In attempting to repair one of my Browning trail cameras both the positive and the negative leads that came off from the battery portion of the camera broke off from their soldered connection points on the camera's circuit board.

What (who makes) is the best electrically conductive (no, I did not say/mean NON-conductive) glue ? Thanks.

Dear Fallen: Your 3rd paragraph pretty well describes what motion code credit card is all about. Tiny display screen on the card, algorithm use to come up with matching CCV by the card and the bank/CC issuer. Exactly, as you say (since the thief would not likely know the changing pin). Some...

You are assuming that this computer was a new latest generation computer, it is NOT. Can't assuming that everyone can afford the hardware that you might be using. Also, I bet you will have a hard time convincing the person who was in charge of that medical facility that the cat was not the...

And then there is also the danger of the cat deciding to relieve itself on the keyboard and to use your wireless mouse and keyboard as something that they can see far they can knock across the room.

Articles like these and similar ones lead me to believe otherwise. https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/cat-causes-four-hour-server-outage-by-jumping-on-keyboard/ https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4088982?sortBy=best

Last week I had repaired/updated a computer for a friend. When I was demonstrating some of the new features, his cat decided that he wanted to join the training and jumps up on the keyboard and is doing his little dance on it, opening 100's if not 1,000's of instances of the update manager that...

Back to this topic: What I am discovering about this motion code technology is that apparently banks are resistant to adopting it. My question is why ? Is it just purely a matter of cost ? And if that is the case have they did any type of study to compare the cost of adapting this technology...

1) How much TIME (seconds or minutes) do you generally have to get the old CMOS battery out and replaced with a good new fresh battery without completely loosing the BIOS ? 2) When I made this change recently, the settings were still there after I installed the new battery however, the time...

Can someone point me to the correct location for downloading the latest and greatest version of killdisk for use in WIPING media drives that can be used to created a bootable DVD from a linux mint (version 21.2) OS computer ? Am currently using version 12 of Killdisk and want the most current...

If you have a desktop computer on which the memory specs. allow for use of 2 different speeds of RAM, (says 1600mz and 18??mz) is it wiser to stick with the originally installed 1600mz as opposed to moving up to the 18??mz ? Thanks.

No, actually for those that might want to do this, their accounts on the email server would be setup/flagged so that any emails qualifying as either carbon copies and/or blind carbon copies would be completely BLOCKED at the server from being delivered PERIOD to the holder of that email account...

Is it possible for individual email user accounts serviced by an email server to have some accounts setup/configured so that any emails which are sent to those individual's email addresses as either carbon copies or blind carbon copies to NOT flow thru that server to the addresses as designed by...

So, that being the case, my question is why would not all computer/electronic devices do this, I am one that does not necessarily (and especially in this case) hold to the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it), because if this firmware is not kept up-to-date it might be broke and you...

Are there any computer systems which have the ability to "automatically" detect that the firmware (BIOS) is out-of-date and give the user/owner a warning that the firmware needs to be updated, i.e. phone home ? Thanks.
