  1. The first one, the track pad stopped working. Second one, the mouse keys stopped working. Third one, the power switch stopped sliding. This fourth one, the keyboard keys don't work (except P. That seems to work...). The escape key thinks it's the windows key.
  2. I am in need of a new media center keyboard. I'm currently using the Logitech k400, and generally speaking I love it. What I don't love, is that I'm on my fourth k400 in two years, and it's broken already. Tired of giving logitech money for the same product again and again. What I need: wireless keyboard and mouse combo. Preferably under $50. Any suggestions?
  3. Im trying to send a notification to my Google Home Mini, whenever my LG ThinQ Washer or Dryer finishes a cycle. Right now, they can send a notification to my phone, but nowhere else. If I ask Google or Alexa, they will tell me how much time is left. There is an IFTTT setup for doing just this, but it doesnt work. LG themselves has confirmed it will not work. My idea is to set up something to either intercept the notification, or silently continually ask Google or Alexa for an update, and alert me when it hits zero time remaining. Does anyone know if this is possible?
  4. Hey guys and gals, I come to you with a request. I have been tasked with upgrading my church's streaming setup. We are significantly on a budget. Here's what we are doing right now: We have a 2015 MacBook Pro which our pastor provided. We are using the pastor's iPhone 11 as a camera, using the OBS Camera software to connect it to OBS on the Mac. It's connected over USB. We're hitting an average of 16 fps. From what I can tell, this is a limitation of the OBS Camera software (it also throws some screwball resolutions at random). We have cameras we can use, so for the time being, that's not an issue (later down the road when we can afford to upgrade them, we will). What we need is a video capture device, that can connect preferably over USB (so we can upgrade the computer when budget allows) We're looking for cheap but reliable. We don't need anything extravagant. Hell, we would be happy even getting 30fps and 720p. What do you guys suggest?
  5. Question: I've always heard "RAID ISNT A BACKUP!" So, how do you backup a beast like this?
  6. https://www.thechronicleherald.ca/business/local-business/198-employees-told-webcom-is-closing-down-its-yarmouth-location-after-18-years-in-community-384321/ Web.com group, Inc, of Jacksonville FL, is closing it's office in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. They are sending those jobs to the Philippines, as well as the jobs of nearly 90 people in Hazleton, PA. This takes a large amount of the support staff, and gives it to overseas agents.
  7. I’m planning on building a/multiple server(s), depending on what you guys say here. heres what I want to do: first, I want to host a website. WordPress site, nothing too big, and really not much traffic. Just a family blog. second, I want to host my own email server. Not really certain as to what platform yet. Not much email traffic again. It’s going to share the same domain as the website, third, I want to run a media server. Software will be Plex. It’s only going to be internal facing. can I run these all on the same physical server, or do I need to have separate systems. What minimum specs should I have? (I plan on going over the minimum, but don’t want to go outrageous if I don’t need to) and what OS should I use? I was thinking Windows Server, just because that’s what I know. I’ve just never worked on something this complex before. thnak you
