Re: [H] Small box to drive projector

I was considering linux and open or libre office also. I just need to play the PowerPoint and other media.  I also need a easy way to load contact at a distance if I mount the NUC with the projector.  Do they make Bluetooth keyboards with a USB port? Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S™ III, an AT&T 4

Re: [H] Small box to drive projector

I assumed Windows when you said PowerPoint. They make wireless PowerPoint remotes, and you could always use a remote-control sized keyboard+trackpad (http://amzn.com/B00I5SW8MC) I added a 4GB G.Skill DDR3L SODIMM and a 64GB SSD I had spare. I upgraded the wireless because I wanted 5GHz 802.11ac su

Re: [H] Small box to drive projector

That is one I looked at before. Looks like I would need memory, storage, possibly an HDMI to VGA converter. Then there is the question of remote control software. I guess I could just go with Windows and RDP (What level of Windows 7, 8.1, 10) does RDP? I would love to be able to reach it with an A

Re: [H] Small box to drive projector

I just recently built a tiny system around the Intel NUC DN2820FYKH. Cheap, tiny, energy efficient, but still reasonably powerful. I was fairly impressed. There are NUCs based on Core i3 and i5 chips if more power is required. -Original Message- From: Hardware [mailto:hardware-boun...@list

Re: [H] web cam security software

I like Blue Iris. It works with a long list of cameras, including just about anything ONVIF-compliant with RTSP. It may or may not work with the PTZ controls, but you can always try it out. It's a bit more resource intensive* than some of the alternatives, but its excellent feature set, stability,

Re: [H] Browsers

That looks like a plan. I'll go from Waterfox to Firefox. They use the same profile, so that's one less worry. The other day, Waterfox was glacial, I did a speednet test and it was hovering around 9-10 MB/sec. I shut it down and restarted, and right back to over 100MB/sec. Thanks guys. O
