Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."
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 feel silly asking this...
I fibally got a headset for my Xbox 360. Partly so I can chat with my bf whole we play but also so the sound doesn't bother anyone else.
However I can't get the game sounds through the headset. It's a turtle beach haired headset and I have tried every configuration shown and still nothing.
The tv has RCA and optical audio .
I have googled and looked at videos on YouTube and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I wish I could help, but I don't know anything about the XBox 360.
I decided that I'm going to hold off on a computer upgrade. Intel will be releasing their new processors August 21st so there will be more options and probably re-adjusted prices pretty soon.
My home wifi is still acting weird with my laptop. I've realized that, when it disconnects, it takes a while to completely disconnect -- if I've got Twitter open, then sometimes new tweets will keep on loading for a few minutes (but without pictures) while other windows say that there's no connection. Sometimes I still get Facebook notifications, too. And if I wait for a page to totally not load, and then click the "Run Network Diagnostics" button, then that usually fixes it. Any ideas how to stop this from happening in the first place?
Hil, Does it only happen at home, or elsewhere, too?

A friend of mine just bought a Dell Inspiron 15 5577. It has an SSD, and a 1TB Hard drive. The old laptop had just been upgraded to a 2TB HDD, and we'd like to pull the data from the 2TB HDD, then clone the new one to the 1TB, and put the 2TB HDD in its place.
The only thing new to me in this situation is the SSD as a boot/OS drive. Are there any special considerations?
Assuming, of course, the 2TB is a compatible (7mm) size to fit in the new laptop.

It happened a couple times when I was at our vacation house, but I'm not sure if it was the same issue or just that the wifi there wasn't great. It hasn't happened when I've used this laptop on campus, but I don't use it on campus often, so I'm not positive that it would never happen there.
When it happens, and I pull up the "Network Diagnostics" (it's a Mac), there are green lights for Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Settings, Network Settings, ISP, and Server, and a red light for Internet. Then when I run diagnostics, everything except Wi-Fi goes red for a couple seconds, then back to green, and then it works.
And sometimes (but not always), after I run Diagnostics, a "Network Change Detected" window pops up.
I stupidly moved timemachine back-up folders to the trash thinking I could delete them that way, but no, you cannot. I cannot put them back into the back-ups folder and delete them via time machine. I have tried taking one out of trash to my desktop and deleting via terminal using
sudo tmutil delete
which I found on a help forum somewhere, but I get the message "Unrecognized verb"

I may be coming in too late. I don't understand quite what is going on. Is the goal that the new laptop will have the SSD and 2TB HDD while the old laptop will have the 1TB HDD?
