enthusiast, I have a question that I don't begin to know...

I'm now officially baffled. Mods will get to spam posts eventually, but not necessarily in realtime. We will usually just move the thread to the junk yard and swing the "Hammer of Banning (HoB) +4" to the poster. This is why you should use the Report function to let the mods know about th...

I'm now officially baffled. On the front page, the sub-header entitled Hot Forum Threads lists the 4 most recently active forum topics. I clicked on the topic title Levitra prezzo in farmacia , curious about the prospect of an honest to gosh Italian (or at least that of one who speaks Italian). This...

I bought a couple of basic Fire tablets for my nephew's kids to use to play Free Time games. The 5yr old boy has pretty much mastered the thing and most of the games inside of 8 months. I have separate passwords for each tablet and it is only by religiously guarding him from seeing said passwords t...

I do not have first-hand experience with noise cancellation, however: Everything I've read tags the Bose Q35 to be about as good as it gets across the range of sound quality, noise cancellation effectiveness & feature set. Typically reviews will note that it out-performs much more expensive off...

Paid Malwarebytes is what you want.

I just pronounce it like... hmm... keh-bee lake. There's probably a better way to pronounce it. Though sometimes I'm tempted to change it into Kirby Lake. I suggest that henceforth we resolve to refer to "Kaby Lake" simply as " Bruce "! This falls neatly in line with the long st...

Well, just like the old NASA saying (better/faster/cheaper; pick 2), you're in the same boat. I've always heard it as fast, cheap, and reliable. I find it disappointing that these days, with ransomware and data stealing, that a basic requirement of patching reduces my options to just a handful of p...

I'll pass and simply get a standard office chair with no sensors or internet connection. Just like I'll refused to get a smart TV or any other smart appliance. As mentioned in another thread, This IoTs crap has gotten out of hand and we need to slow down and rethink it over. I agree that the IoT th...

Interesting thread! Work chairs (and messenger bags) are something(s) that I can just really get into for some weird reason. Personally, I'm trying to hold off on a "seating upgrade" until they've released Level 4 to Level 5 Autonomous Office Chairs . These are furniture lines that are loa...
