• 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.

    Looking for a specific type of plugin for a Wordpress setup

    @Mekanic01 A little off topic, but if you care anything about your wordpress site, do yourself a favor and install the free Wordfence plugin. It secures wordpress and guards against malicious php injects, cross site scripting, hack attempts, etc. You can even sit there and watch the live...

    Best free/fast OS for a netbook?

    So true. The N270 cpu and chipset is just too slow. On mine, I have to play youtube at 360p or else it lags.

    Did they..... did they fix Windows 7 updates somehow?

    They fixed the slow updating with the KB3172605 update. That and they now have the Rollup Patch which brings you from a fresh win7 sp1 install to about May/2016. From there your just a handfull of updates away from being fully patched.

    Best free/fast OS for a netbook?

    You might check out Cloudready. It's basically the free version of ChromeOS aka "chromebook". I've used it on my Dell mini10v with the n270 atom. worked fine. https://www.neverware.com/

    Need some Linux help

    Don't think of "DD" as a regular file copy, its more like your burning an image. you can DD a linux iso onto a dvd and when finished the dvd is complete and bootable. So with that line of thinking, when you DD your zImage, its writing some type of data format onto the HDD, and not necessarily...

    Need some Linux help

    Ok after re-reading the directions, I think you are correct. you need to image those files to the NAS disk which you took out of the NAS and connected to your linux pc. when that's done you "Put the disk in the nas, plugin the stick, power it up," I'm not sure what software goes on the flash...

    Need some Linux help

    Ok so If I'm reading this right you extracted the 2 files "zImage" and "initrd" to a usb drive (root directory), and you have a 2nd USB drive to image them to. The 2nd USB drive is formatted as "fat" (not fat32), and is at least 1Gb in size. Now your going to plug both USB drives into a linux PC...

    Windows 10 on Dell M170 XPS laptop (10 years old) - success!

    You might try PaleMoon Browser. Based on firefox, but optimized and has the developer stuff removed so It's supposed to be faster. Pair that with uBlock Origin adblocker.

    Windows 10 on Dell M170 XPS laptop (10 years old) - success!

    That's pretty cool. I miss my old M170, it was a beautiful machine. I ended up selling it to a friend a few years ago. I'm surprised your gtx7800 is still working after all these years. Mine died literally right out of warranty and I ended up replacing that with a 6800gtx which also didn't last...

    Looking for help with HTML

    You could design everything in Excel and save it as a "web page", then upload it to your site via ftp (or whatever means blogspot uses). It would be easier to maintain that way (imo), albeit the html code will be ugly but it should work. You could also host from dropbox or google sites for...
