    I upgraded from Win10 home to pro. Since then it requires my MSN password to log into the local machine. How do I switch back to using the machine password? I troveled through all the related settings but couldn't find it.

    2230 NVMe M.2 SSD with DRAM cache and non-QLC?

    Looking for a 2230 NVMe M.2 SSD with DRAM cache and not being QLC. Any suggestions? Capacity doesn't matter much, 256 GB minimum, more is better. Any idea what the flash is on this one? I know it doesn't have DRAM...

    Flexible fan holders: gooseneck, or like soldering third hands

    I want holders for fans to point them toward arbitrary positions inside an open case. Something that clamps to the edge of the case, holds the fan and has something in between that is flexible but stays in position after flexing. Examples would be goosenecks (like on lamps) or the bendable...

    Any way to get an Apple TV 4k cheaper?

    Everything is on sale, except I can't find any discounts on Apple TV 4Ks in the US. Amazon generally doesn't have them since they compete with Amazon's own hardware. The best I could do is $5 off at Costco. Any ideas? I'm spoiled and don't want to pay full price :)

    File/directory based music player for Android?

    I have a mirror of my music in /sdcard/Music/music/ as plain files (all bought). There are also playlists in winamp format (which is just one filename per line). What is a good Android program to play these? I think I once used actual Winamp on Android, but there seem to be only fake ones...

    Tethering performance problems on T-Mobile in the US

    I have low performance when tethering on T-mobile in the US. Like dialup slow. A while back I could solve that by setting the TCP TTL from 64 to 65 on the tethering computer which sabotaged the mechanism to tell whether a TCP connection is tethered. But this seems to do nothing now. I currently...

    New mouse most like the original Razer Diamondback?

    What's a new mouse to check out when your best mouse so far was the original Diamondback? I used to own one but the ex-wife has it now. P.S. it is important to me that it isn't a mouse that defaults to high DPI and need to wait for a driver to load to behave normally after login.

    Swiftech Storm block - any mounting kits for modern sockets?

    I still have a case with a water loop with a Switech Storm block, ca. 2006. Is there any way to make that block work on modern sockets? 1151? 2066? AMD3? Any third party kits available? Would be a nice trick, partially nostalgic.

    55" 4k: QLED or direct backlight?

    Can't make up my mind. Want a 55" 4k TV. QLED sounds interesting, and I can have the 55" Q6 for $1000. On the other hand, those are edge lit and the TCL 55R617 (R6 version) is back lit and costs $630. I had bad experiences with Samsung TVs, so... mumble. Then of course there are Samsung OLED...

    Driver that takes a joystick and emulates a wheel/pedal set?

    I want to play a racing game. I used to use a joystick which worked just fine. However, the modern console-ported crap only supports wheel sets. It should be reasonably easy to write a driver that pretends to be a wheel and pedal set and takes input from a joystick. However, I didn't find any...

    Can I "serve out" to eSATA using a ZFS backed system?

    Is there a solution to present on an eSATA port a block device that I back with a ZFS system of my choice? Of course I am aware that eSATA would be block layer so I have to do file-in-filesystem, however ZFS already supports this when you serve out iSCSI. I would like to do the same thing but...

    Any vllendor other than Asus supporting ECC in plain AM3+ boards?

    Cheap Asus boards with consumer CPUs used to be a good source of mine for ECC-enabled small computer. Intel ditched the concept, AMD doesn't support it with APUs but the main AMD CPU still do. Problem is - I'm no longer touching anything Asus. Is there anybody else that has a regular board...

    ECC memory

    Here's a post from the "cool story, bro" department. Maybe relevant to those who think ECC doesn't matter with today's RAM and it's error rates (not that anybody knows what those are).

    Galaxy Nexus owners - where will you go?

    No KitKat for our GNs. Where do I go now? I have to say that some weaknesses of the GN really went on my nerves, namely the wimpy speakers and the camera, and the performance under 4.3 isn't good, especially when turning it 90 degrees. But it doesn't look like the Nexus 5 is that much better...
