So what do you do in Hardmode? I mean, yeah, you do the quests - especially the easy-ish ones. And you group up to make it easier. Because dying would now mean so much more. But you can't do dungeons, can you? I mean, sure, you could. But you wouldn't, would you? I think we all know someone who... maybe he's not a Leroy Jenkins, but he does dumb stuff a lot. He tab-targets and range-hits a monster in the next pack, or a pat comes up behind you and one guy didn't get out of the way. That's the end. All done.

The concept sounds fun, but it also sounds terrible.

I'm sure I'll try it.

Ranking of all time OSU Football coaches

Woody liked getting the kids up in the steel producing areas. This was back when Ohio mfged cars, tires, and other 'rust belt' items. Kids parents were blue collar hard workers, and it translated well unto their children. Heck, he was almost fired after his third year as well. (we all know how that turned out), and tOSU was known as the 'graveyard of coaches'. Soooo, this generation isn't so different, ready to pull the trigger at first hint of problems....Go Bucks! Bri, pretty spot on! PS, I know no one will, but good old 2-10-11 actually started hunting for national targets first. Did pretty well in Texas and especially Florida, as I recollect.

Gee, some counted that tie as a win, but I guess others see it as 11 ties.

Home Networking Questions (and my oh crap moment)

scarletmike said:
Alright, so in all the steps of buying and building our first house I got very excited that I could do ethernet ports in every room, which I of course did (really was a surprisingly cheap option, under $200 w/CAT6 cabling). Have the OnQ box in the laundry room which is upstairs with an outlet inside it, I'm excited and have everything planned out in my head, this is going to be awesome. Then comes my "oh crap" moment just this morning when I start looking closer at what networking gear I want to buy for the new place, if any at all. In all my excitement around the house I forgot a home networking basic that the order should be modem>router>switch, when I had been thinking modem>switch>router the entire time with the modem and switch hidden in the OnQ box and the router living in the office across the hall...where I did not put a cable outlet because I figured if I wanted to put a TV in there I'd just use the cable provider app/YouTubeTV/Sling for live programming if I wanted instead of paying for another cable box. Well that appears to have been a fatal flaw in my excited planning around the house, which leads to my question(s) below, since I know a few on here have more complex home networks and IT experience.

What's going to be the easiest, least hassle way to keep the actual wireless router in the office room instead of needing to try and fit the beastly, good wireless routers of today into the thin OnQ box? I do have an old, thin wireless router that I have no qualms trying to flash with DD-WRT if necessary, or spending $20-30 more than I was going to on a switch to get a cheap newer wireless router if I don't need to flash it and can just use it with some basic settings tweaks and no wireless/in its standard bridge mode(s). I don't mind going down the route of learning about VLANS either, if that makes my original, excitement-addled plan workable without too much headache and maintenance (planning on doing some smart home integration and I know that can be headache-inducing on its own merits, so trying to avoid any more major networking issues I create myself). f you want to find yourself a safe and free APK GTA 5 Mobile on the phone platform, the Getmodnow website is the choice for you with images and gameplay similar to those on your computer.

Here are some suggestions:

Use a wireless bridge: If you want to keep the wireless router in your office room, you can use a wireless bridge to connect it to the modem in the OnQ box. A wireless bridge essentially extends the network wirelessly between two separate locations. You can set up the bridge in the laundry room where the modem is located and connect it to the router in the office room. This way, you can utilize the wired Ethernet ports in every room while keeping the router in the desired location.

Powerline adapters: Another option is to use powerline adapters, which allow you to extend your network using the electrical wiring in your house. With powerline adapters, you can connect the modem in the laundry room to the router in the office room using the electrical outlets. This eliminates the need for long Ethernet cable runs.

VLANs: If you're open to learning about VLANs and want to take advantage of their benefits, you can create separate virtual networks within your home network. This would involve configuring VLANs on your router and managed switch (if you decide to use one). You can assign different VLANs to different Ethernet ports in the OnQ box and configure your wireless router to support VLANs. This way, you can maintain separate networks for different purposes while still utilizing the Ethernet ports in every room.

Use a smaller router or access point: If you don't mind investing in additional networking equipment, you can consider using a smaller wireless router or an access point in the OnQ box. These devices are typically smaller and more compact than full-sized routers, making it easier to fit them in tight spaces. You can connect the modem to the smaller router or access point and then connect your main wireless router in the office room to the switch in the OnQ box.

Recommendations to Recover a Damaged External HD

buckeyebri said:
I accidentally dropped my WD external HD the other day and I can’t get it to connect anymore.

It still spins and the light flashes. It does make a funny beeping noise for a bit but quiets down. Windows will tell me it is setup and I can eject it ok. It just doesn’t show up as a recognizable drive anymore.

I don’t want to send it anywhere with some of the data that is on there. Suggestions?
Click to expand...
they're worth attempting:

Check the connections: Make sure the USB cable connecting the external hard drive to your computer is securely plugged in on both ends. Try using a different USB port or cable to rule out any connection issues.

Test on a different computer: Connect the external hard drive to another computer to see if it's recognized there. This will help determine if the issue lies with your computer or the hard drive itself.

Update drivers: Ensure that your computer's drivers are up to date, especially the USB drivers. Outdated or incompatible drivers could prevent proper recognition of the external hard drive.

Device Manager: Open the Device Manager on your computer (you can search for it in the Windows search bar) and check if the external hard drive is listed under "Disk Drives" or "Universal Serial Bus controllers." If you see any yellow exclamation marks or error messages, right-click on the device and select "Update Driver" or "Uninstall." Then restart your computer and check if the drive is recognized.

Data recovery software: If the drive is still not recognized, you can try using data recovery software designed for situations like this. Some popular options include Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, or TestDisk. These tools can help scan the drive for recoverable files even if it's not recognized as a drive in Windows.

Professional data recovery service: If all else fails, and the data on the drive is crucial and irreplaceable, you may need to consider sending it to a professional data recovery service. They have specialized tools and expertise to recover data from damaged drives. Ensure you choose a reputable and trusted data recovery service to increase the chances of successful recovery.
