    Neighbors

    Rules vary. Here, property lines, while facing it, right half is 100% mine, left is theirs. Living in a rural area, all barb wire. Don't care if they come on my property to fix theirs. If something knocks fence down, cows get out one way or the other, they wouldn't care if I did whatever I...

    External speakers for Visio TV

    What kind of tv do you have? Do you have a model number (so we can see what connections it has)? What tv service do you have, what kind of cables are used to connect it to the tv (description if you don't know)?

    External speakers for Visio TV

    Sound bars work good and easy. I had points so got a free Sony with wireless subwoofer. It connects with either an included optical cable or HDMI (you plug in a few devices if you have them, then just one HDMI to the tv.), TV remote runs the volume. Sounds excellent...

    ATT Hotspot

    No experience with AT&T since they don't service my area, but I am familiar with cell Internet and how those work. They can fail at any time. You can buy used ones on ebay or other places as long as they are "clean", nothing due on account, best if they take the same SIM/activation card...

    buying cable modem box

    I live in a rural area, no cable within 30 miles so no first hand info, but if you want to check buying some products, this is a good site to check. Some prices are expired, but there's discussion, better deals will have more thumbs up. You could also try searching for just cable modem, maybe...

    OT---COMPUTER LOCKS UP

    Ok, sorry about that. I've set a few people up with it, generally have everything done, and then a quick note of stuff they need to know, and don't have many issues. I tend to ramble as well, so that doesn't help either. There might be a logo/words shortly after you turn on your computer...

    OT---COMPUTER LOCKS UP

    Basically it's like this, and some people get annoyed by it. Me, I think people can suggest what they want within reason. Person one "I have a Ford, it's acting funny, can you guys figure it out?" Response "Buy a more expensive Chevy" Sometimes that's an appropriate response, sometimes...

    OT---COMPUTER LOCKS UP

    Software installer might be called Ubuntu Software Center, haven't looked at plain Ubuntu much in years. Also, in addition to Opera, you can install Chromium. It is what Chrome is based on, but things like Flash aren't built in, but it could be used for testing. And in the link I posted...

    OT---COMPUTER LOCKS UP

    If you're running Linux, you don't need to defrag. You also don't need more ram, 2GB is enough, less works too, 4GB is a decent number. There isn't the overhead that Windows has with more things running, no antivirus for example. Did this Dell come with Linux or was it installed later? How...

    OT---COMPUTER LOCKS UP

    There are no viruses to worry about, so he is correct. Don't know what issues he has with his builds, I don't with mine. What MarkB_MI said may be the issue. I don't know which distribution you have installed, but would guess Ubuntu or similar. There are security updates all the time, and...

    Review of DR brush cutter.

    Swisher makes a decent product. I always had one of their old 3 wheel, front wheel drive Big Mow mowers around. When I found out they were going to quit making them, I bought the last new model. Don't use it much since I got the DR trimmer though. I take that quick on the inner yard like a...

    Review of DR brush cutter.

    Thanks, I was thinking it was something like that. It would be handy otherwise.

    Review of DR brush cutter.

    How close to the ground does it cut? I've seen reports that it leaves some. One of my quarters (160 acres) has a lot of cedar trees, was overrun when I bought it from my mom. 15 years ago I went out with an axe and chainsaw, got many cleared out. I also hired a shear/skid loader for a few...

    OT-computer buying on shopping networks

    Newegg isn't as good as it was, but OK sometimes. I generally prefer Amazon. Lenovo bought IBM's laptop division some time ago. Thinkpad models were decent quality back in the day. They are an "OK" brand.

    OT-computer buying on shopping networks

    Any I've looked up from the shopping channels are overpriced for what you get, plus unnecessary extras. I assemble my own desktops, but I've ordered and helped order many Dells through the years, they aren't terrible. I'd suggest going to Slickdeals.net and search for what you're looking for...
