I just noticed this thread. Wow. There is a lot that I wouldn't read, but there is some good stuff on that list. I recommend anything by John Varley or Greg Bear (except "Blood Music". It is damn creepy.)

Thank you everyone. I shall pass this along. I have a friend looking for the same thing and I'll let him know as well. I am sure his IT department will be happy with the results. Mine too. Thanks all. :-)

Hello everyone, I am looking for a medium budget mini-PC. It must have the following specs: Intel/AMD - I don't care Must have 8 cores and 16 threads Must be DC powered (like 12 Volts) Memory and SSD capacity doesn't matter as long as we have options I've been looking at the NUC, but they...

I have never killed anyone serious in my life. I roughed up a few clowns once, but that was just for fun. :p

I did try that. The option is greyed out. @pseymour I modified the PS command and it worked. The device now wakes the computer. Now I just have to write the code to capture the button press. Thank you so much!

It's attached via a USB port. I am not using the serial port function on this IC. It is enumerating as a HID device. @pseymour I will give that a try and report back.

Yeahh. Red power!

Okay, stupid question time: I'll preface by saying that I am not that well versed in Powershell. I have a device, an integrated circuit, which presents itself as a HID device. It is configured to wake the computer when a button is pressed. In Windows, I have tried to set the power...

I am fortunate enough to have a keyboard with assignable macro keys (Logitech G815) so I made a "kill switch" and it works great. I couldn't do the same on my laptop, though. I just remapped the F12 key with Powertoys and it works. F12 wasn't that important.

I do it by using the "Desktops" feature. I know it isn't the same as two monitors, but it's easier for me.

My friend is starting a new career as a portrait photographer. I sat for a few test shots for him. Here's one:

I suspect that the CPU power connection is not hooked up or is malfunctioning. That connector is very hard to seat properly. Make sure that it is fitting in the connector well.

I have had a number of drives, both Seagate and WD that have had poor solder connections on the controller. Heating the pins with a soldering iron makes the solder reflow and re-make the connection. It isn't hard to do. I have rescued 7 drives this way. I don't trust them anymore, but it is...

I can't speak for ASUS, but for my Gigabyte board it was easy-peasy. Maybe you're right about the publishing.

It's great that you were able to solve the problem, though I am surprised that you had to jump through that many hoops. My devices were fine just installing the drivers from Gigabyte and Intel. No muss, no fuss. Maybe it's an ASUS thing, but you should have been able to just D/L the drivers...
