Nexus/Pixel all the way! Better processors (Better than the MTKs), and upgrades before anyone even knows what's happening (I had hit 7.0 while some of my peeps were still waiting for 5.x)

I think it's better to have your content locally stored and shared via wifi in your home.

Mine is actually the K3 released in February '16. I've done that already and tried sports devil. Kodi's drain on mb is mega and that's why syblatv is preferred. Btw, I would have loved it better if I could have plugged everything into it and use it as my hub. Instead, the TV remains the hub.

I also have the 2gb version and it needs a lot of tweaking to really enjoy. Playing games is hard cos it doesn't pair well with my moga Bluetooth gamepad. Also, kodi is not upgradeable and that is a bit annoying. I use es explorer to pull media off my WD my net central router. It also blinks at times. The simplest solution for streaming matches still is sybla TV although wss dey try.

PropertiesRe: In View Of The Rising Cost Cement!! by bigboa: 8:07pm On Sep 02, 2016
Hello. I would advise you don't skimp on getting "verified" cement. I say verified because you can trace the bagged cement through their despatch numbers and verify their quality parameters (early strength, later strength, C3S, freelime) in case of any issues during and after application. Getting from other sources is tricky because you can't verify the quality; and you may not see the effect until further down the line. I can tell because I work in a cement factory. Best advice: Take your time, do your project well. The good Lord will grant you long life and good health to enjoy the fruit of your labour.

Car TalkRe: Naija Kazeems Wahala by bigboa: 8:39am On Jun 18, 2016
I think there is an unfair bias towards the 'kazeems.' Whilst true that the majority of them learn via trial and error, this is usually with cars that are not common in this part of the world. They have a rigorous training system which also allows them to lean on their mentors experience. They also tend to hive together so that problems are solved in a group. Their problems usually occur when they go beyond their knowledge to troubleshoot systems they have no idea of. I had an experience whereby a simple but hidden leak in my car was causing overheating. The roadside guy struggled with it for 3 months and within that time caused a few hassles but was able to get the car working without spoiling the engine or blowing a gasket. In fact, after 'fixing' my car, he then went ahead to label himself an expert in that brand. I then took the car to the OEM (on Bank Anthony way) who did their OEM things (All changes were on spec) and my gaskets burned in a week. C'est la vie.

ComputersRe: NAS Devices by bigboa: 3:45pm On May 18, 2016
smiley. I feel you; it's a bit of a bummer getting a device that's supposed to be the ultimate and then finding out you still need another piece to complete the puzzle. I was similarly piqued. Since it is a Samsung, you could use the TV's all share app to search for the dlna server already loaded on the QNAP. My problem is that the technology is not properly standardized; law 7 of the 12 truths of networking applies- good, fast, cheap. Pick any 2, you can never have all 3.
ComputersRe: NAS Devices by bigboa: 8:44am On May 18, 2016
What kinda smart TV you got? I have an LG LN 3200 and after some updates was able to access my router/NAS. The last update broke it however causing the streams to fail after about 5mins. I'd advise getting a dedicated dlna server (a fairly cheap Android TV box should do it or you could install a upon app on your phone/old tablet) in between the TV and NAS. You could just search for dlna servers from the smart TV and should see the NAS (You'd need to have the dlna option turned on and the 2 devices on the same network)
ComputersRe: NAS Devices by bigboa: 1:37am On May 18, 2016
Hi. Please where did you get the QNAP & how much? I have a WD my net central n900 2tb. Your copy speed will only be as good as the media over which you are copying. Try using wired LAN and remove the throughput settings of your LAN card from auto-negotiate to the highest value. If you're considering getting a router, don't compromise on wireless ac (as in ignore n). For access using Android devices, install ES Explorer or X-plore. Their LAN access are very good.
ComputersRe: How Can I Best Control My Office Internet Usage? by bigboa: 1:22am On May 18, 2016
You can do this with ANY router: log on to your admin plane and check for the rules creation tab. You can then block certain traffic at certain times. Also best you create a written policy to guide this so as not to become public enemy no.1. Last but not least, remember to remove the MD's ip address from this policy or there might not be a job to go back to...

ComputersRe: Is Shutting Down Via The Computer's Power Button Really Safe? by bigboa: 12:48pm On Mar 31, 2016
Holding down the power off button cuts off power to PC internals like yanking off the power cable. Only problem is if you do this when your HDD is working (IE read/write going on) then you could get corrupted sectors on the HDD else there shouldn't be any issue if you've already stopped all major running processes. PCs today use power intelligently and as such HDD head parking and other power save modes mean you can power down in an instant. This does not mean that this is always the way to go though; Windows might have some updates pending which it configures during shutdown and powering off like that could be tricky.

Also, if you hibernate often, then you must defrag often as hibernating fragments your HDD seriously although you only tend to notice the effects when your HDD fills up. My personal advice is to shutdown normally at least once in 2 weeks.

ComputersRe: Networking Challenges & Troubleshooting by bigboa: 5:07am On Aug 14, 2014
@Oxone: If your challenge is basically to stream one source to multiple monitors, that's super simple. XBMC or PMS on a server and a smart tv (or regular tv with an android tv stick) solves the problem. I have an lg ln570 smart tv and I stream media to it and all the other devices at home from my wd my net central router/hdd combo effortlessly. Another route is the one taken by the "IT guys" at my office: get extra hdmi cards and looooooong hdmi cables (theoretically, they don't attenuate, but...). The last meansI can think of is to go old skool and stick a tv card and tv sender on the server then just get small antennas for the tvs. Hope this helps...
