    Silicon Power XS70 1TB - $40 @ Amazon

    Did Amazon remove the ability to look at the Questions and Answers on their product pages? When I clicked on link above and then the 57 answered questions link on that page it scrolled down the page to reviews. It use to go to a list of questions people had asked with answers (at least the first...

    Is there any issue with having my APC battery backup on it's side?

    What about just using a small screen/grate/dog gate to wall off the corner with all of that? Heck, even a large cardboard boxed place over that would work.

    Toughbook CF-33 problems

    My job of the last year is not the best place to work. After leaving my last job of 25 years because the place closing, the job I'm at now is go-go-go. They do not allow time to work on fixing my computer on the clock, I do not even get a lunch. If I want to eat something I have to do it while I...

    Toughbook CF-33 problems

    https://na.panasonic.com/us/computers-tablets-handhelds/computers/2-1s/toughbook-33 Hit configure and your choice is Win10 pro or Win 11 pro. When purchasing a new tablet/laptop it's common to go for the latest OS. As far as software I agree,none "require" it though most support it.

    Toughbook CF-33 problems

    Try and keep it clean and put up- when not in use. I did find when it happens I'm getting a USB device undetected error in Device Manager (even with no usb plugged in). I caught it last time it did it and disabled that item and it seems to be working ok since. But it's not every time as it was...

    Toughbook CF-33 problems

    It's a personal unit used for work (auto technician). It has barely any programs on it except what's needed for work and that's all it gets used for.

    Toughbook CF-33 problems

    I have a toughbook 33 that I use at work. It is running Windows 11. Lately, my pen and touchpad will stop working at the same time and the only to fix it is a reboot. If it was just one or the other I'd have a clear idea of the problem, but these are basically two different interfaces. The...

    what happens if power supply is insufficient?

    Also, if you use a UPS then what's it rated at. I have a APC 750ES. When I really push my EVGA 3080 12GB (MSFS with everything ultra and render scale pushed up to 200) the UPS alarm will start beeping. These new cards draw a ton of watts. People think a UPS is only for backup power, but they...

    Which Asus Router

    If you had to choose between the Asus RT-AX86U aX5700 and the RT-AX92U AX6100 which one would you choose and why? What advantages/disadvantages do each have over the other? I'm currently using a D-Link DIR-655 that I've had for ages. It's starting to show it's age requiring restarts...

    Install and set up windows 10 on new computer for delivery to someone

    I had on hand a MSI sli plus z170a and a intel 6600. I added 16GB memory, a Samsung 850 EVO, EVGA 6GB 1060SC, thermatake 750W Tough Power. It's not going to be extreme top of the line, but should be strong for a while and still upgradable for later. The update to 1709 was doing the same thing...

    Install and set up windows 10 on new computer for delivery to someone

    No, from the install disc which I assume is an older version On a SSD. Install went fine. Installed all drivers except nVidia drivers which required later version of Win10, so I did the updates (requires being connected to the net). That's where things are going slowly, updating Windows 10 to...
