    Is my network protected in using an anti-virus on all computers but what if a guest accesses my wifi?

    Thanks for all the responses. I just googled and found how to set up a guest network on the Ubiquiti site. By definition, does a guest network just provide WiFi access but no possibility to get on the home network and see any of the devices connected? If so, this may be the answer. Just have to...

    Is my network protected in using an anti-virus on all computers but what if a guest accesses my wifi?

    A recent thread recommended ESSET as a good antivirus program for the Mac. We only have Macs and would get a subscription for most of my Macs so they are protected. I do also have 3 NAS devices attached to our network (1 old Drobo FS and 2 new Synology units). If I let a guest sign on to our...

    Scanning using a Mac for a PDF file stopped working. Need help.

    I always (or years) used the System Preferences -> Printers and Scanners to scan documents to PDF (text, B&W or color) using my Brother multifunction printer. All of a sudden, when I try to scan to PDF the attached file is what I get. When I use B&W or color to scan to JPG, the scan works...

    Is there an "in engine" shelf life for used oil?

    I remember reading oil can age and get acidic if used even for a short while, driven only a thousand or so miles. I have 2 cars, a sports car using a synthetic Mobil 1 oil which I drive about 1-2 thousand miles yearly when there is no salt on the road and a small truck with a gas engine which I...

    Battery Maintainer: Prologix vs Norco Genius

    I will have 2 and maybe three cars/SUV sitting in my garage this winter. The Norco has connections besides the clamps and battery ringlets being 12v cigarette plug can bus enabled and OCBD II to charge while Prologix has a 7 stage charge cycle including “exercising” the battery. Which one would...

    Do tires age sitting around in an attached garage?

    I want to change tires/rims on my seasonal truck which has already been put away for the season from old off road to on road tires with new rims. Truck is not driven from the Winter to Spring as the frame is not galvanized. Since I have free time and want to do things in the garage, am I wasting...

    New Suburban is great. I thought I was old school as my daily drivers were all manual transmission but having a modern SUV with keyless entry, push button start, handsfree phone. Still at 1300 miles (4 weeks old) and have a few questions on when to change my first oil.

    First oil change on new modern SUV; how many miles

    I'm 50 and remember when I was younger, read that on new cars, to do an oil change at 1000 miles to get rid of the "shavings" that may show up in new engines. Now that it is 2016, I have a new Suburban. It uses 0W20, Dexos rated oil, I assume synthetic and the dealer has a sticker on my...
