'Out Of Gas'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I've been wanting something like that for a while. And yes, I feel like, what happened to playing computer games by myself, and writing down stuff for my eyes only, and you know, just existing on my own? App developers not making bank on that, apparently.
But yes, I log on here before I'm fully awake, so I suppose I'm not being my own data point too well.
So my NAS supports mini DLNA, not DLNA proper. Among the file extensions he gives me, .AVI is not included. Grr. All my other devices (Apple excepted) love .AVI. My torrent source gives me a choice between .AVI and .MKV for every file only, and the Tab doesn't like the .MKV, although it pretends to.
Apparently we're a firmware update away from full DLNA support. I'm pissed, and I swear I never saw the modifier "mini" on the box, but that's likely because I didn't even know there was a mini.
Grr.
I have a puzzlement. I have a 4gig USB drive that I'm putting 350+ mb video files on to move from my XP machine to my Win 7 64-bit machine. It's not a USB 2 drive. However, the files transfer from my XP machine to the drive nearly 3x as fast as they do from the drive to the Win7 machine. Is the drive on the Win7 machine being snobbish and not wanting to associate with such a plebeian device? Is there a setting I can set?
Just a guess, but it could be that the XP machine has a USB driver specific to the USB controller while the Win7 machine has a Microsoft driver. Installing the chipset drivers might help there. It could also be that the USB controller on the XP machine is just better.
that really bums me out. eeeeeeeeeverything is there. i know something else will pop up in its place, but damn. that's a lot of dead links.
I am annoyed. I used that regularly for a perfectly legitimate purpose -- To transfer a weekly radio show from the UK to the US (600MB).
Yeah. More than Megaupload being tits-up, I'm worried about "substantial non-infringing use" being shot all to hell as a principle.
I have to admit, I've rarely used MU for anything legal, but that's entirely not the point.
However, comments on the post list a number of alternatives. Get 'em while they're hot!
Yeah, not happy about that at all.
