Chrome blasts XP out of the water when I Exit from it by John B. Smith
My employer uses Google Chrome for their OS (it's a school). I installed some variant of the Chrome browser on my WindowsXP desktop and am able to sign onto the school's website, get my email, view paychecks, ask for time off, info on snow days etc. Very useful. I can't make out what version of...

DAC Everything by Flasherly[_2_]
I found some $3000/US DAC units. I got the cheapest on Amazon, the most people like, and had to immediately take it apart. Poor construction tolerances for a 1/8" headphone jack, and had to modify the case accordingly. Actually, an Ebay item, sold for "new" from someone dealing only in items of...

Got the NEOTECH DAC. Smaller USB PWR plug & basically the same as the older unit. Except the NEOTECH headphone output plug works. The old unit was pure static, run simultaneously with the TOSLINK engaged, with the same static bleeding, regardless, into the TOSLINK with the sensitivity jacked up...

Stereo PC crap [AKA: digital domain audio/visual] by Flasherly[_2_]
Swapped out one of two ASUS Xonar's, I have, in duplicated models. Seems I managed to break the primary backplane stereo/quad (archaic: duplicity) over various two-amp configurations, as well as in mixer-board blending. Anyway, I went to S/PDIF in TOSLINK laser-carrier modulation. Which doesn't...

I just noticed, finally, that my Avast is 'no longer supported for XP or Vista'. I'm looking for a free antivirus and it seems to be a tough hunt. I finally downloaded something from Scanguard, but it's not really free, just runs a scan for you, there's no real-time protection. I wasn't able to...

TeeVee audio amp gaving it up by Flasherly[_2_]
Cold weather operation, which may change when warmer. Software auto-off/on LED television function. Switched back on, there's a minute or two delay, after which, the audio amplifier goes nuts, into a full-volume condition similar to white-noise. Vol turned fully off still leaks some discernable...
