    Simple free backup solution

    I'll leave this open, and hope you're wrong then. If not, I guess I know what one of our students should work on.

    Simple free backup solution

    Recuva is a file recovery product, not a backup solution. Thus it's not useful in this instance. It also contains bloatware, which would disqualify it anyway. I know robocopy, but you can't expect a 85 year old women, who does not understand english, to script her own backup. I don't know of a...

    Simple free backup solution

    Hi. We frequently have to restore data at work due to ransomware, and I'm wondering if it isn't just as possible that my dear old grandma would run that risk at home. So what I would like to know, was options for a free and easy to use backup system that would allow IT illiterate apes to...

    Stop, Thief! Why Using an Ad Blocker Is Stealing

    This article is more or less bullbeep. If anything, it is the advertisers stealing from us readers. Also you can't liken voluntary content filtering with stealing just because we're talking less than you want us to. Our time is our resource, not yours, to govern. If advertising doesn't provide...

    Why Do People Buy Broken, Buggy Games?

    I've worked around the problem by simply stopping to preorder games. I burnt my fingers with Thief, Elder Scrolls Online and Sims 4 this year. And only ESO tried to mend the problems. For Thief it took me 4 months to find a solution that enabled me to complete a mission without the game crashing...

    Best 3D Printers 2013

    I was wondering if you can print 'strong' 3d elements using those printers? I'm planning on replacing many pieces of sheet metal on my aging Opel Ascona from 1970 with carbon fiber next year and was wondering if it'd be worth it to buy a 3d printer to 'print' hinges and other small parts that...

    VMWare Player avoid CPU detection

    I don't need any instruction set not commonly available, I just want the system not to notice if it's running on different, still intel core i, hardware. It's being deployed to a multitute of computers and there is potentially an issue with the software in it if the cpu change is detected.

    VMWare Player avoid CPU detection

    What I need is for the virtual Windows XP not to know if it runs on a Xeon E7 or a n i5-3210M or whatever it is running on.

    VMWare Player avoid CPU detection

    Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows a means by which I can avoid a virtual windows XP from noticing hardware changes in the host - in particular the CPU seems to be 'passed thru' from the host directly.

    Who Wants SteamOS?

    I've got an old laptop system (c2d, 2GB,i965 chip) in a drawer somewhere that I use for settlers 4 only. Once the OS is released I'll try it out on it.

    EA Sells Battlefield 3, Dead Space 3, More in Humble Bundle

    @spat55 : you can do as I did, and move the slider so that humble got every penny of the purchase. That way you're paying the company that enables you this deal instead of a charity neither you nor anyone you're related to can benefit from. Humble's probably still american, but this way you're...

    Surface RT - what to do with it?

    It's been at my place a little while now. I'll be handing it back to my boss tomorrow. Rubbish thing. As useless as an apple fanboy.
