So I have a 2TB hard drive in my desktop at the moment that has permissions issues. A while ago I had a hardware issue with my computer where my SSD did not play nice with my Z77 motherboard at the time (kind of a long story, sometimes my SSD wouldn't show up in the BIOS, and BIOS updates never...

So I recently had to do a reformat and reinstall of Windows 8 on my homebuilt PC, due to a driver/corrupt system file issue that a system restore couldn't fix. Back in the previous installation I had installed it without any issues and I was able to run software compiled under .NET 3.5 fine. Now...

Well, about two years ago, I actually found out about DD-WRT. I went to see if my router was supported, and it apparently isn't. I just checked the compatibility list again, and it is still disappointingly small (only around 30). I'm not sure if I should risk flashing the firmware on an...

So I changed the security key, then the desktop was able to connect. I ended up changing it back to the original since I don't want to go through the hassle of updating the key on 20 or so devices. Even after I changed it back the connection was still working, which was great. I also had to...

Recently I built a new gaming rig, and decided to give it wireless connectivity so I can have the computer sitting on a cooler area of my house. Now, I found I get lucky if I can even get a wireless connection on it, because I often have a lot of trouble getting the wireless to connect, usually...
