I bought the Seagate Home Theatre for $3 at a Thrift store for my mom, so she could have something to play videos if relatives dropped by with a USB stick or I had anything for her, like her Christmas songs. But if anyone knows a trick for a Dish Remote control to let her switch it in like it were a VCR, she would be one happy mother (no pun intended) I'll tell you that.

Cockos REAPER pre-release site asks not to link to them, so it's https :// landoleet . org / and delete the spaces. Surely I'm not suggesting anyone run this on a Pogoplug Pro, but if what I'm reading is true, we can run REAPER on small devices. This is a complete game changer for a number of reasons. 1. a Home recording studio can have the control computer right there wiby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic

For instance, this: One of the next low-budget tangents I plan on going on, is to get a few KVM switches. They're incredibly cheap when they include VGA ports in addition to the USB. I mostly don't use VGA for my video because it sears my eyes a lot quicker than the days of old. So this project has nothing to do with a need to switch video, just 3 or 4 USB 2.0 lines but an audio jackby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic

I knew something was tugging at me to come here; it's four years (and two hours) I've been a member here.

My setup on the main machine is two monitors and speakers real close, so close that to plug in most things makes the speakers have to be moved. So you'd get an adapter right? Like this one? No! Although 74 cents inc shipping isn't a bad deal for that part (25 days to Midwest US). That will point the connector up. And what am I going to have higher than the monitor?

I got almost 3 years out of a (PNY) USB 3.0 stick in the E02 Pogoplug before it went haywire a month ago. It formats and still works, but it's replaced by a SanDisk. I'd try a direct copy of your working stick over to the 128 GB stick, then resize it internally, but that does seem odd at first. * PNY 2.0 sticks have been terrible in my experience all around, but their 3.0 have bby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic

Especially if it's setup like Transmission where it can be turned off or bandwidth limited when you need to get other work done.
