Heath insurance through my employer, for a family or individual, is $99 per month. I pay 100% of everything except for preventive car (basically a physical) until I hit the $3,500 deductible (for a family). At that point I have a 10% copay up to my $5,600 out of pocket maximum. If I were an...

It's likely a complete urea injection system, then also package a DEF (diesel engine fluid - aka urea) tank etc. etc. It'll be a big tear up and the owner will have to monitor and maintain the DEF or the car will be forced into limp mode...

Got that turned on, already. Thanks!

It seems to me that the weak link in a system like LP is the integration with the browser. Are there any best practices or settings that can be useed to minimize browser related vulnerabilities when using LastPass?

My issue accessing the site from my work PC has been resolved. All I did is change some settings in Chrome to allow cookies (so I could used two-factor authentication for my google account without having to re-allow my PC every time I logged in). Maybe it is just coincidence but it's working...

Some are not quite so negative about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lastpass/comments/3oaa9k/just_bought_10_years_of_lastpass_to_lock_in_the/

Doug - Do you think your HTC phones dramatic drop in value is somewhat of a special case because of all the problems HTC has had over the years? I have done no research on it but it seems that HTC is being shunned by most. Naturally, getting it when it was brand spanking new at top MSRP didn't...

I'm currently using Google Authenticator which is free.

So I've moved to Lastpass and I'm liking it. The convenience is great and knowing that I have strong passwords on everything is reassuring. DD, have you considered any two factor authentication methods? I was looking at the yubikey but it seems like it might be a pita to use with a smart...

Interesting podcast on the breech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujDAYTXTpaM

I see that KeePass requires me to install software on my PC. This is ok for me at home but I'm prevented from doing so at work on my laptop. I do need to be able to access my password protected sites while at work. Does Lastpass have the same software installation requirement? Note: I am...

I'm thinking about taking the leap to a password manager. Cost is not a factor, within reason, but ease of use and security are important if course. The paid versions of Dashlane and Lastpass are on my shortlist. Anymore feedback on either? DD...what are your thoughts on Lastpass...

I had Grid2 installed but it would not launch properly on my machine for some reason and I could not play it. Luckily Steam lets you get a refund, which I did. From what I read, the original is more fun anyway, if I remember correctly. I have to agree it is fun to play and for the price you...

Bought Mad Max for $15 on Steam from cdkeys.com I am totally loving it. Only about 1/2 hour in but already worth the money. Love how fast Steam's servers are too! I like getting games this way...not having to deal with media etc. http://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/mad-max-pc

I score 10/10 when I have IPV6 support enabled on my router. I do currently disable IPV6, though, because I like to use the filtering capabilities of OpenDNS (their filtering does not work with IPV6 right now).

Spent $2.99 on Grid (racing game) for PC and am totally loving it. Many hours of fun and with my GTX970 I can crank everything up to max and it doesn't even break a sweat.

What's a good starter DSLR to go with my Sony dsc-rx100 that I could get used somewhere with a good telephoto lens (to use at my son's football games) ?

Gen two is in Production now. 2015's are on clearance!

Will - I got a pretty nice black leather Volt Development Team leather jacket I got for launching the first generation vehicle. I rarely wear it. You're welcome to have it if it interests you. I can also send you a copy of the IABC paper that we wrote on the body structure too of you'd like.

I found that disabling indexing for my HDD solved the thrashing. I'm sure it would have stopped after indexing was complete but I rarely use that feature.

I started with Win8 in my machine. I did the upgrade to Win10 to activate my Win10 upgrade. Shut the machine down. Swapped out all my drives. Did the Win10 fresh install (with the USB stick media) with the new, unformatted drives installed. Done.

My machine was built by me. Not OEM. Asus P8Z77V, i5 3570k, GTX970, 16GB RAM. As mentioned earler, after I did the 'upgrade' I removed my SSD (Crucial) and 3 HDDs (Seagate) and replaced them with 2 new HDDs (HGST) and a new SSD (Samsung) and then did the fresh install. No complaints about...

I don't think so because I used the same USB stick for my laptop as well as desktop. MSFT must save something about your hardware on their servers.

Upon initializing my two 4TB Hitachi disks in Win10, I was reminded that Windows Dynamic Disks allow mirroring, striping, spanning and even Raid 5. So I am mirroring the two Hitachi disks together. Seamless and easy.

So...I have upgraded to Win10 w/o any issues. I forced the upgrade using the media creation tool. I then replaced my 256GB Crucial M4 SSD with a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO. Also replaced the 3x Seagate 3TB drives with 2x Hitachi 4TB units. With that hardware installed, I fresh installed Win10...

My 3x 3TB Seagates are getting old and with Win 10 here, it is time for a storage system upgrade.. One Seagate had to be replaced for warranty. They other two have hit 300,000 load cycles. So, I would like to replace them. Most likely with 2x 4TB drives. I do not use RAID, but I do...

Ran my 300a to 504 but usually kept it at 464. :)

Damn I feel like buying two and reselling 1.

Still here but I will finally let the secret out. 44.

OUCH! Think I'll have to pass. :tdown:

I do everything in my desktop PC. It serves up Plex, holds all my crash plan backup sets for me and remote family members and does all other regular PC duties. Drive Pool works great for me but I was going Win10 Pro would have some of the storage features I like built in.

Does Win10 Pro have anything like drive pooling that allows control of file duplication etc. (like Drive Pool)?

Hehe. Yeah that sounds like just a bit more than a NAS. Nas....real Nas. :)

400w seems like a lot for NAS. Is it doing double duty as a distributed computing device?

I got Witcher 3 free with my GPU through GOG Galaxy. I have never played a game like this before but I am definitely enjoying it. I use an XBOX 360 controller plugged into my PC. I'm using a GTX970 and running it at 1920x1080 with just about all the eye candy turned on. It is a beautiful...

Both the phone and laptop can use the same WiFi. I tried both. The phone accesses SF no problem. The laptop no worky. Neither appears to be using the vpn. Must be something jacked with my laptop or the proxy server my laptop is configured to use. I don't believe the phone has any...

Same error when I type the ip in the browser. Unfortunately I don't have access to edit the hosts file. Weird how my phone is fine but not the pc.

Now that you mention it. ..I time out when I try to ping www.google.com or www.gm.com, too. Actually for gm.com the ip address does not resolve correctly so I used a website to find the ip address and pinged it that way.

I'm doing this on my phone, with mobile data turned off and connected to work WiFi. But if I try to access the site on my Windows 7 laptop (wired) with either IE or Chrome no worky. My laptop is totally locked down so I can't install anything. I did /flushdnsand cleared all browser...

For some reason, I cannot access the site from work. Issue seems to have started with the migration to the new host but I can't be 100% sure of it. Attached is the error I get. I get the same thing whether I am at work or connected to work via VPN from home. Works from my work phone, even...

It's probably just what is called 'interruptable service'. For example, if I wanted to, I could have my AC unit placed on a separate meter that is controlled by the power company. During times of high load, they can turn it off (remotely) if they want to. For me giving the power company this...

Right but I believe the rate is lower for some tier of monthly use. After that it goes up to something like 16 cents per kwh. It's been a while since I checked the actual rates.

Just did a copy paste of my electric company website. :)

Wow. Electricity is expensive over there. Here are my bills for the past year in my 2100 SF Ranch.

Also, if you want to use the idea of this reducing your electricity cost to your local utility during the day (during peak usage time) and having it recharge at night....I believe you have to have one of the 'Smart' electric meters installed on your house that can track your usage by time of...

No competition for a natural gas whole house generator, which is what I would want.

Sed... Sorry to hear about your tough times. Hope things look up for you as soon as possible.

I hope that it isn't him but it seems to make sense that it is. I always remember that he was always intent on helping people. A little bit gruff at times but always trying to solve the problem and going out of his way to do it. Loved his ID which was the model of a Gateway computer. He will...

Whatever happened to P5-133XL? Anybody got a clue? No posts since August 2014?

Yes. My point exactly.
