    PSA: Cloning a Windows 10 or 11 PC's boot disk and "Device Encryption"

    I have cloned existing HDD's and some too-small SSD's in Windows 10 laptops and PC's to new, larger SSD's maybe 10 or 12 times in the past 2 years using Macrium Reflect 8 with no issues.......until I ran into this just in the last 2 days. This was a Windows 10 laptop that had been updated by...

    Free Linksys WRT54GL wireless router, just pay shipping to a mainland U.S. state

    As the thread title says, I have a WRT54GL for anyone that wants it. It works great, is in great condition, antennas not broken, original 12VDC wall wart, etc. Images below show hardware and firmware versions. I don't need it, it's in the way but hate to toss it. Someone may love installing...

    Alabama executes a man with nitrogen gas, the first time the new method has been used

    It seems the heinous crime this man was convicted of got lost in the controversy, resulting in more outpouring of sympathy and empathy for him than the victim. I say "good riddance and wish it had not taken so long." Way to go 'Bama...another one bites the dust...

    Police Dashcam video: Missouri cops chase truck pulling a 60 ft. single wide mobile home

    It's either a Dodge with a Cummins Diesel or an old Ford 7.5L Powerstroke Diesel (I lean toward the Dodge) but either way, Bubba made a nighttime Thanksgiving Day run to 1) avoid a commercial tow and associated permit fees) or 2) move momma closer to home or 3) both! :lmao:

    Happy Thanksgiving 2023

    I hope everyone and their respective families enjoy a bountiful, peaceful and safe Thanksgiving this year. Speaking for myself, in spite of the complaining and moaning, I know I have much to be thankful for. I've been outside of this great country many times and have served in a foreign war so...

    My down-the-road neighbor backs into my mail box

    I'm not sure if he knew it or not but his F-150 is like mine and surely has a backup camera PLUS it's a clear sunny day. It likely scratched his right rear fender near the taillight or the tailgate a bit because it cocked the mailbox on its post about 3" north, as you can tell from the "BEFORE"...

    Is it possible Reolink has made some terrific and overdue changes? Or is it all talk and no action? ( Reolink ColorX , Reolink CX410 )

    Is it possible Reolink has made some terrific and overdue changes? Or are they just throwing around new, catchy hi-tech buzz words? Excerpt: "During the night, ColorX technology allows infrared and visible light to reach the image sensor of the security cameras. This feature improves the...

    Never thought I'd say this, but.....

    Never thought I'd say this, but lately the USPS has provided me with more accurate, useful and timely tracking info than UPS. UPS has a black hole between the time it's shipped and the time it arrives on the front porch. It's been like this for months. FedEx still OK, pretty informative and...

    Mama deer and her fawn

    Caught this on one of my 2 new Reolink doorbells, this at the side door to start, then the 2 ran into the front yard where my FlagCam picked them up. Pretty sure this is because we let our small dogs out of the fence for a backyard run and mom understandably got spooked and took her baby away...

    Rat snake inspects my fiber modem Sunday night!

    Last week I shared my install of a little TP-LINK Tapo cam to watch the status LEDs on my fiber modem. Nothing much going on until about 9:19 PM Sunday night when Blue Iris sent me a motion alert. I walk into the office, look at the screen and here's this rat snake crawling up the back board and...

    Bunny rabbit running alongside my F-150 this morning.

    Pretty sure it's the same cottontail we saw at 6:45 PM the evening before while walking our 5 little dogs. Wife had 3 and I had 2 and it was all we could do to hang on to their leashes...it was "GAME ON"! :lmao: It's at lower right, I was afraid it'd dart in front of me and I sure didn't want...

    Close call today....texting or ????

    I had a close call this morning as evidenced by the attached video from my dash cam. A contractor driving a late model, white F-250 Super Duty pulling an empty tamdem wheel trailer comes at me head-on at about 35 MPH. As he got closer and was headed toward the grass on the my side I realized he...

    Well, the live streaming of the Bluebird Box Cam is going well, the pair finally started working on the nest. I began this morning having Blue Iris save a snapshot JPG/JPEG every 10 minutes and am looking for a program to stitch them together to make a time-lapse MP4 . Any suggestions? Free...
