HDMI in-ports vs HDMI out-ports (possibly related to damaged monitorHDMI OUT to OUT) by [email protected]
Here is my question: Why does the Denon A/V Receiver 1909 have a difference in labelling at the back ? At the back there are 4 HDMI ports, all of same connector type, all female or male... no difference. These all appear to be female. 3 ports are labelled as "in"... for example tv/dvd/hdp. 1...

another 1920x1200 LCD problem by [email protected]
I had a Samsung 2443 sitting in a cupboard for ages. I plugged it in to a laptop using VGA cable, and screen is blank. If I shine a torch onto the screen, I can see the image, meaning the backlight is shirking its duty. However, if cable unplugged, you get the moving box telling you there is no...

Funny - Spectre 32" Monitor by Flasherly[_2_]
Walmart online, pickup at the nearest store. Walmart advertised it on sale for $79. Walmart really, really needs to sell it for $35, but no one's interested, and plenty can't wait to buy one. I have a theory: Spectre chips the monitor to fail at 363 days. A Spectre warranty is 364 days.

Something is scanning my system, probably spyware in Firefox. by [email protected]
It happens from system process. It reads DLLS and all kinds of other crap it has no busy reading this. 192 kb/sec per file... it's quite taxing on my system and quite annoying. My best guess it's Firefox secretly scanning installed programs ?! Bye, Skybuck.

Sandy Bridge SATA degradation flaw by [email protected]
The 67 chipsets SATA (3 Gbps) ports were supposed to fail over time. I still have several PCs with 67 chipsets. I don't know what stepping they are (old or fixed). So how to tell? Would plugging in an SSD and doing a large file benchmark diagnose a sickly chipset?

spdif pins by [email protected]
Somehow I can't see original message on google groups. My question is simply about pins in this case 1 pin. Is 1 pin connect to the wire or two ? Usually there is a plus and minus when it comes to eletricity/electronics. Looking at the cables there seems to be 1 pin and then something circular.

USB to VGA/DVI adapters - ever used one? by [email protected]
I have seen them with USB3, then I came across one with USB2! Must be awfully slow. I wonder what you would use it for. One place I worked had a cluster with a chilled water heat exchanger stuck directly behind the rack, so it would have been not feasible to plug in a DVI connector if techie wanted...

Microsoft Terminal by Flasherly[_2_]
