Because Donald Trump supporters are so vile, ugly, nasty, anti-semitic and threatening, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU NEVER USE YOUR REAL NAME, NOR ANY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION NOR ANY VALID EMAIL ADDRESS. If you have any such data in your account now, delete...

Well, you can post it yourself in any forum you want. I'd suggest posting it in Computer Stuff, but it's up to you. If you're selling something, put it in the Selling Forum. I don't change others's posts, that's up to you to do. I don't censor,...

Why FrankForum
in Admin Stuff
Godaddy provides a phpBB forum as part of its services in hosting my domain. So I don't consider this forum 'mine', but rather it provides an opportunity to have AD FREE and TOTALLY ANONYMOUS discussion for folks. So, on August 10 2015, I started...

KEEP IT BACKED UP !
KEEP IT BACKED UP !
Lost count of the number of times I have advised customers to Back up their Important Data. Storing a record of your life on a mechanical Hard Drive is a risky business indeed.

External Floppy Drive lifesaver
First post
External floppies are required by XP for setting up networks, for rescue, sometimes for other ad hoc things. Oddly enough, they are also sometimes required by major Linux distros I've encountered like OpenSuse, Gentoo, CentOS (maybe older versions,...
Last post
Yep, it still exists. Spent the last two weeks burning Linux isos to DVDs. Better than using usb, actually, when installing a new distro. Linux recognizes it better. When I did usb install, the usb stick didn't work well, thought another usb...

We in Texas are having tornadoes, I live in a storm corridor, and these outages happen every month or so. It's so bad, I've had three or four modems (last...

In the event a wireless adapter is not supported on XP or older OSes (like Windows 98), you can just run a modern host OS and run the older OSes in a VM. Then the VM translates a virtual driver to talk to the VM to translate the wireless connection....

Excellent Article but a contradictory in terms from the author

Dell backlit toggle and other FN keys
EDIT: there's really no way to fix the problem of keeping the keyboard always on. The BIOS has an option for the backlit which doesn't allow for always on, but only temporarily. Instead, you can get the Feature Enhancement Pack from Dell (google for...

Cheap 3.0 USB-C connectors might wreck your stuff?
First post
Apparently this new design -- a USB dongle which can insert either way into your USB ports -- this new design has problems, if too cheaply made.
Article here on what to watch out for, and who's poorly making the connectors.
Last post
I'd argue that a poor decision was done to decide adding resistors inside cables instead of the devices themselves (that has a host of problems by itself). At any rate nobody has provided conclusive evidence that Type C cables missing a pull up...
