What one is brand name? Is Truecable really a "brand"? I'm happy to pay more if there is more. If I am just buying from a retailer because they have a better UI on their website and a more professional spool then I'm not so interested in this specific use case.

This is what I'm looking at: Monorprice Cat6 500ft Blue CMR UL Bulk Cable, Solid (w/spine), UTP, 23AWG, 550MHz, Pure Bare Copper, Pull Box, Bulk Ethernet Cable It is $69 which is less than 14 cents a foot. Truecable Cat6 500ft Blue CMR, UTP, 23AWG, 550MHz, Bare Copper, Riser Ethernet Cable...

I've always bought my ethernet, HDMI and audio cables from monoprice in the past. Upon researching the new standards (cat6, cat6a, etc) it seems like there is a whole slew of "new" online retailers that focus exclusively on cables. Their prices seem to be more than monoprice which has me...

I have a Dasung paperlike HD 13.3" eink display. It didn't come with the optional frontlight or touch screen. Pretty neat little device! Words as intended. Used. Price is $900 + $35 FedEx express lower 48 states for fellow [H]. It is currently listed for sale on eBay and should go for the...

What software is commonly used in small & medium businesses to monitor an employee's computer activity?

I’m not following what you are recommending. I haven’t thought about the blinking as a potential cause. I’ll try that.

Hrmmm I’ll double check the tv settings..... but wouldn’t tv settings not matter when I was using a receiver?

I have a major problem and want some feedback from the beloved [H] family. I can no longer play computer games without major eye strain. Over the past 20 years I have had my fair share of time spent fragging. As time has gone on I have continued to upgrade my equipment to stay competitive. I...

I use to have a receiver with 5.1 Bose setup and in movies the explosions would be deafening but the talking would be indistinguishable. I switched everything to using only a soundbar, LG sl10yg using HDMI (arc) from Samsung TV. This didn’t resolve anything.... it is basically the same. It...

Is it possible to install Windows 7 (or 8 or 10?) on a hard drive on machine 1 and then put the hard drive into machine 2 that has identical specs in terms of motherboard, processor, ram and video card? In other words machine 1 and machine 2 are identical except serial numbers but are at...

I am organizing family photos and videos into one giant source that will be backed up in the cloud and external hard drive. I am gathering this from multiple computers, phones, etc. I know that there will be duplicates, potentially hundreds of duplicates between hundreds of thousands of files...

I'm trying to move 10+gb of emails from one box, let's say [email protected] to [email protected]. Both use IMAP. I tried using Thunderbird for about 1/4 of it and it ended up not transferring even though it said it was moving them it then didn't say it was moving them and I refreshed the target and...

interesting how everyone has their own... seems like a very commodity type product

Screen capture software, such as what is built in with Windows of "snipping tool"....... what do you use and what do you like about it? Free, opensource, paid, etc. Doesn't matter, explain why you like what you use. Anyone aware of anything where you can CTRL + C and then CTRL + P into a...

With such a small environment why not simply NOT VIRTUALIZE and then just have like 2 to 3 spares of identical systems ready to boot up if need be? So junk the one dell server (or use it for some type of backup system) and then get one machine per VM plus 2 or 3 spare machines. Then have a NAS...

Thank you all for the replies. It is nice to see so diverse options presented. The current single Dell server runs ESXi free version with 4 VM's none of which take up significant memory or cpu usage. There are only ever 10 people or so using any given service at a time with a maximum of 20...

Offsite isn't an option. DNS isn't anything mission critical. AD doesn't exist The equipment running right now is a single Dell tower server with RAID 1 running esxi free version. Does backups manually to a nas box but it is a manual process. We then have an offsite backup daily of the actual...

I've been given a budget to spend up to $15,000 (this isn't set in stone, could potentially go a little higher) on equipment as it relates to a production work environment for a business that is out of business during any amount of downtime. Priorities go: UPTIME/REDUNDANCY. Limiting the...

What is a tool name or recommended link on Amazon of a product that allows me to connect an enternet cable into it and then I can go in with a "wand" or whatever that will make a noise when I put the wand near that cable in a utility closet. I have a house where the basement looks to be...

bump for you. :) Great monitor for multi tasking as long as you hotkey swapping windows around.

Is there some type of tool, even if command line based or [open source] online based where you can input a PDF file and it will spit out specific information from the PDF that matches a certain criteria that you previously setup? I get a lot of PDF's that have information in the exact same spot...

Negative. I'll have to look into that.

I'm going to be working on an in-house project to develop a simple CRM system. It won't have a ridiculous amount of features but will do a lot of math and validation. (in terms of math, i'm talking about simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). I'm extremely familiar...

Mine says ON HOLD, I called and they said that their inventory system wasn't synced and they don't have an ETA for when more will get in. I said "that is fine, I'll just keep my order and wait for more to come in" and she said "sorry, can't do that, I have to cancel." Thanks NEC for the waste...

Anyone know if this is flicker free?

I have the VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 free license. vSphere Hypervisor 5 is free. I have it registered on computer 1. I have computer 2 that I want to use as a backup incase computer 1 goes down. The computer 2 evaluation period has expired (no key was required when installing ESX)...

The laptop hasn't been used much at all. The only thing installed is Windows 8 (from Dell) and then installed some work related stuff that is easy to install. Really no need for local backups. I'll see if I can't hunt down the Windows 8 disk to reinstall Windows. What tools would you...

I thought about this too but I have a dozen other programs (not games) that work without a hitch. I'm thinking that the games MAY have something to do with graphics card/drivers; I did update the graphics drivers but that didn't change anything.

LOL at all of the threads about Windows 10 issues. I have had a laptop that I barely use for about a year now and it came preloaded with Windows 8. I would have installed Windows 7 on it immediately but it has a touch screen and I couldn't find any Dell drivers for Windows 7. Last night I...

Why would someone play Borderlands 1 over Borderlands 2?

I'm looking for non-bloated firewall (paid or free) software for Windows 7 or 8. Back in the day I used Zone Alarm but my understanding is that Windows 7 and forward it has become very bloated. Items I liked: If a new connection is made it blocks it until you select "Allow, Allow Always...

tested Webdrive, worked great, much faster, purchased. Thank you :)

Very interesting, could bypass the vpn if necessary....

Hrrmm, so maybe Goodsync is using a differnet protocol. The ease of "mount drive" in Windows is awesome. I could technically setup ftp and stuff, but it is a like of adhoc grabbing of files, and sometimes even opening them on the remote server (like a word doc, pdf, etc) to view it and even...

So I have setup a VPN using Sonicwall router and Sonicwall Global VPN Client to access a file server, lets just name is F: for file server drive. I mount it in Windows as F: using the //<name-of-fileserver-on-remote-server> If I transfer a folder from F: to my local C: and it is, lets say...

I have an assistant that I am training to do many of the repetitious things that I do on a daily basis. I have to be semi-aware that she isn't dropping the ball, but I don't want to be active in it either. We work with vendors who usually email my direct email address for requests, etc. I...

I'm getting conflicting information here. Some have said that I can use FREE version of ESXi to use Veeam and other backup tools, and then some people are saying that I need to have a paid version of Vmware to use backup tools such as Veeam. I must admit I am very confused with the many...

So I booted up an old machine that is running Windows XP to do some work. I am trying to login to crm on-demand platform that is web based. It won't access the page. I try pinging it. It won't. I did a nslookup and it shows the correct ip address. I then do a tracert and it doesn't even...
