Hey guys. I got 5 e-mails within minutes in my inbox from a company named TechTarget.com USA. The subject discussed within these emails were not of interest to me. Yet I got these emails all of a sudden. This got me thinking about an old question I have. Can spyware get installed or code...

Some discussion forums void: *connection that come through TOR nodes. So no use to me. *They also void free e-mail accounts. For example fok.nl (if you can read Dutch). That's why I ask for advice

I need a good proxysevice or software. I also would like to know, If I use proxy, and use my IP's e-mail account to register on a forum. Will this forum somehow get to know my real IP address?

Hey! I've sent payment through my Bitcoin-wallet. But the transaction now has "sending" status for past 20 minutes. I did have to raise the "$" amount to (slightly over-)equal the requested "Bitcoin" amount to be sent. So the amount of $Dollars is not "official" as the requested payment stated...

I gave 10 a try. Searched ms for the persistant updates w10 installed. All I got was a blank page.

You think folks are So stupid they would buy into garbage if MS didn't nag them to install their new spyware, they would install it themselves? Ha! Well, you could be right... I see so many stupid people it flabbergasts me. " Oh I want Win10 does my new tablet come with Win10 darn I cannot...

Real funny how such nerd stupidity can rob hours of ones time. And still resolve nothing.

I need advice on how to fix the low speed transfers on my laptop, runing Win8 core with Intel 7 series chipset. And USB 3.0 ports. Seems the Intel drivers driving the usb ports, are by Microsoft. Intel's own updated own chipset drivers past 2012 cannot be installed on win8.0 (you need win7 or...

I can swear i always feel air movement around a hdd that's sitting naked on my table. My wd elements drive (a hdd inside plastic shell) typically has ventilation around one side of this shell going all the way to top. If it is operational. I can drfinitely feel air movement from this vent side...

Anyone with extensive hdd knowledge? I need to know how a hdd 'breathes'. All hdd's have these breather holes to equalize pressure inside to outer. Once a hdd spins up, is it true it sucks in surrounding air? And during operation will this initial air be conrinuesly refreshed with new air...

It makes sense if WD pops in refurbs in those external enclosures and give a limited limited waranty. Most carry externals from place to place so it would be "logical to have higher drive failures" and WD can blame it on the customer. Earn back your production costs and raw materials right...

Currently my Windows 8.0 core edition on my 2012 laptop is experiencing problems with certain external USB devices. So I thought to update the Intel xHCI driver. Device Manager says: Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0100 Microsoft Driver Date: 19/9/2012 <--------- Driver Version...

HI all. Glad to see my question got so many honest hardcore replies. As to laptops I did some more reading and now have 1 illusion less. Does the ux305 also come in a glare-screen version? It's all personal taste and most do not like glare-creens. But I do. If it bothers me I can use a...

I am a newbe to video-encoding. Will opening two instances of the software 'Handbrake', speed up transcoding of two videofiles simultaneously (1 file in each instance) on a processor with 4 physical cores (intel atom z3775)? I need to know because I need to decide on a (cheap) new laptop...

My laptop with a Core-i5 (@max2.7Ghz). Is set at 40% power (@max0.7Ghz). But it still heats up quickly within 5 minutes to 60-65-degrees (celcius) transcoding a video. With normal use (at the same lowered processor state of max0.7GHz) with less demanding tasks like websurfing. The cpu reaches...
