    Unable to access storage Nexus 7

    In Android 6.0 Marshmallow you have to manually enable USB transfers from the tablet: swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the USB connection notification. I don't remember the exact wording but it should be self-explanatory from that point. I have no idea why Google made this change...

    Network card is very slow

    Something similar happened to me and it was indeed the PCI bus that was the culprit (I tried multiple PCI gigabit cards). When I switched to a PCI-Express card, transfer speeds returned to normal. Perhaps you might want to try the same thing.

    Does anyone else associate a food with a game?

    I can't play Catherine unless I have a bottle of Maker's Mark and a glass next to me.

    Good scotch as a gift?

    I second the Johnny Walker Green Label. If your colleague is a regular Scotch drinker, then he's probably had Macallan 12 a lot. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to receive a bottle of Macallan 12, but on my last day of work a colleague got me a JWGL and I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't even...

    Recommend me some good instant coffee.

    I recently tried UCC 117, my first foray into instant coffee, and now I'm hooked. So convenient. If you're in the Bay Area you can for sure get it from Japanese supermarkets like Nijiya and Mitsuwa, not sure if Ranch 99 or other Asian markets carry it. http://www.ucc.co.jp/114_117/

    PSP1000, PSP2000, PSP3000 or a Go?

    Though I have a PSPgo and games like FFIV play great on it, the go is just not suited for fast-paced games like Street Fighter or Pinball Arcade. I would take a look at what games I play the most before making a decision. Or, maybe get both! I still have my 1000 for when I do want to play...

    Want a good laugh? PC Gamers Top 100 of all time list

    I still play Wing Commander every few years, as well as 4D Sports Boxing. Also surprised that there's no MechWarrior entry in the list.

    Case of gaming frustration

    For me, I feel guilty if I spend more than half an hour playing a game when I know I have other responsibilities to tend to. I miss the days when I could simply play games for hours and enjoy them without thinking about it. Now, I have things like work, self-improvement, cooking, cleaning, etc...

    Everyone should play Catherine (PS3/360)

    Crap, there are 8 endings? I only just got the "cheater" ending a few days ago. Haven't succumbed to looking up solutions on YouTube yet, but I play on normal, plus I have the issue they're talking about in the other thread, where I don't play games for months on end and then play like crazy for...

    "network" Printer using a Serial / Parallel interface

    You can also use one of these cards: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-E...llel+port+card This worked for me when I needed to share an old printer on a modern Win7 machine.

    New Build not Booting

    Is the PCI-E power from the PSU connected to the GPU?

    Post your data backup strategy

    I make sure I have at least 2 copies of data that I care about on separate hard drives, and separate geographical locations if possible. Right now I have my data in 3 places, but 2 of them are thousands of miles away so the longer I'm away the more out of sync the data will be. In my immediate...

    How to remotely administer PCs?

    If you can get it to work, Remote Assistance actually worked quite well for me on Windows 7. We even used it to train a remote user during a seminar.
