KeePassXC, just remember that one master password and have many copies of the .kdbx file. I have even abandoned Authy, and just use the TOTP functions in KeePassXC. Only an all drive disaster or memory lapse on my part will breach my passwords.
Dell Refurb site just had a 40% off sale on anything that ended on Monday. They usually run sales on holidays like MLK, 4th of July. All of those laptops are way overpriced unless they are running a sale.
Best bang for your buck would be a Dell Refurbished or outlet laptop. I bought a Dell Vostro 3350 with i5 2450m back in 2012 that has a 1275 single thread score. Last year I bought a Latitude e5470 with i5 6440hq with single core score of 2018.
I bought three straight disappointing flash drives. The Samsung Bar 32 and 64GB, at the same time, and the Gorilla USB3 64GB. All three have good read speeds of 150MBs or so but the write speeds are pathetic at 18-25 MB/s plus all three have an annoying pausing every couple of seconds while...
A story about the dumbing down of the world. Young people can't even use a computer and know anything about file folders and where to save things. We might as well have AI and robots just build the turbines for the jet engines. The problem is who will be smart enough to program the AI until...
I just remembered that Google acquired Neverware which makes CloudReadyOS, the Google Chrome alternative. I bet Google will launch an ad campaign and tell people with systems that don't support Win11 to switch over to ChromeOS that can be installed on any computer. This might do well since...
Does anyone know if MS is going to put Bitlocker on Win 11 Home by default? I think they want the TPM 2.0 thing for Spectre/Meltdown protection, as well as disk encryption, just like Apple does with the T2 chip. MS doesn't control the hardware, so they need to put a certain condition on...
I am still running a Dell Vostro 3350 with Sandy Bridge i5, 8GB, SSD (for past 3 years). It still runs well, but I can feel the age of the laptop when browsing certain sites, like Youtube. Screen, hinge and keyboard are still good. I had to replace the battery, and I opened it up early last...
Maybe Dell should approach "Advanced Sustainability" by having PCs be fixable and with components that can be swapped out when bad, instead of chucking out the whole PC. I'm not saying that just Dell does it, Apple, Samsung, HP and others. This all has to do with Right 2 Repair. Maybe the...
Just like they tell us that our businesses and jobs are non essential. tell them they are non essential by not watching their non essential woke movies and shows.
This is why we need to stop buying products and services that have subscriptions or need to be linked to an account. That is the only way to show the companies that we don't want this garbage.
Apple will probably claim it as an administration fee.
Apple needs all the money they can get because they are building an east coast campus in the Raleigh, NC area.
Remember, convenience = loss of freedom, especially when it comes to big tech companies.
Buying stuff from the Apple store doesn't mean you own it, you are just renting it. All of this streaming of video and music, IoT devices and appliances, and software as a service is prepping us for The Great Reset when according to their own video, "You will own nothing and be happy". In the...
I still would not run Windows even if you can run GUI Linux application in Win10. If MS does switch the kernel to Linux in Windows, they can still do all their data collection and spying. The only things I do in Windows are play one game I enjoy, Quake 3 from the CD I still own, print, and if...
I get about 35w idle with my i3 10100 system using igp on a h470 microatx board with 2 sata ssd and 1 3.5 drive and 2x8gb of ddr4 ram. I bought mine last June and had to wait until I saw the price at Amazon hit MSRP at 122. This was all after trying amd 3200g system that had problems with...
By the way things are going, we will have left, Samsung, Apple and a bunch of Chinese phones. Pay through the nose, or get really spied on by a Chinese phone.
Well placed malware or an emp and you can kiss your crypto goodbye.
Fiat currency is also not safe because if your government is spending like crazy and "printing" money, hyperinflation comes and currency devalues.
Gold and silver, at least are physical items, but right now are tied to the US...
Same here. Windows 10 on old 128gb Adata ssd and FerenOS on Samsung 860 evo 500gb and after kernel update, grub was updated to include windows. No problems. I only use windows now to scan, print and play a game or two.
I have an original Apple Lightning cable in near perfect condition that works. Can't use it anymore because phone was lost. The cable is free of fraying and the connector looks clean to me. This also comes with the charger 5V 1A.
$25 20 shipped...
This is what I was thinking. They are finished scanning and analyzing our pictures for free, and now that people are hooked, they will limit the space and force us to pay for more space beyond the 15GB.
I just upgraded, and have this RAM left over.
Crucial 2x4GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 SOLD(Tested each RAM stick individually in Memtest86 and came back with no errors.)
I also have an InWin BK623 microATX SFF case plus the original power supply 300W. If you are near zip code 27127, you can...
I just put together a Ryzen 3 3200G with this motherboard and have the latest bios P3.90. I have Win10 Home installed and just discovered this bizarre behavior.
I put (or it goes to sleep) the computer to sleep, move the mouse (or hit power button) to wake it and the fans and drive spin up and...
Decided to keep the laptop.
I have a good condition Dell Vostro 3350 business laptop. There are a few light scratches on the outside, but screen is still very clean and keyboard is clean.
I have a 4 cell battery (87%) health and an 8 cell battery (93%) health both are 3rd party batteries and...
This is worse than him sticking a USB with a virus and infecting the computers. At least with the virus, they don't lose the hardware. Anybody know if the USB ports are disabled, does this still work? If not, the school should have disabled the ports. I'm sure in the future they will.
Chalk it up to Windows 10 being forever in beta. How does that stupid Cortana speech go when installing windows 10? Modify it for a slogan for windows 10:
"A little malware here and a few bugs over there."
