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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I have the Starcraft II expansion, "Heart of the Swarm" commonly known as HOTS that I simply haven't had time to install and play. I have the sealed retail box, however, I will open it and send you the key code via PM (won't mail the retail box unless you pay for the shipping). For this...

May have seen my other thread about backing up a server. I have a Dell PowerEdge T410 desktop server running some virtual machines. I want a uninterruptible power supply for the unit so that during electrical storm dirty electricity doesn't get to the server and also if an outage takes place...

Does anyone use imap with outlook? It is ridiculously slow. I deal with a lot of big attachments (5 to 10mb) and when I click on one of those emails I literally have to wait a solid minute for the email to even be viewed. Any ideas on ways around this? Would Outlook using Exchange be the...

One of the tasks a fellow employee at work has to do is circle of a bunch of signature lines in a PDF document. The PDF document areas to circle are always the same and so there should be some program to automate this. Basically the PDF is 20 pages and on about 10 of the pages there are...

I have a Dell server that has VMware ESXi 5.1.0 on it that is running a Windows Server 2008 VM and a few Ubuntu VMs. I have scripts to encrypt and backup data to Amazon AWS but only hard files (and scripts for the databases). At the end of the day if the hard drive crashes we have the...

Company I work for is looking for a few 6 to 10 second custom animation clips to put out on a LED sign. The ratio is 72x126. The LED sign manufacturer suggests any video animations be 5 to 10 times larger but so that they shrink down to the 72x126. I can send you an example. Looking for...

Many years ago I read through "Heads First: PHP & MySQL" which was a great read. It started at a very basic level and went more and more advanced with "real life" web projects. So it would teach the concept and then put the concept to use in a project type example. That way the reader could...

I recently picked up a BenQ XL2420T to get my hardcore Quakelive gaming on. There is a noticeable difference in FPS games running at 120FPS. However...... I've noticed that if I do a 1 hour sitting of playing a fast paced FPS like Quakelive that I turn into a zombie afterwards. My eyes...

I figured out to use *:443 and *:80 in httpd.conf (well virtual host file) to rewrite traffic into a webserver where someone's domain DNS is pointing to your apache server IP. What are some methods that you use to prevent DNS munchers munching at your web server resources? .htaccess? virtual...

As I understand it, Windows Server 2012 Standard has one physical and two virtual licenses. Windows Server 2008 Standard has one physical and one virtual (but the physical cannot run any services). So why can't someone just buy Windows Server 2012 Standard, install it on the physical, and...
