    New Koch ad

    Over the last couple days here in SLC I've seen a new ad from the Kock brothers and for the first 3/4 of it you kind of think they're some progressive outfit talking about the hard time the middle class is having and in contrast to how the wealthy are doing. But, towards then end they pull out...

    Server Execution Failed

    I've been getting this problem when I'm going through videos and it's starting to really bug me. The problem is this ... I'm reviewing video I've shot and edited and after closing one video if I don't wait a few seconds to launch another video I often get this error and I'm locked out of...

    Forced ads on AnandTech

    I've noticed over the last couple days that when I go to AnandTech it automatically pops up the LG ad and you can't prevent it. You can close it of course but it pops ups no mater. This is not acceptable! Brian

    Isle of Man TT is going on now

    Just a heads up to anyone that cares that the Isle of Man TT motorcycle race is going on and can be seen on Velocity at 9PM (MST). There has been several days of racing already but the main race, the Senior TT, is Jun 10th. Michael Dunlop set a new lap record a couple days ago averaging over...

    Nvidia Network Streamer Service

    OK, what is this and can I delete or kill it? I'm not a gamer and have no desire to stream games so why should I have something running, eating resources and CPU cycles, when I have no need or desire for it? Brian

    BenQ PV3200PT 32 inch 4K display 60fps

    I mentioned a while back that I was looking to upgrade the display on my new video editing PC and I finally received it today. The monitor is the BenQ PV3200PT 32 inch 4K display that does 4K at 60fps whereas my previous monitor was a Dell 24 inch 4K display that was limited to 30fps. I had...

    Drone videos of Nature

    Drone doesn't hit a plane

    Lots of stories of drones hitting planes and helicopters and very little evidence any of that is true. So, how about some video showing drones NOT hitting planes or helicopters... I did a 2040 mile 8 day roadtrips through southern Utah, northern Arizona and the SW corner of Colorado last...

    Cats can be trolls, huge trolls!

    I saw the gif of this quite a while ago and now that I see the full version it's apparent the cabinet cat is a premeditated mofo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvJ2BDkcLjE The gif only showed the actual attack but this video shows the lead up and cabinet cat was planning this for some...

    RAM not meeting advertised claims

    I built a new PC in late January for 4K video editing and chose components that would be high in performance and provide room for OCing. To that end I got an x99 board (ASUS x99 Pro / USB 3.1) for a 2011v3 socket CPU that could be overclocked and added an Intel i7-5820K CPU. I then spent some...

    Who says Russia only good for car crash videos

    I've been seeing suggested videos from this guy or team called "Coube Man" and it's an interesting collection of funny video clips with hot girls. He or they have an interesting style and look to be pretty skilled at editing etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHHiCZW3D9w Brian

    200,000 Democratic votes may have to be thrown out!

    So, in my state of Utah we had a caucus instead of a traditional primary for the first time and the early results seemed to indicate a big increase in voting. However, it now looks like there were more than 100,000 fewer votes cast this year than in 2008. But, the troubling statement I just...

    Blu-ray/DVD player for Win 10

    I'm looking for a low footprint player for DVD and blu-ray that will work with Win 10. I'd rather not go with a full blown suite of Norton Utilities like crap and am looking for something that does just play dvd and bluray and isn't constantly reporting home about what I'm doing. I don't...

    SSD Defrag Optimize

    Early on the advise was not to defrag SSD's owing to the wear issue with limited writes, but how does that stack up today? In Win 10 when I select the properties of a drive and go to 'tools' then click on 'optimize' it brings up a drive listing and clearly show the SSD as a SSD and HD's as HD's...

    Best options for backup

    There's two kinds of backup I'm looking at and I'd like some feedback on how best to go about it. The first kind of backup is an image of your HD/SSD at some point in time, likely pretty early, that can be loaded onto a new drive if the original fails. In my case, I had a 500GB HD on a laptop...

    Finally able to upgrade laptop to Win 10

    I have a half dozen PC's, mostly laptops, that still function and I'd been able to upgrade all but one of them to Win 10. The one holdout is a fairly high end Dell laptop of one year that came with Win 7 Pro but has been having problems with virus scanning and I wanted to go to Win 10 to clean...

    10 Cloverfield Lane

    So I saw the trailer a while back and was a bit puzzled by it and now some word is starting to spread about JJ Abram's new monster flick. I've always liked Goodman so there's that and I've liked Mary Elizabeth Winstead since she was in Die Hard IV. I guess a new director takes the helm and...

    Samsung 500GB T1 SSD -- DOA

    I just received the Samsung T1 external SSD that I'd planned to take with me on the road for image and video storage, but it's DOA. At first it wasn't recognized by Windows 10, but then it 'appeared' and I ran the setup. All seemed fine and I attempted to do some file copy to it to test it out...

    Weird power on thing

    Core scaling for video editing

    Higher end video editing of 4K and greater video puts a premium on the CPU performance and to a lesser extent, the GPU performance. For normal folk doing 4K or less editing a 6-core 5820K or 8-core 5960X are the way yo go but just how well does an increase in core count translate into better...

    Strange Windows Explorer Problem

    I just booted up my desktop running Win10 Home and doubled clicked on a folder on my desktop to look at one of the files within, but instead of opening the folder the desktop flashed blank for a split second and then ... nothing. The folder didn't open and nothing looks any different. So, I...

    Horrendous Mouse Lag

At times I don't notice much lag and at other times it's so bad the PC is unusable. Again, this is a new PC and the OS, Win10 Home, was installed clean from a...

    32 Inch 4K monitors

    There are a number of 32 inch 4K monitors out there and I'd appreciate any feedback on what's out there and what's possibly close to being out there. My particular interest isn't so much gaming as image and video editing with the Adobe CC suite of Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro and After...

    4K monitor more than 30 inches

    It will probably be a while before I upgrade my monitor but I'd like to start looking. At present I have a Dell 24 inch 4K monitor and while it's pretty decent not every program is optimized for 4K displays and things like text, menu's and icons tend to be too small and many programs have too...

    How often to clean PC

    About how often do you clean the PC's filters and how often do you go inside the PC to clean up what the filters missed? I haven't used a desktop in about a decade and so I'm not sure how often is typical. Also, when you do clean the inside how do you do it? Do you use a vacuum wand? Do...

    Odd Temperature Report on both WD Black HD's

    Amazon Prime 2-day shipping scam

    OK, I've been an Amazon Prime user for about a year and sometimes the free 2-day shipping actually works out to 2 days but a lot of time it's more like 3 days or more.
