Looks like new model came out, with tons of new power. Pretty amazing! https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/

So I had this idea when I was leaving my house this morning on my way to work. We all love modern technology. We have smart doorbells, smart thermostats, etc. Why not a smart mailbox? It would be pretty easy. Have about an inch of space in the back to hold the electronics. When it gets opened it...

So let me get this straight, you are running for president after your whole Native American DNA blunder, now you are going after large companies like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook and are wanting to break them up? Do you not understand that most of these companies have ties to other...

I'm thinking about a new mouse for my home PC, and was wondering what everyone uses? I currently use a Logitech G502, but was thinking about a new Coarsair mouse. Looking at the M65 RGB Elite, or the Ironclaw. Here is my current: The two I am considering:

2018 Hard Drive Failure Rates: What 100,000+ Hard Drives Tell Us At the end of 2018 Backblaze was monitoring 104,954 hard drives used to store data. For our evaluation we remove from consideration those drives that were used for testing purposes and those drive models for which we did not have...

I ran across this little device awhile ago. It is almost like a Pi-hole in some ways, but also does so much more. Just plug it into your network and then you have full control. Also no monthly fees. They do have a new 'blue' version due out in February. https://firewalla.com/

Pretty scary. Source

*Started a new thread and separated posts from: Alexa do you work for the CIA? Anyone use one of these still? I see Amazon had a bunh on sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. @ndboarder do you still like yours?

Kinda neat, nothing to install. Imports most formats. https://www.photopea.com/

I know about Office 365 and it's monthly or yearly payments and such. Does anyone use Outlook with this Hotmail account? I'm pretty sure it uses both POP and IMAP. I use Outlook at work and enjoy it and was thinking about using it at home as well. Any experience with it? @ndboarder ?

I thought I would post this little helpful link. If your like me and deal with .PDFs this site is a great tool to use without have to pay for the full version of Adobe Acrobat. Everything works great. Just thought I would though it out there. https://smallpdf.com/

You know your old when you see so many changes to technology over the year and what it has done for business. I have been out of the tech field for awhile and I went and looked at jobs yesterday online and a larger city that is near me. What I found was interesting. There is no longer need for...

So I got a new pair of prescription sunglasses this year and when I was getting everything for it I decided to get their new Prizm technology added to it. The first time I put them on outside it was like seeing a 4k HDR T.V. for the first time. It does something to the colors and makes...

Ran across this program after people were talking about Acronis 2018. It basically looks like it does the same thing as Acronis does, but is free. Source

Looks like a new model is out. Sells for the same price as the old. New features include: A 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU Dual-band 802.11ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2 Faster Ethernet (Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0) Power-over-Ethernet support (with separate PoE HAT) Improved...

I couldn't agree more with this video. I watched it all the way through. I have been dealing with this personal with my Mom lately and my work printers as well. One of the biggest scams of the 21st century.

So lets talk about VPNs. There are a lot to choose from. I currently have my own, so when I am out traveling with my phone I can surf using my own network at home. Just makes me feel safe (which I am) when using public wi-fi. But there are quite a few that you can pay for online that do the...

Interesting indeed:
