    Looking for USB switch (not full KVM)

    This is the exact wording/example that I wanted someone to say lol. I wanted to know if when using a keyboard that has 2 cables, plugged into the input on the switch - in turn will only require 1 out-put cable per PC and you have answered exactly that :)

    Looking for USB switch (not full KVM)

    I looked into these when I first started to work from home but I could never find one that fit my keyboard needs. I use a K70 so it has a USB passthrough on it and uses 2 USB power cables. All the switches I look at are usually a port 1 in - port 1 out and port 2 in - port 2 out etc. But I...

    how often do you charge your mobile devices?

    I only charge my phone and watch when I'm sitting beside it working and never leave anything charging over night. I usually charge them when they get to 10-15%. For my old work iPhone 5 I would charge it every 4 days and after 2 years I was still only charging it 2 times a week. For my Pixel 5...

    Rants etc.....

    Not a fan of key FOB's either. My wife has her FOB and key on the same chain and when she gets in and out of the vehicle the doors will automatically lock after she gets out - when I drive her car I only use a key(don't like extra keys banging around the dash) and when I get out the doors do not...

    Sorry Crazy; I did not quote you in my reply or respond to you directly - No need to take offense or think I am trying to "prove you wrong" If it came off that way - it was not the intent. I used suggestions and points discussed to formulate a general response using my past experience like...

    Rants etc.....

    Typically your deed will have all of this info as well it's just a matter of finding that starting point (Newer pins are above ground but older pins may be buried under ground but are still metal). Worst case contact your local municipality office and they can bring a metal detector and find...

    a stupid question...

    Cut out some pieces of Cardboard and tape them to each other in the orientation you want? Use a box or desktop speaker to tape them to and hold in place off to the side? Not ideal but better than nothing I guess and you can cut to actual size you are looking at getting so see how much desk/wall...

    Post Your Desk

    Well, I've been told I am taking up too much room upstairs in the kids playroom now that we have a 2nd child lol. Down into the basement I go now that I have my wifi adapter installed.

    Hot Deals!!!!!

    I use a dry paintbrush for dusting/cleaning pretty much all my electronics. Soft enough not to scratch anything but still coarse enough to get the dust that starts to harden. Works great for dusting your case fan grills and also mobo to get in-between the capacitors and stuff.

    baseboard heating ?????

    The last 2 houses we owned are almost complete opposites in that our old house was alot smaller, older, but re-done. The new house is large, newer, but not updated and still has woodframe windows. Based on these 2 experiences I found that the largest factors for heating cost are going to come...

    Rants etc.....

    Yes, logistics is the big strain right now right across the board between Gov restrictions on what goods are to take priority in shipping, drivers refusing to work, trucking companies not being able to get their equipment moved around and not wanting to send empty trucks and trailers down the road.

    COVID-19 work conditions

    IMO - They will likely be required to carry some sort of "note" or identification from their job to ensure that people aren't falsely claiming essential work and then border officials will probably have some sort of list to go off of for what is considered essential and what is not. I know...
