Comment All versions of flash uninstalled... what then? (Score 1) 102

Stating the obvious here, but if I uninstalled all versions/instances of Flash from my Win 7 x64 system I should be pretty safe from at least this one, or should I? Note at the bottom: Now the only flash player that I have right now is the pepper flash version installed by/with Chrome. Oh, and just in case, this is my workstation - hence running Windows... mandated by company. I have couple of VMs to work in Linux/FreeBSD etc. but the main business desktop needs to be Windows.

Comment The latest version as well? (Score 2) 59

According to the original source (https://www.htbridge.com/advisory/HTB23282) the security issue affects versions 1.5.3 "and probably prior" (you gotta love the wording). When I looked at the Zen Cart site today v1.5.4 has been out for almost a year. Now someone else please take it from here...

It's broken already; you're technically savvy; you should know what to do. I wouldn't put 120 AC on the DC modem/router power in plug, but you know where I'm going; just end its suffering; it's already dying. Maybe a bad firmware flash, or whatever... figure it out, so there is no fireworks involved. Then get it replaced. Repeat if required. It may be a rather nefarious way of getting things done, but... the end in this case justifies the means. You'll be a happy camper, the ISP will get to keep their customer. Why in the first place you wouldn't have your own modem? DSL modems go for $30 - $40 recently. I've seen cable ones dropping in price too. Buy your own separate router when you're at it. Unless you're company does not allow external modems.

Does anyone actually buy them? I think a smart watch is redundant, until it entirely be able to replace a cell phone. To better understand the market I did some quick research - http://www.smartwatchgroup.com... So they sold 6.8 millions of these gadgets in 2014 in US. I'm not impressed with these numbers. The only actual usage so far is: - fitness crowd - cool people that buy anything new that comes out for bragging rights - gifts for people who already have everything else

Comment IDE/SATA-to-USB converter (Score 1) 466

Yep.. once again, IDE-to-USB adapter: https://www.google.ca/?#q=ide+... Just check the images on Google to see if there is a connector that matches the connector on the back of the hard drive. I remember that in some older laptops they have used the plug-in converters which may look like a part of the disk, but you can actually pull them off to get to the actual IDE connector. BTW: Order the universal(IDE/SATA)-to-USB converter so you can use it for other purposes in the future. Good luck!

Come on guys and gals! We're mostly technically capable here. Get your components (i.e. Case, PS, Motherboard, CPU, RAM, Video Card, Sound Card, Hard drive or two, Optical drive or two). Put them together. You're off to the races. Nobody will push OEM OS on you. You can install anything you want on this custom made rig. Takes 45 minutes (on average) for skilled person to put it together.
