• Ask HN: Do you still use DVD?

  I still put DVD and/or Blu-ray drives in all PCs I personally build for myself and my family. This is due to the fact that we transferred dozens of old captured 16 mm and 8 mm film reels, scanned photo prints, negatives and slides as well as Video8, Hi8, Digital8 and VHS videocassettes to M-DISC DVD and some to Blu-ray. While I uploaded most of this content to Flickr and Google Photos while they were offering... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• My computer reset my user profile name and password. Now I can’t login. What do I do?

• What to do with obsolete iMacs and MacBooks

  As a retro tech enthusiast I beg of you not to trash them. Put them on facebook marketplace, craigslist, ebay, whatever.

• Extend c: drive partition in windows 10

  In order to extend a partition, the unallocated space must immediately follow the partition. If there's something between the partition and the unallocated space, then you'll need to use a more sophisticated partition manager to rearrange things. GParted can do this, for example. I think Macrium Reflect can do this, too, though I usually use it for cloning. Source: about 1 year ago
