    Short USB-C Charge Cables Everywhere

    Where oh where are the longer USB-C <--> USB-C cables? The only option from pretty much everyone I see is 1 meter or 2 meters. At this point I'm contemplating buying one of the extension portions for the charger itself that are shipped with the non-Macbook chargers. Has anyone seen a longer...

    Lightbox ad without manual trigger (not in forum, on main site)

    Wasn't sure where to report this for them or if it is expected, but I don't tend to expect obtrusive advertising like that on AT so I grabbed some screenshots. http://cl.ly/image/1J2q3o1X0T3T http://cl.ly/image/1f1i3a0o3L3A

    Seriously, where are the Skylake T CPUs?

    I know Intel's launch has been laughably bad in the US, but I thought the prevailing opinion was that we'd see a decent availability release come the end of September and yet now we're in October and... still no T parts. Holding up a build D:

    *170 boards with 4K@60Hz HDMI for Mini-ITX

    Is this the only one out there so far? http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z170%20Gaming-ITXac/?cat=Specifications I don't see anything in the H or B lines with dual HDMI and the HDMI they do have is all 1.4. I don't even see other Z boards with it. Asking because I'm doing this for a...

    What to do with "old" hard drives

    I'm sitting here staring at a stack of four Seagate 400GB (7200.10) hard drives that just... I have no use for right now, but given that 1.5TB drives are down to $70 now, these feel pretty low in value but also are entirely not useless to...someone. But with the cost to ship them it's getting...

    PowerColor AX7750 (1GB Radeon HD 7750) - $89.99 w/ Free Shipping

    I've been keeping an eye on 7750 pricing to put in a HTPC and this is the lowest I've seen on something that isn't open box or riddled with rebates (and most of the ones with rebates are still more expensive or have shipping costs). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131461

    New rMBP issue, SSD is not freeing space

    So I moved a number of DVD-5 ISOs onto the drive (256GB). It had about 133GB free at the time according to the OS and I moved enough onto the drive for it to drop to about 90GB. I've since deleted all but one of those ISOs and the drive reports only 97GB free. When I tell the trash to empty one...

    Safari 6 "stalls"

    Wondering if anyone else has run into this problem. I use multiple Macs between home and work and have not found this issue to be consistent between them. On my rMBP, Safari 6 doesn't exhibit the issue. I don't use my GMA 950 Mac Mini enough with Lion + Safari 6 to see it, but my Mid 2011...

    Power Nap

    I remember seeing the screenshots showing a 'use power nap on battery' checkbox or something to that effect. I now have Mountain Lion on my rMBP (did a wipe and reinstall) and don't see that option. Did that change from one of the dev previews? When I search "Power Nap" in System Preferences...

    AT&T and "retail price" upgrades

    So I'm not eligible for an early upgrade with AT&T (whatever, I sold my iPhone 4 last month for over $400, so I'm not complaining - using a Nexus S in the interim). The alignment of celestial bodies, my low monthly bill, and my purchase of an iPhone 4 on contract have conspired against me. If I...

    Comcast passing a copy protected flag on -only- Comedy Central HD...

    Just curious if anyone knows if this is a nationwide Comedy Central thing or it's Boston's region of Comcast being incompetent. Media Center reports that only recordings from CCHD are copy protected (cablecards) and nothing else.

    Dell 2407 Discoloration

    Couldn't decided between this and Video Cards and Graphics, but it seemed the appropriate place. I've used this monitor for quite some time and have noticed some discoloration at this point in its life. Just curious if this is expected aging (which I presume it is) or if there is something I...

    Trying to find a website...

    The thing had a ton of graphics that autoscrolled down the page to give you the illusion you were ascending through the sky up to heaven. Tons of bad art/clip art/tacky animated gifs, and it scrolled for thousands of pixels. I think I saw it within the last month and I cannot for the life of me...

    What applications would you find useful on the iPad

    Let's suspend reality for a moment, and assume you bought an iPad. Ignoring the limitations of the platform, ie: backgrounding for this example, what tasks would you like to do in the large screen real estate afforded to you that are not going to be supplied by Apple? More distilled: Which...

    "Real D" on a Home Projector?

    I realized this evening that the effect doesn't work at all when they bring up the lights in the theater, but if you had a projector sending out the same double image that occurs at the theaters and the glasses, would it work in a home environment?

    Obscure Problem with Downloads Folder

    Airport Express (802.11n) Issues

I then have an ethernet cable plugged into the Airport Express and have the express set in bridge mode (so it just acts as a wireless access point) and...

    A Special Kind of Question

    So I'm data paranoid. I am going to have a supply of spare cash and would like to setup a file server for HDDVD converted movies. This is the kind of data I never wish to lose as it takes 12-24 hours to reconvert just one movie. Thus, I find single parity solutions to be insufficient for my...
