Just FYI, Goodsync supports Windows, Apple, Android, Linux and has AES-256 bit encryption. I have been very happy with it on Windows with the free version of ACD (with Prime) to backup all my pictures. https://www.goodsync.com/platforms

Verizon 4G at home. We don't have the best signal here. https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/8389471

This is supposed to be one of the better speed test sites out there now because it checks a number of things: https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest

DD - So glad you turned me on to Lastpass. I am so loving everything it offers. It has really made managing passwords so much easier!

I got a new monitor and I love it! HP OMEN 32" 2540x1440. $430 shipped free direct from HP. It was on sale at Costco for $300 over the holidays but I missed it. I upgraded from a 28" Viewsonic 1920x1080. The pixel pitch is noticeably better. Don't think I will be planning for an...

My AP is unique and is in a high location in the house so it covers the whole house with 2.4Ghz w/o issues. No need for handoffs. The router downstairs in the basement doesn't do much from a wireless perspective but I do have the 5Ghz band enabled so it can talk with one of my Fire TV sticks...

I did it on my Lenovo R61 (was purchased in 2006). Also upgraded the CPU to a T9300 (or was it a T9500 IIRC) and replaced the heatsink/fan for fun too.

Great! What firmware did you settle on?

Merry Christmas!

Just switched my wife's Galaxy S5 from Verizon to Total Wireless. Total Wireless is actually Verizon off branded. There has been no difference in service at all since the switch other than getting a new SIM from them and having to activate a new voice mail box (for the same phone number)...

Private Internet Access, a VPN provider. They have instructions to set up the Merlin firmware on their site.

Main reason I am using it is because it was recommended by the Hard Forum crew and also works very well with PIA in that you can specify which clients use it and which do not. Also, it is updated pretty frequently, from what I hear, and there is a lot of community feedback/support by the...

New version of Merlin is out: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/bkfq2a6aebq68/Asuswrt-Merlin#qc4e5xc252czd

My wife's Dell Latitude E7240 has an odd problem. It will restart, shutdown randomly or BSOD but only when connected to our home wifi for a few hours or so. It makes no difference if we turn on or off the VPN software. Previous router was an Asus RT-N66U and current router is Asus...

"Askey Wi-Fi Router" is correct as far as what you will see in the email confirmation. If you log into the T-mobile site with your Order Number, Zip code and last name, to check order status - you should see the proper description.

I get one license from the HUP but that is all and it is used on my personal laptop. Wife has Office on her work laptop but likes to work off our Desktop a lot so I opted to spend $30 for the convenience of having another office.

My wife needs all the functionality of the actual MS products for the things she does that are work related. The develop some process automators etc etc.

Note: Shipping is FREE (at final checkout) whether you select Next Day or not.

Bootmonger's guide is the best. Some of the other guides required the use of a hex editor etc. which looked like a major PITA. Bootymonger's guide made it easy: https://slickdeals.net/f/9330575-asus-tm-ac1900-wireless-ac1900-dual-band-gigabit-router-59-free-shipping?p=92529215#post92529215...

I purchased a cheap Office 2016 licence (for the complete suite with everything, I believe) from this seller for $29.88. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=ilovedj69&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller&searchInterval=30 He had multiple licenses available. I never went through...

Stolen from Hardforum Hot Deals https://hardforum.com/threads/rt-ac68u-clone-59-use-code-wifi40-t-mobile-com.1917201/ The T-Mobile router can be flashed into a standard Asus RT-AC68U. I have Merlin installed on mine and loving it. Have the router configured with PIA which allows you to...

Yeah brainfart. I'm sure the pumps are designed for a constant impeller speed at a given voltage though. The relatively high min speed to achieve the performance specification of the pumps for the different levels of head is likely the reason for the pump getting hot w/o being cooled by...

Pumps are also designed for a certain amount of 'head' or ability to pump water UP. For that reason I think they have high minimum power requirements. For instance, mine can pump the water UP 20' at a minimum of 25 gal per minute. At 5 ft. it can achieve 72 gallons per minute.

My guess is that, firstly the pumps are constant voltage. To vary how much power they draw, there would need to be some type of feedback loop to vary the current incorporated that would likely significantly increase the cost of the pump and adversely affect its reliability. Your use case...

My Zoeller sump pump has built in thermal overload. http://www.zoellerpumps.com/en-ap/product/92-model-98#specifications

Verizon's Cloud app will backup everything to the cloud for you and then you can re-download it (if you have Verizon). They also have an app that allows transfer of everything directly between two phones (I think it uses bluetooth and NFC but not sure). It is really easy, you just run the app...

I was able to get Goodsync 10 for only $19 (I had v8.0 and was able to upgrade for a $10 discount). It works very nicely with ACD. Uploaded about 150GB in about 34 hours (about 9.8mpbs average on my Comcast connection). It did error out on about 90 of my 40,000+ files but re-running the...

Yeah I just got notice of the Comcast 1TB monthly cap too. I need to find out the policy on overages. I think if you go over once in a 12 month period, they may let it slide. At least that's how it was before in other capped areas.

Backblaze is only $50 per year (prepaid) for unlimited and is not Java based (so it's more efficient on resources - supposidly). Do any of you guys use it? Only downside to it, it seems, is that it cannot do free computer to computer backups like Crashplan does. Also note, Crashplan no...

Maybe Goodsync 10 will work for $30? http://www.goodsync.com/features http://www.goodsync.com/how-to-sync-amazon-cloud-drive https://thedailydigi.com/avoiding-disaster-my-rainy-day-backup-plan

Have you guys tried odrive? It supposedly works with ACD. https://www.odrive.com/ Edit: sounds like you might need the monthly fee version of the product for ACD sync to work. Still digging.....

Would love to hear more updates from you guys on this as I am definitely considering switching over to Amazon Drive unlimited from Crashplan. I would like a solution I can use from one PC. Would be nice if it also works with network shares (i.e. would like to backup a Shared drive on another...

I'm allergic to dust, mold, pet dander and seasonal stuff (ragweed etc etc). My reactions are frequently asthma related. I got allergy shots from 8-18 years old. I then stopped just because it was inconvenient to go. Over the past 5-6 years, it seemed my allergies were getting worse...

I received the Dell last night and am really excited. It seems like a really great machine. Very attractive with the red accents as well as light. Great having a backlit keyboard. I think this 15.6" model weighs less than my 2006 Lenovo R61 14" machine it's replacing. One screw to remove the...

The Dell came back in stock fulfilled by Amazon so I just snagged it for $785 after tax and my Prime card 5% discount.

Damn Price went from $780 to $899 overnight. Guess I will pass for now. Amazon went out of stock and it is only 3rd party seller now.

It won't be 'gamed' a lot but I wanted it to have some decent capability in that respect. It seems to have an available 2.5" dock where you can add in another SSD, which I already have. That sounded nice. My son will be using it mostly for school and when I let him play Minecraft with his...

What do you guys think of this laptop for $780 shipped after tax? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PYYDMQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=282VK02GLH4Q8&coliid=I1XYA33G420JBX&psc=1

The improvements from the new software sound great. I support whatever is easiest for you to manage, Doug, and appreciate all you do to maintain this community.

100% true with any electric. Is that news to you or do you have some elaborate environmentally controlled test procedure in mind to give what you consider a 'real world' rating?

Will - FYI The new Bolt will go 238 miles on a charge. http://www.wsj.com/articles/gm-says-chevy-bolt-electric-car-to-get-238-mile-range-1473770776

Yeah I think that is my next step. Christmas gift for them is already planned...just need to watch for a good deal on a big monitor with relatively low pixel density.

SO...I got another go at it but no luck. Was able to restart the machine in Safe Mode and install the new monitor. Could even adjust the screen resolution up and down a bit w/o trouble and reboot.....but only into Safe Mode. One thing I did note that as I was adjusting the resolution up...

I would get a cheap bike that nobody would want to steal. It's not like you really care if it is light weight or has the best parts. Just something that works good enough. Just my opinion!

Howdy Sed. I was more or less joking about the Prodigy I have. I already have some hardware I put inside it along with dual NICs. I will someday, when family life allows, try Untangle in it. So...I need to keep it. :)

It's actually waiting to be turned into an Untangle box if I ever get to it. :beye:

I have a Prodigy I am not really using anymore. Any takers?? ;)

Thanks Merc. I've had so little time to play with Win10 I didn't even know how to get into Safe Mode! I tried your suggestion on my own PC to see how it works. Everything was just as you said, except Low Res mode gave me 1024x768 on my machine. I expect even the most retarted monitor could...

Howdy - My Dad has a 20" 1920x1080 monitor. I decided to switch him to an old 22" 1680x1050 monitor I have because it would be easier for him to see everything. The system is about 5 years old. Sandy Bridge in an Intel H61 motherboard using integrated graphics. System has an SSD and runs...
