Thanks for the insights. Amazon's price went down again to $50, and Walmart's Black Friday ad (p. 20, Event 3) has it at $49 on-contract with $100 gift card.
The Moto X had a $100 price drop about two weeks ago. Old news, but I didn't find any posts about it. There has been some back-and-forth in The official Nexus 5 thread.
I'm considering getting it for $60 with AT&T contract at Amazon. Amazon also has the One Mini for $10 (AT&T).
In case anyone has their 2013 Nexus 7 stuck on the X screen (sometimes called a "soft brick"), the steps and button combos for doing a factory reset are the same as the 2012 version, such as lopri's post here. There is a minor difference in that "Boot Recovery" is now labeled "Recovery mode"...
I'm in a similar situation: qualified for an upgrade on AT&T. I'm leaning Android because I want to play with writing custom apps. The LG Optimus G Pro for $60 at Amazon looks like a great deal, but I'm pretty sure that I can't deal with a phablet. I carry my wallet in my front pocket squeezed...
It was discontinued, but I grabbed one on eBay. I added a cardboard shim to have the drive sit in the tray without screws. I occasionally use a cracked-open enclosure that's about as sketchy.
The iStarUSA T-7M1-SA is much nicer and has screw holes for 2.5" drives, but it starts around $35...
I tried to search for one out of curiosity, but I didn't know exactly what I was looking for.
I got a LP-2020A+. Newer stock comes with a Bukang adapter labeled as 3A, which is supposedly a big upgrade over the old, sketchy Vonage 2A one. The ProMedia satellites have weak lows without a sub...
I liked the first one better. The second one has better graphics and the Fusion (super attacks using two characters) mechanic, but it replaces the customizable costumes and individual items with team items.
I've been thinking of getting a bay for both of these purposes. Any recommendations? The SNT SNT-125B has great reviews and is cheap, but it went out of stock at Newegg and may have been discontinued.
I did a Corsair RMA last year. The online form was easy, and Corsair turned the RAM around in one business day. I sent in the full kit (2 sticks) and got a kit back. I think it makes sense from an inventory control standpoint: they can pull from normal stock instead of tracking single sticks.
I have the USB 3 version, and I like it. I can see the drive's SMART data in Crystal Disk Info. I've had some problems with copying large (10s of GB) disk image files, but they go through if I retry and leave the computer completely alone, including checking status.
I ended up throwing out the sub. I found some forum threads where the older subs died again quickly after repairs speculation was cheap components failing due to heat from a poor design.
I'm thinking about getting a Lepai LP-2020A+ amp to run the satellites (4-ohm, according to a search)...
I read a bit about DiscWizard and "Beyond 2TB". Google results mention older versions of DiscWizard and Dynamic Drive Overlay, and it seems like the latest one also includes DDO. Based on my experience with a Western Digital DDO and chkdsk eating my data, I recommend that you find another...
I have a Samsung HD501LJ data drive that started having similar symptoms. The first sign was Firefox crashing (cache on that HDD), and Windows seemed to hang on shut down. The RAID controller took an extra 0.51 second to recognize the drive. Windows seemed to stall on the start up screen, and I...
I had a similar incident nearly 10 years ago involving Windows 2000, the 127GB limit, and a drive overlay (never use one). When I shut down Windows, chkdsk started running with similar messages for each file. I turned the computer off after a few minutes, after it had overwritten the first 100MB...
I have a Honeywell 50250-S, currently at $130, its all-time low.
Anyone here own a decent air purifier? Looking for recommendations.
Need to get out dust from our living room.
I see "Restore to dissimilar hardware" in the feature comparison table, but I've done a few drive migrations (create image and restore to new drive, not clone) using the free version. This thread says that "dissimilar hardware" doesn't include drives.
My Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 subwoofer/amp died several months ago. I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to repair it on my own, and shipping it to someone doesn't seem cost-effective. I'm mainly wondering what I should do with the two satellites. I found this thread from 2009.
The set is 8-10 years...
Has anyone tried a junk mail unsubscription service? I read about Catalog Choice's MailStop last year. There were two ways to submit junk mail: 1) mail them in a special envelope ($8) or 2) photos via smartphone app.
Those numbers seem very high. USB 2.0's theoretical maximum is 480Mb/s. Does the Slim have USB 3.0 ports?
Beware of the really cheap, really slow drives. I almost bought a SanDisk Cruzer on Black Friday (I think it was 32GB for $10), but the reviews were universally awful.
The free version of Macrium Reflect can create a WinPE bootable ISO (it does the needful for USB drives and SD cards), but it requires the full install and a 1.7 GB WAIK download. A user on another forum generated and uploaded the ISO, but I don't trust random files on the Internet. I think the...
The specs are the same as the Aspire One AO756-2641, list $329.99 with Windows 8. The similar AO756-2899 (also $329.99 with Celeron 877 and W7HP) has had deals for around $250.
I wanted it for Dance Central, so I'm not sure if I should be happy about this. JD4 reviewed better than earlier games in its series, but the DC series has consistent solid reviews.
If you have enough SATA ports and power, it might be a little faster to connect your drives internally. (You mentioned hard drives, plural.)
Depending on how many files you're copying, you may want to use a dedicated program like robocopy, teracopy, or xxcopy. Old thread
Unless you're transporting it offsite (and once a month is not too often), a 3.5" should be fine. What do you mean by "always on"? A 3.5" external with separate power can be connected and disconnected. They're sometimes picky about the order (power then USB).
For example, the Seagate Expansion...
The major difference is that one is 2.5" (Portable) and the other is 3.5" (Desktop, has an AC adapter). This recent thread has some discussion on the differences between the form factors.
A USB 3.0 drive will be much faster than a 2.0 one. I was shopping for an external drive a few months ago, and there wasn't a huge price difference, if I remember correctly.
Since you will be moving the drive between sites (frequently?), a laptop drive will be more portable. I got a Western...
I have bought every game in the main AC series, but only after their prices drop to $30.
I thought 1 was okay, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I like to 100% games if I am able, but I haven't gone back for those stupid flags.
2 was great.
I liked Brotherhood the best so far, but it's...
I got fed up waiting for 50100 GBs to copy over USB 2.0 (with verification, well over an hour), so I bought a Rosewill RC-505 USB 3.0 PCI-E card and a Rosewill RX-358 U3C SLV USB3.0 enclosure. The enclosure goes on sale for $30 or 35, free shipping, every few months. The card is limited by...
Mine is set to "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" I haven't had any installed unexpectedly. If I remember correctly, I had a few unexpected forced restarts in XP when choosing install only.
Have you run a Memtest to eliminate the RAM fully? I think it's an unlikely cause, but the test is easy. I ran two passes of Memtest86+, and I had run it more thoroughly a few months ago after I had to RMA some new RAM.
3 boot tries is a common PSU failure mode? I didn't see that when...
Smith & Wollensky: I like the Cajun Ribeye, but my party was seated at a poor table three out of three times: deep in the back next to two other Asian parties, under a flower decoration that dropped pollen on my friend throughout the meal, and four people on a two-person table.
Ruth's Chris...
I've played a lot of Xbox 360 and PS3 on my Dell 2408FPW, as well as PS2 on my older Dell 2001FP. I sit pretty close to my TV when gaming, and the monitor is a step up from that. The only recent PC game I've played is SC2 with graphics set to Low.
Mine can output 1:1, stretch 16x9 vertically to...
