I’m comfortable with that. I consider my router a device that provides wifi and shares internet. Any security that it may or may not provide is incidental, and I’m not relying on it.

UPnP allows whatever it is that needs a port forwarded to communicate directly with your router to forward the port. You as the user literally aren’t asked to do anything or have to get involved in any way.

What year is this? UPnP basically eliminated the need for manual port forwarding years ago.

It seemed like Amazon was going to attempt to push into gaming a while back, but we haven’t heard much since then. Maybe they changed those plans and there isn’t much for him to do there now.

I’ve played and finshed both games and I didn’t particularly like either one. The thing about the wasteland is that its a wasteland. There’s a ton to see and explore, but I’m never going to stumble onto a place that’s all that pleasant. I didn’t like Oblivion much either though, and thought that Skyrim was as close as…

If someone is describing a specific problem to you, she may or may not want your advice. One way for you to know is to wait for her to throw out a What do you think? or So I wanted to get your opinion. If they don’t ask, she might not want it.

The moment I became a home owner was also the exact moment I stopped wanting to host big parties at my place. Go wreck some place I don’t care about.

You wouldn’t have found it weird to get this handout whenever you started your job?

You’re hammered and you’re using ramen and pizza as ingredients? Just eat the freaking ramen and pizza.

I’m all for “you get what you pay for” but my toaster oven only has 2 jobs: get hot, don’t set house on fire. I’ve had one of the basic $50-$70 ones for like 6 years now and it still seems up for those tasks.

He generally asserts they talked about preparing footballs for the Super Bowl, as well as about the quickly mushrooming controversy, but that’s it. That doesn’t seem to necessitate eight conversations, a number of text messages, and at least one face-to-face meeting.

Nothing wrong with the occassional white russian, but it can’t be the drink of choice if I’m out for a night of drinking. A stomach full of booze and cream is not a happy stomach for me.

Skyrim’s combat is fine (not good, just fine) so long as you don’t play melee.

I agree with the “Muse ruined Muse” comment, but I’d like to hear the U2 theory.

Is that “in Brady’s favor, I hope” meant to be pandering to the Boston audience he’s addressing in that statement, or actually suggesting he’s rooting for Brady due to how this has been handled and reported?

This is the Roger Goodell punishment generator, not the Bill Belichick one.

Whitson, I’ve seen some other posts say you can go through the upgrade procedure (so do up to step 2 from your post) and then use the “reset pc” option that’s baked into the OS to essentially give you a clean slate. Can you confirm if that works? Seems easier.

If your recovery partition is literally a partition (like, not just some folder marked recovery) then you should be fine. That said, recovery partitions are meant to restore the PC to its stock state, which would be your prior version of Windows. You’re not going to be able to install Windows 10 and then restore a…

Also worth noting that Brady has essentially nothing to lose by going to court. Worst case is he keeps the 4 game suspension he already has.

That isn’t all through. If the play ended right there it would only be half as embarrassing as it actually was.
