    Question How concerned should I be with CRC Error Counts with Samsung SSD?

    I have the Samsung EVO on SATA 2 with NCQ enabled. Really good scores for SATA 2. I can't tell a difference in loading speed of Windows with either SATA 2 or SATA 3. The non queued random read and write speed is nearly identical in either SATA 2 or SATA 3. Here the same drive with NCQ...

    Question How concerned should I be with CRC Error Counts with Samsung SSD?

    I bought two Samsung 870 EVO 250 GB SSD for two AMD computers. One motherboard is based on AMD SB850 chipset and the other AMD SB710 chipset. The Samsung EVOs are reporting SMART CRC Error Counts especially when running disc benchmarks. It is not a SATA cable issue as I have swapped it...

    Question Canon Rebel XSi dark band on top of image

    After disassembling and reassembling the camera ten times I figured out the shutter spring tension needed adjusting. Now I'm in the process of honing the exposures just right. When I over adjust the camera needs complete disassembly each time which is a pain, but I've gotten good at it by now.

    Question Canon Rebel XSi dark band on top of image

    I have a Canon Rebel XSi that produces images with a dark horizontal band across the top of the images. It only appears whenever the shutter speed is higher than 1/100s and gets darker the faster the speed. Could this be a shutter issue? The image example is f9, iso 100, 1/160s.

    Fujitsu AA batteries $9.31 at the Egg

    Newegg has these on sale. These are the same Sanyo Eneloop after FDK acquired it. I'd pick this before a Panasonic Eneloop.

    Kill-A-Watt power meter accuracy

    I have the P4460. I have a LED desklamp with clock. If clock is on by itself the meter won't read it. If I turn the light on as well then it will read both. Not accurate at low current draw.

    Should I use the registrars DNS server or my webhost's?

    Any special settings I need to configure to use Register.com DNS server? It's currently set as my default DNS server but it is not pointing to my website. If I change the DNS server to 0webhost.com servers then it does point to my website in a couple of days. I'm configuring all this on...

    Should I use the registrars DNS server or my webhost's?

    My website is hosted on 0webhost.com and I registered my domain name on Register.com and using their DNS servers. Can I use the DNS server provided by Register.com instead of 0webhost.com? Currently, my domain name will not go to my website. I thought after a few days all the DNS servers...

    Replacing Macbook Pro backlighting

    I noticed the left side of the screen of my 2007 Macbook Pro is dimmer than the right side. It's very evident with a plain white background with the brightness set very low. How common is it to replace the backlighting on a Macbook Pro?
