Hi I'm always getting forms made in .PDF that require me filling them out. Mainly from doctors. Does anyone have a program that works to fill out forms that doesn't cost a monthly tuition fee? I just got done filling out a form with PDFFiller, and at the end, it asks me for a subscription...

Hi I hardly ever play games. That said, the current gaming market is new, different, and crazy. I'm after a first person, stand alone shooter, that doesn't require steam, or works. That said, what does anyone play,, what do they think of the current games, and what suggestions do you have? So...

Hi Thanks to DD, and a 400 dollar discount, I now have an OLED monitor. What is the best software for displaying UHD movies? Been using VLC, but I thought support stopped in 2022?? Thanks GS

I was just diagnosed with CTS in both arms. Anyone else have it, and have any solutions? Wake up with numbness in one or the other hands. Sometimes hands just go numb. Left can be so bad I can't feel if I've pressed down enough to activate the mouse buttons. Been using a cold pack for a wrist...

I decided why go with disposable batteries? Rechargeables are the way to go. I bought a bunch of Chinese NIMH and Lions through Amazon. Charged them with cheap chargers, put them in, and they failed pretty quickly. Only way I could tell is the Bluetooth stuff in Win 10 showing the mouse % for...

It appears they might have actually made Linux useable on a Chromebook: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3314739/chrome-os/how-to-use-linux-apps-on-chrome-os.html giving it a shot now. Using Acer Chromebook, 15.6

For two weeks, we have had air so bad going outside was dangerous to your health. Consistently over 150 on the air quality health scale, with a high of 296 in our area, if you went outside, you started feeling sick, coughing, screwed up your lungs. Worst since 1965 in my experience, worst ever...

So, it finally died. Keyboard is gone, hard drive, though replaceable, is clicking, and starts sometimes. GPU is too slow to play Xfinity streaming service, etc. Not worth fixing, or trying to upgrade. So: Been looking at Panasonics, but, they are again almost all 1000 dollars for what I'm...

Seems to be a bit easier to find stuff then 7. Some stuff is embedded, deeper, and many pull down menus forward. So far, so good. No irrational stuff on my end...

Hi I have an aging Nexus 5X that I use for Uber, Lyft, and GPS apps. I'm looking for something faster and more reliable. I have been looking at the Android One Moto X4,400, and considering a Pixel 2,650. Those are the only phones I have considered, due to Google Fi limitations. Google Fi, so...

Hi Which, why, cost,speed, reviews?

Hi Time to rebuild. I have a LOT of hard drives. Like to be able to move data between drives, and, need a LOT of multiple removable hard drive bays. Suggestions for cases that support the max number of hard drive bays, and don't sound like jet engines? Suggestions for server cases that would...

What does everyone think of A7? Comments, etc? Today, I tried to setup my gf's phone to use text, and it was not easy using Hangouts. Nexus 5X may have been the best value ever in a Google Fi phone, for the briefest period of time, ever. Got one, and it's pretty amazing...

Hi Finding the drum is problematic, and, the DR 520 is around 150-200 dollars. We use it for copying, and some printing. Just bought a new toner cartridge. It's primary purpose is copying, since we have two other printers. So what I really need is a copier that is cost effective. Suggestions?

SO BLESSED FOR SO LONG. THX ALL

Pretty darn good for a mechanical drive. This is noticeable from my other big drives, that run about 120 and 150 MB/sec.

Looking for a 4-6 TB mechanical storage drive, best value, starting tomorrow, due to BF specials. Suggestions?

One of the tools to use if your getting a good value on your purchase is what are the profits and financial statements of the companies you are buying products from? My view is I want the lowest profit company, in that area of product, that is still well designed. So, does anyone have figures...

Hi DD suggested project Fi for power users. So far, here is my evaluation: Rates: 20 flat unlimited, Data for 10 @ 1GB. Potential to cut my 55.00 a month Sprint bill in half, but, doesn't include taxes, and extra charges. DD, can you ask your inlaw that has Fi what kind of extra charges...

Hi I'm going to give Ting a try. I'm paying 60 dollars a month for Sprint. With my use patterns, Ting says my bill should be around 23.00 a month. I just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S3 for 130 dollars from them. This is for my girlfriend that hardly ever uses her phone, and needs to upgrade from...

I've rooted my Samsung Mega 6.3. It's been a great move for the following reasons: Software that can have root access can either remove, or freeze applications I don't use, that are draining resources. Most of my data downloads are programs updating themselves, programs I would remove if I had...

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4529382406 I wanted to check my connection speed and the above is what I got. We are currently paying for a package they no longer offer, which was 105mbps. Affordable 180 mbps is a bit of a shocker.

Hi Anyone have any experience with either this line of laptops? Costco has them relatively cheap, and the specs look OK, but they need SSD's.

Hi I'm wondering what you use for testing hard drives? Thanks GS

Hi Just had an external 2 TB Seagate die at 2.5 years, on a 3 year warranty. I'm after internal drives, in the 2-4 TB range, that will last. 3-6 years is good. NAS? Newegg has the 2 TB models for around 120. They suck on service. Costco? Just returned a 2 TB, after it died, pulled it out...

Hi I'm wondering how people are reducing their Bluray disks for storage? One of the reasons here is the price differential for 25 gig vs. 50 gig Bluray disks. A lot of movies are under 25 Gigs, but, with all the bundled previews they come in at 40 gigs, or more. So: What software have you...

I'm looking at the PG&E bill. Keep in mind last year this time I had standard light bulbs, used the dish washer all the time, and used the central heating. It was warmer, IIRC, last year. I was also running the Beast 24/7 using 100% processor power, and folding at home. So last year: Billed for...

Hi Anyone have a software package that works with Windows 7 that does basic photo cropping and editing, without having to put an Adobe product on my computer? Free is always good. Thanks in advance. GS

Hi Now that Peerblock seems dead, what are you using, you Pirates? GS

It's blowing hard and supposed to drop 10-15 inches in the mountains/hills this week. Odd that after Sandy they aren't making much of a front that covers nearly the entire west coast, and is bringing winds in the 40-70 mile an hour range. Combined with a high tide, we could have some real...

I'm wondering if anyone has used OneNote, Windows Live Essentials 2011, and the MSFT skydrive. How it's worked? It appears Essentials is free, and it gives you a movie editor and photo editor? Sounds too good to be true.

Hi Can't get rid of this POS. It hijacks both browsers, IE and Firefox to http://startpins.com/? I've blocked it on Firefox with BlockSite 0.7.1.1. However, it reappears after being cleaned when I restart on IE. I'ves used Spybot, Nod32, Malwarebytes, TSSbootcleaner. Topmedia is the...

http://www.volcomfijipro.com/live/ http://www.surfline.com/surfdata/lola_surf_model.cfm?id=8493 This is a giant swell. Biggest ever for a Pro ASP Surf contest to my knowledge. Tavarua, Cloudbreak, is unique in that it's both huge, hollow and lined up. It's not just a peak you can get out of...

PowerDVD 10 ultra died. I uninstalled it, reinstalled 8, then it died. My two copies of 9 won't install due to various issues. I'm pretty much sick of it. I'm trying the Arcsoft Media Home Theatre five on trial. It's been OK, except it doesn't like shutting down. Anyone used it much...

Hi Car died. Needed a car to get to work. Rented a mini car, didn't like the color, black, so they upgraded me to a 2012 Mustang, 3.7L v-6 for the same price. Automatic, 6 speed, with a Sirus sound system that allows me to Bluetooth the phone for music and calls. VERY cool. Performance gas...

Hi I've been working in Public schools since 1999. In that time I have worked closely with the tech guys, IT, pretty much all the time. My requests seem to be a bit different then the normal teacher. They fall into a few categories: Excellent-VERY good, with no budget, and reporting to people...

I think they work. Don't know for sure.

I thought I'd start a thread on low powered computer setups. DD started in another thread, with theses recommendations: "If you want a low powered machine, build one around a 35W Intel CPU, 1.35v RAM, and a single SSD. That will be a low draw machine. " Motherboard, power supply suggestions...

Hi I have a few bucks loose I shouldn't spend, or, if I don't spend, the government wants. I was thinking of a Revodrive to go with my setup. Wondering which one, looking for fast, smallest to second smallest, compatible with my setup(see signature). Also wondering if I have enough room with...
