Thanks DD. I must look into this.

How so? Wouldn't the light be all over the place, including, most importantly, aimed at one's eyes?

I thought incandescents weren't being sold in the US anymore?

As far as I know, Synology is more of a consumer NAS, not for heavy duty professional use. It is possible that it was connected to a switch/router for internal access, inadvertently also exposing it to the Internet without intending to do so or understanding the implications. Most everything...

Hacker infects Synology storage devices, makes off with $620,000 in Dogecoin Exploiting bug in Supermicro hardware is as easy as connecting to port 49152

:-D

She looks quite naughty, all right.

It's never white or black, just shades of gray. Wasn't heuristics a big deal a few years back? Doesn't all malware have some common characteristics? I've had it running for a couple of days, and there is no noticeable system slowdown, so I'll just leave it running for now. Perhaps, just...

OT, but thought it better to put it here. MalwareBytes has released a free and paid version of Anti-Exploit.

Duh. One is supposed to uncheck, not check the boxes. Some were checked by default, and I checked them all, thinking only the later file types were enabled. After unchecking them all, can open the files. Sorry for the hair-trigger.

I'm on Office Pro 2010. I have some old Word docs created in 1997 and later - various versions of Word. I cannot open any of them; I get a pop-up Window as follows: At the top of the window, in gray background (cannot copy to paste here) it says: You are attempting to open a file type (Word 2...

I ain't no spring chicken, and I messed up the average too :king:

Schneier.com comes up with FF for me as well.

You're getting old! I found it interesting.

I've been seeing a fair bit of "Firefox is already running". This used to be a problem some years back, but they fixed it. Now there's a relapse.

What Merc said. What DD said in his last 2 posts. I too have nothing to hide, and lead a simple colorless life. I'm only concerned about hackers / physical theft. What I encrypt are my financial records, address books and pics. I'm on 7.1a. I'll just stay on it till I have to upgrade the OS...

Oddly, though, I read that Toyota has announced that they are backing off from electric and going the hydrogen / fuel-cell route since they believe it is the future. This after their electrics bombed in the market.

That would be to exercise his eyelids. (Coug, if I insulted you with such a small weight, please forgive me)

When my daughter was about 5 or 6 (a dozen years ago), I told her and my wife that there was so much to learn in the world nowadays that it was impossible to keep up. What was more important was to know where to find necessary info, and how to teach oneself. If one can master this ability...

FF was my favorite and most trusted browser. Now it's a pig; sluggish as hell. And I don;t have a low-end machine. Using Chrome more and more nowadays. It is true. All good things do come to an end

No lights in the stall? All I see is a very very bad still pic with an outline of a pregnant horse. It's like an extremely grainy digital pic. Of course there's a ~ 12 hour time difference between you and me ...

Merc, glad you chimed in. You might get better care in a larger city. Do think about this. It will be disruptive no doubt, but you want to get this straightened out. Or are you already seeing docs in Chicago? And an A1C of 6.4 is no big deal. It can stay there for a loooong time if you...

Thanks Lunar & Nitsirk. I can understand his frame of mind. I do hope he gets well soon.

Same here :(

Good Luck!

Thanks Striker. I do remember your post on it. In fact, it's highly praised on a lot of forums. At this moment, not sure it'll be helpful for me, since I rarely turn on features I don't normally use. If this changes, I'll download it.

Strangely it ties in with his "Mooner" handle ... I already have :beer:

Don't listen to SD, Handy, he'll corrupt you and turn you into a flashaholic.

Congrats Handy. Now keep a watch out for any potential mischief by the other original caps.

Awesome stuff. Thanks SD.

Ships from and sold by AZPerfume !

Nope, don't bother. Videos and photos are next to useless because the eye perceives brightness very differently. I'll take your word for it ;-) Maybe someday I'll get one; was always interested in these variable output lights.

Data is expensive here, and also drains the battery. In my Android phone, everything is turned off by default. I will selectively enable wi-fi, or GPS + data as needed, and turn those off as soon as I don't need them. Not on FB, Twitter, etc., so I have no need for data being on always. I...

Is the light output truly variable and linear?

Thanks Clocker. Bought a new car barely a year ago, not replacing it anytime soon unless I stumble into that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! I have a Fiat Linea (it's sold in very few countries) with a 1368cc turbocharged petrol. Turbo starts kicking in by about 1900 rpm and by 2200 it...

Yuk. Classic Theme Restorer, here I come. It appears to be change for change's sake - the disease of the modern world. Even if something is just perfect, change it. Software, cars, appliances. Sheesh. Perhaps it's the designers who feel they're useless unless they leave their imprint on something.

What are people's opinions of turbo vs normally aspirated engines? I'm owning a turbocharged engine for the first time, and have mixed feelings. The power when the turbo kicks in is awesome, the sluggishness till it does is not. I guess this is because of the air intake design? The very design...

Everybody tells me Hitachis are rock solid, whatever the product - air conditioner, refrigerator, TV, other appliances. My limited experience with their products makes me agree.

Neat!

I like how they describe it!

She's going to pour hot tea on your head when you've dozed off in the armchair.

Because a sealed beam headlamp is nothing but a huge bulb, it is possible to very precisely locate the filament for the desired near perfect light beam. Modern advancements in technology and manufacturing may have negated this advantage though.

Even though this equipment is not customer facing and does not justify having redundant cooling, I'm stupefied that there is no overheat alarm of some kind (pager, sms, etc.) to lab management personnel so that they can determine if an orderly shutdown is warranted. To just let the equipment...

Or worse, CO.

I suspect apart from thermal insulation, they will have good acoustic insulation properties too, eh? There seems no end to your talents!

More efficient LED lightbulb, origami-like.

That's pretty impressive. The Malibu I rented in 2005 on an East Coast trip gulped more fuel than my V6 Camry back home, but I guess GM has improved their act since then.

840 USD here at current exchange rates!

Probably the effect of cache. Some programs are probably fooled by it because of the algorithm they use.

Having two appliances will also significantly increase power consumption. That would be a big deal in some parts of the world. Also, these things are getting more and more efficient all the time, pushed by mandates from governments.
