Where Tech Isn't So Technical…
I chose this one because of the unique nature of the case. I did not think to do all of the testing that YouTube channels like Gamers Nexus does when I was building at Fry’s and thinking… “That’s a cool case.” Chances are: GN would tell me that “it’s a hot case.” 🙂 So, I…
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…
I haven’t really bought a PC since prior to 2006 when I bought my first Mac. I previously thought it was a MacBook, but it was a MacMini. Only after the transition to Intel processors from the PowerPC line of processors because Intel was more powerful per watt. Here is that 2006 Mac mini in…
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 –…
