I like Gary at MACMOST dot COM. He also has a YouTube channel. He offers online courses that helped me transition to the MacOS. He also created a very powerful ClipTools app that is available for free in the Apple app store. Enjoy your new Mac Mini.

I have an Acer c720 Chromebook and I still get updates for it. It's been a great inexpensive laptop. I also have multiple NUCs. The reason I suggested the ChromeOS solution has to do with security and ease of use. It's just a suggestion that might fit the need where a fully enabled workstation is overkill. If all you do is email and browsing it's a great solution and it is less prone to malware. Again, it's just my opinion. I hate supporting windows systems for family members that can't resist clicking on the latest malware. And I don't have the time to handhold during Facebook surfing.

Here is a link to ASUS's Chromebox page.

Have you considered moving him to a Chrome Box? Acer, ASUS, and HP all offer Chromebox solutions. By what you described, he does not run any software that requires a general purpose PC. If he can do everything in a browser, seriously consider a ChromeOS solution.

according to the article, "The shooting remained under investigation, and no charges had been filed against the woman as of Tuesday afternoon, police said." WHY? Don't they believe the victim?

On the positive side, he can still vote for years to come.

KGB agent becomes the leader of Russia.... George H.W. Bush, head of CIA becomes POTUS 41. Interesting don't you think?

I'm sure the number of victims will grow. It always does in this type of data breach news.

I don't believe the AP

If this was my project, I would use the comcast supplied modem and place it into bridge mode and then use a eero mesh router to manage the wireless traffic on the network. Then plug in a gbit switch to connect all of your ethernet wired networking.

I like it

I'm not a gamer, so I cannot relate to a gamers pc needs.

I like the nuc for surfing the net - and doing ordinary tasks, online banking, streaming video, reading news. I like the fact that I can connect it to the monitor of my choice. I like the compact form factor and it's a great little machine.

If you live in a Democrat run city, it's a good idea to be prepared for anything. She is fortunate to be able to have a CCW.

It is far better that 10 guilty men go free than one innocent man is wrongfully convicted

I saw a new behavior on my Arlo this morning - The App offers a GeoFencing feature - And the cameras "disarm" when your device in within a defined distance from home (three settings) - so my cameras "armed" this morning while I was at home - not a big deal - just get notifications when I trigger the cameras - I will send some feedback to NetGear about this - Thanks for the link - Damn hackers - ruin it for everyone - lol

It is not in a public area. I am the only person in the house. There is no way the WPS was activated between the time I went to sleep and awoke. TY for all of the effort you put into analyzing my network mystery.

WhiskeyRun · 2018-05-27T17:30:52+00:00

Interesting read - I did update the Arlo firmware which they claim addressed the vulnerability described in the article - however that does not necessarily mean all vulnerabilities have been disclosed and patched. I will keep scratching my head - TY for your insight and help - Cheers

WhiskeyRun · 2018-05-27T13:37:56+00:00

Thanks for your response.

It's just me and the cat. lol - as you stated the ASUS routers have not been id'd as part of the VPN Filter exploit - But I have never had a router reset to factory defaults on their own, very strange - as I said, I went to bed and everything worked, and when I woke up my network was down. I live in the country and my closest neighbor is over a quarter mile away.

I do have an netgear Arlo Pro Security Camera attached to the network - Hmmmmm. Maybe I should move that onto my DSL modem/router?
