I want to have several months to get everything settled in place before Crashplan shuts down in October. I have 2 computers to backup. Is anyone using the groups option with Backblaze? I want combined billing for 2 computers. I can’t tell if it’s better to just login with my account on my wife’s computer or set up her own account and use the groups. ——————————————————————————— Mike – what were the results of the poll you put out in the FB group? ——————————————————————————– Randy Cantrell 6 hrs What do the average guys and gals think about the ideal way to convert a non-smart TV into a smart TV (for streaming Netflix mostly)? Roku Ultra has been suggested, but I’d like to know what the brainiacs around here think. Gracias! News Jim – What am I watching on Youtube? Lots of coverage of Hawaii and the disaster that is happening there. Reviews Jim’s new D-Link DCS-936L – Set up was super easy. Mounts just about anywhere (power cord is a little short). Wifi connect via phone. You HAVE to really have an SD card for it to be productive. Still trying to get the videos to play off my phone. D-Link app is pretty basic. – ECHOGEAR On-Wall Surge Protector With 6 Pivoting AC Outlets & 1080 Joules of Surge Protection – Low Profile Design Installs Over Existing Outlets To Protect Your Gear & Increase Outlet Capacity – RENPHO Bluetooth Scale – $29 ;th=1 Get the Home Gadget Geeks Mobile Apps at is powered by Maplegrove Partners web hosting.
