I recently gave a tour of my home network. I walked around my home and showed all of the different electronic components of my home. This included the firewalls, routers, switches, cameras, and all of the devices that get interacted with. One thing that blew up in the comments over and over was comments to […]
A few episodes back on The 8-Bit guy, David restored a vintage Commodore PET Model 4016. However, he left one thing incomplete. The space bar didn’t work. Since it wound up in my museum, repairing the Commodore PET has been high on my list of things to do. It’s incredibly hard to use the thing […]
When most miners think of mining, they tend to have visions of stacks of graphics cards (GPU) all lined up mining their favorite crypto-coins. It’s true, a GPUs are great at mining and you can mine lots of different coins with GPUs. But lots of new miners ask a question no one else ever dreams […]
Mining. You’re probably sick of hearing about it! But its in the news. Its on TV shows. Its all over blogs. Well, not mining specifically, but cryptocurrency. Specifically a certain type of cryptocurrency called Bitcoin. To mine bitcoins you need an ASIC powered miner. But for many other cryptocurrencies like Ethererum can be mined with GPU […]

With Windows 10 auto-login you can bypass the login screen completely and go straight to your desktop. Windows 10 auto-login is a fantastic feature if you don’t want to remember a […]
I recently published several videos and articles on building and optimizing mining rigs. In both builds I used Windows. Mostly because I had never done some of these things and I knew it would be much simpler to experiment with things in Windows. I mean after all, the manufacturers of the video cards are targeting […]
When I was younger I used my father’s jigsaw a lot. I remember it well. It was Black & Decker model from the late 1970s or early 1980s and it was total junk. I remembered thinking the jigsaw was one of the worst performing tool ever made. What I didn’t realize is that jigsaws are […]
If you recently got into GPU mining Ethereum or some other cryptocurrency, then you probably wondered why all these hardcore miners were using riser cards! The answer of course is three fold. They need to 1) fit more GPUs on a single motherboard, 2) get them further apart for cooling, and 3) convert 16X cards […]
Mining is literally going insane! People are snapping up both GPUs for mining as well as ASIC miners faster than manufacturers can make them. This has led to explosive growth in those markets. It’s also let to a whole art and science behind overclocking these systems to make them perform better. So in this post […]
