I see those discoid devices in various buildings and the wiring is in the ceiling. I'm sure they are fine for just the internet About a year after my system, they had something different with the AX vs the AC, but the other parts are altogether and I don't like some of them. Meanwhile, the...

Maybe they can run some city cold water like air conditioning in the summer. ;)

So I've learned that the orientation matters quite a bit. I don't understand the designs of the Wi-Fi, exepct maybe they are more for artistic or ergonomic than functional reasons. The Wi-Fi is much better when it is broadside to the receiving device. After relocating the Wi-Fi so that only...

The problem is that they are still not getting the point that many people don't want a silly recovery partition and just don't want the error message.

https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/03/microsoft_windows_recovery_environment/ TL;DR MS is not going to fix that bug. :(

I don't use my laptops wirelessly at home, not even my work laptop. I have USB adapters, either 1GbE or 2.5GbE, but my networks for the internet and NASes are strictly separate. The Fibros is 1Gb so it works fine on the cheaply 1GbE switches. Temporarily I've decided to run the RG6 and...

The torpology is ridiculous. The RG6 cable goes from ONT (splitter) into the Wi-Fi and main STB, and the RJ45 cable also goes from the ONT to the Wi-Fi. They do that on purpose so that you must rent it to get video to the RJ45, not to mention replays from the main STB and other stuff, even if...

From what I read the mesh stuff doesn't work well with my Fibros Wi-Fi router, which is necessary for video. So buying two Wi-FI systems would be excessive. I'm debating to just move the main Wi-Fi, but there are a lot of cables (AC, RJ45, and RG6) that would have to go across a doorway. I am...

Of course we are now totally off of the topic, but I meant like the Natural Gasses. Electric tankless is good for a sink or something.

Pretty much everything is becoming a service. Of course there are strong business reason for that regardless of the negative impact to individual users. Unless you can develop a better model, it will be difficult to sell the 20th century mentality in the 2020s.

I'm going to try to add a small Wi-Fi device specifically for the S9 FE galactic tablet. As I mentioned here the Fibros wi-fi is struggling through the walls and items. https://www.storageforum.net/forum/threads/which-tablets.9227/page-8#post-214824 I have 1GbE ethernet on several switches in...

Did you ever build a radiator into the door? I'm surprised they don't use tankless water heaters in Europe.

Who wants to listen to some kind of angry fool? There is no credibility.

As you know, power is a real limit for many home users in the states. You can't get 2kW from NEMA 5-15 and most 1500VA UPS are actually in the 1000W range on battery. I suppose there are some options for NEMA 5-20, but that usually requires rewiring and a permit. I'm not sure how often both a...

I suppose they will argue that there is enough competition that you d on't need to use MS if the T&C are not to your liking. Most of the CA suits are because a product does (or does not do) something in the T&C and that you were not informed about it.

Yes for now, but I assumed the concern is that the nagging will be changed to a mandatory requirement.

So if I deliberately invalidate the HEllO and discard the account activation email address, then can I use the traditional password method and unencrypt the C: partition? Can I change the password and do everything normally, or do I need to log in with the email and PW and be online? I clear...

There are normally two image sensors, one for tricolor visible light and one for IR to confirm that the head is real. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/windows-hello-face-authentication

From what I understand the Hello only works with laptops. Assuming the email is gone and a PIN is not developed, can one just use a PW like in the old days? Or does it communicate something with the MS? Maybe using MS is a form of demetia itself?

I am still confused. Normally I have no password or PIN for Win 10. I set a PW for a travel laptop, but not a PIN. In Win 11 I have to know the PIN and PW for each computer?

So the PIN is per computer/ssd and the account is for the user tracking? Do you need to log in with the PIN every time?

So that means the computer has to be connected to the internet forever after that? :( I'm thinking of only connecting the computer online every month or so and wiping/restoring it each time. I'm pretty much done with the Topaz or any software that needs internet all the times.

The Wi-Fi is near the entry of the Fibros so there are like 2-3 walls and some electrical stuff between us. My cellphone charging area is in line of sight so it downloads OK. I definitely don't need much speed for the tablet, but it hovers around 20Mb, sometimes up to 100 or down to 10...

Isn't that what they are already doing unless you take extra measures to disable that?

The email and web are now in use and working fine. The battery life is quite good with minimal use, so I will leave it on and charge about every week. I discovered that the fingerprinter is in the power button. Unfortunately it is one very poor design that mostly reads incorrectly and often...

For some reasons I noticed that nAS is unnaturally slow for file deletions. For example, deleting ~93,000 files of about 3.7GB takes forever in Windows and is faster, but still quite slow on the NAS itself. In Windows it literally takes just seconds to delete from local drives, the longest...

I surely have no need to play the Battlelmage in 2024 (or ever ;)). I'm just wondering what will better than what I have in the 300W power range and strictly 3 slots, especially if the Zen 5 is a drop-in replacement.

So when will we see the 5070 or TI series?

The 1TB Hynix Platinum P41 was $78 in January and now is $100. It's still one of the better drives with a higher TBW than most and a 5-year warranty.

Even the 860 EVOs were quite good. My 500GB 870 EVO crapped out after a low TBW. Nobody knows why, but I think they are made with cheaper components since the 2020s. The WD Blue SA510 is QLC and so slow that the write speed drops to 200s MB/sec. after the SLC buffer; that is just terrible and...

There is now Topaz Photo AI 3.0.

Presumably AI will be fully integrated into Win 12 as a baseline hardware requirement.

I'm not understanding how some illegal ID is a good example. In most countries you are expected to have an official ID of some kind, but the item is not relevant without validity being checked. Obviously Leo only have limited resources and can't deal with all crimes.

I don't think any are reliable. I've had failures with WD and Samsung sSDs recently. The newer drives are mostly made like crap in the 2020s.

If anyone wanted to see my pass port they better have a legal reason to do so, like representing a government or being involved in visa/travel for ex US. I'm sure there are plenty of frauds involving 2FA.

I don't recall new HDDs being $13/TB or $35/TB for SSDs. Are those some low-end web specials or high volume OEM pricing rather than median values?

So about a 25-33% hike for SSDs in general is normal? I recently read that somehow we all need AI computers, and industry must run AI also. I wonder if it is really transformational or partly a scam to sell more SSDS, RAM, video cards, etc.?

The prickes seem to be out of control. It's now https://www.cdw.com/product/micron-6500-ion-ssd-enterprise-30.72-tb-u.3-pcie-4.0-x4-nvme-ta/7467127 $4100. The slighter older model 6500 Ionic was only ~$3200. I'm not sure the different part numbers are relevant to the high costs.

TBI vs dementia, hmmm. If you have some words or numbers that the victim might use, can the AI password tools help enough? It;s better than brute force and I'm guessing you don't have a quantum system to work any faster.

You act like that is a bad thing. If any Bozo could get into my encrypted computer How much and how old is the work on his computer? If he was on dementia the past few years, maybe it is not so valuable.

That's not a Windows problem. Security is working as expected, which is a good thing. :) It's a human data management problem. What if he died from a heart attack or a road accident? What if the drive failed? If the data is so valuable, then perhaps you can find a company that applies AI...

Your written communication is quite good, so there is no need for AI nonsense.

If you know something well you should be able to clearly explain and justify it to others. You don't manage or mentor people at all in your positions over the years? Does someone else train your staff?

I agree. A business document should follow a common template that has been pre-approved if necessary. It's not a good place for "creative AI" writing. :LOL: If AI bots have access to confidential or secret info, it can be a bad news scenario since usage generally does not include enforceable...

I'm talking specifically about the "wide narrow" type of AI, which seem to be at odds.

Are there any viable 3rd party File softwares?

Do you guys all work with Wide Narrow AI? Is this one of the tools that will be replacing us?

I have a cheap Chinese case of the Amazon. I may get a better case around 2025. Email will be on there, once I figure out how to get it from the phone. I don't use my g-mail at all except to have an Androids account. :( The display is not adjustable on the LUT and any adjustments are reducing...

The display is adequate for basic use, but out of control. There is some kind of S-level pen that makes no sense. The size and weight are excessive for handheld use, but it will be on the folders case in landscape mode. I am more than a little annoyed that the Samsung is constantly making...
