Not what I was referring to, the output of the Xbox One X and S is 4K, though scaling can occur, though only the X does UHD 4K Blu Rays. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_One#Xbox_One_X I will eventually get one, unless I'm very lucky in one of the auctions, you never know, I might get lucky.

Vic, You need to get real. There is no one who will give you a loan on what you make and what your current debt is. You can dream about grants all you want. It aint going to happen. And those Pics you posted, Wasn't that the same place you had big dreams over a few years ago? Jeez be happy were you live now. I hate to tell you this but any house new or not needs to be fixed as needed. Same goes for your car!!!! And driving with mismatched tires is stupid. The wrong size tire on one side of the car will cause it to pull to that side if you need to slam on the brakes hard. You could save money by not buying E-bay crap hoping you can fix it. Tell us how many items you have fixed you bought off of E-bay? And how is the computer build going? haven't seen any updates lately. You don't want negative posts? Stop posting wet dreams.

Not what I was referring to, the output of the Xbox One X and S is 4K, though scaling can occur, though only the X does UHD 4K Blu Rays. I was going by what you posted in http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=81952&postid=1895663#1895663 and since. It all adds up to you saying you need a 55" TV, because the viewing distance is 20 ft, and you are looking for a 4K model. You shouldn't be trying to watch TV from 20 ft and expect to see everything on screen clearly, even with good eyesight. And to see the benefits of a 55" 4K the viewing distance is from about 4.5 ft to just under 7 ft. You would be better connecting the X box to your computer monitor. And if you say, "My computer has only one HDMI input and it will be difficult to keep swapping cables" then you need to do better research. You can get HDMI switches and they can be remote controlled as well. https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/hdmi-switches |

Vic, you didn't do the most basic check - how much will lenders give you given your CURRENT financial state. You set off on another wild goose chase based on assumptions not reality, SB3 may not get signed off so that source of a deposit vanishes, you have no idea about the real costs of moving your current home to another site, you has assumed the other site would accept your current home, you have no real idea of the service connection charges, you have only a vague idea of the legal costs. Get those then start to think about what you can actually afford to spend. In your situation the very best St thing you can do is to stop buying on eBay, Amazon, spending on PayPal and start paying down your cards and loans. And before you say "You don't know what is like to live on just over 800usd a month" not too many years ago I was out of work with a £1000/month mortgage and an income of about £220 per month. Which most certainly does not add up to a good situation, making you look positively well off in comparison.

Except for 1 out of 6 months, I pay $16.33 a month, that 1 month I pay $16.35 or $98.00 every 6 months or $196.00 a year, I'm told that can't be beat by those who sell comparable coverage. So I no longer even try. Now if I bought a used car that would fit Me, then it would be time to find the least expensive insurance I could again, I'd need at least another $236.00 a month in income, which I'll get when I'm 62, I'm 57 now, so that's a piece of cake(no calories too). But that would be on a Mustang V6/GT 2011-2017, 305hpV6, 412hp2011-12GT, 420hp2013-14GT, and 435hp2015-17GT respectively. The GT generally has the better equipment package, than the V6, the V6 gets 31mpg, the GT might get 25mpg since the hp varies a bit. In 2018 the V6 is no more, just an I4 and V8 along w/a 10 speed automatic transmission, the GT gets to be 455hp, mpg, unknown by Me, but higher than previous years. Choices, choices... 10 speed transmission jointly developed between FORD and GM. There might even be a Mustang Hybrid in 2020... Road and Track wrote: Ford promises the Mustang hybrid will make horsepower comparable to the current V8 model (shown above), with even more low-end torque. The Mustang hybrid will hit the North American market in 2020. Quite possibly a Mustang hybrid Mule has already been built and tested, for a 2020 launch... It might even be like this one... And yes that is a Mustang under there, though this one is a 2018 Mule https://www.zinzin.com/observations/2017/industry-jargon-development-mule/ Electrics aren't restricted to Golf Cart performance anymore, anyone, and I do mean anyone who thinks an Electric Mustang would be slow, doesn't know a thing... Cause you got another think coming... Ford is hot on Tesla's trail... And the Future is Electric... Shocking, isn't it? Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Get those then start to think about what you can actually afford to spend. Signed off, do you mean signed by the Governor of California, Gerry Brown Jr? Done, voted on in the November 6th Ballot of 2018... Will it pass It's not a special election, nor one in June, so turnout should be ok, it just needs 67% to pass, this is a $4 Billion Bond issue on Down Payments for Housing($1 Billion for Vets, $3 Billion for everyone else, though one will have to qualify for this, otherwise one won't get any help, Me I'd qualify), if SB-3 does not get 67% I'm not worried, there is always SB-2 which has a Down Payment ability, and is not on the Ballot, why? Cause the law got 67% of the State Legislature to vote Yes on it, though to some, they think that they should be able to vote on this as a ballot measure, even though measures that go on the Statewide Ballot are only supposed to be Constitutional Measures(Amendments), which is what Prop13 of 1978 says, Prop13 is part of the CA Constitution, while ordinary bills just need 67% of the State Legislature to vote Yes on, the budget by contrast only needs 50%+1 vote to pass, the Voters in 2010 said enough, and wanted the budget to be immune to minority quack rule... The voters also passed Prop30 to pay down Bonds the voters had voted on in years past, wiping out Billions in debt(sales tax and higher income tax), the sales tax part has sunsetted already, the income tax part has been extended by the voters once again. The voters of California have a track record of approving ballot measures that are specific, taxes are one of them, bonds, are our specialty... And California is a DEEP Blue state, meaning Democrats rule, Republicans drool. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

SB-2 can also do a Down Payment, but needs time for money to build up for CalHome to be used. I'm covered no matter what, and if I weren't, I could still get a newer used car, this place is paid off, mine to keep until I die, and the park said in no uncertain terms "that I was welcome to stay, as long as I like".

the park said in no uncertain terms "that I was welcome to stay, as long as I like".You got that in writing? I pay on time, I'm never late, so there is no reason to even start eviction, plus they need all the income they can get, so I'm not worried. And if they have another rent increase, more people would leave, as did the last time the park did that, totally foolish... Last time half the park left, half, this park had 88 homes, now I'd think about 40-44, since a lot of them were torn down and not replaced, maybe 20-30 are occupied... It would be the death knell for the park... And they'd have to pay for My relocation, and since My place can't be moved to a different park cause of being too OLD, or to its own land, that would mean a place like I mentioned already would have to be bought as compensation and to satisfy state law on this. I would rather leave under My own power, and on good terms, since I do have a few friends in here. Tenants are not covered, Me I'm a Resident, I'm covered... Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

How do you figure they'd have to pay you to relocate?? "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

How do you figure they'd have to pay you to relocate?? CA State Law is on this, specifically the CA Mobilehome Residency Law. http://mobilehomes.senate.ca.gov/sites/mobilehomes.senate.ca.gov/files/2017_mrl.pdf Do residents have any rights to compensation for being dislocated when the park closes down? I live in a County area, so there is no City where I live at, County government offices are in Barstow, County is Local, where there is no City, there is County Jurisdiction.

I'm just astonished that Vic is thinking of buying a s/h mustang. He can't even buy the right tyre for a ford Escort! Or is this just daydreaming and window shopping again, chucked in to get a reaction? So I guess you know everything then? HDMI has sound on it, DVI does not. There is nothing wrong with a Mustang, My Escort is cramped and not as wide... And My bills won't be cramping My style forever, just as I continue to lose weight, I've got to charge up the batteries for the scale, Grace keeps laying on it, It says Hello, then Goodbye, there go the blasted batteries... And furthermore My income won't stay the same, like anyone who gets SS, I get a COLA, most of the time, the law is on automatic, so far just at the Federal Level, to supposed-ly keep up with inflation, COLA means Cost Of Living Allocation, this year the COLA is 2.0%, for Me that is $14.00 more per month, My calculator on the $735.00 says $14.70 though, so My check in 2018 will be $909.72 a month, still less than Poverty, but upward is better, how many people will this affect? According to the SSA more than 61 Million, how many more? I don't know. I just know undocs get nothing, Resident Aliens have to wait 5yrs before getting anything. I have a friend who was a Resident Alien, He's now a Citizen of the US, does He have to wait, I don't know, maybe. The SSP the state throws in does not currently get a COLA, before 2009 it did, then Minority rule took that away, and that has not been restored yet, bills blocked by a Dino in the Assembly Appropriations Committee, possibly Anthony Rendon, He's the Assembly Speaker or should I say Squeaker... https://www.ssa.gov/news/cola/ Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

might be able to route the sound out with a usb adapter |
zoom3+1=4 Send message Joined: 30 Nov 03 Posts: 66291 Credit: 55,293,173 RAC: 49 |
might be able to route the sound out with a usb adapter I looked on ebay, HDMI on the Xbox One is both in and out, I found a USB to HDMI adapter, but not the other way around, My speakers are analog, they plug in to an audio jack on the motherboard, and are normally very powerful, though there is this nagging cold solder joint that does need to be fixed... In is just a pass thru, out is out on the Xbox. hdmi to sound adapter There are a few converters that strip audio out into R/L channels, but no way to get this into a PC, not without some sort of card, since I'd rather keep My speaker setup simple and not convoluted, then you have a software problem, and I'm not a software guy, hardware is easy, software is hard. Besides what if I wanted to see the PC output on the TV? That's as easy as pie, just an HDMI cable is needed, and newer cards I think support 4K resolution. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

when i mentioned usb adapter i was referring specifically to a usb sound card that would provide an analog out if you don't spend money, then you can say that you don't have stuff. but if you do spend money, you get into the situation where you need to spend more money. so these are your two choices. |

but his monitor might only have one dvi input, plus the speakers probably only have one input, so the tv is the best solution, except that it costs money |
