    Suggestions for kids laptops?

    I've used PC's since my dad bought an IBM 5150, but I've never bought a laptop before. My girlfriend and I are looking to buy three laptops for my three stepkids (ages 11, 9, and 8), and I figured this forum might have some good suggestions. We are short on money, so I am thinking Costco...

    Drivers and settings for Realtek RTL8812AU wifi adapter?

    Weird -- the Netis installer has version 1026.13 for Win7 x64. I'm giving it a try now.

    Drivers and settings for Realtek RTL8812AU wifi adapter?

    The 1026.13 version is only for Win8.1. I'm running Windows 7 x64, and the drivers in the zip for that are only version 1024.9. I tried using Device Manager to "Update Driver" and pointed it to the 8.1x64 folder, but it tells me my driver is up-to-date. Manually right-clicking "install"...

    Drivers and settings for Realtek RTL8812AU wifi adapter?

    I have noticed with motherboards that use Realtek chipsets, that a given motherboard vendor seldom keeps up with the Realtek driver releases, and the best solution is to go to Realtek's website directly for the best/latest drivers -- all the vendors do is slap their own brand-name on the driver...

    Drivers and settings for Realtek RTL8812AU wifi adapter?

    I've purchased several Alfa AWUS036AC 802.11ac dual-band wifi USB adapters for use with three Windows 7 computers I have, and I am looking to get better performance out of them. I am connecting them to a TRENDnet TEW-812DRU AC1750 dual-band wireless router. What perplexes me is the...

    Windows 7 Disk Cleanup Not Deleting Updates

    I run the Disk Cleanup tool, click on the "Clean up system files" button, after which it shows there is 4.55 GB of "Windows Update Cleanup" that can be removed. I click "OK" and then click "Delete Files", after which the progress bar moves along slowly but surely, and then the cleanup app...

    Setting up QoS for Backblaze on a Trendnet router

    The machine running Backblaze is my home server already -- it runs all sorts of applications, is a file server, and PVR -- so I can't set all the traffic from the machine to low priority, but limiting the port 443 traffic from that machine is acceptable.

    Setting up QoS for Backblaze on a Trendnet router

    I decided to go with a workable if not quite perfect solution: I set low priority for traffic from that machine's MAC address that is on port 443. So any HTTPS from that machine will also get low priority... but that's better than Backblaze crowding out other traffic. There is a throttle...

    Setting up QoS for Backblaze on a Trendnet router

    QoS only affects outbound traffic, but the router allows you to specify either a source or a destination IP for doing it. I don't want to lower the priority for all the traffic from that computer, only the Backblaze application, so priority based on source IP is a bad idea. Priority based on...

    Setting up QoS for Backblaze on a Trendnet router

    I am not a networking expert so I am in over my head a bit on this topic. I have Backblaze running on my home system, and I want to use the QoS in my Trendnet AC1750 router to give the Backblaze bandwidth lower priority than most other traffic. What has me stumped is what Backblaze says...

    EVGA GTX 750 Ti with Sony FW900 CRT won't do custom refresh etc.

    That looks like a cool utility, but it only accepts integer refresh rates -- this is frustrating, since I want to do 4 x 23.976 = 95.904 Hz I sent a ticket to EVGA support and they got right back to me -- said to try their Precision X utility, which does let me adjust the pixel clock. Again...

    EVGA GTX 750 Ti with Sony FW900 CRT won't do custom refresh etc.

    I had been pairing my old Sony FW900 CRT monitor with a Radeon HD 4850 graphics card, using PowerStrip to run the monitor at 1920x1200 at 96 Hz (useful for watching movies since it is 4 x 24 fps). I recently replaced the Radeon with an EVGA GTX 750 Ti graphics card, but now neither the Nvidia...

    How to setup software mirror of boot drive in Win7?

    Oh yes, my first computer ran Windows 3.0 and I quickly became a staunch OS/2 fan and MS hater. While Symantec has never had anything like the iron-grip on the industry or stifled innovation the way MS did, what got me hating Symantec was watching them buy one innovative company after another...
