    Reviving a dead Samsung 840 Pro

    Have an 840 Pro 256 GB with a lot of data on it that I would hate to lose. The drive failed randomly on me Wednesday, and guess who doesn't have backups? Yeap, I am competing for dumbfuck of the year award. The most frustrating thing to me is that this isn't the first time I've been bitten by...

    FS: Moving/midlife crisis/I-have-way-too-much-crap sale. Phones, tablets, hardware

    At the tender old age of 28, I have come to the realization that I have too much crap. Crap that's perfectly good, I just don't use it and for whatever reason I bought it, maybe used it a bit, then just never bothered to get rid of it. Now is the time to get rid of it. I need to move to a new...

    First SSD doesn't seem that fast?

    The biggest thing I notice about my SSD is not particularly how fast boot up or shutdown is, but rather, how snappy the system is. programs open almost immediately after the click and there's no blue circling/beach balling while it hunts around to load up its data. Anything on my computer...

    2010 iMac 27, now maxed out. wat do?

    Yeah, that thought crossed my mind. I don't particularly need three fast machines, just one, though I was debating on whether to spend the money fixing the Mac or giving my PC a much needed overhaul (what the hell am I doing cramming a 7970 in there when I have an ancient X6 and don't have a big...

    Thinking of making the big switch (PC-->Mac), have some unanswered questions

    A few of the things I'll mention here have already been said many times over, but sometimes that is also helpful. To answer your questions: 1. As the hardware and software are either designed or carefully selected & supported by the same company, there tends to be fewer random oddities...

    2010 iMac 27, now maxed out. wat do?

    So, I have a 2010 27" I bought for $1504.14 from the refurb store in late 2011. I specifically picked this one because it's the last one that came with DisplayPort input. I went ahead and got the $179.14 Applecare warranty too, since I tend to have a good experience with it. (they swapped the...

    Should I upgrade my Imac RAM?

    Yes, it's 204 pin SO-DIMM, unbuffered, non-parity. Pretty standard stuff. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4255 Apple says you can do up to 4gb per stick, but secretly, the iMac will take all the way up to 8gb per stick. You don't need to worry about latency and timing, really. The difference...

    2012 iMac owners?

    You can have my miniDP target display mode when you pry it out of my cold dead fingers. Not getting any iMac beyond the 2010 model til they bring that back. :p

    4g lcd in 2g?

    No, the connectors are different. Plus, in the case of the 4th gen LCD, the 2nd gen's GPU is insufficient to support the resolution. You would need to buy an identical part What's going wrong with it? I've managed to replace the LCD and digitizer in a 2nd gen touch. It isn't easy to do...

    Should I upgrade my Imac RAM?

    I went balls out and crammed all 32 gb in mine. 4x8gb DDR3 SO-DIMMs was on sale for less than $150 a while back, couldn't resist the temptation. I no longer have to worry about multitasking. The only time I beachball is when the application itself quits responding (looking at you, Firefox), not...

    How come certain cables don't work to charge my iPad

    You can never tell for sure with those cheap knockoff cables. Some are OK, some are not. The iPad charger drives the D+/D- lines to a specific value. If those cables only pass USB 5v and ground, or the resistance on the data lines is off by enough, then the iPad will not see the specific...
