This is only useful in the situation were you are using your ISP's email service. Typically, the user account/password for both account administration and email are the same, ergo if someone has your password extracted from your email client, they could potentially login into the customer...

It looks like AT&T are updated their authentication technology for direct connections, either: a, update to a client that support OAuth authentication, OR b, create a Secure Email Key and use this in lieu of your normal password when configuring IMAP/POP3 access in your current email client...

The person who said they are "using the computer for completely legitimate purposes". ;)

ARM has always been about efficiency... and unfortunately underwhelming performance... This changes that viewpoint. The closest I could find is a Supermicro X10SDV-6C-TLN4F-0 for US$699. There is a Supermicro X10SDV--2C-TLN2F-O for US$369 on newegg, but its CPU isn't in the same performance...

Oh, the C&T 65545 datasheet: http://www.phys.szote.u-szeged.hu/bbalazs/bb/lcd/65545.PDF

Are you sure you have the T2130CS and not the T2130CT? According to this, the CS only has a 256 color display, the CT has a 64K color display... I suspect the VBIOS would have limits on mode selection reflecting this. Also the C&T 65545 is nothing more than a glorified RAMDAC, so I wouldn't...

POTS = Plain Old Telephone Service Essentially, the router will include a VOIP ATA in it, and you plug you old handset into the POTS port, and now your phone voice service is running on an IP based service (aka VOIP) instead of POTS/PSTN/ISDN, etc...

Lightning for Thunderbird (which is the calendar component) has come along way recently. I've had no issues with email invites or pop-up reminders in a long time. (I did read of an issue if the calendar is CalDAV based, you need to configure source location of email invites to be sent if...

My thoughts exactly.... I personally use Thunderbird, w/POP3 from gmail, IMAP from Office365, IMAP for another outlook.com account and have done IMAP to several other now defunct email providers (including mailcity.com and hotmail.com pre-MS), calendar sync with gmail, contact sync with...

Yep, she's getting pretty bad out there... My family and I safe for the moment. (We're in the northern most part of the hinterland, north of Tamborine). The daily smoke haze and constant smoke smell is getting a bit tiresome though... Our only hope is for calmer winds, and rain, neither which...

What features of Outlook do you need that's keeping you on the platform?

Office 2007 was the major release where it became the default, but Office 2003 did have XML based document formats (precursors to now standard docx format).

I'm not surprised about not supporting Windows 7 (EOL is 14-Jan-2020), but Windows 8.1 was a little surprising. I can only think of, that Windows 8.1 has already reached End of Mainstream Support (9-Jan-2018), but its EOL is till a few years away (10-Jan-2023). At home, we get Office365 sub's...

?? The actual NAME of the product contains the recording technology ?? 18TB CMR - Conventional Magnetic Recording 20TB SMR - Shingled Magnetic Recording ?? Also super clear in the linked datasheets on the technology being used ??

Nope...

The way MS are pushing, they want you to use their cloud offerings. A typically small business setup (5-10 desktops), would be a single onsite server (2019EE) running AD, DNS, DHCP and file services, AD is setup in a federated Azure AD connection for backup, email is handled via Office365...

Even that has changed recently... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup?view=sql-server-2017

No, you're not missing anything... If you only need 5 odd instances, then yes it's cheaper. But then you need to maintain those individual instances, vs just 1 shared terminal server environment (in respect to applications, updates, licenses, etc), not to mention memory/RAM load as well. Yep...

Sorry for the late-ish reply, sorry, you'll need to pony up the $$ for Server Standard to access terminal services. RDS is still available in 2019EE, but it's limited to admin only (comparing the registry between 2019EE and Std shows virtually no differences in registry keys around RDS, so it's...

I've done from tablet internal SD card to external HDD on a tablet via USB and it worked fine. (External HDD was formatted exFAT, and used external power). The tablet had ES File Explorer pre installed, so used that to copy. So I don't see why using an external SD card reader + external HDD...

I see your flame thrower and upgrade to 40mm grenades... (with options as either 12ga or 81mm packages). http://soldiersystems.net/2019/05/24/sofic-19-defendtex-drone-40/

Possible upgrade option?

Impressive... The altitude record for a helicopter is 42,500ft, and prop UAVs have reached 67,000ft+... Temps sounds about right (from memory) for that altitude... Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_altitude_record

IIRC, humans have been adding honey to booze for several thousand years now. (Pottery from Europe dated back to ~2500BC have traces of Mead w/honey used as the sugar have been found. Samples from China date from over 7000BC - IIRC this was a rice wine with honey).

Picked up a 4 pack of Bee Mead the other day... Quite a tasty, yet sweet mead... Went well with the baked fish and mash potatoes.

Thanks for the heads up... The reason for a lot of these new nonsensical company and/or product names, is that most if not all other common names are already trademarked or are unable to be trademarked for being too common. Similar with registration of Company/Business names internationally...

Personally, currently none. I know work uses Melbourne IT, due to needing *.au addresses. Edit: Forgot to add, MelbourneIT are not cheap...

Our autumn and winter this year has been so mild, most of our local birds have continued mating and raising offspring in winter. Most of our flowering trees (we have quite a few bottle-brushes) have continued to flower as well...

And.... you're correct... And no mention of what he/she went with either?

@sd, I think LM was implying he was installing the hidden cams there for his own use...

My only recommendation would be either the Dell Optiplex 3070 mini with 5yr onsite warranty, or the HP EliteDesk 800 with 3yr onsite warranty... Note, both Dell and HP offer all-in-one variants, and small form factor variants of the above as well. The reason I point these models out, is the...

Oh the old days of having to tinker to make things work... Not as bad as having to set IRQ/DMA settings via jumpers on ISA cards and ensuring you had no conflicts... And then setting a whole stack of environment variables to let the various drivers/libraries know where the devices were...

IIRC WinNT4 could be really picky about UDMA modes for controllers and drives, you could try limiting the SD/IDE adaptor to PIO4 mode? (My system at the time would hang 95% of the time during boot when UDMA33 was enabled in NT4, otherwise UDMA worked fine with Linux, so I know it wasn't...

The problem with those "cheap" licenses, is that you may not be sure exactly what license you are getting? Is it OEM (digital), retail (digital), a volume license key, a technet/MSDN key... Further reading: https://www.howtogeek.com/392080/cheap-windows-10-keys-do-they-work/

Not at all, just the situation is not very clear for the consumer. As @time pointed out, a lot of motherboards and cheap video cards lack HDMI 2.0 needed for 4K@60Hz. To get 4K@60Hz working via HDMI, you need to pay close attention to exactly what is being offered on the motherboard and video...

I remember doing this (back in the day when I was still running my P233MMX based system with NT4**), a lot of that games had weird checks for OS version and would fail to run despite having everything that was needed. Most complained about not being WIn98... Also note, you'll also need gfx...

I think the point is, that 4K displays are now an option for most users, but the lack of support for them (esp when using HDMI) is disappointing. (Prices are now becoming reasonable for 4K, multiple options for under AU$400, or 4K TVs for less than AU$600 in the 50-60" size).

@time, cheap in the US... As you and I know, expensive in the land of Oz... (The cheapest I could find was AU$149 for Windows 10 Home x64 OEM DVD, MS official pricing is AU$225.) I did find cheaper licenses, but all appeared "too cheap"...

I just had a quick look as well, and it really does appear to be bit of a sh*t show when using the IGP. From what I can gather, Intel and motherboard manufacturers simple skimped on their HDMI implementations, relying on add-in GPUs to provide 4K@60Hz support... The only saving grace on the...

Those that don't learn history are doomed to repeat it... or something like that...

Seagate has had a history of using multiple heads at once (Barracuda 2HP). One could look at recent patents filed by / awarded to Seagate to see if there is anything publicly available about how they are handling it. Source: https://redhill.net.au/d/d-o.html

I have seen this myself on some systems... My understanding is that MS changed some of the rules of when feature updates are pushed, for example they are not pushed if the users relies on the automatic updates feature and never goes into the control panel and manually checks for updates. Also...
