    Watching DVDs Through Chrome Browser Tab

    Not yet. Rabb.it has seemed to work well for us (despite the bandwidth limitations and unreliability of her internet connection), so had hoped to find a solution that worked with that. Or are you meaning a remote desktop solution that I can view in my own browser, and stream to her using...

    Watching DVDs Through Chrome Browser Tab

    Rabb.it already takes care of all of that. If you can play it in a browser, you can stream it to someone else (and see them while doing so). It's pretty neat, and any glitches we've run into with it are resolved with the good ol' "turn it off and back on again." Literally all that I cannot do...

    Watching DVDs Through Chrome Browser Tab

    Hello, My long-distance GF and I have been having some good success with using Rabb.it to watch movies and videos together. The way it works is it mirrors the content of a specified Chrome tab to the other person. There is no way to mirror the desktop. We've looked at a couple other...

    Simplest Administration, Inexpensive UTM With Content Filtering (including HTTPS)

    OpenDNS would be great - I looked into it initially when I was working there, with the idea of blocking port 53 directed toward WAN. Seemed like it would be really easy to set up/manage (and a helluva lot easier than Squid ended up being). However, the pricing seemed too high at the time, and it...

    Simplest Administration, Inexpensive UTM With Content Filtering (including HTTPS)

    Hello all, I volunteered at a school system in another country for a couple of years, and have periodically been providing support for them over the past two and a half years whenever something comes up that stumps them. When I was there, I set up a (in my opinion) pretty great network (given...

    Build Feedback? ~$2k Budget

    I'm actually not sure. My brother has that information, but is just saying "I'll look it up sometime, it was between $2,200 and $2,300." What I do know, is that between Amazon Prime free shipping and a Shoprunner trial/Newegg Premier trial (I don't know whether Shoprunner or Newegg Premier...

    Build Feedback? ~$2k Budget

    Thanks for the suggestion, but for something as performance-dependant as the graphics card, he wasn't wanting to go for a budget card. He's using it on a 144hz monitor, and based on what I'm seeing, 980 Ti gets about 2x the performance of that card. (That, and we're now an Nvidia family... No...

    Build Feedback? ~$2k Budget

    Thank you for the reply! Motherboard: Hmm... We missed that Gigabyte UD3 (filtered by most/best reviews). I'll show that to him. Looks like the only differences are one less network port, one less PCIe x1, swapped VGA for the DisplayPort, and the power/reset/etc buttons on the mobo itself...

    Build Feedback? ~$2k Budget

    Hello, all! My brother is planning on purchasing the parts for his first true PC build in the next couple of days, so I've been going through looking at components with him the past couple of days. I figured I'd run it past you guys to see if there are any parts we could improve for similar...

    How Are PCIe 3.0 Lanes Handled?

    Ah, interesting. Yea, I'd read there were some issues with >1 video card, but it didn't sound like there were so many with 2 (sounds like three are loads with >2). Was just curious as to the reasoning behind the statement of supporting 2-way SLI/3-way CrossFire :)

    How Are PCIe 3.0 Lanes Handled?

    Oh! That's how it works? Cool. I'd thought the overall limit was 20. Now that I think about it, that makes complete sense... A controller on the CPU, and the chipset on the board is another controller. No shortage of lanes there then. Thanks for the explanation, I now have a better understanding...

    How Are PCIe 3.0 Lanes Handled?

    Hello, all! My brother is preparing to build a computer in the near future, and has requested my help with it. He's been eyeing the 6700k, and I've been doing some reading about it. Currently his plan is 1x graphics card (he's looking at the 980 Ti), and possibly and M.2-based SSD...

    Is My Hard Drive Failing?

    Thank you for the replies, all! So... It looks like the problem has stopped. After having let it run overnight copying everything off, it only makes the accessing sound when I am actually accessing it. I tried turning the computer off, unplugging the data cable, and starting it again (like in...

    Local Syncing Software With "Selective Sync" Feature?

    Thank you for the replies, all! They were of much help :) After looking at the options, SyncBack looks to be exactly what I was wanting! Simple selection/deselection of which folders/subfolders you do and do not want to backup (with checkboxes), as well as supporting different syncing profiles.

    Is My Hard Drive Failing?

    Nope, no power outages. I've got it on a UPS. Are you referring to the OS fixing the error, or some type of error that is being fixed by the drive itself? I am wondering, because the sound is happening even when only power is plugged in (no influence from the OS, or the computer in general)...
