On a side note, I've had a failed hard drive sitting in my inventory for a month or so. Didn't have time to mess with it much since I had other orders to fill from other clients. Finally got around to looking into warranty/RMA status. And get this, the 5-year warranty expires TODAY! How's that for good timing on my part. Had I let this go until tomorrow, I would not have been a happy camper once I saw the expiration date. LOL

 
I guess when I first read this I didn't necessarily think the question was directed at me.


hmmm, crazy I thought I was in the "what does the fox say?" thread...
Indeed. I imagined some sort of sassy response from you. ;)

I don't suppose MS would have any sort tutorial for that app you are using, do they? Something that might be helpful in answering your question? I'm guessing no, but worth a shot I suppose. Ha ha.


naw and the only crap about it in their Q+A forums stuff is people complaining when the photos don't sync... it really is an awesome app though

Try posting your question there and see if anyone responds. Can't hurt. What do you all like about it?

I was able to sync my Windows calendar with my Google calendar over the weekend. Cool to see my upcoming events and such on my Start screen. The Weather app is also pretty spectacular IMO. Pretty much everything you care to see in addition to radar and historical data too. I like that the background pic changes with how the weather is for that given time period.

 
Anybody using Google's Nest products in their home? We considering it, however, we are concerned about the security of sharing info with Google...

I have heard that Apple's product Home Kit might add a layer of security by running through an AppleTV-like PC, but that's still very far away...

 
and yeah- I'll see your sarcasm and raise you some sass ;)

Easy there, we don't want KF to kick us off the gravy train of free consultations.

 
OK, throwing in the white towel.

IT has restricted our ability to connect to their exchange server from a laptop or computer that is not company-issued. I do have the ability to use OWA from anywhere, though. However, I hate having to log in and use a browser-based email on my home computer. Is there any way I can circumvent this by accessing an OWA account using Outlook software?

 
Five Computer Security Myths, Debunked by Experts

http://lifehacker.com/five-computer-security-myths-debunked-by-experts-1602290081

We're no strangers to helping you secure your computer, but there are some computer security myths and stories that keep getting passed around, even though they're clearly not true. We sat down with a few computer security experts to separate fact from fiction.
A few weeks ago, Wired shared their five biggest cybersecurity myths and the truth behind them. Their list is good, but we thought there had to be some computer security stories that everyday users still believe, even though they've either been long debunked, or because they keep getting spread around.

We sat down with computer security and forensics experts Frederick Lane and Peter Theobald to get to the truth behind some security myths we've all heard on a regular basis.

"Myth #5: I Don't Need Anti-Malware Tools, I Don't Do Anything Risky". I tried using this argument with my gyno to get out of having to do pap smears every two years, but she didn't buy it either.

Seriously though, that was a good article. Stuff I need to think about because I've believed every one of those myths.

^ negative. That user and their aliases have been silenced due to the efforts of a few of us senior members. The hammer has spoken. LOL

You talking about OZ? I hope you didn't ban him, no wonder things are so dead around here these days. No more trolls for entertainment.

no, there was user name Loser that was claiming that he couldn't be tracked because he used TOR. He was wrong.

 
OZ is still around, he posted something a few days ago about NSA holographic conspiracies or some crap like that.

Ah, got it. What a loser.

 
Fox,

What do you recommend for a firewire to usb adapter that is reliable and Linux friendly?
