Ok we all see guys with signs asking for money.
Ran across this pic and think I'd have to give him some......

The demonic keyboard appears to have become unpossessed overnight. Drat. Now I have to start using it again.
Once you find out that they run at the sight of a shoe, all is well!
Talking to a pest control guy one time and he told me about a building they fumigated for roaches. They started at the top and by the time they got to the ground floor apartments, the roaches poured out of the wall sockets like water after they took the covers off...
This sounds good, but our wives could probably detect it with their keen hearing. Still, it might be good to leave turned on when you are away from home.

I own several Pico 30w, 40w, and 75W. Recently, I bought another 75W at a good price, but it has a slight protrusion in the wattage adjust rocker switch on the bottom that makes it not sit completely flat on a table. As soon as I find a tiny Torx bit I'm going in to see if i can adjust the protrusion on the rocker switch. I have a large set of assorted hex and Torx bits, but none are tiny enough to fit the Torx screws that secure the bottom cover. The switch makes it rock slightly when you set it down on a table.
@Zazie, if you've got your keyboards manual at one side you could look up how to pair it with the USB receiver.
Unfortunately can't find the manual on the manufacturers website.

Morning all.
@Zazie – reading through your comments on your possessed keyboard, it definitely sounds like a hardware problem. This could mean the keyboard is on its last legs to which it will need to be replaced.
However, since the problem seems to be sporadic it could also be interference with the wireless transmission. The keyboard operates in the 2.4GHz band, this frequency is extremely popular with wireless devices, even non wireless (older microwaves can emit noise at this frequency). Don’t know how densely populated your neck of the woods is, here in Toronto, or at least where I live, 2.4GHz band is so saturated it is near useless to which I am pretty much forced to use a wired connection for any legacy hardware that operates at this frequency. Now trying to figure out if your problems are related to interference could be a frustrating ordeal, but try using your computer/keyboard elsewhere in your home to see if the problem persists. If your problem is wireless interference, replacing it with the same keyboard may not be a solution.
@pericat – Mechanical drives making odd noises is a sure sign imminent failure. Bearings for both the disc and actuator start to wear to the point where they can become seized. There is no telling how long you have left before the drive completely dies, could be years or it could be minutes! But if you have important data on this drive, I would look into backing it up.

My desktop has made weird clunking and whirring sounds since we got it. And I have a back up, but it’s old and nearly full. What can you recommend that’s easy to use and good for more than one pc?
Are you looking for a new external hard drive or a new computer?
The Velocity adds a little more airflow restriction, but is a bit of a PiTA to wick after using postless decks. I run both my SV2s with Velocity (need to order a pair of postless for them) and one of my Plus' with Velocity.Yes I do know that and considered it. But I am not so sure I just don't hate these Aromamizers and need to just buy the whole thing just in case the others are just bad. Crazy I know.
Do you think there is much difference in the velocity deck and the post-less?
I run the Titan with the Velocity inserts specifically to cut down on the airflow, it's a seriously airy RTA with a huge chamber.
The stalking begins...

Hard drive
Yes. It is very sad. I was fond of that drive; it is such a pretty enclosure. It has, atm, no data on it what so ever. I am still messing with it mainly For Science.
Belated good morning all
Rain has finally passed and should be a pretty day in another hour or so.

Gotcha!
If looking for a stationary storage solution, I would choose a NAS (Network Attached Storage). This will be a very small computer that houses 1 or more drives (depending on design) that attaches to your router. You will be able to access the files and back up to it from any device that connects to your network, either wired or wireless. The Western Digital My Cloud has many different models to choose from and is reasonably priced (depending on capacity and features).
If looking for something that is portable, that you can plug into a computer via USB, SSD drives do not require an external power supply and they are not as prone to drop damage. They are however more expensive and are of lower capacity. Samsung is one of the better SSD brands
If you need large capacity then a mechanical hard drive may be your only solution. In the consumer market there are only 2 mechanical hard drive manufacturers, Western Digital and Seagate. There are many other brands, but they all fall under one of the 2. I have always used Western Digital drives and have never experienced problems – so this would be a bit biased but I would recommend Western Digital. Many different models and storage capacities to choose from at various price points.
How much storage are you looking for?
