Congrats!

Happy Birthday.

I talked myself back from the edge this year (again). I know I talk a good game but when I sit here at my computer and I honestly think about what I'm actually doing with my PC I realize for this point and time in my life it's doing everything I need it to do. I also have plenty of headroom, space ...

Happy Thanksgiving

Ours is going to be rather short. My wife's family usually doesn't start eating until 6 or 7pm and Mrs. Easto has to be at work in the morning. We'll probably just eat and run. The other HUGE plus is that it's not at our house! I get to come home to a clean home.

The WD Black 2TB SN850X is going for $123 at Amazon. I already have over 2gb of empty space on my 2 non-OS drives so if I get this it would just be because it's so darn cheap.

I've told myself that this is the year to pull the trigger on some much "wanted" hardware. Last year I hesitated and missed out on almost everything while I watched prices increase after the sales were over.

I (still) want to max out my mobo's CPU capacity (AM4). The Ryzen 9 5900x is now $199 at ...

Congratulations! I've got you beat by several years but... ENJOY! There's nothing like it.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, that History is treated differently. How would I check to see if the "cookies, cache, etc" have been deleted?

Basically what I'm trying to do is remove any trace of me accessing those sites so that if I am hacked there wouldn't be any clues of where I bank ...

I want to delete, selectively, Chrome history and cache for certain websites upon closing Chrome. So far I've been trying the following...

Chrome Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > Additional content settings > On device site data. Under "Always delete site data from your device when ...

This definitely did not turn out how I wanted to see it. I'm just sick to my stomach.

I am expecting issues tonight, Pennsylvania and potentially some other swing states will report results late, so I don't know if we'll have a clear winner tonight at all.

I will be watching, will try to tune-in later as I don't usually go to bed before midnight anyway.

I agree, we really won't ...

Easto

I'm going to try and hang in there as long as I can but that really doesn't mean much. Mrs. Easto and I usually go to bed before 9pm so I don't think I'll get to see much. I do listen to my bedside radio to put me to sleep and tonight I'll tune it in to some station that will be following the ...

I understand the hassle of cleaning it. We've bought so many things for our kitchen just to find out that after using them it takes 10 minutes of detailed cleaning. We bought a stand alone electric teapot/water heater. We started saving money almost immediately. Before that we were turning on the ...

I wasn't sure if that was an air fryer or a dehydrator.

Nice!

In Oct 22 we bought a new Honda Pilot. My wife drives our Accord to work and since I'm retired the Pilot spends a lot of time in the Garage. We just turned 9k on the odometer this month i.e. about 4500 miles a year. We've never had something with so much room and it comes in very hand when we have ...

Happy Birthday!

One of the things I noticed that it does... when you use the Cap Locks key the colored light underneath the key changes color. So now, I can tell if it's on just by looking at the key. There's a ton of programmability too. I like having single function keys/macros setup in order to open and close my ...

My old Microsoft (cheap) keyboard was really starting to go. I decided to give someone else a try. I bought a mechanical keyboard from Keychron. A Keychron V6. The mechanical feel, the long throw of the keys reminds me of when I was first learning to type in school. I'm really liking this thing and ...

That's just awful. Hopefully you can find a place that will support you and your family.

Happy Birthday!

Who's got the best reputation for quality spinners? I want to get some stuff off of 4 old HDDs that I have and move them to a new one.

Happy Birthday!

After posting I did a little more research and I think the alias option may be the way to go. My biggest concern is spam. For the majority of my PC lifetime I've been blessed with virtually little to no spam emails. Yes, I do get them but maybe about 2 a month up to about 3 months ago and now I'm ...

Do I have to register a completely new account for each email address (Gmail). Currently I have 4 different addresses with Charter account i.e. banking, online selling, friends etc.

Easto

I've been looking into dumping my current ISP (Charter) and going somewhere else. I've called them several times requesting a lower rate but they just don't want to budge like they use to. Frontier is offering a plan that would be a substantial discount over Charter. Substantial enough to make me ...

I'll have to take a closer look about the ads in the middle. What is happening now... the screen will go black with a "buffering" icon on the screen. Then, if it's a short enough ad it will just go right into the video. If the ad is longer than something like 10-15 seconds the screen remains black ...

Easto

I switched over to uBlock Origin Lite and I've noticed that when watching YouTube on my PC the ads at the beginning of most videos will not load. After the allotted time for the ad the "Skip" button comes on the screen. I click it and the video starts. Although I still have to wait for the unseen ...

Thanks for the tip.

Saw this posted on another site and thought it might be a good one for some of the members here.

I haven't really been following this issue since my preferences lean towards AMD. Have any of you been having problems with you Intel based systems? It looks like Intel just extended the warranty on these chips by 2 years.

Windows 10+ can be set to auto-delete old files in the "Downloads" folder.
It is under Start Menu > Settings > search for "Storage Sense" > "Change how Storage Sense frees up space"

Wow! I learn something new every day. It appears to be in Win 11 too. Very useful, thank you.

I understand not wanting a bunch of PDFs all over the place. What I've done is create a desktop folder named "Temporary". I have a scanner and didn't want all my scans to be distributed all over my computer, plus I wanted them all in 1 place so I could review them before deciding which one to save ...

Figured this out. For some reason "Access Control" was enabled and was only granted to my PC. Once disabled everything works as expected. I still remember seeing more devices in this list though. After enabling / disabling it a couple of times all the connected devices are now show in the allowed ...

About 2 weeks ago a guest at our house wasn't able to log on to our guest account from their Apple phone. I couldn't understand why. We tried using one of the other Guest accounts including the Main wireless account. We kept getting that the PWD was incorrect. But here's the thing, we currently have ...

My brother is in Paris right now and he said he was able to find some buns but the hot dogs look more like sausages.

Happy 4th to everyone.

Later today we're going to the wife's son's house for a BBQ. It will probably be pretty low key. Most of the grand kids are old enough to drive now so they really don't like hanging around with the old folks. That's ok. We'll get home early, LOL.

I don't use any filtering at all. Straight from the tap. The water in my area tastes pretty good and I've never felt the urge or need to move to any filtering system and/or bottled water.

I was just reading about how this is probably going to be ready for release in the near future. Some of the leaked specs seem pretty cool (core counts etc.)
