Gateway PC Windows 8.1. Got this pc some years back. Came with 1 repair disk and 3 disks for recovery. Replaced it with aoother pc and put it on the shelf for a couple years. Decided to give it to the grandkids ... or sell it if its too old. Pulled the 1TB harddrive and wiped it using Disk...

BTW, I am reading about a GL.iNet GL-MT3000 which, again, seems to be useable as an access point. Any info here?

That's the kind of answers that are helpful. Thanks much. As to the product of that type (sold anywhere) does anyone know if they work as a nas or is it all a big hype? Don't mind paying a bit more, just trying to keep it simple for a simple guy.

Anyone ever use a Blueendless Multi-Functional 3.5inch Hard Disk Enclosure USB3.0 enclosure for home networking? I have a dual disk Synology and two brand new 1TB disks but I have put off installing it as it seems a bit much for just a home network. This Blueendless looks to be more to my...

Just cleaning up the machine. Do I really need these user guides, do they bog the system, can they be uninstalled

is chromium integrated in ms Edge or does it have to be loaded

What I am getting here are several directives, none bad just personal choice things. Of these, two are paramont; #1 - a good hard drive in a home system does not have to be a WD Red or that type. It may be a good quality standard pc drive, including SSD's as it is not under a continual...

Wow, the lights go on, flickering that is. (I am going to make a long answer for both input and others that are in the same boat.) On the one hand, speed is not that important in the transfer, but the storage and compatibility thing is important. I am a WordPerfect user, have been since 5 1/4...

Thanks. I am thinking there is a bug in this router as I have reset it "dozens" of times. Sometimes I can get to the sign in but usually I get an error message to check the cables and such and try again. Further, and mainly, I can't get past the sign in. "Admin" doesn't work and my Linksys...

So if you noticed, I have been messing around with second router off and on for several months, off and on means I get irritated and set it aside for a week or so. I have a linksys router and cannot break into the system to change the ip or dhcp. So now, for the last week, now I have been...

Thanks for your interest. I'll throw out a couple more queries on other sites to see what folks are doing then decide if I want fb any deeper in my bizness.

And here is a mystery ... how do I use an app which I do not have, better still, how did they set it up without an app to send the pin number to (sorry "to which to send a pin number") ... hhhmm ... this issue is about security yet it seems I have none to begin with as I must assume that fb...

Quite possibly. I have looked at a myriad of sites and helps. Unless I missed something, you have to have this installed on your cell phone to do anything with it. I have little interest or use for cell phones, or ipads, chess and emergency calls excepted. And, as far as I can tell, it is...

How do I get rid end to end encryption on fb messenger without a cell phone
