Just fished an Intel Quad Core Duo out of a bad mobo, and was wondering if a generalized clone using something like Acronis would let me swap it out for the Core 2 Duo in another machine without having to re-install everything.

EDIT: Actually, sysprep would probably work instead, right?

Sysprep would but honestly these days you could probably just switch it and Windows will figure itself out.

I need a really minor backup solution to store some somewhat sensitive legal and financial documents that I am digitizing. I keep them on my Google Drive account (is this my first mistake? It has 2FA and a strong, strong password) but I would like a local backup that I update weekly or so.

Mostly protection against cryptolocker-esque bullshit, so I'm guessing I'm best off with a wired drive that I plug in only when I'm updating it? Or are there network devices that I can use? I'd also like it to easily support some sort of encryption in case it gets lifted in a burglary.

Bitlocker a USB drive keep it on your keychain make a recurring google Calendar reminder to back it up like once a week.

Also the circumstance he just experienced...


The problem is more likely an issue with too many connections on a single residential access point than a bandwidth issue. You should probably look into a managed multi-AP system, like Ubiquity UniFi, which will load-balance clients between however many APs you have and present a single SSID between all of them.

Ubiquity is kinda low end garbage none of our clients have ever been happy with them don't put them in a real business get Ruckus, Aruba or Merakis instead.
