Certain keys on Logitech K480 Bluetooth keyboard not working fix!
I had some expiring Dell reward points and spent in on a Logitech K480 Multi-device Bluetooth keyboard. What’s unique about this keyboard is that you can switch it between up to three devices using a little knob. This means I can use one keyboard with my Windows PC, my iPhone and an iPad.
Never warmed up to the Surface Pro 3. Going back to a laptop: the Dell XPS 13
When the Surface Pro 3 came out, I was all over it. A tablet with the power of a full-blown PC, a super-high res screen and a nice stylus. As much as I thought that I wanted (needed?)–a tablet with the abilities of a PC–, what I eventually realized is I really wanted a PC …
Access shared folders on Synology NAS from Windows 10
I just upgraded from a Surface Pro 3 to a Dell XPS 13 laptop, but found that the XPS13 could not access any shared folders on my Synology DS212j NAS even though I had no problems doing the same thing on my Surface Pro 3–both PCs are running the latest version of Windows 10. Based …
Finally decided the Nikon D500 was the right move
In my May 7, 2016 post, “Nikon D7200/D750 owner can’t click the buy D500 button…so far,” I laid out the reasons for my hesitation in upgrading my D7200 to the new D500. Basically, I felt that my D7200 was “good enough” and I used my D750 most of the time anyways. Well, Nikon finally put …
ASUS RT-AC88U Router fixes Slingbox connection issues and unexpectedly unlocks Internet speed!
I finally got fed up tolerating my frequent connection issues with my Slingbox M1. (Note this is using a LAN and not even going through the internet.) The most likely suspect was my cheap-ass router, flashed with DD-WRT, so I decided to roll the dice and pony-up for a high-end gaming router. I figured this …
DDoS attack comes at the hands of internet-connected cameras and DVRs
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. DVRs and cameras have got to be some of the most insecure internet devices on the planet. Definitely interesting. Record-breaking DDoS reportedly delivered by >145k hacked cameras Once unthinkable, 1 terabit attacks may soon be the new normal.
Cut and paste songs on Spotify playlist to very top without dragging!
For many of my playlists, I prefer to have the latest additions at the top and not the bottom, but this isn’t the way Spotify works. Of course, you can drag songs to the top with your mouse, but this is kludgy with long playlists. The better way is to use good old fashion cut and paste, but …
Amiga continues to make subtle showings on Halt and Catch Fire
Back in the day, I was a total Amiga fanboy. The show Halt and Catch Fire–which is a must-watch btw–continues to tip it’s hat to the beloved computer that just never quite fulfilled it’s full potential. Often, the name Amiga is thrown into some off-handed remarks, but in season 3 episode 9, they went a …
Useless message on NBA iOS app
Yesterday, the iOS NBA app wasn’t loading and this useless message appeared. Geez…someone had to actually write the code for that. Amazing.
