Stupid pCloud error
If I’m not going to be using the Internet for a while, which is not uncommon, I like to disconnect from it. Many years ago, when I had a TRS-80 there wasn’t even a Internet. I still found plenty to do. Well pCloud likes to pop-up a message telling me that there is an “An …

Basic electrical work
My 1st exposure to multmeters was with a Triplitt analog meter my dad had, probably from the 1960s. It was simple and I trusted it. It looked very much like this one I found at HomeDepot. I’m no great electronics expert. And I by far mostly use the meter to see if a electrical connection …
GeForce GTX 1660 Super
I waited on the new MSI card and now it’s $100 more. Not a chance I pay 50% more. MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 Super 192-bit HDMI/DP 6GB GDRR6 HDCP Support DirectX 12 Dual Fan VR Ready OC Graphics Card (GTX 1660 Super VENTUS XS OC) GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB Graphics Cards, GDRR6 192Bit …

The graphic card lingo is always so confusing. I’m not a hardcore gamer. And looking for advise invites BS …

But the order page said “Only 2 left in stock… order soon”. Which probably means returned and repackaged, or the worst looking box from that group. My last 3-4 orders had some …
Amazon member since?
I was just curious. Seems like it would be easy to find. Finally asked to chat with someone. They told me I’ve been a member since 2014. I told them that was incorrect. I said you’re at least 15 years off. They proceeded to ask me for the order-id. Which I gave them. They then …
Dave did a very interesting video about running Deepseek locally
OpenDNS
I watched a Network Chuck video about OpenDNS. And I want to use it, to block certain websites, but apparently I can’t change the DNS settings on my Uverse Arris Router. I google it and various instructions tell you to go to menu items that don’t exist. And there are also articles that say you …
