Shut down is still putting the computer into a sleep mode because the power supply is still delivering +5Vsb standby voltage to several points on...
It is probably Windows Update and it is best to just leave it. If you look at Windows Update settings, you can tell it your "active hours" to...
I agree about W8 but W10 is much easier to get used to. While I use Start10 on this computer, I use W10's native desktop on my other systems and...
The original announcement from the developer is here: Classic Shell • View topic - Classic Shell no longer in development. Source code released I...
Well, a unique (or disabled broadcasting of) the SSID is not really much of a security measure. Anyone with a sniffer or wifi network signal...
Well, I think "rare" is the wrong word. "Less common" or DHCP is more common would have been more appropriate and perhaps less confusing. No big...
Static IPs are RARE? Did it say that? Lots of users use static IPs. I have a Netgear and I have a static IP on my network printer and NAS...
Yes, I occasionally have a flareup of my GCF too. Umm... I forgot what GCF is. Oh yeah. Geriatric Cranial Flatulence! ;)
But this value is so high, it is highly unlikely it will ever be reached (thanks to wear-leveling). For most users, data is written once compared...
A drawback on paper! The reality is a SSD, even a budget SSD is likely to last long after you retire and replace the computer. Solid state memory...
So where are you? 2010 or 2013? If I already had 2010 (or 2013), I would not have moved to 2016 when I did. My complaint earlier about load...
Perhaps, but "flawed" could mean many things from it breaks everything it touches to it failed to address a problem for a tiny few people under a...
Not necessarily. Like pretty much all memory devices, densities increase significantly as the technologies advance. So in 5 or 10 years, 10TB SSDs...
Yeah, I think if an update affects a file that is shared through many versions, Microsoft pushes it out - as long as it does not take much or any...
In theory, that is not too far. In practice, it may be, especially if there are a number of barriers (walls, etc) between her adapter's antennas...
FWIW, I have the the 850 Pro 256GB as my boot and apps drive and the 850 Evo 256GB for my data. Both work great.
In what way? Do you mean because the elevator is a big metal barrier that slips in the LoS (line of sight) between her and the WAP (wireless...
Back to the thread topic. Note in my first post above where I said, Turns out I was wrong (in part). I was 100% right about ZDNet and poor...
If you have not spent time with a system using all SSDs (at least for your OS and apps), be ready to become spoiled. I will never go back to hard...
Excellent point. Operating system developers and hardware manufacturers have agreed upon "generic" protocols, drivers and standards. This is...
Separate names with a comma.
