  1. So my house has several of these 90 degree wall mount lights. Just moved in and this is how I found them. I need to outright replace two. All I can find at Lowe’s Depot are complete led kits, which is another project for another time. Anyone know where I can find these or better yet what to enter into my google search.

  2. From a local DFW pilot group:

    I happened to be pulling a plane out of a patio hangar on Sierra and witnessed the crash. Felt heat on my cheek when it impacted and exploded. It appeared to be a left engine failure that was not reacted to quickly enough (or maybe it was coupled with a mechanical failure and pilots were unable to react appropriately). Plane was rolling to the left at full power and descending - probably banked at least 60 degrees when it hit the hangar. I hope no one ever has to witness a crash like this.
  3. That sounds like a good deal. But I feel you and others on this thread should know that means you're using a Haswell processor, which is now 6 generations old and was first released in  2013.  Newer processors, even from 2 years ago, are easily 2 or 3 times more powerful for computational tasks, not to mention the extra boost for programs that take advantage of certain newer instruction sets. The increase in integrated graphics performance is even higher. And, none of that includes things that may be even more important for day-to-day use like huge improvements in battery life, support for faster wifi standards, support for thunderbolt, usb-c, and faster solid-state drives and memory. Sorry, not meaning to rain on the parade.    


    True. Guess it just depends on what you need it for.
  4. I’m done buying new. I just picked up a pre-owned Dell Latitude E7440 (slim body) with the I5 and 8gig of ram, 10 Pro, 1080P display off eBay for $140. Added a 500GB SSD drive. Granted you can get a newer spec pre-owned Latitude for maybe $300 but these were $1500 machines a couple years ago and mine looks and runs like new.

     

  5. Most of these storms are mid-level rotation, not dropping wall cloud but these are some serious storms.


    Worst I’ve seen in terms of severe punch in DFW for some time. Nasty winds and unbelievable rain.

    Nope. The 30 is a fairly old model with lower lumens, the 35-40-45 are much better than the 30.  A new in the box 45 goes for $1400 on eBay. Here's a 40 with 636 hours on it and a backup lamp and ceiling mount for under $800, on buy it now, shipped. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-VPL-HW40ES-SXRD-1080p-Projector/202693122993?epid=219582488&hash=item2f31739bb1:g:WXoAAOSwX5tc5Wzf
    If you have a snipe program there are zero bids with the auction expiring today. Note there are 8 people watching which means they all likely have snipe programs.


    Thanks
