My dad wants me to check out his PC that suddenly stopped turning on. It's a Dell Optiplex 790 I ordered him off the internet a few years ago, swapped in an SSD. I'm a bit out of my depth because I'm not actually very smart on the electronic principles side of things, even if you handed me a multimeter I wouldn't know how to use it or what to check. It *could* be the power supply going out, but if it is, I'd have no way to verify that... And if it is, it could've burnt out the motherboard...

hey does anybody want these old video production textbooks from 2006/2008 that I stole from my high school years ago

holy crap new VLC update

the #Columbo DVD set looks very good for a DVD, and considering the $120 Blu-ray set of the whole show actually has less special features than the DVD set of the whole show that can be found for around $30, I couldn't recommend them harder if I tried.

digging through my DVD shelf and ngl this might be the most Bad (Good) TV intro ever
