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 like the pin and reminder function, and now it's on my tablet on my fanfic account and my "official" account. I'm interested to see how a few weeks floats. But I do have to turn off the notification noises.
I feel like I'm not playing right because I don't have audio notifications for my email. Text me first!
Okay, I want to share photographs. A lot of them. Attaching in an email is not feasible. Is there a site or something that I can upload and link to, and the recipient can download them easily and without cost or loss of integrity? And without cost to me for uploading?
Do you have a dropbox account? Sharing whole folders of things is easy peasy with dropbox.
I'll create one, and hope like heck the recipient has one as well, or is willing to create one too.
Wait, hmmm, free trial needing CC deets. I'll wait until tomorrow, since I know a colleague is using it for work purposes.
Flickr offers 1 TB of free storage.
They actually don't need one - you can share a link that they can access and they can download individual files or the whole folder as a zip file - and Dropbox is free up to 2 GB. I just signed up with a test account to make sure, and as long as you choose the Free plan they don't ask for anything. By default it will install their program (which gives you a folder on your computer you can easily add things to to sync) but you can just not install it and upload manually through the website if you prefer.
Dropbox is definitely the easiest to use file backup and storage utility out there, though significantly more expensive per GB than its competitors. Worth having an account for little things though.
Dropbox has proved very handy to me, Flickr if I don't mind random people favouriting my father in the seventies.
Which I don't! I've even had Ellis Island records with family members favourited by people I don't know.
Ack! I need to replace one of the Asus RT N13U routers at home--well, one of them. I'd rather just get the same one and redo the setup, but I have no *time* to shop.
I'm gonna hit up Best Buy, but if it's not there, what's the simplest replacement? I had dd-wrted it, which could make it easier or harder. But it's a pretty simple setup (uses. I just did that for familiarity.
It functions as a repeater sitting between the modem/router and a further out router/repeater.
Honestly, I would think "whatever is cheapest" would probably work just fine for that need. Surely "set to repeater mode" is a pretty basic task for any router interface.
There's a reason I couldn't do it with the N13U out of the box, but I don't remember it.
I'll take your advice.
