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

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...

My genealogy program will create a very large file for Word that I

year. The file is currently over 3000 pages. If I try to do any

There is a usb external harddisk attached to the laptop.
I tried to reach for my old phone (dead too) and in the process I knocked over a cup of water.

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 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

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

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

the site that my sound was 'not acceptable' or something like that.
I am running XP and Firefox (in...
