Cat5e will be better than powerline if you have a decent broadband speed or do any sort of file copies between machines on the network... Or gaming. Powerline tend to introduce latency and a fraction of Gigabit bandwidth. Powerline will be fine if you do not game and don't have a really fast...

For lightroom, single core performance is what you need. Windows/mac doesn't make a difference, just look at what CPU us being used. i5 or i7 would be your best bet. It all comes down to budget though...

In it's simplest form of this question... If you didn't have Windows (or any other "Operating System" like Apple / Linux) then when you turn your computer on it would just sit there and do nothing. Having Windows (etc) on there allows you to actually use applications (to view images / browse...

I use lastpass as it integrates with browser. Works fine for me. The one open sources / always free / your own encryption / your responsibility / most secure is Keepass: https://keepass.info/ Didn't have browser integration last time I checked. To be honest it is the best though if you can...

My host (www.34sp.com) can install Wordpress with a simple installer in the cPanel, much like ecoleman's provider siteground. You CAN move your host, it will cost you a years domain renewal but you also get that added on to your "expiry" date so effectively it is cost neutral / minimal. For...

Can always jam a bit of cardboard/matchstick under the finger rest for right click, little bit of tape. Right click now non-functional

Update, you can disable all buttons except main 2.... :/ Only gives you option to swap 'em

Had a quick google for an image: http://static.filehorse.com/screenshots/drivers/logitech-gaming-software-screenshot-03.jpg Click on the button, assign what you want or "Nothing". Mouse button will then do nothing. EDIT - Can even set an Excel profile and normal one. So normal use of mouse in...

I use the Logitech G602. You can program any button to do whatever you wish. Batteries last months. (think 6 months or so) Tracks on anything. It'll do what you want and you can have extra buttons to do other things...

That is odd. I work in IT and have never seen this. How do you get it back? Also if you have IE (or Chrome) open, then delete the icon - Does IE (or Chrome) close or stay open?

i5 will be plenty. The price difference to the i7 is only if you are doing video encoding etc but for just PS/LR etc, i5 will do grand. Note the i5 8400 isn't far off and can save pennies but the K will give better performance. For the difference in performance I'd go with the 8400. +1 for a...

It does not delete the program. It will still be available from the start menu or the taskbar if you have pinned it there.

For how big a drive you would need, technically only just bigger than what you will use in total. In reality getting a drive twice the size allows for growth and the ability to go back to previous versions. My view on storage is to always buy twice as much as you think you need. Has served me...

Well, bonus pic of Kian from a few months ago. All I have on the work PC.

Note - If you are backing up to the same disk as you have everything on, if you lose the disk you lose the backup too! I'd get an external hard drive and back up to it. Say once a month. Then put that drive somewhere else (workplace?). That way if the worst happens you still have your drive...
