Am I missing something here? Are folks trying to remove their card with the PC still on?

yes it's static. The PC having the issue did not have a static IP and even though I've done nothing since then, the name resolves to the NAS once again on it. I am going to make that PC static however (as is most of my network)

The samba share is hosted through TrueNAS. I have one computer (Windows 10 Pro) connecting to the share just fine. I just setup a new computer, fresh install of Windows 10 Pro. On TrueNAS I created a new user for the share. First attempt to connect from the new machine it worked. After a...

I ended up finding my win7 cd and and tried a restore. It was from 2017 but resolved the issue, but no telling how many other security updates I may have lost doing that. Would you know of any website maintaining legacy updates for windows?

I have an old Asus N55S laptop I bought back in 2012 with Win 7 (home premium). Haven't used it in years because the network stopped working, both wired and wireless. I recently picked up a USB wifi adapter to try and use the laptop but ended up with the same issue. It'll say I've connected to...

Wasn't sure where to put this but hopefully someone can explain this crap to me in a way that makes sense. FB added end-to-end ecryption to messenger. From the browser, my settings show it's turned off and nothing has appeared differently. But on my phone, the messenger app forced me to create...

Yes there are several .mov files. But I think the issue is Windows (or possibly hardware). When I copy a single image over, the image immediately following it also gets overwritten with the same data. Name stays the same but it duplicates what I copy over. To test a theory, I copied an image...

Transferring from an iphone connected over usb to windows 10 has never exactly been smooth, but I'm having more trouble than usual. Trying to copy several gigs of images from the phone but I can't do it in one transfer, it'll fail and I'll have no idea where it stopped at, so I've been doing it...

It's common to have the neutral and ground bars bonded inside the main panel, it might even be code. (on subpanels the bars must remain separate) Because of this, I've seen people install newer outlets into homes that did not have a ground and will use a jumper wire on the outlet connecting the...

sounds like a driver issue

That did the trick, though it's not exactly straightforward on how you set different wallpaper per screen. MS could improve this a lot, or at least fix the bug that's apparently still present in 11 as I read.

I prefer samsung nvme drives. On paper at least, the evo has faster write times than that kingston and WD black even faster. And until just now, I didn't realize how insanely cheap NVMEs have become. $50 for a 1TB? I think I spent over $200 for my evo! Kingston is not a no name brand by any...

Do you want to stick with Intel or will you conside AMD? These days I think amd gets more bang for the buck. What's the ram you have now? That will also determine which motherboards to choose from.

Windows 10, dual monitor setup. My main monitor is 1920x1080 but my other is at 1200. I set my background to image of 1920x1200 and it crops to fit the smaller screen and carries that cropped version over to the larger screen. It's a known issue apparently as noted in the link below. I tried...

Why would you have to downgrade your monitor to connect it to your graphics card?
