Now Merc will explain how WD sucks... I had to use an old Seagate drive from 2014 with the LAPD controller. It had 19000 horas before being taken out of the 5th gen Intel of Lendovo.

My first total SSD failure in years''''''' WD SA 510, such a POS. One day it is MIA and hardly used. How to I destory the data on it now?

Of course they won't pay afterwards if they didn't pre-authorize it. Decades ago a car with no driver rolled downhill and out of a low-grade body shop (like MAAKO is today) and impacted me in my vehicle (I was trapped at a light and could not move). Of course they offered to fix the dent and...

Of course you don't work on a jack, but you need to jack the car onto the jack stands if you don't have a lift or inspection pit. You drove 600 miles with a damaged exhaust? The car place should still pay for negligence.

Are you having trouble getting the vehicle onto the jack stands or what exactly?

I'll have to try it on some other machines in late September.

The paid version of this one[/ur] using the standard installer. I don%27t think it downloaded anything after being installed.']www.safer-networking.org/products/spybot-anti-beacon/. using the standard installer. I don't think it downloaded anything after being installed.

Spybot Anti-Deacon has gone whack. Now every time the FireFox starts it starts asking all sorts of questions, and if you skip all that stuff it does it again next time it is opened. The defect is caused by SpyBot 3.9. SpyBot 3.8 is fine.

The problem is that if there is a bandwidth glitch then there goes $15-25 of paper and ink on a botched print.

I avoided the wireless printing due to high losses. Surely Win 11 will continue to support USB or GbE? Can you reliably print wide format from photo printers 24-44" 12-color?

Apple backwards compatibility is horrible. I know people that have three extra laptops or computers of various vintages to run older scanners, printers, software, etc. Fortunately we have Hamrick for scanners in Windows. The guy is a genius. I don't know if anyone has reverse engineered printers.

Thanks. I decided just to stay offline.

So If I have an 8-YO $2500 printer, will it print on the USB or is that part of the FU you mention?

So the apps don't care if the Google let's them in Android? Most Windows programs are for 2-5 devices, so Androids are better in that way. :)

are there possible for one? Are the number of Androids defined by the Google or by the "app" maker? Thanks.

I just wanted somewhere for a few photos and PDFs that I would show without the publicity of the socialit networking sites. I understand that the law enforce, etc, has access, but as I said I'm not concerned as they are completely legal images like Excel charts in PDF or inhuman photos, etc...

I've not been there in many years, but it was a nice area though expensive.

Children have small fingers and unformed brains; I'm sure they can easily adapt to anything on a cheap laptop. Around here the public school kids are supposedly on the Google laptops of Chrome.

I find a record of a XP 1800, VIAKT266A K7T266PRO2RU MSI, and 3x512GB Reg DDR in Q4 2001. I was probably using Win 2K.

I had several Athlonic XPs, 1800, 2200, 2600 something like that. I don't recall the VIA more than 1.5GB, but maybe near the end more was possible and I just didn't want to change the mainboard. The Penitum 4 solved many problems for me with 2GB and didn't destroy anything attached. I avoided...

Do it, do it, do it. :D The RF 24-105/4 is good enough for what it is and much better than the old EF lenses, but not what I would use for large apertures. I would never walk around with a camera and lens in the open.

I lost my website last year. :cry: Where can I legally put images for the web without any of the PII? Mostly there would be PNG, a few JPEG, maybe PDF. Nothing is remotely controversial - no images of humans or humanoid depiction due to AI, etc. Thanks.

Working on a dirty old vehicle is not my idea of satisfaction, unless it is a 60s-early 70s classic being restored. ;) IME if you have a low-value daily driver, then finding a good, honest, local shop that will work at decent rates is really useful.

Do you really need a 28-core Skylake for 12 magnetic drives? I suppose this will be on a datacenter, not in your home.

The D850 was much better than the Z7 back then and of course the D5 was the best if you could live with 20MP. I think you mean the RF 28-70/2. The Tamron loses 2/3 of that stop by 61mm and the full stop at 81mm, so at 70mm it's not practically any faster than an f/2.8 zoom. I rather wish they...

I assumed the whole fixture was being replaced. Putting in some random bulb from the Amazon and not testing the alignment is not the best idea. I'm not convinced that LEDs are so great. I have a bit older vehicle that has the OEM HID headlights with a very nice coverage, and good color...

The Z7 is five years old and Nikon's first Z FX body. That was sort of a malaise period for Nikon; a camera that was worse in most ways than the D850. Nikon is till short on two types of Z bodies - a 60MP+ FX and/or a 36MP+ DX.

Are your lights cloudy and discolored? If that's it a polish can fix that. Are there any issues with the wiring harness preventing the full voltage from reaching the lights? There are many 3rd party lights. Unless something changed road legal lights used to have a DOT number. I have no...

Many of the people that moved to S*ny for the A9 and A1 a few years ago are returning to Nikon now for the far superior selection of longer lenses and ability to use many older Nikkors. Canon users are more likely to migrate to Nikon, though most that left Canon have done so already. S*ny...

The a7cr is announced[/url=]. In case the knuckle-buster little a7R series is too large, not there is the ultra-dinky size with un-ergonomic viewfinder. So many specs are de-rated like no 8K or CFe (only two SD slots) and it is still $3000. :(

Selecting the Open CL box does nothing with the physical video card in my desktop systems. Now I understand the 'Cuda function. :) The auto setting works best in the ultralight laptop with the puny XeRemis video system (no physical video card).

So if I select the Open CL box it does nothing for the RTX 4070Ti compared to just selecting the video card?

Why is the 'Cuda only on nVidias, is IP exclusivity still in effect or AMD is not interested?

Is it better for the Compute?

Part of the problem is that the laptop CPu is thermally limited so there is a compromise between using the P cores and using E cores to improve performance vs. reduce throttling. It would be easier to test in a desktop with good cooling and probably make more difference. I'd rather just use 10...

I sometimes leave my work laptop on after an morning TEAMS meeting at home and it sure is warm when I open the sleeve in the offices, but otherwise it took forever to boot. The newer (version 6) one is usable after about 1.5 minutes so I may just power down. I'm trying to figure out how to use...

The YoGI doesn't seem to have very good battery life even though it is from Q2 2022, not that I care too much for work. I have a 10Ah battery in my office bag if it needs an extra boost. I practically never use my personal laptop on battery. Part of the reason is the stupid display issue. I...

What is normal for battery drain? My personal laptop (assembled in June 2023) loses more than I like. It's down roughly 10% in less than a week. I need to test more accurately, but is that normal and what can be done? I don't have use for the laptop at home because it has no Ethernets. Is...

So I activated the TPM version 2 and installed a Win 11 upgrade to the iNtel 13th generation. I had to D/L some "assistant" from the MS; the Windows Update did not immediately engage for that. There was no need for OS activision or account creation. I literally restored 10 and 11 about 5...

I "upgraded" the 1360P to Win 11 and observed that although it is faster than 10 in a limited context, it's not meaningful for me. DPP doesn't seem to care about the P vs. E cores in the CPU and performance is exactly the same in 10 and 11. GPU is not used by DPP. DXO is limited by the XerIs...

The higher grades of Haswell were was a noticeable improvement over the older ones. I have a 6700K Skylane that is still working well on 10. It's on a newer board based on the 270 chipset for the 7700K. The user did not want Windows 10 which was enforced by the MS on the 7700K. So these OS...

All of my machines are on the EUGi boot of the GPT. I was assuming that the TPM being disabled was keeping the computer free from 11 infestations. I will attempt to forcibly update the 10 to 11 on the laptop.

I didn't realize there were helical recorders that far back. I just remember seeing the big Ampex 2" quad recorders in the back room of the TV buildings. The first helical recorders I recall were the U-Matatic of S*NY. I was too young to really understand the principles of non-transverse...

What's not clear to me is if I update a modern system to Win 11 with TPM installed, does MS always to try to upgarde it again and again after Win 10 is restored and TPM is removed?

Doesn't Windows 10 have support for >2 years still? By that time the 8th Gen CPUs are 8 YO technology, but still useful for some things.

I'm not understanding who wants to put 11 on an old computer, some kind of masochists?

SSDs are designed for five years; no need for power.

Of course tape systems are made for business to meet legal backup and retention requirements. Some records need to be kept 75 years or basically forever. At retail prices the low media storage cost (slope) does not help total costs since the Y intercept (drive) is so high. Capacity must...

You can rent one for 4 days $95 plus shipping. Perhaps do that for one of your gigs at least pay for itself and then see if you really like it.

I ran it but don't see anything I don't recognize from the Programs and Features or the Services and Applications. I guess it is easier for some peoples to access?
