Where Tech Isn't So Technical…
I am doing some comparisons between my laptop and my desktop. Let’s look at the basic specs of both. Desktop: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600X GPU: AMD Radeon RX5600XT RAM: 16GB 3000Mhz Corsair LPX Vengeance Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Pro B550 Storage: 256GB NVME drive (OS/Data); 1TB WD HDD (games); 2TB Seagate HDD (games) Laptop: Model: MSi…
It’s five months into 2022 and I haven’t posted anything here. It’s been a busy 5 months of working. Just keeping my head down and working. I am ready to come out of hiding and start posting again.
Apple and AT&T have tried to make a big deal of 5G connectivity. I have found that 5G isn’t any faster than LTE where I live and work. It only hurts battery life. I have collected a couple of screenshots to try and prove my point. Let’s go over some results. The overall results… The…
I was able to obtain this laptop. It is a fantastic laptop. It’s not from a recent series of laptops and the CPU is only a 4-Core i5 CPU (very similar to the one found in my MacBook Pro) So,here it is… MSi … I guess for PC parts, I am an MSi fanboy for…
From the archives: November 2017. This was a neat experience… I guess that if you going to spend this much on a CPU, it might as well have unique packaging. The Threadripper certainly had that. I wanted to post this. I only got to do 3 Threadripper builds. It is not a mainstream CPU and…
What is this blog post about? It is about my journey to learn Active Directory as much as I could on a non-domain network. I began this journey last year. I understand the importance of Active Directory in the domain and felt that I am best served to learn it on my own. That is…

As an influence from friends, again, I got to use a PC Compatible [at the time, they were still referred as “Compatibles” because IBM was still building and selling PCs]. This one, in particular, was a Tandy 1000 x386 model. I didn’t have a CD-ROM but it had dual 5.25” floppy drives. I don’t think…
I saw the Apple //c at a local computer store (remember those…). It was down the strip mall from the Food World where my mom shopped. I went shopping with my mom partly so I could goto the computer store. I got the promo materials for the //c and took them home. Apple //c –…
Sometime in the early 80’s, I got my first computer for Christmas. Our friends, the Williams, had one and it was so cool. That computer was a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A Home Computer. It was so amazing that it could do so much stuff, I mean play games. I don’t have any fancy pictures if it,…
