    Prepaid Plans - What Am I Missing?

    I've been on a prepaid plan for a few years now. I'm in the market for a new iPhone, and there are all these "deals" out there that give you "discounts" on the phones. However, they all require some postpaid "Unlimited" plan of service. These postpaid plans are all more expensive than my prepaid...

    Ubiquiti Traffic Monitoring Solution

    I want to go with a Ubiquiti router setup but they don’t seem to do long term traffic counting. I have a bandwidth cap and want to keep track of my month to month bandwidth. I do this easily now with my Nighthawk router. Any cheap and easy add on solutions for this?

    R7000 vs R8000

    I have loved my R7000 for 3 years until recently I started having wireless issues. I thought upgrading to a R8000 was a no brainer but it lasted 2 days before I took that piece of junk back to Best Buy for a refund. The range was horrible compared to my R7000. On 5G I was down to 1 Mbps in my...

    Patching 20-30 Windows VMs on My Laptop

    So, I keep around 20-30 Windows VMs on my laptop. I use VMWare Workstation. What technique or tool do you use to keep your monthly patches up? Right now I am booting each one up and connecting it to the Internet to check for patches. It sucks. I know there's a better way. What is it? Thanks!

    Graphics Card Works Every Other Boot - Fan @ 100%

    I thought my graphics card was toast the other day. I turned on my PC and the monitor was dead, and the GPU was putting out 100% fan. I hard powered the PC down. Then I figured out that if I turned it back on, the GPU would work. There is a 50/50 chance that when I cold boot, the GPU...

    Mouse feet / skates for Razer DeathAdder??

    I had to rip the mouse feet off the Razer DeathAdder I just bought from eBay because the right mouse button wasn't working. So I took the mouse apart and fixed it - but now I don't have any mouse feet. I saw the Hyperglide ones but they ship from Singapore and take a month to arrive...

    What DPI do you run your mouse for everyday usage?

    I don't know how 10,000 DPI is practical. Is this for higher resolutions than 1080p? PS I just got an adjustable DPI mouse (had the MX-518 but it didn't have such a wide range on the slider) but anything over about 3500 DPI seems unusable to me...

    Machine is Power Cycling Itself?
