Cheers, my friend!

And let's not forget the time Immy forced us all to unwittingly download a pic of his naked arse onto our computers. DAMN YOU, HTML!! :p

Also, I agree on the great community....

HAHAHA, you guys are getting old!

/thinks abaout it

Oh, damn.

Heya, Shinobi. I remember you, too :)


Again, thanks, guys. In the back of my mind I can't help but feel like the cliche old person whose go-to topic of conversation is their weird health issues....

Thanks for the well wishes and assurances, all!

Went and had the surgery. The procedure was one of those things where the idea of it was not as bad as the act. That being said, oh, the pain. I...

Hello, all! Just thought I'd stop by for a sec. I do miss the days of yore, BTW. Spare time has become increasingly hard to come by. Immy's arse picture is still emblazoned in my mind.

Anyway,...

You're absolutely right on that point.

FWIW, when I was running errands today I looked at a gas station along the way. $5.08/gal. I'm sure it's less at Costco.

Depends on where I am in my route (91 octane is ~$4.80/gal at stations along a major street and next to a freeway). Like BaLa, I live <5 miles from work so to be honest I don't really scrutinize what...

/drive_by_boop!

I had a '78 Camaro that was very similar. 350 small block with a tiny 2 barrel carb due to economy restrictions being in effect when it was built (I was 18 when I got it in '88). If I drove like an...

Oh, for sure. There's about 10 stoplights between home and work, which explains the ~13mph average speed. If my priority was economy I would have went with something else, but my monthly gas bill...

Oh, forgot to add the only real dislike for my car.

The mileage.

I average about 10.5mpg. I live ~3 miles from work so there's no freeway driving. Car says my average speed is ~13mph. So, the...

2019 Lexus RC F. My only car. It's a Lexus/Toyota so it's been very reliable as would be expected.

Ever find yourself reading a comment chain only to realize you have no idea what everyone is on about?

Heya, Philip! Thank youo very much for the reply.

I'm right there with you when it comes to not being familiar with SonicWall appliances. I mean, I've been given admin rights when I wanted it to...

Howdy, all!

Long story short, the whole pandemic thing tossed some chaos into our day-to-day and who knows how long this whole working remotely thing is going to go on. When things went sideways...

Those were LIES, I tells ya. I was perfectly capable of flying.

It's really simple. Just jump into the only fly-thinglie around, peg the throttle to make sure I abandon anyone else on my team on...

Howdy, Philip!

Your bullet points were informative and definitely make sense. FWIW, the SSD is a M.2 NVMe 1TB Intel 760p. Nothing exotic, was shooting for more towards reliability (assuming Intel...

Heya, all!

Couple weeks ago my main system died after ~6 years.

Built a new system (X399 chipset) and was wondering in a SSD environment, if having a separate physical drive for the swap/page...

Only thing I've read had regarded ozone emission from laster printers and keeping them out of the same room as infants, kittens, etc.,.

Could be a load of farts but who knows.

Cheers, RoundEye. My time will come some day and when it does I hope to see you there so we can carry on. Until then you will be missed.

Heya, Phil, Rand-man and Kenneth!

LOL!!! Too funny! I mean I am a pretty open-minded guy. Willing to try most anything once. Maybe this was my subconscious steering me towards something new :p .
...

Fuggit, ordered one for sheets and giggles. It maintained the same image through the purchase process.

I'll probably forget all about this in the morning and wonder why I bought this thing later...

Was looking for a cheap/basic soldering station a couple days ago. Have been thinking about just buying one so I can write a review about how the product is not as pictured... or a review of how it...

Howdy all. It's been a few years since I monkeyed with multi-boot systems. Seemed a lot more straightforward when doing it with a BIOS/MBR setup. What I am looking to accomplish is a dual-boot...

Hello, morbidpete, downhill, Ken!

Although I really do need to pay closer attention, there are 2 recent orders that were/are Prime that took over a week to get to me. Actually more if you include...

Howdy, guys!

Re-read my post, and to clarify my bad wording: many Prime items are still free 2 day, it's just many now are not (yet still labeled as Prime). It makes the most difference at work...

Past few orders I've made wound up not having the free 2 day shipping as an option on all items. At first I thought it was just me not paying attention, but I have discovered that my process of...

Picked up a new router (RT-AC3200) on the way home from work. I actually was leaning towards the AC-RT88U but insofar as the guts, they're pretty much equivalent. Same CPU, anyways. The wireless side...

Ah, great suggestions, Philip. One of the reasons I tried turning off the radios and unmounting the HDD was for that very reason. I'll try turning off QoS and auto-bonding as well.

As always,...

Got home last night and flashed Merlin. Couple things to note:


After the flash, Merlin showed the router CPU usage was pegged at 100% and speed tests were unchanged (~200Mbps)
Unmounted the...
