Dorco handles and blades are on Amazon now. The price is certainly a big step in the right direction.

I finally found an SSD that's failing gracefully. It's a three year old Corsair Force 3, sitting at about 20% health according to SMART data. It's giving errors on (most) writes but the whole disk has absolutely no read errors. Also, I've been able to buy 240GB SSDs for under $100 all week. I...

It's 55 degrees here on the south tip of Lake Michigan today. The winter was so cold the lakes haven't really warmed up yet.

This would be the point where something like a FreeAgent Theater, WD TV Live or Boxee Box would be worth a lot more than a Chromecast. Anyway, yeah. You could install XBMC and configure an XBMC remote to run that off your tablet. It would be pretty straightforward.

The RAM isn't soldered on. It's in an internal socket that IIRC is under the keyboard where it's a PITA to get to, but not inaccessible. And if you have a Latitude from that era with Intel video, count yourself lucky. The versions that had the nVidia graphics were born to die because of a...

Never mind. I'm confused. You'd need the laptop on the same WLAN as the Chromecast for that to work. So everything would have to run through your phone. Which would probably run about two hours unless it was plugged in to AC power. You'd be better off just plugging you laptop straight in to an...

Is your phone either rooted or supported by Foxfi/PDAnet?

Thunderbird on Windows underlines and changes color immediately after you add the link, if you use the "Add link" button instead of just pasting in the address. I suspect that it's not being marked up as a link because the editor is relatively simple and doesn't look for content to mark up, but...

I don't think that's because of Plex but just because the Chromecast wants one when you first start it up? I haven't had mine plugged in for a while but the first thing it does is demand a connection to a WLAN.

I have a cover for my lens, but since I live along one of the busiest travel corridors in the midwest (Interstates 80, 94 and 65 are all within a few miles), I try to confine myself to surface streets. People do stupid things on the expressways. I really only wear the cover when I'm driving...

Does your Chromecast just not have an internet connection?

Probably the RAID0 of 4TB SSDs.

1366x768 is basically the mark of laptop (or desktop monitor, I guess) shitty-ness, but it's incredibly common now as a low-cost display option. I tell people to look for 900 vertical pixels at a minimum, because the thing you don't want is to have some legacy application with a window that...

I'm not sure I understand the problem. The messages are sent as HTML unless you have recipients marked for text only or change your default settings. Most people use only the most basic of formatting, which the software on the other side will render as appropriate for the client. Which is what...

Of course, that also brings in to question the actual value of the enterprise stuff. I suspect a lot of places have $1000 Cisco APs that could do just as well with $50 Netgear models.

There's no actual treatment. I have done a lot of tests to see if I have other problems, but nothing can be done for my eye. If it doesn't get better on its own, I can elect to use a specially curved lens for my glasses that will prevent the overlap in my vision, but doing so will more than...

For what it's worth, the Synology NAS does have some network-based file sharing features that become available if they're exposed directly to the internet. They can do WebDAV and FTP with relatively little configuration. It's definitely not out of the question that a small business would have...

I don't think we should be at all surprised that a prepackaged storage solution like a Synology NAS would have swiss cheese security. I'm kind of impressed that somebody could make that much money cryptocoin mining on a bunch of Atom CPUs.

Amazon's internal return policies are really simple. In most cases, they just give you your money back and pay for return shipping. In rare cases, they charge you a restocking fee. I really never buy electronics from third parties selling through Amazon and straightforward returns and fast...

The AMD 5350 APU looks relatively credible for a budget consumer system. Looks like you could build a low-power/low noise rig with a 120GB SSD for maybe $250.

Apparently, something that WHS and WHS2011 can't do is back up Windows 8 with GPT disks. Those backups just fail. There's supposed to be a patch but didn't seem to help for my clients. That's pretty aggravating given that's more or less the only reason I've deployed WHS.

Towelroot is apparently a universal Android Root tool. It uses a Linux kernel vulnerability, so there's no mucking around with boot loaders. Probably not the best news for overall Android security, but it's convenient.

The utter lack of warning of failure on the 840 is definitely in line with my experiences.

Actually, the IDEAL would be "present my user interface on whatever screen is closest to hand, including the audio component", but I'd just take audio as a start. I'm sure I could rig up something with X10 gear that would work inside a home, but control over home automation hardware is either...

Those guys are talented videographers, but if you're using crane and helicopter shots and have shit tons of money wrapped up in cameras, lighting and stabilized mounts, you're probably to be able to pull off some pretty nice projects. Those Lindsey Stirling videos, shot on site in New Zealand...

I have an account at this site and they have products appropriate for your needs.

That's not really the case. I still can't drive anyplace and reading is a pain in the ass.

I found a studio that's producing porn content in 4k. That's mildly interesting if only because, other than a few clips on Youtube or Vimeo or one particular S*ny streaming device that only works with S*ny TVs, there's no commercial source for 4k content. Porn still sits at the forefront of new...

Back to mubs's link: I have no idea how to prove or disprove the functionality of the product. Exploits are by their nature generally not well known or documented outside the communities for which they are a primary concern. If I install an anti-exploit package and I continue to not be impacted...

Functionally, Songcast doesn't do anything that I can't already do with Plex or XBMC.

I make maybe $150/month with a colocated i7-2770 that has five virtual desktops and an Act database on it. I'm 45 minutes from the datacenter, so I can go fix it if need be and if I really HAD to I could bring the whole system up in my apartment in about 20 minutes. The big problem here is that...

Amazon's offering is missing at least one of the major labels. For most people, it's going to be functionally incomplete. It's probably a lot easier for a small player to strike up licensing deals, even if those deals are somewhat disadvantageous. The small player can be acquired and a bigger...

As far as I know, there's no such thing as real-time malware removal. The only thing that paid versions of Malwarebytes do is update automatically. It's possible to immunize against known theats, which is why I install both Spybot and Spywareblaster and combine them with Adblock Plus on all...

I'm thinking about turning sources on and off as I move around. Right now, I can send local content to a specific device in a specific room via Plex (or XBMC, depending). Which is cool all by itself. But the cooler thing would be a relatively seamless handoff between receivers so that for...

Looks like it is to me.

I suppose that would depend on your needs. FreeBSD or OpenSolaris with two four-disk RAIDZs and a pair of caching SSDs each? That's some pretty serious hardware. A hypervisor with one dedicated core and each 3.5" bay as an independent disk per guest? Storage Spaces on a Windows Server...

I've spent a while the last couple days trying to figure out a way to script bluetooth audio device changeover. The AVRs in my bedroom and living room support bluetooth directly. I have MPOW receivers in my bathroom and back bedroom. GPS doesn't have enough sensitivity for so small a space and...

Apparently that enclosure would pretty much have to be mated with an Asrock C2750D4I in order to fully utilize both the chassis and the motherboard. I'm just going to have to find and excuse to try that.

Amazon just added free music streaming for Prime Members. This might explain why the FireTV's music offerings were somewhat lackluster.

... back to that comment about ITX boards not having enough SATA ports.

Stick it in a colo. I bet you could make $1000/month just hosting Sharepoint or something.

Schneier.com comes up for me and if Facebook was generally broken on any browser it would be international news. Self-absorbed moms and frat boys everywhere would be inconsolable.

I bought three more. I was shipped two 64GB models and 1 32GB. They're all two-tone white and grey, but since this borders on too good to be true, I actually verified all three. They write at about 50MB/sec and read back at just under 80MB/sec, but all three passed verification.

I'd concur that there's something else. Maybe you've got a plug-in that isn't closing cleanly? But I am seeing that Firefox on my two main systems is spending a lot more time around or at the 2GB RAM mark. I don't care all that much since I pay for the RAM so that I can use it, but on the other...

My standard practice is just to keep one of whatever the cheapest and oldest socket-compatible thing is on hand for BIOS flashes (a Sandy Bridge Pentium G for 1155, say). I went through this a couple years ago with brand new boards lacking support for Ivy Bridge CPUs. In fact, I just ran in to...

I need about 20GB to store good sysprep image and another ~6GB for different versions of MS Office. All of the drives I bought have at least that much stuff on them and all of them have been used to restore that data at least a couple times.

A company called BuyDig.com is offering Lexar 32GB USB3 thumb drives for $12 on Ebay. I bought a couple and they came in the same obnoxious retail packaging as the ones I've seen at Microcenter.
