    Help: Disintegrated SD Card

    I'm quite proficient at soldering. I did something similar: I took an unused USB reader and broke the top surface off, exposing the guts. Laying a known-good SD card on the prongs of the reader, I was surprised to have it not register, even though the LED on the reader changed color. I'm...

    Help: Disintegrated SD Card

    Somehow the plastic casing of a camera's SD card broke into numerous pieces while I had the card sitting loose in my waistpack. The contents of the card are reasonably important to me. Aside from the plastic pieces, I believe the resultant circuit board with USB "prongs" is intact. Does...

    Possibly Corrupted Wireless Router

    Then I'll apologize for the misunderstanding! I took that term to mean something more than a mere antivirus program.

    Possibly Corrupted Wireless Router

    Well, after fighting this for the better part of a week, I may have solved it. The problems got worse and worse - various bizarre SSL errors, blank pages on HTTPS sites, no images loading on primarily-graphic sites (eBay, etc.) giving grotesque text-only pages, and even corrupted downloads...

    Possibly Corrupted Wireless Router

    Thanks for the quick response. This is the latest fast build cycle (14942). No suites installed - one runs Avira, and the other I believe (it's out in the car) happens to use AVG. Just plain old AV. Not trying to be argumentative, but the fact that I've used both for several hours at three...

    Possibly Corrupted Wireless Router

    I've been fighting an unusual problem with two of my laptops for a couple days. The main symptom is that major search engines (Google & DuckDuckGo) come up with blank pages. Obscure engines such as Dogpile seem OK. At first I thought it was the brand new Windows 10 14942, as the problems...

    Burning 4X BD-Rs at 10X in my 14X burner. Am I crazy?

    Yawn! You haven't lived if you didn't first use paper tape. Cassettes were a magnificent upgrade over that previous technology.

    Win7 HP SP1-U x64 - more update madness

    Have to argue with this assertion. If that were true, why would "they" release the 32 bit version that can't even address more than ~3 Gigs? Art

    LASAGNA for Supper Tonight Yummy Yummy

    Just yesterday I made the "Classic Lasagna" from the Simply Scratch site, http://www.simplyscratch.com/2012/11/classic-homemade-lasagna.html This was the second time I'd made it; I think it's a magnificent recipe, superior to what I've been using for decades. I happen not to like pieces or...

    Sanders? Sanding benches and fence

    Have you considered a belt sander? I'd think that would make quick work of the 12' benches. I don't use mine (a Makita) very often, but it is a real pleasure for tasks where it's an appropriate tool. Art

    If anyone can help

    Don't know where you live, and this might be more appropriate for a heavily-populated area, but: have you checked your local CraigsList under "free stuff"? I'm sure many of us have sadly discarded/recycled obsolete computer equipment while being aware that it could find an appreciative second...

    Unexpected Connection Issue

    This was my R61; that's essentially a T in slightly-heavier packaging, and has routinely connected to a different Coffee Bean's wi-fi. This happened to be one I don't go to especially often. It's not a password-protected site; it's one of those where they intercept the first connection...

    privacy fences - 6ft vs 8ft

    Agreed that it is an attractive fence. And also agreed that it is somewhat stark and unsettling. It might take a year or two, but appropriate landscaping - a climbing vine or simply some tall bushes against the fence - will give a more-coherent appearance to the yard.

    Unexpected Connection Issue

    The patient is an IBM Thinkpad, dual-boot 8.1 and 7. Normally it runs 8.1. I took it to a coffee shop this weekend, and the 8.1 side refused to connect to the shop's wi-fi. I got the "taking longer than expected" report, and eventually it decided it couldn't connect. OK, that happens once in...

    St. Patty's 2015

    I usually celebrate it by wearing as much orange as possible - orange shirt, orange tie, orange socks, (don't own orange pants), orange cycling armwarmers, orange cycling windbreaker. And fortunately my car is orange. Art

    I'm making some coffee.

    When I grew up on the East coast, Eight O'Clock, Red Circle, and Bokar (sp?) were the A&P house brands. I don't think A&P exists any more - who sells Eight O'Clock these days? Of course the important question is: by what means are you brewing the coffee? Art

    Recommend e-mail software?

    Interesting rant - thanks! I agree that the limitations of rules are sometimes between awkward and impossible - good point. I've always used PST files, not OST, and simply haven't had those corruption issues in lord-knows-how-many years. I can see why you'd be somewhat unenthused about the...

    Recommend e-mail software?

    Could you elaborate a little? I use Thunderbird for Usenet, but have never seen a reason to switch from Outlook for email (I use 2003, 2010, and 2013 on various computers.) The arguably-obnoxious Microsoft ribbon interface used in Office 2007 and up seems less irritating on Outlook than in...

    Need a Wetting Agent

    I don't care about its pH level, as the solution isn't going on the cat or anything else (unless I accidentally tip over the bowl.) Just trying to get the fleas to sink down and drown before they can jump away. Are dishwasher rinse agents merely surfactants in drag??? Thanks for the various...

    Need a Wetting Agent

    Perhaps a bit of an odd request. I need to frequently flea-comb my cats, as the Advantage product seems to be gradually losing effectiveness in recent years. If I pull off a flea, I like to drop it into a bowl of water; they're somewhat hard to crush without sometimes making a fast getaway...

    Wireless printer shutting down PC

    Is it possible that your machine is blue-screening (perhaps some sort of weird driver issue with the printer or networking) and is simply set to automatically restart? Could you temporarily disable that feature out of the Startup and Recovery tab from System Properties and see if that gives you...

    I am forced to buy my meds from Canada

    I've been using Costco mailorder for my cats' ongoing prescriptions...one does not have to be a Costco member. I recently stumbled on a site called GoodRx.com, and it seems to offer coupons at not cost which greatly reduce the normal walk-in pharmacy prices. Has anyone had any experience with...

    Cleaning out your PC case ...

    I take it outside and use a leafblower. I hold my finger on the CPU fan to keep it from going supersonic. For a friend whose constantly-preening big bird coats everything in the room with an impressive layer of white feather dust, it results in what looks like an atomic bomb's mushroom cloud...

    Wireless Won't Reconnect

    I have the Windows 10 preview installed on a Lenovo T60p Thinkpad. Recently - possibly after the recent new version release, but not for sure - I'm having a wireless connection issue. After hibernating the machine, and bringing it back up, it can't connect to any networks. That's normally...

    Do you curse or have other people cursing in your workplace??

    Bootup "Printer Error" on Epson Workforce 630

    Thanks as always. I have to believe that this failure is being reported on the printer before Windows ever gets hold of it - it never goes Ready; it's still in the process of coming up. If you really think that's the issue, I can simply have the very untechnical owner, to whom a "driver" is...

    Bootup "Printer Error" on Epson Workforce 630

    A friend has the above-named unit; it's one of those typical budget fax/copy/scan/print inkjet units. A sporadic problem has become consistent: the unit will not boot, with the less-than-helpful message "Printer Error" in the display panel. Does anyone have an inkling how one can get a...

    Help me make the most of 65W!

    A couple years ago I built such a machine as a gift. It has been running fine. In the little Antec 65 watt ISK case, I installed an Asus P8H61-I MB, an I3-2120T, an SSD, 8 GB of Ram, and an appropriate small DVD unit. I was using it yesterday while visiting the recipient, and I remain very...

    YATT: waiter tried to screw us with bill

    Am I the only one here who tips on the value of the meal prior to deducting the "buy one get one free" (or 50% off or whatever) ??? I figure the waiter/waitress shouldn't suffer a loss because of the restaurant's promotional policy. That being said, I would have described the incident in a...

    Q: Fool 2003 Drivers?

    Thanks to Imagoon, the gigabit drivers were successfully installed. It's backing up one of the laptops as we speak. The only issue, right now, is that my main desktop computer is still picking up the old IP address, even after a FLUSHDNS operation. I suppose I can put an entry in the...

    Q: Fool 2003 Drivers?

    Probably a shot in the dark here, but why not?! I have a Window Home Server box, a tiny Asus Mini TS machine. It's been a real pleasure over the years and the tiny Atom-based processor is extremely power-efficient. The box only has a 10MB hard-wired LAN connection, which can be a bit of a...
