    Going from iTunes to Apple Music and Apple TV program on Windows. Can you share your library?

    We just got the iPhone 15's and when trying to sync the phone, iTunes said we could no longer use iTunes and would need to use the newer programs to access iPhone 15's. I have been using iTunes on Windows to share my music and movies out to other computers and Apple TV's on the home network. I...

    Is there a network monitoring program like Netgenius for Linux

    Looking for something that can show how much bandwidth individual programs have used for a period of time. But also something simple. I saw some websites with recommendations, but a lot of them look very detailed, which is fine if that is what is available, but mostly just looking to track...

    Where can I buy 4 pin molex male/female connectors?

    I used to see bulk kits available with the connector housings and pins. I finally used the last of mine on a recent project and am having a hard time finding them on ebay or amazon. Is there somewhere else that sells these for a good price? This is what I am looking for (black or white), but...

    Ubuntu shows 4x8GB installed, but only reports 24GB mem avail.

    This is on a rented server, so I am wondering if there is some OS feature I am missing. The server has Ubuntu 20 installed, and should be natively installed as far as I know, it shouldn't be a VM. I am running a VM within Ubuntu. I'm using KVM and have allocated 16GB to that VM. I'm wondering if...

    How am I getting 200-220MB/s over standard GigE between 2 computers?

    I have 2 computers right next to each other and each one has a dedicated GigE NIC with a crossover cable between the two. I give them dedicated IP addresses and use that for Windows mapping network drives. For some reason I get 200MB/s between these 2. I have used Jumbo Frames and stuff in the...

    Anyone else having poor experience with touch/hand tracking on Rift S?

    I had an original Rift with 3 cameras and the hand tracking was rock solid on that setup. But ever since moving to the Rift S, I have found the hand tracking to be deteriorating over time. They keep updating the firmware and software and I keep thinking this might be the time they finally fix...

    Are Sony Playstations in short supply right now? Pro specifically.

    I have been wanting to get a Playstation 4 Pro since FF7 came out. But Best Buy has not had any Playstation of any kind in stock for the last 2 weeks I have been looking. Best Buy is my preferred place to buy, but I have also checked other brick and mortar stores and look to have limited...

    Whats the best way to work on a new computer without activating the license?

    I want to add some additional hardware to a premade factory computer before I give it to someone. But I want them to be able to activate the Windows 10 license to their account. Do I need to make an offline account, make the changes, and then set up the first time boot experience? I don't...

    Where do all the remote controls go?

    I'm looking at eBay and other sources for used receivers because it's a fun addiction to buy unneeded audio gear for cheap. And I can't help but notice that like 90% of all receivers don't have a remote. And I'm not exaggerating that number. Where the hell do these remotes go?!?? Is that the...

    How does 2 rifts on 1 account work?

    I have a CV1 sitting in storage after upgrading to Rift S. What would happen if I were to put that on another computer? Would it be like Steam where I can only have the Oculus software open on 1 computer at a time? Would I only be able to play any single game on 1 computer at a time? Or would it...

    My (not extreme usage) experience of bringing a Intel 660p 1TB to 100MB/s write speeds.

    I have read about the write speed issues with the 660p, but I have 3 of them in service in my computers. 2x 1TB and 1x 512GB. They have issues, but they also work well in 2 of 3 cases I use them in (and they are very low power usage, which makes them good for laptops). But here was my bad usage...

    Ryzen 5 2600X: CPU temps swing all over. Normal?

    I have a new build that has a 2600X in a ITX small form factor, so I have been monitoring the temps to make sure cooling is adequate. I haven't really paid attention to CPU temps in the past on my other computers. The CPU temp swings all over the place very quickly, and I was just wondering if...

    Xbox One Controller Not Connecting After Using In Rift

    I've had this problem for a while and I finally tracked down the source of the problem. I have the Rift that included the Xbox One controller and wireless adaptor. What I have found is that if I use the controller in a Rift game, after the controller hibernates, it will not re-connect to the...

    My current favorite: Elite Dangerous

    Bought this when I first got the Rift last year but never got around to trying it out. Now that I have a better video card than I did last year, I decided to revisit (or visit rather) the game. It has a heck of a learning curve and I have had some jarring head tracking issues, but other than...

    What is the little circle on some pictures in text messages (IOS 10 & 11)

    I have noticed these little multi-circle symbols show up on certain images in text messages. It's only on pictures taken by the camera, but it's not all camera pictures. It doesn't appear to do anything when you try to touch it. Phone just treats it like touching the picture. Shows up on both...

    Oculus Rift and GTX 1060 with newer drivers (late 2017) jitter shutter lag glitch

    I had noticed slightly worse performance when I updated a month or so ago and then when Oculus 2.0 came out it forced me to upgrade to the latest and the perfomance was completely unusable (if the games would even load). I ended up downgrading from 2.0 (turn off beta) and rolled back to version...

    After 20 years of dreaming, I got a pair of Martin Logans

    It all started in the mid 90's when a friends older brother was making a killing in what we later called the Dot Com Bubble. He was in his early 20's and bought lots of cool stuff, a Toyota Supra Turbo, a Pentium computer and a pair of big Martin Logans (either SL3's or reQuest's). As an...

    Lone Echo (single player): A game to get!

    just got done playing about 2 hours of Lone Echo, my arms are pretty sore! This game is fantastic! It feels a little strange at first, the moving around, but after a while I was flying around walls and handles no problem. If you enjoyed the movie Gravity (the scenes without conversation and...

    New Rift Users: included OculusMirror.exe shows whats on HMD.

    Many programs I have tried so far will give you some idea of what is being show on the Rift, but some like Google Earth VR just show a splash screen on the desktop while running the program. When trying to explain to other people whats going on or give instructions you might want to be able to...

    Always wanted to make a case with speakers in it

    It's not "HiFi", but it sure has plenty of volume and will work great for the target audience. Was built for a family member. Plus it was fun! Case is Antec Three Hundred Two. Enclosed the harddrive cage with aluminum sheet metal. Used a non-ferrous blade to cut the metal. The Antec Three...

    1700 always at 3.6Ghz....no throttling? ASRock X370 Killer

    I am using the ASRock X370 Killer/SLI AC board. I didn't see a multiplier setting, just a place to type in the frequency directly. So I typed in 3600Mhz, and the system is fine. But when I run CPU-Z, it's always at 3.6Ghz. It never throttles down even when idle. Is this normal, or was there a...

    Can Windows 7 or 8.1 be installed on Rizen / X370? M.2 PCI Express?

    I'm looking to update my system and looking at the Rizen 1700. I have a bunch of Windows 7 and 8.1 licenses from the Technet days. My dad did a 1700 build a couple months ago and his setup wouldn't allow the keyboard/mouse to work (even with PS/2) so he just got a Windows 10 license. Is...

    Are there any 5.25" Slot loading drives anymore?

    Why does my motherboard sing?

    This is a AMD X4 system (old). Whenever the system is processing, the motherboard makes a screeching noise. Not the Harddrive (SSD), not the PSU or the fans or the internal speaker.....the motherboard itself. Very strange....I would guess its the voltage regulators or chokes or something on the...

    High Fidelity Pure Audio Blurays

    These aren't new....but to me they were. I had never heard of this format until last week. I just assumed the failure of SACD and DVD-A put the nail in coffin of physical hi-def audio discs. It looks like it's been around about 3 years now, but may already be facing extinction. Some albums are...

    Klipsch RC62 II (big) center channel @Frys for $134

    CD players that can play FLAC/Apple Lossless/AIFF?

    How is video sent to the unit?

    Does this use two separate video feeds or does it use the same interleaving trick that 3D televisions use (either double frame rate or interlaced)? And the card has to render the game twice right? Each lens gets it's own "camera" in game? So even 1920x1080, the card it still having to render...
