    Advice for Choosing Power Bank with USB-C

    So would you say that a USB-PD charger (even from a no-name brand) would be more standardized/reliable than a regular USB charger?

    Advice for Choosing Power Bank with USB-C

    I'm shopping for a new power bank to charge my phone & camera for up to 2-3 days while hiking in Patagonia. I'm aiming for at least 10,000+ mAh capacity, and both USB-A & USB-C port for future proofing. I'm budgeting $10-12 per 10,000 mAh, but open to suggestions. I found options with...

    Can't Read or Boot Samsung 850 EVO SSD, Damaged or Not Initialized?

    Diskpart doesn't seem to see any partitions on the drive. And as you said, Disk Management shows it all as unallocated space.

    Can't Read or Boot Samsung 850 EVO SSD, Damaged or Not Initialized?

    Thanks, I'm not that well versed in Linux, but any specific I should be doing? Would I be able to mount the NTFS drive if Windows Explorer doesn't see it? Thanks for the note about the font-color. Not sure how that changed...

    Can't Read or Boot Samsung 850 EVO SSD, Damaged or Not Initialized?

    I've got a Samsung 850 EVO that I had running in my NUC up until Dec 2016. I swapped it out for a Crucial SSD, but I left everything intact on the 850 before storing it away. I tried using the Samsung 850 again: 1) via external enclosure - doesn't mount and don't see drive in Windows Explorer...

    P4 system good enough for some older FPS games?

    Most of the games I plan on playing are a bit dated so they probably don't look all that nice anyways by today's standards. :D

    P4 system good enough for some older FPS games?

    Relatively near I guess. About an hour's drive. Why, is there a good deal on something there?

    It doesn't look like my 925X chipset supports them :( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets

    P4 system good enough for some older FPS games?

    Thanks for the input. This was the type of information I was looking for. I wasn't sure if people really thought I needed a full-system upgrade for those older games or if they were speaking about modern games in general. Any $30 PCI-e card you'd recommend? Although it'll be CPU...

    P4 system good enough for some older FPS games?

    At the moment, I'm only interested in older FPS games from 2004-2008: Half-Life 2 Portal Call of Duty 2 Call of Duty: World at War Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway Most of the minimum specs require a P4 1.4-3.0 Ghz, 256MB-1GB RAM, Geforce 4 - 7800 GT...

    P4 system good enough for some older FPS games?

    I don't expect to run games at 1920x1080 but more likely at 1680x1050. I'm not sure how much better it'll run at that lower resolution but I certainly wasn't expecting 1920x1080 with the P4. What minimum CPU spec should I be shooting for then? A friend of mine may be unloading a Core 2 Duo...

    P4 system good enough for some older FPS games?

    I haven't played any PC games since 2003 but I'm thinking about getting back into some FPS games. I'm mostly interested in playing the WWII themed games (Call of Duty 1-4, Medal of Honor series, etc.) but will probably also be playing Half-Life 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead, etc. I'm still on an old...

    Should code in source control be in production or dev mode

    First, I'm with all of you on the VSS stance...I don't care for it either. Unfortunately, I don't get much of a say in these things. I'm still trying to get some people here to use source control properly. Also, certain people here are very happy that VSS integrates easily with Visual Studio...

    Should code in source control be in production or dev mode

    We're currently using VSS as our source control repository. All of our code in VSS are checked-in with the development flag turned on. Obviously, we have to remember to turn that flag off everytime we deploy code to production. I could see it making development easier since every time I get...
