Why is Top Gear USA still on?

Love the US version as long as they keep doing their own thing and not try to copy the Brit version. They will never be Clarkson, Hammond or May and they should not. The best US episodes I love are the trucks, pickups, whatever is American. Americans Toughtest Trucks, Continental Divide, Death...

New Receiver wanted - Home network Audio/Itunes etc

Thanks guys! Ok I just realized I really have not been using Kodi's music feature to its fullest by any means. I also just remembered that I have the official remote app installed on her ipad. That thing, which I have not used in for ever, acts as a "tv" of sorts as you can see your tv...

New Receiver wanted - Home network Audio/Itunes etc

Wait sorry. The chromecast I am confused now. If I currently have a receiver, tv and htpc running kodi controlled by a harmony remote, what advantage does a chrome cast do for me? You mentioned hooking it up to my receiver. I was to a hook one up in my office for sun but I think I am missing...

New Receiver wanted - Home network Audio/Itunes etc

Lol ok so Kaido my wife agrees.... Let's get a simple sonos play:1 for the first floor. It's so small or portable really we can move and hook it up on our deck outside for an afternoon if we hang outside. I mean we will consider the Sonos 3 for about $100 more but maybe the 1 is all we need...

New Receiver wanted - Home network Audio/Itunes etc

Sigh my head hurts. So I bought a Wink Hub. That is mainly for lights and the fireplace, my Ecobee etc. You linked the Logitech Harmony Home. Dang that looks nice. You would think I could do something with my 1100 but nooooo. It's like the Onkyo 635 and 808 I have not being used. All...

Programs like Cognos Impromptu

For over 15 years I’ve been working for a government agency, looking at relational databases, analyzing data, building reports and cubes for clients, operations, budgets, running queries etc. It’s all I do. In fact running ad hoc queries is 85% of my day based on constant urgent...

Smart Home & Home Automation discussion thread

I have been searching for days with no luck. I am trying to simply connect my very common home natural gas fireplace to a "smart"... something or anything, so I can turn it on/off etc., using an iphone/iPad etc. My fireplace is controlled by a very simple wall switch which is millivolt. On or...

Trying to extend wireless signal at farm -- Antenna booster or try a Repeater?

Thank you sdifox and smitbret Wow don't know what to say. I looked at the link you provided sdifox, the Ubiquiti wifi bridge is simply incredible. I had NO idea you could get something that can transmit WIFI that far. So instead of buying a crazy (hoping for the best) $270++ Wifi Router hoping...

Trying to extend wireless signal at farm -- Antenna booster or try a Repeater?

Good morning. I am trying to decide on a solution for my father's rural small farm. He does not get any sort of actual high speed INTERNET out there. I have tried calling every possible solution (Canada here), and really the only option, which we went for, is using a Fido Hotspot device. It's...

Cloning/Mirroring my Desktop to a TV with SLI?

Before you do anything, look at your Nvidia driver app. Look at the part that says SLI. You will see a few options. Maximize 3d performance, Span Displays with Surrond, Activate All displays, Disable SLI. You will see a diagram with options. I had 2 GTX 580's in SLI and had TV and monitor...

Anyone use a blackberry 10 device?

Still rocking my Z10 since day one if its release. My problem is that i really don't have much experience with other phones, even though my wife has an iPhone 6 and my dad uses Nexus 5. I've used them a bit but not enough to compare keyboards. Honestly the best reason to use a BB is the Hub...

Gonna try running a Firewire 800 SSD as my iMac boot drive

Thank you so much Eug! Got the Evo 500 and the same enclosure ordered. Will install that app when the time comes! Yah for sure the best solution would have been to do the hardrive swap inside the machine, but heck... I want that easy button :), and add to that she was not keen on anyone --...

Best Browser to save on data

Hi folks, When using a cell phone's hotspot to connect a laptop for everyday use, what browser offers the best "compression" of data, for lack of a better description? The issue is that when the laptop (older Windows 7) connects to the hotspot, so it's connected through WiFi, it cares not that...
