    Windows 10: context menu missing items

    Running Windows 10 RTM (1511 + all current updates) and I'm noticing right click context menus, usually, but not always, missing items from the list. If I know where they are (the order) I can still use the menu (for example to create a new folder) but don't see the labels. I'm seeing this on...

    Any chromebook owner here?

    I also have a C720 2GB and the only real draw back is the screen - OK but not great. I easily get 10 hours of battery life such that when I went to a conference I could leave the charger in the hotel room all day. Regarding printing and file sharing: I use a Synology NAS which works as a...

    Chromebook - is 4GB RAM needed?

    I'm thinking of getting a Chromebook as a small, good battery life laptop. That it runs only a browser is fine. What I wonder about is whether the jump to 4GB RAM from 2GB is necessary? On the Acer C720, for example, 4GB adds $120. In addition, how much SSD space is used up by the OS...

    Is the onboard sound good enough?

    No, onboard sound is not good enough for listening to classical music. Get a USB DAC to go with your speakers. What's your budget? What speakers are you planning on?

    SOLVED: Issues with new Logitech MK550 Keyboard / Mouse combo

    I have the same keyboard and experienced that issue (the keyboard issue) when I plugged the dongle directly into the motherboard (an Asrock H61 board in my case). The problem was eliminated when I put the dongle on a 3 ft USB extension cable. Maybe has to do with RF interference. (I do have the...

    Recommend a distro for old Toshiba laptop

    I tried Lubuntu in a VM. It looks a lot like Windows which should ease the transition. Is there any way to load up a let's say 8 or 16 GB flash drive with a bunch of live cds (choosable at boot time)? I'm thinking I could bring all the options with me when I visit my folks.

    Since Windows XP is going out of support in spring I plan on moving my dad's old laptop (specs below) to Linux over the holidays. I'm most familiar with Ubuntu but other distros would be ok if more appropriate. I have the current Ubuntu w/Unity installed on my desktop and Ubuntu 11 w/Gnome...

    Windows 8.1. as HTPC OS

    I just tried Microsoft's new Remote Desktop app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.android&hl=en) on my Nexus 7 which makes the Metro UI much more palatable as an HTPC. I've got a tile for Media Center plus Netflix, MediaMonkey, and the xbox Video and Music apps.

    Streaming telnet logger to MySQL database, Linux

    I would probably use Python for this with the modules telnetlib and mysql.connector. There's a function conn.read_until(string) that can watch for strings and then respond with conn.write - you use this to login (but could also watch for a termination in a loop if you will need to do multiple...

    added a second monitor now text looks garbled when scrolling

    Running everything at stock speeds and temps are within parameters. The issue occurs on both monitors regardless of which is primary. Tried switching primary monitor setting. Turning a monitor off does not fix it. Going to look at drivers next. I have been using the one from Windows Update.

    I added a 24" (1080p via DVI) monitor to my 22" (1680x1050 via DSUB) and set for expanding the desktop. When I scroll web pages (on either monitor), the text looks scrambled for about a second until it redraws. This forum site is a good example of the behavior. Unfortunately, I was unable to do...

    Speakers static pop when compressor turns on

    I've been quite happy with the diamonds - especially given the price. They didn't really come into their own until I upgraded my amp. Now I rarely bother with my subwoofer (Wharfedale PowerCube).

    Speakers static pop when compressor turns on

    Yes, I think it is coincidental - probably paying a bit more attention since I made the change. Haven't switched back to the old cables yet - I reused the banana plugs so would need to reterminate - but will do so.
