Uhh... didn't we already have such printers called 'enterprise' (or equivalent word) solutions? I distinctly remember buying a $12K laser printer for the department I worked at. Its toner cartridges were cheaper than those of a $100 model, and lasted 8 times longer.-eleman (August 05, 2015, 02:29 AM)
Epson’s advantage is its permanent mechanical print heads, as opposed to the disposable thermal ones used by its chief competitors. Because Epson’s print heads are always connected to the printer, ink can be piped to them from anywhere—a cartridge or a tank on the side of the printer. More important, because they’re mechanical and not thermal, they can operate for years without requiring replacement and are less likely to clog.
the print output looked almost exactly like what came out of the nearest comparative model, Epson’s XP-420. There’s a slight difference in the ink—the XP-420 uses a pigment-based ink, which means it is waterproof when it dries, while most of the EcoTank printers use dye ink, which makes for nice photos, but may run if wet.
ooo....my little black book of dc. that's where i curse everyone here out in private, just to get it out of my system.-superboyac (August 04, 2015, 12:06 AM)
Well, tbh, when it comes to this...As far as I am aware, they don't e-mail you shit to click to download - They just download it to your PC if you pre-ordered via the annoying popup, then it will give you an annoying popup to tell you it's done doing whatever it did.
It does specifically say, in that stupid popup, that when it is ready, that window will let you know - absolutely nothing about "We will e-mail you"-Stephen66515 (August 03, 2015, 02:35 PM)
Oh, bloody hell....and if you think that there is a setting somewhere within Windows where someone could toggle between private and public networks then you can go take a seat on the left side of the room with all the sane people. Unfortunately, all of the Microsoft employees will be sitting on the other side of the room because no such function exists.
got a blue screen "SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION (NETIO.SYS)" error. It's only happened once and I haven't been able to reproduce it, but I'm very wary. Internet searches will tell you it could be anything from your motherboard to your hard drive or even your NIC...there may even be evidence it's because you weren't loved enough as a child.but thanks for the laughs
Thanks again, tomos, THAT worked! Course I still have to download and install drivers but there's a fresh copy of Win 7 Ultimate on the little box-kyrathaba (August 01, 2015, 06:33 PM)
Hard-core tools, software that does not use the installed Windows, doesn't care. This type of software is probably not for the faint of heart...but imho is usually less messy that the kind that uses Windows.-Shades (August 01, 2015, 02:06 PM)
When you create an image, the whole concept is to take everything. If you don't want that, you are making a plain file backup.-Shades (August 01, 2015, 08:29 AM)
Depending on the format used for the generated image file, there might be software that allows you to peek inside those files, allowing you to read and copy stuff from that image file.Yeah,-Shades (August 01, 2015, 08:29 AM)

There seems to be several tutorials on uninstalling games in Windows 8. Have you tried any of them?-skwire (July 31, 2015, 08:57 AM)
I installed some games under the tablet mode in win8
I now want to uninstall them, but I can't find them in Add/Remove Programs!!!-kalos (July 31, 2015, 05:44 AM)
Next will be my 24/7 TV recorder/downloader/fax computer, also x86, where they're still "validating" the upgrade. If that goes OK, I might bite the bullet and do the wife's machine
I think I'll write my will while I still have arms and legs.-4wd (July 30, 2015, 02:19 AM)
Lifehacker ... have this video embedded
Video podcast - exercises for tendonitis and carpal tunnel which they better describe as "Use exercises to ward off RSI" - they're very good exercises if you spend a lot of time at the keyboard and/or using the mouse -
it feels really good to stretch those tendons-tomos (November 23, 2009, 07:58 AM)
Anybody else notice that thread it 3 years old?-Stephen66515 (July 30, 2015, 04:28 PM)
Also, the developer is arrogant, banning hard-working contributors from his board because their political beliefs are incompatible with his ones.-Tuxman (July 30, 2015, 04:15 AM)
The first serious problem was that Windows wouldn't accept my bi-language Win 7 installation, so to speak. First it was English, then I installed a Danish version on top. It used to work fine, but Win 10 said that now I had chosen (rubbish; I was never given any choice!) to install a Danish Win 10 version and I would therefore loose all my third party programs. ALL of them!!!-Curt (July 29, 2015, 01:39 PM)
I don't think it's weird they began upgrading several hours before midnight; they are serving quite a lot of machines.-Curt (July 28, 2015, 03:49 PM)
Okay, so you are in a part of the world where it's tomorrow already then ... Yes?
How many hours before midnight are we talking here???-Stoic Joker (July 28, 2015, 04:39 PM)
