Okay, I'm in Arizona. First few years, phone continued as normal. About a year ago, it started giving me emergency alerts in English AND Spanish, but the audio was only in English. A few months later, it started doing the audio in Spanish as well, following the English. Now it's only doing the...

Not sure what's inside, but better than refurbished drives.
Occurred today, this afternoon. Timestamp of directories are when I wasn't accessing that NAS with anything. I shut down every other device on the network in the meantime. The only new device I have is a Fire 10 hd tablet which I just got, used, but supposedly had been reset before I got it...
Looking for a cookie manager, which will load a page with a list of current cookies with check boxes next to them, which I can then 'select all' and then tick off the ones I don't want to delete, and then just click something which deletes all of the rest. Right now, I have to go into chrome and...
Windstorm yesterday caused internet outage via ISP; but I can still connect to all my NAS and other computers over wifi within my house network. However, if I tether a computer to my cellphone to access the internet, the computer shuts off the house's wifi connection from that computer while...
I want to get rid of the Suddenfink router. Suddenfink current deal is $50 a month which expires in 2 months and goes up to $100 a month for 250GB/month data cap, with their own provided cable modem router (with which I can't change the wifi name OR passwords). So can I use the old DSL wifi...
I'm using chrome (partially because firefox seems unable to import bookmarks and such; I try, it says it's successful, but doesn't actually work). Reading yahoo articles, a video window keeps popping up which moves down and keeps covering the text of the article. I have a data cap, and don't...
I have an old phone, a 1st gen Moto x, with only 11GB available storage internally and no micro SD slot. Has anyone ever tried removing the cellular info sim card, and installing a nano memory card into the sim slot, to use the phone for just internet wifi browsing and media playing? I don't...
I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk X6 tri band router using it's standard up to date firmware (1.0.4.28).
What would be a good wireless usb3 adapter to attach to my PC's to make the most of it's capabilities? This router will be in the center of my vacation home which is approx 60'x60'...
As the screen eats power like mad, I need to keep the phone plugged in while on the train. something with a two window pane side by side that would make it easy to just copy videos back and forth from the usb drive to the sd card in the phone.
I have four SSD's in the system. My win 7 drive was slowing down, so it was time to reinstall. Having time, I decided to make a drive each with win 8, ubuntu, and 7. My drives are in an icydock, so I can quickly slide them out of the connection while reinstalling an os onto it's own drive...
Last night, while web browsing, all of a sudden I get a full screen ransomware type, with message on screen AND audio telling me I have to click on something and/or call them OR they will be forced to lock all the files on my computer 'to prevent the spread of the malicious files'. Before it...
I have an android Moto X. 16 GB model. Here are the screenshots of what I have; highlighted it shows 7.1 GB used for the folders, then another 14 MEGA bytes for the few files in the root directory. That's still under 8GB. Where is the rest of my storage? When I click properties for the whole...
Odd. I have a win7 64 machine. 4 ssds. Boot drive is a samsung 120, a samsung 500, a crucial 128, and an imation 16. So, I disconnect all, remove the win 7 boot drive. Replace with a blank ssd, install win 10. No changes in the bios, set to ahci.
After the successful install of win 10, I shut...
This is a continuing problem. After a few years, windows cannot read my optical disks. There's nothing wrong with the drive, or the disks, if I move them to another machine with a more recent install of windows, they work. And when I reinstall windows on the same machine, it works fine. I'm just...
As above, I'm looking for the closest thing to an IBM m keyboard, but with native usb connector? I have several ibm m keyboards for home use, and have used various adapters, the ziotec being the one that has worked most often. However, I cannot get any to work with the Dell d610 laptop. so, what...
Best friend offered me an identical MSI r6950 twinfrozr 3 card to one I already have in my current machine for free. If I crossfire these, how does that stack up to what's available today? Will I be able to put off buyiing a new card for a few years? I only game in 1080p right now. Both cards...
Every once in a while (most recently, on Motley Fool website) a pop up box will appear saying something to the effect, 'Wait! do you really want to leave this webpage? Click here to confirm.'. My belief is that any pop up box that locks the browser and forces you to click on it is probably...
When I try to upload pictures of my item to sell on a site such as ebay or craigs list, the order defaults to the size of the files even though I want them in order by when I took them (I don't modify my pictures). I can right click and change the order to which I want, but is there a way to...
Case for my new build, needs to fit Swiftech 320 cooler. Smallest possible, please, I would have put it into my SG01 but didn't want to chop part of the back off.
Anyone know? The female connectors on the PS look the same in the pictures, and there's this on sale right now: http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=94405&vpn=220-G2-0750-XR&manufacture=eVGA&promoid=1060 EVGA Supernova 750 G2
Way back when, a friend and I considered building a computer inside a tiny refridgerator, and just running all the wires through a grommet in the side of the box. However, it was too small, and non forced air, so it turned out not to be as good an idea as we thought. But it brings to mind the...
When they upgraded the kindle app, it became un-downloadable to the ipad 1. Anyone know any tricks to download an older version from somewhere? Or, in getting the new version to work with iOS 5.1? Apparently there was a version that worked, but when they 'upgraded' it you can't download it...
One of the fan's bearings seems to be dying; I'm getting intermittant slow starts (in comparison to the other fan) that lasts several minutes with the rumbling sound familiar to bearing failure. It just started a few days ago. Noise usually only on startup, but occasionally on change of fan...
O.K., if I'm away on business, and I need to retrieve a file from a pc or nas on my home network, but I'm using someone else's computer. I know my home's router ip address, username and password, internal address of the pc at home that I need to access, of course my username and password for my...
I've been going round in circles for days, searching google for this info. I cannot install xp onto my computer until I somehow either slipstream the ahci drivers onto the installation disk, or put them into a usb etc.. Of course, the drivers don't really exist anywhere, intel puts everything...
I turned on my computer. did nothing, went to make lunch. Came back, and found a message from a software company telling me I had to update their program. Now, there's nothing in my startup folder, nothing in the run or runonce sections of the registry connected to this program, and I can't find...
When viewing other people's systems with the pre built water coolers like the Antec 620, I see lots of them with both the hoses on top or bottom; wouldn't that make the fluid just go across the tank at the end of the radiator instead of throgh the fins? What's the correct configuration for the...
Now replacing all my mechanical drives.

If you want the pro version, it's $473...
Can I take one of the disks out and just put it in another computer, then add a blank to each of those computers to create basically the same system on both and the raid array can just duplicate the second (initially blank) disk just like the first to make a raid array again? Also, is it...
Looking to replace my aged NEC 3500 series optical drives with new sata interface ones (SATA to IDE converters seem to be almost as expensive as new drives!). My old NEC's have performed flawlessly for about 10 years. Hate factory firmwares that limit ripping speed, and don't want region locked...
I found my C drive filling up; found assorted numbered directories at C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\Application data\google\chrome\application. Date modified for all but the last is months behind, usually about a month apart, and it looks like it's all the same type of...
I wanted to upgrade an older computer, a Shuttle st61g4. Running XP, with one gig memory and a Northwood 3 gig P4 processor and ATI 4650 agp video, it will play 720p video just fine as well as dvd's. But when I try to use SSD's it doesn't recognize them after the initial phase of installation...
Just want a PCI card to occasionally watch full screen hd video. Computer is ancient by today's standards, P3 with 1 gig memory, all SCSI drives, Tyan dual proc motherboard with tual P3 tualatins. Currently has one of the 1990's ATI all in wonder cards with 128 meg memory which can display 1080...
I live alone; have a pc in every room. I'm looking for some type of software that I can play my blu-ray discs with which does not require that I purchase a license for every machine. I'm willing to shell out for one copy. I don't need any bells and whistles, no zoom, no nothing. Just something...
When I pulled the cd/hard drive cage out, off popped the card reader cable, now I can't find where it goes! There doesn't seem to be any reference to it in the manual. I searched with google, read page after page for over two hours. Anyone know where on the motherboard this 5 pin female plug...
I have an old Shuttle st61g4; has a pci and agp slot, pentium northwood 3ghz, 1 gig ram, running xp sp3. Works fine, but I would like to play my blue ray disks in it, and the 2003 era imbedded ati9100 chip can't seem to handle it. Anyone know a decent cheap video card that will fit into it, in...
Not sure where I should post this, but I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering about this.
O.K., so I bought a iphone 3gs in 2010, supposedly the chip in it supports 802.11a. I thought that apple would eventually upgrade the firmware to allow wifi; my home is 802.11a. So, apparently even the...
