    Question Help looking for SFF PC for Google Earth projects?

    Yes, in the USA. And actually, I looked again and the current system does have discrete graphic, very low (even at the time), I'm sure, nVidia GeForce MX150. Here's something I'm looking at: ASUS PN53 ($800) -- AMD Ryzen 7 6800H with 16GB RAM (DDR5-4800), Radeon 680M and 512GB PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD...

    Question Help looking for SFF PC for Google Earth projects?

    We have a project that imports different images and overlays them onto the existing Google Earth map. Similar to what we're doing, would be taking photos from a drone or overhead camera and then replace the stock images in Google Earth for a specific area (which you can do be specifying a...

    Question Help looking for SFF PC for Google Earth projects?

    Thanks. We are using Google Earth version 7.3.6.xx and I do see the System Requirements (minimum and recommended). Unfortunately, we already exceed those requirements, so it doesn't really tell the story of which CPUs or GPUs are actually better for importing new layers and modifying projects...

    Question Help looking for SFF PC for Google Earth projects?

    Looking for a PC in the $500-800 range. Laptop would be great, but not necessary. If PC, should be relatively small form factor, but wouldn't need to be NUC-size small. Something ~2L volume should be considered the max I would say, but smaller would be welcome. I use to do my own builds 20+...

    Question Someone help me pick out an SOHO printer?

    I need a printer for home. I am working from home and we are schooling from home. Anyone have any suggestions? :) Max budget is $500, but lower the better. Will gladly pay closer to $500 if the "Strongly prefer" and "Nice to have" items are present. I can go either way on Laser or Inkjet...

    Question MS Windows Server 2019 licensing on a virtual machine

    Contacted Microsoft. Here was the answer: 8x 2-core packs or 1x 16-core pack for Host A (1-CPU server) 8x 2-core packs or 1x 16-core pack for Host B (1-CPU server) Because of the "Minimum License Requirement" (see link from quikah above), this applies to sinlge CPU Hosts that have anywhere...

    Amount/Speed of RAM for Laptop with i5-8250U

    I was looking, but could not find a review of the effect RAM on overall system performance. Both "how much" and the speed. Just bought a laptop with i5-8250U and installed Samsung 970 EVO NVMe 500 GB SSD (22GB SLC for caching). The laptop itself only has 4 GB of RAM (DDR4-2400), but I have an...

    Laptop i5 is only dual core!

    The new i5-8xxxU series are now 4/8 (cores/threads) i5-7xxxU and older were all 2/4 (cores/threads) There may be a couple exceptions in there (Intel occasionally throws in a wrinkle).

    DAS attached to Router or full on NAS?

    Thanks for the input guys. I'll get the NAS. Looking at the: ASUSTOR AS4002T and Synology DS218 in the ~$250 range right now. Anyone have thoughts on the software/user interface of either? Or other recommendations around that pricepoint? Leaning towards the ASUSTOR as it has features that I...

    DAS attached to Router or full on NAS?

    I am in need of replacing an old server (HP ProLiant N40 with dual 1TB drives in RAID 1) with something that's a bit simpler to manage, less footprint space, less power consumption and more storage. My needs are pretty simple. I want to centralize all our photos/videos/documents into a single...

    Dedicated mobile hotspot

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a dedicated mobile hotspot and no-contract service plan? Right now, I'm looking at AT&T Velocity 4G LTE for $60, then AT&T for 5GB/$50 or 2GB/$25 for a 30 day plan. Can I do better (less expensive)? I don't need a lot of speed (mostly accessing...

    Laptop no boot

    Thanks guys. I did end up replacing the motherboard and is everything is now working but the sound. Have to troubleshoot that now, not sure if its a problem with the refurb motherboard or I missed a connection when I put it back together.

    Laptop no boot

    Ya, that's been in my watchlist. Can I just replace this mobo/CPU, using the same hard drive as before, and expect everything to work fine? Or would I need to re-install Windows? It's a different CPU, old one had i7-4600U

    Laptop no boot

    Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know if the E7440 has a CPU that is "re-seat"able though? All the indications I'm seeing online, makes me believe the CPU is soldered on and can't be adjusted.

    Laptop no boot

    Right. So I did pull the (only) stick of RAM out of the system last time I was over and tried booting and there was no change in behavior. For some reason, I was expecting, even with bad RAM/dead RAM/no RAM I could at least see the screen start to light and the fan would run for more than a...

    Laptop no boot

    A family member has a Dell Latitude E7440 we bought used from Ebay about 6 months ago. It was fine until about a week ago, when it stopped booting up (battery or power supply plugged in). By not booting, I mean nothing: nothing at all on the screen, fan audible for a couple seconds, then dies...

    US - How do you plan on completing your income taxes this year?

    Express1040.com Been using it for 6-7 years now and have had a flawless experience every time (very simple: MFJ, standard deduction, single W-2, CTCs, couple 1099-INTs). Side question, I filed on 01/27, then just got another 1099-INT in the mail for $21 of additional income that didn't end up...

    Possibly getting a Verizon Samsung S7, keep on Android 6.0?

    Yep, still grandfathered unlimited. Tethering is only good for 10GB/month with the new "unlimited" plan. We use about 15-20GB/month.

    Possibly getting a Verizon Samsung S7, keep on Android 6.0?

    Would it make a difference if I buy an unlocked version? Would Verizon only enforce an update to a Verizon-branded Galaxy S7, and I could put off indefinitely an OTA update on a factory unlocked Galaxy S7? Or would they be handled the same way if they are both on the Verizon network?

    Possibly getting a Verizon Samsung S7, keep on Android 6.0?

    We have an LG G2 that just broke (cracked screen, half of the touchscreen does not work). I don't need the latest/greatest by any means (as old as it was, the G2 was fine), I just need something that's smallish sized, runs on Verizon and looking to keep it on Android 6 or older so we can keep...

    Verizon unlimited data is back

    Standard sales tax I understand. All the random regulatory charges, service fees, surcharges that make it impossible to go to their website and figure out how much an "$80 plan" actually costs is what's confusing for Verizon. I've got another line that's on ATT GoPhone that's $25/month + sales...

    Verizon unlimited data is back

    Is this a trap? I've still got a grandfathered unlimited plan (we heavily use the PDANet / FoxFi for wifi teather, and use about 20-35 GB per month). Also, what does the $80/ month actually include for a single line? Is that all-inclusive, or is that just a portion of the bill, and there are...

    Under Trump's tax plan, my taxes will [edit] decrease

    Are you taking into account the loss of the personal exemption? What bugs me, large families (3+ kids) are going to get hit with the loss of the personal exemption. The more kids you have, the worse it gets. I have close ties to a handful of families with 7 or more kids each. It's going to...

    Upgraded from a 6 year old PC, a short comparison review

    It certainly feels a lot faster. For example, installing the OS/applications was way faster than I even imagined. Applications are fully installing in the amount of time they used to take to launch! This is nice, but of course how much time do you spend installing applications after you first...

    Upgraded from a 6 year old PC, a short comparison review

    Upgraded from a 6 year old PC, a short comparison review

    Hey guys, I upgraded to a new PC over the summer and thought it might be interesting to do a mini-comparison of switching over from the old to the new system to see how far we've over the past 6 years. Hope some people find this somewhat interesting; it was bit of a fun exercise for myself...

    Attempt at "cheapest viable Facebook / browser build".

    My friend has a Kangaroo PC with the Atom x5-Z8500 (1.44GHz, turbo up to 2.24GHz). With the turbo I'm not sure how far behind these are compared to 2.8GHz Llano with 1MB L2 in single-threaded, and the Cherry Trail should win handily in multi-threaded applications. At any rate, with my friends...

    Attempt at "cheapest viable Facebook / browser build".

    Nehalem i7 920 to Kaby Lake... upgrade or wait?

    You must have been even more disappointed in 2008? 2000 PIII --> 2008 Nahelem wasn't nearly as big as going from the 1992 66MHz 80486 --> 2000 1.5GHz PIII. And nothing in 1984 was even able to run a GUI. In other words, it's all part of the logarithmic technology curve. Returns are almost...

    CPU comparison

    Since no one has mentioned it, an i7-4720HQ, may be thermal throttling in a laptop, depending on the chassis and cooling design. While theoretically your laptop CPU may be more powerful than the latest i3 Skylake design, it might not turn out that way in real life, particularly in sustained...

    Upgrading Win 7 Pro to Win 8.1 Pro w/Media Pack (WMC)

    Can I upgrade Win 7 to 8.1 now, or do I have to do a clean install of 8.1? Also, I can still go back to Win 7 if it doesn't work out for some reason, right?

    Upgrading Win 7 Pro to Win 8.1 Pro w/Media Pack (WMC)

    I guess it's not clear whether the upgrade license was retail or OEM. My original WinXP license was OEM but it doesn't seem that the Win8 upgrade license had a designation either way.
