    NAS options

    in Computer Discussions

    Posted

    I've noticed recently that my current storage has nearly reached it's max. Instead of cramming more drives into my one tower, I figure it's time to jump on the NAS bandwagon. But, I've not a clue what's good and what isn't. Teach me, guide me, lead me, oh wise ones. My budget is a bit low, however. A few hundred max.

    Windows 10

    OK... perhaps microshaft is getting frustrated people are refusing their free upgrade to win10

     

    Today, a client told me for reasons she does not understand, her computer decided to upgrade while she was playing a game.

    She said suddenly her game minimized and windows 10 began installing.

     

    I went in and began trying to revert her system. They had also added something you have to do to revert. Initially it would not give me the option to revert back to 7 saying system protection was not turned on.

    I went in and manually turned on system protection for her C drive... it then let me revert to 7

     

    In Her defense, once I reverted, the computer booted up into win7 with her game open, running producing error messages because the file was damaged preventing that particular session to be resumed.

    So the windows 10 upgrade box, had somehow accepted her game inputs to begin the upgrade.... bizarre.

     

    I'm still on 7, but I've noticed lately that it will suddenly attempt to install 10 without asking. It has thus far allowed me to stop the install, but it does seem to be making that more difficult.

    This is exciting and likely a major discovery.

    While I agree it is an interesting scientific opportunity, I think the immediate jump to "alien superstructure" is a bit absurd.

     

    Finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe would certainly be exciting, but this object is almost 1,500 light years away. No one alive today will see anything really come from this discovery.

     

    I agree - Correlating an unusual annual flicker from some distant star to alien technology is well, as Hunter put it, absurd. My money is on some yet discovered natural phenomenon. Time (lots of it) will tell.
