    Question New TV Buying Recommendations?

    It looks like my 15 year old Samsung 46" LCD TV has given up the ghost. Is there a site for television reviews and ratings, similar to Tom's Hardware, but for televisions?

    [SOLVED] URL format requirements

    Yes, C:\ for a DOS command, but I'm talking about a URL for entering into a browser address. Should that ever have a backslash after the dot com?

    [SOLVED] URL format requirements

    Have you ever been listening to an advertisement on the radio and the the voice says Blah blah blah company at so and so dot com BACKSLASH bozo? If the dot com is followed by a slash, shouldn't it always be a forward slash (/ commonly denoted as just "slash") and never a backslash (\)? It just...

    Looking for a Router with a STRONG FIREWALL!

    OK. Thanks again, Sir! I reread your recommendations about a backup system and you said that I could modify your routine by adding an external USB HDD, correct? How large should I buy? Thanks for the rec about imgur.com, too! Y0GI

    Looking for a Router with a STRONG FIREWALL!

    OK, If I could please bother you one more time, Mr. USAFRet? I tried posting a pic, but I guess that I need a 3rd party hosting site? I used to use Photobucket but they outlawed 3rd party referrals. Anyway, my question has to do with the "System Reserved Partition." I thought that it was...

    Looking for a Router with a STRONG FIREWALL!

    OK. I do have a 1 TB External USB HDD which I forgot to mention. I have been backing up to it (sometimes) mostly by copying and pasting important files, such as outlook.pst. Not a good practice at all, I know. It's getting late and I need to take my meds and get something to eat. I'll study...

    Looking for a Router with a STRONG FIREWALL!

    Good point, Mr USAFRet! My 1 TB Seagate is 5 or 6 years old but still running fine. It gets a 100% score on Hard Disk Sentinel at every boot up. I've been away from Tom's HW for about 4 yrs now, so I'm not too familiar with today's HW. I don't have any spare HDDs laying around, except for a...

    Looking for a Router with a STRONG FIREWALL!

    Well, I have switched over to IE (from Firefox) and installed the BitDefender Premium VPN (for what that's worth?) in addition to the previously mentioned BitDefender Total Security 2019 . So far, so good, since the changes. Response is a little slow sometimes, but I have not received anymore...

    Looking for a Router with a STRONG FIREWALL!

    A couple of months ago, I was surfing some websites where I didn't belong (pron). Last week my Malwarebytes subscription expired and I bought a new subscription to BitDefender, but like a DA, I didn't install it right away. So, this week I start getting all kinds of error messages in Firefox...

    How many sticks of RAM?

    For a given quantity, like 32 GB, I would go with 4 sticks. More efficient and, like SR71 said, less stress on the MC. Yogi
