  1. Open the drive, then go to Users -> your user name -> Desktop Or at least that's the way to do it in Win7. Shouldn't be that much different for Win10 though.
  2. People shouldn't be uploading footage of their children to begin with. Not only because of this kind of stuff (which anyone with half a brain saw coming a mile away), also out of respect for the children's privacy. At some point in the future those children will find those videos embarrassing. Hopefully their classmates won't find those vids later on either. Nothing more fun for a teenager than being bullied because his/her parents found it necessary to upload that cute video of him/her dancing to Britney Spears' music at 18 months with his/her diaper falling off, right? It's funny, but I seem to recall that there was a thread on the 18+ part of this subject already. Even looked for the "P" word to find it, but it's either gone or I'm imagining things. Hopefully that search didn't trip any filters. No black helicopters or SWAT teams in sight yet, hopefully it stays that way. As for Youtube being destroyed ... well ... let it burn. It'd be good for competition.
  3. I've had my Eastpak backpack for almost 10 years now, but last month I noticed that there are wear holes in the bottom corners. Time for a new backpack. I decided to give the eBags TLS Professional Slim a try. Loving it, but it's not perfect. The metal zipper pulls are clanking like crazy, so I'll probably modify those soon to quiet them down. I also heard about people accidentally dropping this bag because the plastic clips at the bottom of the shoulder straps can let go, so I'm looking into replacing those with carabiners ASAP. ----- Also 3x 128GB Samsung Duo Plus USB3.1 sticks. And a 256GB one.
  4. I honestly wouldn't be too worried about Intel's socket changes interfering with your ability to upgrade. After all you've been happily using the same CPU for 8 years now. Whatever brand you buy now, by the next time you'll feel the need to upgrade they will have switched to another socket.
  5. It's a good price indeed, but at the end of the day it's just a SATA m.2 drive, not an NVMe. 480/400 speeds are actually lower than the 550/500 you'll get from most 2.5" SSDs.
  6. Ultramon allows you to add a "move window" and a "maximize to desktop" (basically expand to cover both displays) button. Not sure how the taskbar situation is on Win10, but on Win7 it also allows you to put a taskbar in the second display and automatically displays open windows etc in the correct taskbar (so not all of them are on the main display). Unfortunately it's not free. I bought it shortly after Win7 came out and sure as hell got my money's worth.
  7. I use MakeMKV to rip my blu-rays and DVDs to .mkv files. Works like a charm. It's a 30 day trial, but the actual program is still in beta and as long as it stays that way the devs publicly post a new activation key every 2 months. So you can use it indefinitely (or at least until they release the full version, but I haven't seen that happen yet and I've been using MakeMKV for 5 years or so) You can of course buy it already to support the devs. I store all my rips in full quality, but then again I have a rather large NAS. If disk space is an issue, you may want to use Handbrake to reduce the resolution/quality/bitrate/whatever in order to shrink the file size.
  8. Not worried. My passwords are made using 4 numbers, not 8 characters. So it looks like I'm safe from this. ? Mandatory viewing :
  9. Option 1 : Bitlocker You'll need Windows 7 enterprise/ultimate, 8.1 Pro or 10 Pro (or LTSB/LTSC if you can get those) to encrypt the drives. It normally comes with those versions of Windows. Any modern version of Windows will be able to decrypt the drives, add files to them etc. So you can attach the drives to any other PC and use them (as long as you enter the password when mounting them, of course) Option 2 : Veracrypt Works on Windows, Linux and MacOs as well. Requires installation of the (free and open-source) Veracrypt software on any machine you wish to use the drive on. Slightly more difficult to use than Bitlocker, but has a lot more options (hidden containers etc).
  10. Easy to solve, Linus. Do a copyright strike whenever those Tech Quickie guys steal your content. 3 strikes and you don't have to worry about them anymore. ?
  11. Tech news in a year or two : "Facebook admits that US government gained full access to all users' data as part of 2019 deal"
  12. On my S7 I did just that indeed. The only reason I do it this way is because the S7 is not the easiest to work on and I plan to sell it later. My other phone and my tablet don't require a heatgun etc to open them up, so on those two I removed the front facing camera altogether.
  13. Your own fault for choosing your own news sources instead of getting your news from the government's propaganda network.
  14. Doesn't matter how good it is, I put tape over it anyway. Based on what I've seen so far, I'll probably be upgrading to an S9 or S9+ instead of an S10. Just gonna wait for the prices to drop as a result of the S10 release.
  15. I agree if it only happens once in a blue moon. However if you get regular interruptions a UPS is very much worth its money, even if you only get like 5 minutes. If the power drops out while you are writing to disk, the file you were writing will be corrupted. If it happens while your PC is doing updates, you may end up having to reinstall the entire OS.
  16. 7, 8 and 9 eh? Good thing my phones are still on 2.3 and 4.4 ? just kidding The sad part is that it'll take a long time before most flagship devices will get updated. Lower-end models may get no patches at all indeed. Now's a good time to check if your Android device can run Lineage OS.
  17. If you flash it to "IT mode", the card will not do any RAID stuff itself. It will be a HBA (Host Bus Adapter) and show all individual drives to the OS so the OS can handle that.
  18. I use an LSI 9211-8i card in my NAS. That one has 2 SAS slots, which in combination with a pair of SAS -> 4x SATA cables allows me to connect 8 drives. IIRC you can use further splitters to connect up to 128 drives to a single SAS port. So that single card can handle up to 256 HDDs. I reckon that should suffice for most people. Before buying one, keep in mind that they can be flashed as a RAID card or as an HBA. Which one you should do, will depend on the OS you'll be running on that machine. FreeNAS for example works best if it can do its own software raid on the drives, so that one should be an HBA. Windows on the other hand will work best if the card does all the RAID stuff on its own.
  19. NAS drives function just like any other HDD, so as long as they have power and a SATA connection they should work. Even if the drives are damaged during shipping, they should still show up in the BIOS. To me it sounds like they're just not getting power, but your tests so far seem to contradict that. Try connecting the drives (one by one) to another PC and see if they show up there in disk managment (they may be unformatted, so don't expect them to show up in Windows). Also try connecting a known good HDD (preferably a small old one that you don't mind losing) to the NAS' motherboard and see if that one shows up in the BIOS. Then try it again in another PC to see if the PSU destroyed the drives.
  20. That sounds like an okay setup fan-wise. A bit overkill perhaps, but I've done way worse myself. Don't do the duct though. @aisle9 is completely right in that it will make matters worse. IF you insist on using a duct, make it an intake duct.
  21. Had some trouble with YT links. Sorted it for the covers, not going to redo the originals. Original by Leonard Cohen Original by Metallica Original by Leadbelly Original by Peter Schilling Original by Foo Fighters Original by Soundgarden Original by Gloria Gaynor Original by DJ DMD ft. Lil' Keke & Fat Pat Original by Katy Perry
  22. Yes, regular SSDs and 2.5" HDDs have the exact same dimensions and mounting holes. They'll fit just fine.
