Do you have a folder or drive where you keep stuff you don't want to lose? Do you take precautions (multiple copies, redundancy, multiple locations, etc)?

Connectivity is going to be a major concern as well. As Lunar alluded to, even now newer storage interfaces are coming out. Also, the unknown risk of putting something offline on a shelf is, to me, unacceptable. I'll start another thread about this part of it...

Mine has 120k on it, and likely won't pass CA smog at this point. The absurd part of me wants to do an EV conversion with 700+ hp.

Evaluating the replacement of my Audi. Currently the main contenders are a new Golf R or a used Model S. Ideally spending not much more than $40k.

Other devices. I ended up making a mount for my phone in portrait mode to make it usable.

I don't feel comfortable calling an overclock stable unless I know how far from "the limit" it is. This involves finding the limit. Quite possibly. Good thought. I wish. Doing an OC is something I charge a flat rate for.

Mine are, which is a problem if you are trying to use LCD screens.

Trouble. I was doing a long-term test of the system after a final overclock. Left it on the bench overnight with very little load. Came in the next morning and the system was off. Turning it on causes the following: 1. No video 2. All three lights on the keyboard on solid and non-responsive 3...

The trick to making Amazon links work is to not use your own address bar. On the right side of the product page, above the "Add to Cart" button is a simple link called "Share". This will give you a URL that will work for everyone following it, whether they are logged in or not, or whatever...

I have a pair of full wrap-around sunglasses with my prescription in them and a pretty dark tint. I think Nike makes them, and they can fit a pretty thick lens without looking weird or feeling heavy. They live in my car, as the self-darkeining lenses work everywhere else. I think they were...

Even their smaller units would do that pretty easily. The main question then is how much antenna you'll need to use to acquire the source signal. On containers I typically bolt a 15' length of 2" schedule 80 pipe to the side and then mount the external antenna to the top of that. I bet the Home...

Cool, that implies that they'd be willing to sell it for a price. The dead guy wouldn't even return my messages.

It really depends on the size of the area you need to cover, and whether the source antenna can be reached using reasonable effort. I have their large system driving a pair of giant outdoor panel antennas and providing coverage to an acre or so including warehouses.

Thanks for looking it up, I'd forgotten you could do that...

I own ddrueding.com, I've wanted drueding.com. Which has been owned by the only other David Drueding on earth (well, formerly on the earth; there can be only one.) Distant uncle.

I've wanted a domain name for many years now, and the owner has never gotten back to me. He is now dead. I'd like a service to purchase this domain name for me as soon as it becomes available (might be years depending on how far into the future he paid for it). Does anyone here have...

Nah, I ordered it several days ago. It had a quantity of one, and I'm fairly confident it was me.

Thanks for that. You may notice that they are now out of stock. That may have been me.

I've had really good luck with equipment from a company now called. WeBoost They used to be known by another name that I can't remember at the moment. I've used many levels of their product between the car and full-building modes. Takes time to set up correctly and possibly some infrastructure...

Customer decided that they wanted me to do an overclock after all. Currently 4.4Ghz for the CPU, 2300 for the RAM, and 2.1/5.5 for GPU/Mem respectively. Still testing.

I can't see heating the NAS helping, Lunar.

Yup. We went through a case and a half of wine, a dozen or so beers, and about 1L of liquor distributed across 8 varieties. A buddy of mine used to be a bartender, so if anyone wanted anything crazy they would just ask him.

We had a full open bar, but with 18 guests it was just a table with a bunch of booze on it.

This is why I wrote exactly what I wanted the officiant to say, and insisted that they read it, and only it, during the ceremony. 5 minutes, tops.

That is what I figured. My hearing had taken quite a hit at the ball game (the luxury suites are tucked underneath the top stands, and redirects a lot of crowd noise into the room).

No idea. 2-3 years old and I never keep the receipts.

Just got back to the office from a trip to the Giants baseball game with the boss. Had too much to drink, and am now listening to music far too loud at my desk (at 1AM). The Adam A8X speakers actually feel like I have a fan on my desk blowing on me. Is this bad for them?

Lasik is on my short list. I normally pay $1k without insurance for my glasses, (plus another $700 for sunglasses) and they last a couple years before I bother to go back in for another appointment. The reason for the sunglasses is that my transition lenses do not change at all in the car. I...

Those who learned English as a second or third language (this includes my wife) construct some of the best puns and other word play.

Closed loop is fine. I'm not having an issue reading about it; I want to buy one right now, and can't find a reliable source. Really? That isn't the conclusions reviewers were reaching in earlier articles. I should do some more research.

Most of the people who used those in the later years flashed the firmware to one of many 3rd party alternatives. All of these allowed you to pretty crazy on the transmit power (well outside FCC regs)

Still haven't found a 1080 from a reputable seller that has more than the single 8-pin power connector. Based on the reviews, this seems to resolve a potential bottleneck in overclocking. I would love that card with the EK waterblock on it, but haven't found that either.

Let me step in and say you should get a Sony a7R II and FE 85/1.4 I can't say that I'm not tempted to switch over to the mirrorless game.

Of course, they aren't spending their own money...

It also has weird interactions with the print engine in Firefox, which occasionally likes to rotate and resize things.

I do wear glasses, but I haven't done any research on the different options out there. I normally just go to the optometrist, let their receptionist pick out the frames, and then say yes to every option offered. I should be getting a new pair soon, and look forward to any information your...

Yup, we've encountered this issue here as well. We print plans that have an actual scale on them that is supposed to relate to reality. I've left the machine in the copy room running Win7 for just this purpose.

Time to water cool. ;)

That company was mine. I'd negotiated the sale and left. The tech industry collapsed so completely immediately after I left that one of their escape clauses was triggered. Without guidance, the staff (~30) just kept paying themselves until they ran out of money.

This has never been an option for me. I did it once anyway, and the company literally ended up in bankruptcy before I returned 3 months later. Go team. Since then the longest I've been out of touch is the 12-hours I spend on a single flight.

The second case I went with allowed a full ATX power supply (I went with an AX760i). It also gave me enough space in the lower compartment (since the only thing there was the PSU) to bundle the miles of spare cable that this case did not require. The big thing that will make the next one...

I did the simple thing of 32" 4k to 42" 4k and it has changed my computer using position considerably.

Not really.

Most of the time it was just the power supply that failed. When there was a situation where reliability was paramount I'd put in a scientific power supply, strip the casing, attach a bunch of aftermarket heatsinks, and mount the board directly to the wall. Never had one of those fail.

My parents and I stopped talking when I made it clear that I wouldn't be attending college. That lasted about two years and since then we get along much better and very differently. I suppose changing gears on the fly can be difficult. My wife still has these issues.

Just a note on that stuff. It doesn't stick at all for about 3 minutes, and if it is moving at all during that time the bond will never be strong (so don't think you can hold it in place during cure). Also, it can be very strong if done correctly. The best way I've found to remove one after it...

With about a month to go I was able to make her very happy by letting her know we won The War against Hitler.

Yup. More than a little faint, I'd say. Possibly 10% still there for about 15 seconds? Other than a synthetic I must say I've never noticed any issues related to this.

IIRC, that service is required for the simple start->search of local programs.

English has no language authority. IIRC, only the French do this.
