It's nowhere as cold here in So Cal as it is in other parts of the country but we decided to have our first fire while Mrs. Easto decorated the tree and the front room. It looks like I'm going to need to make another run to the firewood supplier. Last year I got too much hardwood and it's not really ...

Was a "week" enough? I've offered to take Mrs. Easto there a couple of times but due to her work she can only afford 1 week off at a time. I was just worried that we would feel rushed.

Easto

It's starting to look like the prices are starting to go back up again. It also appears that many vendors only had a limited about of stock at those prices.

Easto

One thing I've noticed is that many of the items are sold out. Even a Samsung SSD I was looking at (2tb for $119) wasn't even available at Samsung. But I think you're right. The deals are all what we're seeing now. I think they're only going to go up from here.

Easto

I'm not seeing any deals? The 3 things I've been tracking have been the same since about a week before Thanksgiving.

Easto

For 2 miles I only drove at 1mph. From the time we were at the offramp until we got the the point where you could pick Arrivals or Departures took 2 hours! It was worse than I could have ever imagined. The good news is that I found out that we're not dropping them back off this evening. We're ...

Easto

I'm hoping Cyber Monday might turn into something.

Easto

I have to tell you, I'm not seeing any deals that are knocking my socks off this morning.

Easto

I hope everyone here has a great day and gets a chance to enjoy some great food.

Amazon has an Alienware 38in curved monitor for $699. This is a legitimate incredible price.

Newegg has the WD Black SN850X NVMe M.2 2TB for $114

Easto

I think you're absolutely right. Everyone wants all the functionality they can get without having to bother with any of the details. I can't tell you how many times I've been talking with a friend and I'll mention some sort of security issue or feature and they look at me with a puzzled look like ...

Easto

You cannot drill down and see an individual devices usage. You can see it's up/down speeds but that's it. I don't think you can do that without paying for their subscription service in order to set and set QoS settings. My ASUS would show me websites accessed by device including the total usage for ...

I just found out that my wife's sister is flying into LAX at 9pm Wednesday and guess who has to go get her? LAX is an iconic nightmare to deal with around the holidays and now I'm going to be doing it the night before Thanksgiving. Well, there goes 3-4 hours down the drain.

Easto

Just in case you weren't following my other thread... I purchased the TP-Link AXE95. So far,. so good.

Easto

You're right. I guess I just felt secure knowing I could change something if I wanted to, LOL. I just wasn't sure about the Anti-Virus stuff. I guess I just assumed that comes with everything. I'll be ok :-).

Easto

I've got the new router working but I'm a little concerned. This thing has no where near the granularity of the ASUS router. The management GUI feels like it was made for a child. I've been looking over and over the thing and it appears that some of the expected security features are not available ...

Easto

That TP-Link ARcher AXE 7800 is only $199 at Best Buy and they have them in stock. Costco wants $279 for the same thing. None of my clients are 6ghz yet. Looks like I might be visiting BB soon.

Easto

I've read some good reviews on the TP-Link Archer AXE7800 Tri-Band 6E. Any opinions? I'm not stuck on Asus. Just want a good solid router that's configurable.

Easto

I currently have a Asus RT-AC3200 which seems to do everything we require (currently having problems with it and I think I need to start looking for a new one). Requirements: Only hardwired to 1 PC with 2 phones and an iPad. Virtually no gaming either wired or wireless. Our cable connection is 300 ...

WD_BLACK 4TB SN850X NVMe for $229, mine just got delivered a few minutes ago :)

SWEET! Fortunately I only need maybe a 1tb drive and those are sub $100 right now. Although I've been eyeing some of the 2tb varieties.

Easto

I did the whole restore to default, reloaded my config file and confirmed firmware was up to date. For a while yesterday I was feeling pretty good about myself because there were no other glitches all day. Then this morning upon getting up Mrs. Easto yells out from the other room "No Internet?", D ...

Easto

All the reputable 2tb models seem to be stuck at $129.

Easto

I'm no expert but I did look at a couple of the logs. I was actually sitting at my computer so I knew exactly what the time stamp should be but I didn't see anything that would seem to be weird. But as I said, I'm no expert. I'm going to try the reset and reinstall the config file. I'll keep you ...

Easto

Update: I cannot log into router GUI when experiencing these dropouts. Usually turning the router off/on fixes the problem. I am good with current firmware. I think I'll copy the configuration file and then reset the router, load current firmware etc etc.

Easto

I blew it last time, so this year I think will be the year I get a 2nd NVME drive along with a boost in memory size. If the Ryzen 9 5950X would go on sale I'd be open for that purchase too.

This time I'm keeping track of these prices so when BF rolls around I'll know if it's a good deal or not.

Easto

Lately, more often than I'd like I seem to be losing connectivity from our router. Not for long, maybe 5-10-15 minutes at a time. All indications i.e. router and modem lights all show we have connectivity but I'll lose it on my phone (it will revert to 5G) and my hardwired PC loses it too. Where or ...

Easto

All my "w"s look good.

Easto

^^ Yeah, I realize there isn't any way to really nail it down and there would be no use in researching it further. It's just sort of sad, I went for so so long being virtually spam free. My wife's gmail account is one that gets hit probably 20 times a day, it's a mess.

Easto

For the last 20 years I've been fortunate enough to able to avoid getting hit with a lot of spam. Actually, up until about 9 months ago I might get 1 spammy email twice a month. I mean, really, I thought I was blessed. I've never received a Nigerian Prince email. Nothing like that at all. But then ...

I guess they're cracking down on ad blockers. They just caught me and it's a pain in the ass. They also sort of force you to turn you viewing history on too (which I have off). It was bad enough clicking through the commercials on my TV, but now on my PC? NO.

Easto

I'd have to agree with Philip. The first thing that stood out to me were the high CPU temps.

Easto

Mark... how's the new machine running? Inquiring minds want to know.

PS You should update your signature

Easto

This may just be how this version works. It does not bother me but I'll point it out anyway. When you click on the "Contact" icon under the member's info it quotes what was in that singular thread rather than opening up a blank message.

Easto

The sad thing about all these high prices is that its keeping me from doing more driving and doing things. Years ago I would jump in the car just to drive down to Huntington Beach to see what the waves looked like. If I saw that a particular store had something I wanted I'd drive out and take a look ...

Easto

Costco is down to $4.55

Easto

Cases have really come a long way. No more rat's nest of wires everywhere. I wish my case had those enclosed area for the PSU, I really like they way they clean up the look.

Once you get it up and running let me know how the fans on that CPU cooler sound.

Easto

I hope you boss is paying you well.

I look forward to the new SG

Easto

Cost is crazy, yes. You have to also account for the fact less than 50% of medical bills are actually paid, heh.

I get that. Sometimes it just burns me up at what they try to get away with. That I know for a fact. About 2 years ago I went in to have some skin issues looked at. They were basically ...

Easto

Last week after having my telemedicine appt my doctor sent me in for some blood work. I just got the Medicare summary of charges and one of the line items was $20 for "Handling and/or conveyance of specimen for transfer from office to laboratory". They freakin' charged me a delivery fee for my ...
