  2. Order Placed! - (Your latest online purchase.)

    I have had really good luck with "Mighty Max" batteries for my UPS's. I buy higher amperage, i.e. 12v 9AH vrs 12v 8AH ones and connect them external on an insulated container since they are slightly physically larger. Any problems, I can put the voltmeter on them while they are going "wonkie"...

  4. Remove the top left pane from File Explorer entirely

    Interesting request. I have been trying for quite a while to do the opposite. I like a blank screen [unlike W11 with all the non sense stuff in the middle] but am satisfied with the left most area, what I don't like is "Devices and Drives" and "Folders" area. It opens up sometimes and shows...
  5. Manual install 24H2 - only 1 odd problem so far

    For the first time I was offered 24H2 via Widows Update today. I made a quick back up and gave it the ok to install. Took a while but it finally installed without any obvious problems. SFC /scannow was error free, however when I did "Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup" it...

    Thanks for the info hsehestedt, not going to mess with it. (Never thought this question should be put in "devices and drivers"):confused:
  8. Is this "partition" necessary?

    Simple question, is the partition in the middle necessary. Its 16 MB not much but don't know if win 11 needs this. (Win 11 23H2 22631.4541)
  9. What phones does everyone use?

    Yes, was thinking about deleting and starting again and using a different digit. "They" say that when you get a certain age, your finger prints are less and less prominent.? Maybe it is me "practicing" safe cracking has them worn down. :O). I updated my Pixel 9 to android 15 a day after it...
  10. What phones does everyone use?

    Pixel 6a, then Pixel 7 and now Pixel 9. All versions still have trouble with fingerprint. I hate to torture my phone by using face unlock, :O( but it works.

    I have 1 GB fiber service that connects to my garage/laundry room. I have a 2.5GB switch there that I used CAT6 to the opposite end of the house where I also have another 2.5GB switch. Both switches show 2.5GB speed (blue light) for D-link indicators. Ports connected to computers are still...

  15. CyberPower UPS Battery+Surge Outlets Suddenly Not Working?

    I have mostly cyberpower ups's. It always seems a hassle to replace batteries. Unplug all devices, I used to take the ups to the garage work bench, perhaps your wife will allow you to do it on the kitchen table :O and remove the battery access cover, slide the batteries out, disconnect and...
