    BT Pushes Ahead with Plans to Switch Off Telephone Network

    The only thing that was good about POTS after awhile was that it worked when the power was out. With cell coverage these days it's not needed. I have a house phone on top of my cellular phone but my house phone is also cell based.

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    I read the terms and conditions posted on page 9 of this thread and these are my thoughts of reading them. If you are not a member of the program you can not use any nVidia logos on your product even if they contain a nVidia chip. I am especially fond of the line in there that they're not...

    Valve Dev Jess Cliffe Arrested for Child Sex Exploitation

    I'm confused by something though. If he was arrested and booked into jail how is it that he wasn't charged with a crime? Isn't that kinda the same thing?

    GPU Prices Skyrocket, Breaking the Entire DIY PC Market

    Bought my MSI 1070ti on Dec.23 for $649 CAD from Canada Computers not a great price but semi affordable. Not quite a month later and they're selling the same card now for $799 CAD. I'd try and flip it for some extra cash but then I would need to go back to my 7970 which is getting a little long...

    WinXP on a SSD ok?

    The biggest issue trying to get it working on any OS other than 2K or XP is that there are no other drivers available and it connects via an old adaptec SCSI card not USB or a parallel port. The printer in question is a Kodak 6400 photo printer that outputs 4x6 photos.

    WinXP on a SSD ok?

    I have a kodak photo printer that will not work on any OS newer than XP or 2K so I need to instal xp on an older machine with a small 40 GB intel ssd installed. Other than not having any trim support is there any reason not to instal to it? I would just junk the printer but this is a dedicated...

    verizon phone its locked or unlocked? LG lucid 2

    As far as I can determine via Google Verizon uses CDMA and both T-mobile and ATT use GSM the phone is probably incompatible with their LTE services. The phone should work with either of those carriers for calls and texts but as you have discovered not 4G LTE. So it seems the phone is not locked...

    Disney Sued for Tracking Kids on Mobile Games

    Gee look at that apparently the mother installed the app herself and the app did not ask for permission to track her child's activity. I guess there goes your parent fail theory. When Amanda Rushing downloaded the mobile game “Disney Princess Palace Pets” for her child L.L., she didn’t know...

    You Should Care about the Supreme Court Case on Toner Cartridges

    AFAIK this will not affect much price wise when the markets settle. The main sticking point in this lawsuit was not the sale of pre-used consumer cartridges per se but the resale of cartridges that originate from foreign countries where they are sold for less money with the disclaimer that they...

    Amazon Bans Sales of “Pirate” Media Players, Will Destroy Them

    I think Amazon is taking it's lead from the Kodi developers themselves. They do not want their name dragged through the mud and are themselves going after sellers that use the Kodi name and promote piracy. Example an add that specifies it has Kodi installed and tells people they can watch the...

    U.S. Supreme Court Considers Foreign Patent Rights Case

    I read the article but am still not 100% clear if they're talking about ink or toner cartridges. Does Lexmark still sell and or supply for inkjet printers in the U.S.? I've got a couple of Lexmark inkjets here that I can't get ink for because I'm told they don't sell consumer inkjets or supplies...

    Drones May One Day Buzz inside a Walmart near You

    I don't know about the states but in Canadian Walmarts or at least the one I used to work for there is no more "stockroom" as such.

    Use both discreet and onboard GPU.

    Yes you can use both the IGPU and a discrete video card at the same time. This has been possible since I believe the socket 1155 days provided the cpu in use features an integrated graphics processor which the 7700K does.

    Anyone owns a m.2 PCIe adapter card and your sys. no longer see your m.2 SATA drive?

    The last one you quoted has 2 M.2 SATA slots and one NVMe slot. Combined with a NVMe drive you will see the speed increase.

    Anyone owns a m.2 PCIe adapter card and your sys. no longer see your m.2 SATA drive?

    I don't know what you mean by losing your SSD but running a M.2 SATA SSD in that adapter will be no faster than a SATA III SSD. You will see improved speeds with a M2 NVMe Pcie SSD. Also be advised AFAIK you may or may not be able to boot from said drive depending on your OS and support of your...

    PCIe x16 to PCIe x4 riser card

    A x4 device should work in a x16 slot it will just ignore the unneeded connections that it isn't equipped with there is no need for what you're trying to do. The x4 is probably just a minimum requirement. Also quite frequently slot size does not always correlate to the connection speed. x4 slots...

    ISO Z270 MoBo with a chipset 8 lane PCIe slot for NIC

    Simple answer is no. There isn't enough lanes in the chipset. There's only 24 lanes from the cpu to work with 16 go to the slots the other 8 are used by the onboard controllers. Depending on what you are using the computer for you may not notice a difference between running the gpu on only 8...

    General troubleshooting tips for ASRock Z170 ITX/ac Motherboard

    Okay I was referring to the EPS cable because you didn't mention that it was connected in the first post wasn't sure if it was 4 or 8 pin on an itx m/b. Try clearing the bios. Also even seasoned system builders have an occasional brain fart so I have to ask are you sure you don't have a PCIe...

    What company does custom windows?

    Yes give that a try. I was going to suggest just going to a local business that does signs or sells plexi. You can choose to have it cut to your specifications in just about any shape you want and in whatever color you choose. I bet you could even find a local sheet metal shop that could laser...
