    WOL question - Win11 login

    I have a Win 10 PC at work, and a Win11 laptop at home and would like to access the work PC from home. If I leave the work PC on with AnyViewer running, I am able to access my work computer from home. I also set up WOL, which works well. The place I am stuck is logging in to Windows. Is that...

    Monitor that auto-senses input

    I would like to be able to have a monitor with 3 inputs: VGA, HDMI, and DVI-D and have the monitor detect which input is active. There would only be one input standard working at one time. This monitor would be on a stage, so we could not push an input button or have a remote (unless it was on...

    What is dual graphics

    I bought an MSI laptop a few months ago. It was advertised to have an nVidia Geforce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card. I have an external monitor that I use connected with HDMI and that works just fine. I am using Win10 Home, but a few days ago I wanted to experiment with a few Linux live USB distros...

    Custom laptop companies - CUK, ProStar - Are they good?

    Just looking to see if these companies are reputable. I know there is a small percentage of people that will bad mouth a company if they got mistreated, but would like to know if either have a good or bad reputation for things like slow shipping, poor customer service, etc. I probably made it...

    Custom laptop companies - CUK, ProStar - Are they good?

    How to get audio across the room

    B00nie, the WLS approach sounds like it might work. My application is in a church. The stage has a VGA connection that goes from the stage to our soundboard, but there is no audio in VGA. When we have guest speakers, they usually bring their laptops to use on the stage. We have an HDMI to VGA...

    How to get audio across the room

    I need to get audio from a computer (via 3.5mm audio jack) across the room at 55 feet away into a sound board. Running an audio cable would be easiest, but am not able to do that. Any ideas? Wifi, BT, or something else?

    Replace router and range extender with?

    I have decided to get in the attic and run a cat6 from the main router (AC1200) to a second router and use it in AP mode. I am looking at two routers to buy and both are about the same price. Which one is the better router? Both are TP-Link. AX1800 (Archer AX21) $100 or AC2600 (Archer A10) $110

    Strange USB power behaviour

    I experienced something that I have not seen before. I have a desktop with Win10. I have a small tally light that is plugged into the computer's USB for power. The computer has USB 2.0 and the tally light uses a USB-C connector. When I shut down the computer, the light stays lit. If I want the...
