    Dropbox Pricing?

    I guess what shocked me was that they really have not evolved there product over the years. I remember using Dropbox back in the day as they were one of the first to provide cloud support to Linux. I think this would have been 2009 or 2010 and I believe I was paying $9.99/mo for 1TB back then...

    Is this a virus attack?

    The hardware could be fine but possibly the driver corrupted. Did you install any Windows Updates recently? Next time that happens open device manager and look under the network adapter to see if your card is still listed and if it is showing any problems.

    New SSD Drive Soon.

    I love how you have a simple disk question and everyone is trying to redirect you on the brand :). You shouldn't have to disconnect any drives when cloning as long as you have enough ports available in your tower case on the mobo. I don't know which cloning software your using but I have used...

    Dropbox Pricing?

    Is it just me or does Dropbox pricing seem extreme for 2018 (almost 2019)? $9.99/mo for plus (1tb and limited features) and $19.99/mo for Professional (2TB and full features). When comparing to Office 365 or Google One this pricing model seems insane or, am I missing the bigger picture here on...

    Hacking an offline laptop

    I don't think you got much response on this as John answered this pretty well last time. About the only other thing from a security stance with a computer is to control the access to the computer. If you have it disconnected from the internet that is great but, if it is sitting out unsupervised...

    Google products in schools?

    All interesting points. I don't mind Chromebooks but I guess I am thinking of how do you get young people excited about technology with such stripped down systems but, I see your guys points.

    Google products in schools?

    So the other day my nine year old comes home from school and I ask him what he learned in school today. He says to me "Let me show you dad" and he proceeds to boot up his computer and log into his school Gsuite account. He begins to show me some of his work to include the stuff he learns in...

    Problem with public WiFi

    +1 to John... My sons laptop was having this problem and even with a wireless driver update it was a no go. I bought him a cheap TP Link USB wireless card and dear god it makes all the difference.

    Microsoft making Chromium based browser

    Exactly my point on google being the M$ of the last decade.... I agree with you and personally one thing I will give Edge is the web developer tools is far superior to Chrome and FF, in my opinion anyway. I loved Chrome and especially the new look they went with recently. The only reason I...

    View Remote Image almost added to extensions without permition

    I doubt this to be a glitch as I have never seen that. It is possible for a website to try and side load an extension and I would assume this to have been some kind of hack attempt. I am glad to see you caught this and made an educated decision on this.

    Microsoft making Chromium based browser

    https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/4/18125238/microsoft-chrome-browser-windows-10-edge-chromium So I got to say I am kind of and kind of not surprised. I am surprised for the fact that I thought if Microsoft was going to build a browser on an open source technology they would have not picked...

    What Is The Best Firefox Clone??

    +1 to Firefox To be honest web browsers are like cars. There are some things car enthusiast will agree upon but overall it is just a matter of opinion. It also depends on what you do on the web all day. Example being here in Colorado a few years ago if you did a lot on state websites you would...

    administrator

    Okay but, when you "run as Administrator" with notepad what happens? Does it prompt you with UAC for a "yes" or "no"? Does it require a username and password? The other thing you can do is open control panel and go into User Accounts and select "Manage another user" or something like that and...

    Vigo Video

    So I looked it up and yeah is a bit different. Doesn't appear they even have a website. I would suggest that the only way to do this on PC if you are really dedicated would be to virtualize Android someway.

    How much should IT support cost me for my business?

    3 people for 140 employees? Damn.... I don't know how you do it. I work about 60 hours a week now and I don't think i have anyone on the team who work less then 45 hours a week. My data guys stay pretty busy thanks to all the state reporting requirements due to our contracts. From the support...

    How much should IT support cost me for my business?

    So I use to do freelance IT some time ago. For general support on weekdays I charged $75/hr and if you scheduled the time for me to come out you wouldn't have additional charges but if you needed same day I did charge $50 up front. If I had to provide support on weekends you always had the $50...
