• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Building a Plex Server - UK

    Thanks to both for your replies - it's highlighted that, as I said, this isn't my strongest subject. I think swapping to that case will be the best move. I hadn't realised about the GPU. Am I correct in saying that the either a processor with on board graphics or a standalone graphics card is...

    Building a Plex Server - UK

    I watch very little live TV, but consume a lot of TV and movies via Netflix, catchup TV services and a sizeable DVD collection. I also have a selection of family footage that has been shot on a variety of devices (with varying levels of quality) over the years. I'm looking for a centralised way...

    USB Encryption

    Thanks for informing me about that software. My understanding from their website and your post is that one of the main advantages is that it monitors and logs what data is written to the USB. In our environment, that wouldn't be especially pertinent, because we're a public sector organisation...

    USB Encryption

    In my organisation we need to access to data outside of work hours. If we were to go down the route of USB sticks, is this an acceptable solution? Windows Bitlocker to encrypt Agreed standard for passwords Database of USB sticks and serial numbers recorded In the long term, we're hoping...

    WD Passport not recognised by Win 8.1

    Appears to be solved. After everything that I've tried, it seems to have come down to disabling it in Device Manager, reenabling it, and then restarting Windows.

    WD Passport not recognised by Win 8.1

    I bought a 500GB Western Digital Elements SE HDD to use with my Sony TV. It allows live TV to be recorded etc. In order to authorise this, the TV reformatted the HDD from NTFS to its own format. When this happens, the device cannot be used with Windows. I now want to use the HDD with my...

    Thanks very much guys. I'll look into these suggestions.

    iPad Storage

    The children would be using the iPads to shoot video and then saving it so that it can be watched back at a later date. So really the storage system would need to integrate into the camera app in the same way that iCloud does automatically and Dropbox does through auto uploading. Thanks for...

    iPad Storage

    I work in a school and we have recently purchased a batch of thirty iPads and I'd like to learn more about the storage options available to us. Obviously there is iCloud, but can that be used across thirty devices? How would that need to be set up? I've seen other schools using Dropbox and...

    Windows 7 - clocks wrong

    Yes we have AD. So either they're not syncing with that, or, more likely they are sycning with that but the clock on the server is wrong. I've tried manually changing the time on my machine to the correct time, and it just reverts back later on.

    Windows 7 - clocks wrong

    We don't have an in house ICT department in my organisation and I'm pretty much responsible for liaising with external technicians. I'm fairly technical, but don't have a lot of experience with networks. The clocks on most if not all of the Windows 7 machines are wrong. My assumption was that...

    Replacement Dell Charger - UK

    I frequently use my Dell Inspiron R 5520 laptop in two locations in my house. I'm contemplating buying a second power adapter so that I can leave one in each location to save as much messing about - as it would allow me to leave both power adapters set up and ready to use. A quick look on...

    Dell Inspiron 15 - drops wifi

    I've not been able to get in touch with Dell as yet, so I'm continuing to try and solve the problem myself. I've copied and pasted the information displayed in ipconfig /all both whilst the wifi is functioning correctly and when it isn't working. I can't see any differences that are useful to...

    Dell Inspiron 15 - drops wifi

    Okay. I don't think it's anything to do with sleep because even from booting the laptop from scratch the wifi error persists. Time to look for updated/replacement drivers from the manufacturer for the wireless card? I'm also going to get in touch with Dell and see what they suggest about it...

    Nikkor DX Lens - 35mm v 40mm

    Thanks for that. I'm half interested in the macro, but probably not enough to sway me towards the 40mm lens. Macro isn't something that I'm especially interested in. I'm satisfied with the close-up shots that I take with other lenses so either they will continue to do the job or I'll use the...
