Visa, Netflix, Twitter, Amazon, down this morning. And Netflix down this afternoon. and maybe this evening? Damn DoS attacks.

YouTube works fine. Great day for podcasts

Some parts of the Weather Channel's website are not working, some fishing site I tried to get on is down, and a Google search for some ATV tracks showed a few sites down as well.

 

Wonder this is all related?

Russians......lol

Russians......lol

I love how the Russians are getting blamed for everything, when the Chinese have stolen so much stuff over the years(I still think it's hilarious they built the JSF style stealth fighter faster than we did, by about a decade). I guess they just coincidentally stopped as soon as we needed someone else to blame.

 

What I think no one is realizing, say we do tick Russia off, go to war.

 

It'll be a short as it takes them to drop their war machine plans over at the Chinese factories. They could outbuild us so fast it'd be ridiculous. It would be like WWII and the US, just in reverse since all the factories are there now.

 

And if either side went nuclear, the entire world is done.

Some moron just purchased an item on eBay, paid for it, then asked for cancellation 5 minutes later.

Sometimes people make mistakes...... has happened to me once with an ebay item. I misread one line in the description which changed my mind

He said he didn't even mean to buy it. He wanted it on his watch list..... but instead he clicked buy it now, confirm, submit payment. Now that's special.

[txab]

That's a dumbass

We had some intermittent problems at work today because of those DoS attacks.

Oh I bet he did. I ran an eBay for a couple years at my previous job. I once had a guy who created a new ebay account everytime he bought something. The guy wanted to return an item or some other function that required him to access his account. Needless to say after many conversations he was pissed at me.

They don't appear to have as much red tape build it at any cost. Really nice they stole the information to get them as far as they are

I have had a 3TB my book live (now called MyCloud) drive (a simple plug and play NAS that WD makes) for years I have never used, so I opened it up, wondered what was in the casing, and saw its an AV-GP drive inside(DVR grade). So I put it in my TiVo. However it was formatted really confused Windows 10 (to the point I was looking at an all day wait for a full format) so I'm hoping the TiVo reads everything. Going to suck if I just lost a few hours for nothing because some partitions were locked down.

 

Edit: after initially crashing, it booted up with 477 hours of available HD storage. Menus faster also now. Think I'll keep the old drive around just in case for a few months.

Connect the hard drive to your computer and then open command prompt with elevated privileges/administrator. Then open run diskpart in command prompt and you'll be able to wipe any partitions using the clean command. If you need explicit instructions let me know and I'll find a good reference online for you.

Yeah, I've done that before, that's why it would have taken so long. It wouldn't quick format, only full format. And it took 5 minutes for the first 2%(through format utility in Windows), so didn't want to try until I gave the TiVo a shot. It shows 477 HD recording hours available so its working so far, (I think TiVo just does a quick format and makes it one partition when it detects a new HDD). If I have problems I'd do it the long way, but it's working fine right now. Figure I'll know in a month or so.

 

Also stopped by Walmart and saw the current 3TB my cloud is $170. I think That's more than I paid in 2013.

Yeah sadly HDD prices haven't come down all that much. I picked up 2 5TB Blacks earlier this year and I have yet to see them on sale for that price again. Wish I'd just bought 4 instead of 2.

I haven't bought an HDD since then for my PC. I have an old 500GB, an old 1TB both for back up, only get turned on a few minutes a month. They are redundant, since I had two drives fail in one month before. I only use them for photos, videos, and Tax record PDFs, I think I only have like 150-200GB on them.

 

I have a 2TB for workhorse duty in my PC, keep my OS and a few games on the SSD, most everything else on the 2TB, and it's only like 60% full. I don't really do anything to fill them up.
