Amplifier circuit by Flasherly[_2_]
Equalizer's unit: I see (linear tapered) pots listed for some (short) resistance, for instance 100 Ohm-1MegaOhm. I've got a grab-bag of different value, perhaps small value resistors, but, instead, what happens if I wire the volume pot signal directly (disconnect it, or both channels for a signal...

Aneng M118A review by Flasherly[_2_]
No wonder I ended up with this multimeter -- a no-brainer, fly-paperweb for catching people after they've flitted away an old multimeter, wont to pick up the first thing that catches their eye. Which I did. Instant gratification. Aneng pretty much dominates low-end, cheap functionality with...

Do 9v batteries historically suck? by Flasherly[_2_]
Looks like I killed my multimeter by reversing the polarity to a 9V transformer I wired into the meter for a replacement power source. Like I keep 9V batteries around anymore. So I wired up a 150mA 9V transformer to soar and "be free". It worked and then, out of curiosity, I flipped the...

Old MOBO, PS and CPU-fan running without start button. by Patrick[_10_]
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 775 - GA-945P-S3 (rev. 1.0) I have everything disconnected apart the two power connecters. When I turned on/connect the AC, the Power-Supply turns-on and the CPU-fan runs at full speed. Has anybody got an idea why this is happening?

WDMyStore device not seen as network drive on Win 8.1 by Bob F
I use my 4TB older WDMyCloud drive as network storage. It works great on my Win 7, XP, Vista PC's, but I cannot get it to work reliably on the 2 8.1 PC's I have here. It shows up as a "Storage" device when Windows File Explorer is brought up and "Network" clicked, and accesses the WDMyCloud's...

5400 RPM HDD vs 7200 RPM HDD vs SATA SSD by Larc[_3_]
I recently replaced my antique Toshiba laptop with a new shiny new HP, which I freely admit is at least partly a toy since I'm retired and do my real work on a PC. The new laptop arrived with a 1TB 5400 RPM HDD. I added a 250GB NVMe SSD to use for the system drive and set up 2 partitions on the...

Does anyone Skype? by John B. Smith
This doesn't seem a likely place to ask but can't find a newsgroup. Though I did post on Microsoft skype forum. I bought a second webcam, a pricey Amcrest AWC496. On https://www.wikihow.com/Test-a-Webcam-on-PC-or-Mac I can test the webcam picture (of me) and have tons of microphone volume thru...

How best to make a PC with lots of 5.25" bays by James Harris[_2_]
I'd like to set up a machine with a relatively high number of 5.25" slots - maybe between eight and a dozen - but am struggling to find suitable chassis hardware. To illustrate what I have in mind, you could think of the front of the finished machine as looking something like the following...

What's a good new 24"+ monitor or even a TV (smart & 4K R OK)? by Ant[_3_]
What's a good new 24"+ monitor or even a TV (smart and 4K are OK, but please no Roku since their RCs are awful without numbers for cable & OTA inputs) for mostly computers (Internet, meetings, Office, etc.), gaming, videos (locally and online), etc.? It will be placed on an office desk. It also...

AMD Eyzen cpus and ram speed by Peter Johnson[_5_]
An item in a recent issue of a UK PC magazine said, in essence, that using ram with the right speed was essential to get the best out of AMD Ryzen cpus, which wasn't something that I'd come across before. But how does ram speed correlate to cpu speed? I didn't get an answer when I asked the...

zoom meetings, webinars and my sound by John B. Smith
I recently was invited to attend a webinar on a subject that interested me. The sound was atrocious, in that it kept fading in and out. Previously I tried to attend a Zoom meeting only to be told by the site that my sound was 'not acceptable' or something like that. I am running XP and Firefox (in...

USB2 screw-type HUB by Flasherly[_2_]
Garbage. Cheap, they all are except for the usual jerk-around for the usual money spent with four times less intelligence than it takes to figure, really, much else out. A politically shriveled Chinese market merged with Hong Kong now means 25% mark-up on domestic West Coast exclusions to...
