Is there Documentation on "How to use Powershell to remove unwanted Apps"? See this howto: http://www.howtogeek.com/224798/how-to-uninstall-windows-10s-built-in-apps-and-how-to-reinstall-them/ I'd recommend you make a script to remove the apps you don't want; because Microsoft is sure to ...
Easier way to disable it is just to add this key to the registry once (you can save this as a .reg file & run it) Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\LockApp.exe] "debugger"="rundll32.ex...
If you have a passive PSU, or one that turns its fan off during low draw; then a positive or negative design is preferred over balance, as it'll move air though what might otherwise be a heat trap.
Some cards have circuitry to detect how many pins are actually hooked up. They could also just be soldered together, making it moot. In any case you can check if the card is throttling.. Download GPUz , and run a game or a graphics stress test like furmark ; GPUz should show the card reaching it's a...
I dunno if you're going to find one device that does all of that.. There might be something specially geared to maritime use, but you'd be paying a big markup for that. Even just dual WAN with wifi as a WAN interface is tricky... Plenty of consumer wifi routers have dual WAN capability, (I know asus...
So I upgraded a Win 7 Pro to W 10 Pro. I thought for the Pro version I would be able to select updates as I choose?? (but I can't) Is that an enterprise version only option? Yeah, the old method of choosing your updates is enterprise only now. Thanks Microsoft. In response to driver updates messing...
I can get a pair of Panasonic 12v 12Ah batteries that fit the place of the APC RBC6. Not cheap though. When I do replacements I just use generic deep-cycle batteries externally and do the wiring myself. As long as you match the voltage you're fine. Is there a good rule of thumb for how long you sho...
This article walks you through how to setup a boot performance trace, so you can see what the problem is: https://Helgeklein.com/blog/2013/07/analyzing-a-slow-boot-with-windows-performance-recorder-analyzer/ heh, it's been so long since I've booted from a magnetic disk, I don't even know what an ave...
Chiming in the on the automatic updates/restarts we all love so much... I usually just keep the update service disable until I feel like going into 'maintenance mode', but if that's too much hassle: there are tools that will prevent the auto-restarts associated with updates. I feel like Microsoft co...
I you have a traffic-shaper ( included in some firewalls, but I can't think of a freeware one offhand ) you can directly cap the browsers bandwidth, netflix & other video streams should automatically downgrade to fit in what's allowed.
Isn't that the default setting of the windows firewall. Doesn't appear that Windows 10 will provide notifications when it blocks outgoing connections. At this point it seems like a conscious decision on Microsoft's part to keep people from enabling outgoing blocks; can't have users interfering with...
I'd love to just use the built in firewall; but my problem is I want to block outgoing connections by default. So I need something that will let me know when a blocked app is requesting a connection & and give a quick way to make a new rule for it. There are utilities that will act as a front-en...
Every few months I find myself going though my downloads/documents folders to organized the files I've accumulated. Generally this means moving the files to one of a dozen or so archival folders, or else deleting them. Doing this in explorer is time consuming. And it's irritating to have to wait on ...
Yeah, permanently shorting the black green wire will do it. Sans digital also makes a drive cage that will do it for you. It's basically a cage, fan, and plug for the atx psu connection with a switch, see below, I've seen that for ~$25 on sale sometimes. http://www.amazon.com/Sans-Digital-HDDRACK5-5...
Mysql/mariaDB is pretty much the standard free database. Postgresql is also good. Both would work great for a project like this, and they have bindings in pretty much every language. If you use mysql, the best engine to choose is innodb. The easy way to do the communication is to run a webserver on ...
If the voltage is just sagging (brownout condition), you may be better off with a line conditioner - a transformer that will boost the voltage back to nominal. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-LC1200-Conditioner-Outlet/dp/B0000512LA/ I would especially recommend looking at these...
Google port mirroring and see if you router/switch supports it. You basically want to tell your network equipment to forward the traffic on every port you want to monitor to a machine running wireshark. I know dd-wrt is able to do this, not sure about others.
I like to use a system wide download manager, just because I use firefox beta builds which tend to be crashy.
I've used both getright & free download manager; I'd recommend either of them without hesitation. (you have the right site for free download manager, I guess they just look sketchy)
I've been sticking with the merlin builds. They strike a good balance between reliability and customization, and expose almost* all the features in need in the gui. The stock firmware is pretty good though, the only feature I would really miss from merlin is the JFFS partition. *I think I have a cus...
The majority of OS devs recommend you leave paging up to the OS. Yes, good, that's the best thing to do for most users. However it isn't true that this is the best advice for *all* users. I assure you there are workflows that perform better without an on disk pagefile (a squid cache is one example)....
About the page file; I posted this back in 2004 , it remains true today: Windows does not need a disk based page file if you have enough ram to cover your peak memory usage. Because Windows pages to disk long before it exhausts main memory, you will see a performance boost by disabling the disk page...
