    Western Digital up to dirty tricks, issuing warnings at exactly 3 years old

    I was watching that SpaceRex YouTube video over the weekend. Sounds like the new policy effects pretty much all the WD NAS and surveillance hard drives. After 3 years the drive will get flagged as bad, so you won't get any bad sector alerts.

    Gigabyte Motherboards Were Sold With a Firmware Backdoor

    Gigabyte has been one of the leading motherboard manufacturers for a long time. This could tarnish their reputation a bit if they don't address it with a firmware update or something. I used an Asus motherboard for my recent Blue Iris build, the Gigabyte board is for my main PC. Hopefully Asus...

    Gigabyte Motherboards Were Sold With a Firmware Backdoor

    I built a new PC about a year ago and installed a new Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite motherboard, which appears to be on the list. I have used a lot of Gigabyte motherboards in the past with previous builds and have never had any issues. Hopefully Gigabyte addresses this issue ASAP!

    Amazon cheating Return

    And that's also one reason why credit card interest rates are so high, to cover these sort of losses.

    How are you mounting your Unifi router and switch? Are you installing a rack in or putting them in the cabinet?

    Amazon cheating Return

    I used to work with a guy about a decade ago who had a friend that owned a Ford Mustang GT, I think a 2011 model. Evidently the following year model the rear tail lamps were updated. This guy actually went to a local Carmax dealer and found one of the newer Mustangs with the new style tail lamps...

    Dreaded Memory Leaks - need ideas SOLVED

    Sounds like you threw the baby out with the bath water! lol I know how frustrating running down a problem like that can be. I built a new PC to use for Blue Iris recently. Intel 11700 i7 CPU, integrated graphics. Did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro, no anti virus program, then loaded Blue...

    New bid - restaurant

    I've seen a few posts in this forum that were obviously from a BOT of some sort, but really don't understand what their end game is. Why would they mess with this kind of forum?

    Gotta love using vegetable oil in the crankcase. Doesn't look like it held up so well! I've watched some of those "Just rolled in" videos, along with the Ford tech that makes a lot of YouTube videos. Both are entertaining and informing. I wish I had the time to produce stuff like that, but I...

    Yea, that was too low of a rear diff ratio for that car! lol! The 3:55 would have been a better gear for the street. But I'm sure you had a blast driving it with your buds, I miss those old C6 trannies. I use to overhaul a lot of them back in the day. Now we are dealing with 10 speed automatics.

    That Boss Mustang was an awesome ride! Strange Brew, You must have been an Eric Clapton and Cream fan! lol. :headbang: The 69 Torino CobraJet was a great car as well.

    Selling house and need to swap in cheap cams

    Definitely remove all the cams prior to putting the house on the market. It's still a selling point that the house is prewired for security cams. After the house is listed and a realtor shows it anything like that is going to be part of the deal. We wanted to keep a light fixture in a house we...

    Was it the 2.3L Turbo Coupe model? Those were pretty cool. That was one of the first Ford's that had a turbo option.

    I started with Ford in 1977, so I have worked on all of the Fords you have listed when they were new, with the exception of the 69 F100. That 69 F100 is worth more now than when it was new! Here is my Ford List: 1977 Ford Country Squire station wagon 1981 Ford Thunderbird 1985 Ford Econoline...

    What Does Windows 11 give me. Should I upgrade.

    I recently built a new PC to use as a Blue Iris server. Asus Z590 motherboard with an Intel i7-11700 CPU with integrated graphics. After doing a clean install of Windows 11 using the Media creation tool, I thought I was going to have to buy a license for Windows 11. But I had an old Windows 8...

    LOL I know how your dad feels. I have worked as an automotive technician in Ford dealership service departments for over 40 years. All of my immediate family members drive Fords. It just makes sense. They get my employee discount when buying the vehicle, then get VIP service if they need repairs...

    I've been using the copy/paste function forever, but just recently learned about the Control V function. I never had a need to learn keyboard shortcuts until now. We have a program in our service department that requires a vehicle's 17 digit VIN number to be entered into another program to...
