Heard a pop. Lights went out. This pole is burnt and it was smoking before I got this photo.

Time to break out a floor fan and point it at the modem. Then keep an eye on it.

What this means is there's no point in air conditioning a room when people will enter and leave the house constantly through that room and the kitchen adjacent to it makes the air hotter in the summer.

Some environment that is. And the only place with a working phone jack for DSL.

I guess this is just something that comes with having an old modem. The constant use and the stress of the seasons in a house with no air conditioning is wearing it out.

Its nit that we can't put AC units in these old windows, but the living room is adjacent to the kitchen and is also high traffic.

When the universe of Tamriel in UE5 is running smooth without stutters, yes. Yes it is. Verry pretty.

Nice work on this piece, dude. :)

Ah, Microsoft. This is what happens when you fire most if not all of your QA department and downsize patch testing PC's to a tiny handful of VMs *emulating* different hardware environments.

Otherwise known as "releasing patches that break people's crap under the excuse of 'security'." >_>
