Android 6. Setting to have apps used SD card (not internal mem)

Depends upon what gui your phone manufacturer has place on top of the based Android operating system. More importantly I have noticed that some applications will not allow you to migrate the app from internal storage to SD card. With that said, some phones allow you to "extend" your internal...

Question about outsourcing

Sadly as the person that over the past 25 years in IT that provides support for both development and production applications and systems, I have seen what outsourcing produces. A few of the big draw backs to outsourcing regardless of the quality of the developer/support is: 1. Lack of the...

ASRock AB350 Pro4 with r7 1700

Pairing an R7 with a B350 motherboard is not a bad thing, just the R7 is more of an enthusiast cpu, and generally you see them paired with an enthusiast motherboard. The only thing you will lose is some PCI channels with the B350. But a good solid B350 motherboard paired with say R7 1700 will...

ASRock AB350 Pro4 with r7 1700

What is your primary use for the new build? Gaming, video work, just surfing? The B350 line of boards are great for the mainstream users, but I would question the pairing with the R7 series cpu's You might look at the R5 and save some coin to put towards a better graphics card, more memory or...

AMD chipset, yes or no?

My experience, is get the amd chipset drivers from amd. Often the vendor supplied versions are either older or contain bloat crap. If you want a lean mean Win 10 machine, clean install, update chipset drivers from AMD and Nvidia and run a 24 hour burn in to make sure you did your cooler...

Ryzen MB recommendation for dual boot Ubuntu/Win 10 build

From the linux side of the coin, there have been several good articles about using B350 motherboards, that seem to require at a minimum linux core version 4.10.1 or better. Here is a link to the servethehome.com that talks about what they have run across...

Repurposing a pc for htpc

I was going to use windows 7 media center to front end it, as Ceton seems to recommend that, and this is my first foray into htpc. Jim

Hispanic students vanish from Alabama schools

Well then you are part of the unique group of people willing to pay the price. I would wager most people are not willing to pony up and bear the burden. This is of course assuming that the Chicken Conglomerates (you know who you are), wouldn't milk the issue to start allowing for H1b for...

Hispanic students vanish from Alabama schools

Honestly it probably does not even cost the state close to $7000 in Alabama/year try more like $7000 for the total cost over 12+ years. Most states only contribute about 10% of the funding per pupil, the rest is local and federal taxes. Which means based upon the Alabama Education...

Hispanic students vanish from Alabama schools

You do realize that these illegal immigrants works for literally slave wages. Which directly translates into cheap food prices. Lose the cheap labor, lose the cheap food. So if your okay with paying around $3 or $4 per pound for chicken, or upwards of $1 or more for a head of lettuce then by...

SSD for database

As a DBA (yup they do exist), one of the biggest misconception is that a poorly architect database can be fixed with more hardware (there are exceptions). As pointed out by some posters above, the problem is more than likely with the database design or the application. You might contact the...

PS and cable length(s)

With the current trend of case manufacturers positioning the power supply at the bottom of the case. One of the big problems, I have been facing is that the 20/24 pin power cable and the 4/8 pin cpu power source cables are not quite long enough to reach their connection points. Which power...
