    netsvcs burning ~10% cpu at idle? Win 8.1 pro

    I recently moved to Win 8.1 (clean install) and I'm having an odd issue where my CPU usage never drops below 10-11%. Ressource monitor shows that it's svchost.exe (netsvcs) that's responsible, burning 8-11% cpu and averaging around 9%. when I check services I see the ProfSvc is usually...

    backup software for Win 8.1?

    About to upgrade to 8.1 and need to make a decision on backup software. I have been using Norton Ghost 15 on Win 7 and it does most of what I'd like it to, but it's discontinued and the reviews on it's replacement are not so hot for win 8. I was previously on Acronis and had nothing but...

    Improving spam filtering for email accounts on a personal domain?

    I have a personal web site and email account that is controlled through cpanel. I have spam assassin set to auto-delete anything with a score of 7 or higher. This, for most of the last 5-6 years, has kept spam to a minimum, maybe 4 or 5 made it though a month. That all changed with the adobe...

    run win7 32bit like XPmode?

    I have one piece of software that doesn't, and likely won't ever, run properly in a 64bit OS. Until now I've been using the free XP mode from Win7 Pro to run this, but I'm concerned that with XP support going away, I may be opening myself up to problems if I continue to use XP mode. Can I...

    Chainsaws....

    what I've been told by the most knowledgeable tree guy I've ever met: Big saws and small climber saws: stihl Medium saws: Husqvarna Small saws: don't discount corded AC saws, like the Husq 316E They work pretty well for smaller jobs and are much lower maintenance. He also recommended...

    2013 Annual Anandtech Tax Time Thread!

    Last year my employer pulled up stakes in the state and laid everybody off. I went freelance, and thus didn't collect unemployment, but I did pay substantial COBRA premiums till the end of the year. Is there any way I can deduct these? It looks like I'm not eligible for the HCTC since I...

    Pure rendering machine for £500-600

    Some clarification: Vray has several different processing methods. Vray RT is the 'real time' technology that uses the GPU to show what is basically a render preview that updates in real time. Most folks use RT to check lighting and materials, then use one of the non-RT options for the final...

    Will a macro lens help in this situation?

    Macro lenses have a shorter minimum focus distance (AKA close focus distance or working distance) - it's not all about depth of field. Sometimes with these kinds of shots you want a short focus distance and a short depth of field, to blur out the background. So the macro lens might help, if...

    New hardware coming from Nest- Nest Protect - 'Intelligent' smoke/CO2 alarm

    Kinda cool, and I really hate pulling down the smoke detectors when the oven gets a little smokey, so I'd be all about that hand wave to turn off thing. But I wouldn't bother unless I had power hard wired to the detectors. 6 lithium AAs per device for the battery model is pretty wasteful even...

    Just googled images Detroit blight. Is there any hope?

    A lot of people left over the years. That works out to empty space and empty buildings - what really did you expect? The real low point was the late 80s. At that point, the city had gone decades with little or no new development as many waited to see when, or if, the tide would turn. No...

    Homes that are just a front door next to a garage door....fugly?

    to answer the original question: Context matters. It can work, but generally in modern structures, in semi-urban areas. Cruddy tract homes are pretty low on quality in general, I don't think it's the garage position that's the biggest thing I wish they'd address.

    What is the best place to rent Lenses?

    Incident #1, I needed AM delivery. I called, they said just place a note in the web order form and they'll take care of it. They didn't. That resulted in a hurried run to the local shop just have something close to what I needed and still make it to the site on time. Incident #2, placed...

    What is the best place to rent Lenses?

    I get the best deals from my local place. Selection isn't great, prices are. Lensrentals seems to have the best selection+price combo, but in three attempts to do business with them, they've screwed up every time. They're always apologetic and quick to refund, but I'm pretty much done with...

    10th Annual Tax Thread - 2012

    one more question on this. I've got everything wrapped up and entered in to turbotax, but it keeps throwing an error because the date of sale is 2013 instead of 2012. Will the irs have any problem with this or is it a simple matter of turbotax not understanding that the taxes are due for the...

    10th Annual Tax Thread - 2012

    I had a 1982 series EE savings bond reach final maturity last year. I know I need to pay taxes on it for 2012, but I didn't get around to cashing it in until yesterday. I've got a slip from my back that lists the interest earned, though I'm not sure the 1099-int will show up in time. It looks...

    Is this apartment really 820sq ft (without patios)?

    But how do you know your current apartment is being measured the same way you're attempting to estimate this one? did you measure out 750 or is that what the apartment complex published? You're trying to achieve a level of precision that is A) nearly impossible and B) largely irrelevant due to...

    Is this apartment really 820sq ft (without patios)?

    2 things: 1) There are various well defined standards for measuring square footage. Do you count mechanical/ service areas or not? Measure to the centerline of a wall, face of finish, or outside? Gross, net, rentable, etc. all get defined differently by different organizing bodies (BOMA, FICM...

    What is the cost of sound-proofing a room?

    So far I haven't seen a response in this threat that approaches anything I'd call fully informed. So: 1) Most architects and engineers won't give you an optimal design. You'll get a lot of "this is what we've always done" and "this is the only way to do it." 2) Most contractors won't get the...

    >4TB Drives - When?

    Currently have (2) 2TB in both my workstation and backup enclosure, but that's filling up quickly with D800 photos. I've got about 350GB of space left, which I'm guessing will become problematically small in 6 months to a year. I figured I would upgrade once we got to 6TB single drives, but...

    WD "Red" drives? At Newegg.

    Red is actually the lowest level of JWs blended whiskeys. The price/quality escalation goes Red Black Gold Blue With Green being off on it's own as a "pure malt" whiskey (not the same as single malt). Price wise, it's generally a little under gold.

    DDR3-1600 ECC unbuffered 8GB sticks?

    I don't suppose there's anywhere to buy that OEM GeForce GT 640 (GDDR5), is there?

    well, that sucks. But if there's a coupon in the near future it might be reasonable. I've gotten a few monitors for free from dell by buying a discounted package system and then selling the box alone for about what I paid. At current prices though, I don't see getting out of it with the card...

    I don't suppose there's anywhere to buy that OEM GeForce GT 640 (GDDR5), is there?

    What is the typical weight limit of an attic floor?

    well, weight limit really isn't the right term. There are code-reguired design loads for various types of spaces, usually an allocation for dead load (the building and fixed things) and live load (people and furniture, things that can move around) Design loads will be significantly less than...

    Found a house I want to buy

    In some markets, maybe. Around here I've seen plenty of folks put up $400-600 for a few hours time and a brief report. The problem is, they often DON'T find problems. Having seen dozens of clients, not to mention several licensed architects and engineers, get burned by trusting that their...

    Found a house I want to buy

    While home inspections are usually required, and a reasonable superficial practice to go through, it's important to remember that inspectors have little to no real liability (read the fine print on the contract), and often rely on realtors for business...So they can be hesitant to be too vocal...
