Lots of drone sighting news lately. Words like "big as a bus", "size of a golf cart", etc. Since I can't buy a drone the size of a bus or golf cart, and I don't know of anyone that can, then these things must be from our government. Everyone is asking the same question..."who is doing this?" and even our elected officials are getting into the fray. Some info has to be released soon or someone will end up shooting one down.

6730b..none of my friends ever backup their phones. Good advice to do that but who does?

I changed my own engine oil for the first time.

Getting ready to change the cabin air filter for the Lexus. Ordered one on Amazon. It goes behind the glove box. -
I still prefer a blue tooth mouse. Mostly from Logitech.

50 billion to charity from Bill Gates....but has that amount really cured or fixed anything? I could not find any references on line that said exactly what was accomplished by this large amount. (except a mention that he provided contraceptives to Africa.)

Good luck Ryan..I know some day traders that had lots of fun at first, but lost everything at the end. So only bet (invest) what you can afford to lose if things go south.

Can a tablet replace an office laptop ? My journey.
TreeTopsRanch replied to Bullit's topic in Mobile Devices & Gadgets
kojack said: "Talk to me when it runs windows. It's a cool tablet, but for a productivity tablet nothing touches windows based systems. Having the full versions of software is a big deal." You are so correct. I've been saying that for 20 years. But a windows laptop is even better for productivity. -
Well I have a wife, (a real woman), and she does use the computer every day. She is proficient in spreadsheets and word processors. For some reason she doesn't seem to have any interest in any forum. Nor does she do Facebook or any other site that requires interaction with others. Yet, she does email to many of her friends. So, go figure.

Sure can't sleep playing that one.

Born in the 30's. I am very happy. 😃

"Where do you see this community in 5 years?" Well I sure hope it's still around in 5 years. But, I suspect it will not. Reason, the youngsters (Kids) are not into computers like we are. They all use phones and trying to use this site on a phone is a really big chore. I know they may need some computer knowledge for work but at home they use a phone. I am seeing this more and more as I visit friends. The older adults may still have a computer but the kids don't. You can watch them, they are glued to the phone all day. Mostly texting. None of them run websites like we did.

Thanks for the write-up. Are you able to post a photo or two?

Good news.

Scratch resistant? How about everyone seeing what you are doing on this one?

About $40 on Amazon. That seems to be a good price. Wish I could put one of those in my Del G7-17 7790 laptop.

Holy Molly..I thought allergy's could make you sick but not actually cause a death. You were lucky to escape that fate. Wonder why the Doctor couldn't diagnose the wheat issue?

I wondered when someone here would see that Urgent Care sign.

I did the last partial eclipse a year or so ago here in Oregon. I was at the 85% area and wanted to take a series of photos to show the difference between daylight and 85% eclipse. Let me tell you it was a complete bummer. There was no difference in light at all. It was cloudy and I expected it to at least get dim but there was no perceptible difference in lighting.

Tripped over a board in the yard last week. Hurt lower back. It's still bothering me today. Note to you younger ones...don't ever fall down when you get older. I 'm 87 and you all have seen those commercials that show a old person falling down and yelling.."I've fallen down and can't get up". Well I got up after the fall but the next day I was laid up and couldn't get out of bed for two days. Wife is doing the ranch duties.

Lenovo ThinkPad x220 wi-fi unlocked bios needed
TreeTopsRanch replied to Snowleopard's topic in Components & Upgrades
Could you post the link to the unlocked bios so that others may find it if they need it? -
Just had the auto restart after update issue on the wife's HP laptop. Just a spinning indicator all night long. I had to hold the start button down for 50 seconds before it would stop and computer turned off. Left it off for a minute and pressed the start button, got a message to not turn off while updating and after several minutes it did the update and restarted correctly. This is the 2nd time this has happened to the wife's computer when doing an update and auto restart.

Inflation here in Oregon.

And at 87, I'm getting tired of using the stairs from computer room to the kitchen microwave just to reheat my coffee. But until I get some input on a safe cup heater, I will just have to continue doing the stair thing.
