Unboxing the Unitek IDE / SATA to USB 3.0 Drive Adapter

Unboxing the Unitek IDE / SATA to USB 3.0 Drive Adapter

Posted on March 30, 2019April 6, 2019Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Hardware, Reviews

I hoped it would be a simple fix when the customer asked me to look at her Windows 7 machine this week. I don’t really do PC repair anymore but I have one or two old customers I’ll help out when needed. I figured it was just some Windows settings that needed adjustment but after…

Unboxing the ASUS Chromebook

Unboxing the ASUS Chromebook

Posted on March 27, 2019April 6, 2019Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Hardware, Personal Tech, Reviews2 Replies

This past weekend, I finally decided to spring for a Chromebook. I’ve been thinking more and more about a Windows replacement machine, at least for basic tasks. I also wanted an inexpensive solution that would extend the life of my current laptop. I often don’t need the full machine out on the road and the…

Problem After installing updates in Windows 7, I found that my primary display flashed on and off rapidly and I was unable to activate any menus on the screen. My extended display, powered by a StarTech USB to VGA Adapter, remained off even though the drivers were properly installed and everything had been working prior…

My First 24 Hours With Alexa

Posted on November 23, 2016December 14, 2016Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Hardware, Personal Tech2 Replies

I couldn’t resist any longer and decided to welcome Amazon’s Alexa into my home. I was a little hesitant at first about letting Amazon put a microphone in my house but my curiosity won out. I live alone anyway and the device can always be unplugged if necessary. At worst, it might get me to stop talking to…

A Quick Guide To Keeping Your Flash Drive Data Safe

Posted on August 12, 2016August 12, 2016Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Hardware, Personal Tech

When I started using computers about 30 years ago, the floppy disk was the standard of personal data storage. I actually started out using the 5.25″ disk so the 3.5″ disk with it’s hard case and a little bit more space was a welcome improvement at the time. We’ve come a long way in the…

A Couple of Notes on Cloud Computing

Posted on May 11, 2016May 12, 2016Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Hardware, Internet, Resources

Years ago, when I was making do with the limited computer equipment that I could afford, I never dreamed that I would one day be able to login to a website, plug in a few specs about the machine I wanted and then, a few minutes later, log into that machine remotely and run whatever…

On the Importance of Backups and Storage Decisions

Posted on April 3, 2015April 3, 2015Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Hardware, How-to, Software

I admit it’s a little bit of a geek thing but I’m in the habit of wiping and reloading my computer systems at least once a year to keep everything working right. I find that, even as careful as I am about what I install, I still work with some major software and Windows systems…

Replacing Your Wireless Mouse / Keyboard Receiver

Posted on January 26, 2015April 1, 2022Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Hardware

Wireless mice and keyboards are a great way to reduce the tangle of wires on your desktop but what do you do when that tiny USB receiver, the one about the size of your fingernail, goes missing? That’s what I asked myself the other day when I lost the receiver (also called a ‘dongle’) for…

HDMI to VGA: Using your VGA monitor on your HDMI laptop

Posted on October 21, 2014April 1, 2022Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Hardware, How-to, Reviews

Looks like the trusty old VGA interface is on its way out and while you’ll still see legacy systems and devices using this 25 year old standard for monitor connections, the newer laptops and computers are starting to pass on VGA connectors in favor of HDMI which, among its other benefits, allows for thinner devices. When I bought…
