Recently I did a quick video on my mining rig build. It turned out to be a very popular video. Something I didn’t really expect to happen. The comments section raged on over my choice of GPU. Some people immediately understood while others thought it was a terrible choice. Of course, as with most YouTube […]

In fact, the Arduino Uno is available with a socketed chip that can be removed. Some tinkers will use the platform to program the chip, and then remove it from […]
I’ve been planning to build a new gaming pc build for quite some time. Unfortunately so many other things just seem to get in the way. Well now that time is finally here, and I went all out on this bad boy including a GTX 1080ti STRIX and the Enthoo Evolv tempered glass case! All […]
Since my home network tour a lot (and I do mean a lot) of you have asked for more details on certain parts of my home network. The most asked question is of course why I chose a Core i7 over a XEON. Followed right behind that was to ask why I chose the Synology […]
I recently purchased an SD2IEC from from The Future was 8-bit. While the device is awesome, I felt the documentation was less than stellar. And that led me to put together this resource to help others who are first experimenting running SD Cards on the Commodore series of computers. I consider it the unofficial SD2IEC […]
