I purchased this because I had waited for the 2014 Mac Mini and was disappointed that Apple continues its relentless quest to stop consumers from upgrading their products. It's outrageous that one cannot upgrade the RAM in the new Mac Mini. When I saw that, I decided to stop giving Apple any of my money. I bought this version of the NUC (the one that can hold a 2.5 drive) because I already had a 2.5 SSD. I also had 16 GB of RAM and an old Windows 7 Professional 64 disc. That's all you need to set one of these up (i.e., a drive, RAM, and an operating system). These are extremely easy to set up. Here are a few pointers to make sure your installation process goes as smoothly as possible. First, make sure you have your hard drive properly formatted BEFORE you install it in the NUC. I didn't, and so I had to take the NUC apart to get the hard drive out so I could format it. Second, do yourself a favor and go to the Intel NUC site and download the drivers before you try to install the operating system. Intel has made this very easy by setting up a zip file that includes all the drivers in one bundle (if you prefer, you can download the drivers individually). Make sure you get the drivers for your particular NUC model. Putting the drivers on a thumb drive will make your set-up process so much easier. With an SSD (even a 2.5 one) and 16 GB of RAM, this little computer is a real screamer. It is incredibly fast and runs cool. I'm very pleased with it. Goodbye Mac Mini. You've been replaced by the NUC.

 Please these little guys can double as mini server. Depends on what you want to do with your server. ;)
Geek ON!

Create Your Own Amiibo Tutorial

Image
There are 3 requirements for making amiibos you can use on your Switch/Wii U/3DS. NFC writing capability - generally this means only Android phones with NFC, but apparently it is possible to buy an NFC reader/writer for PC but it is more complicated. NFC Ntag215 stickers - these are little stickers that have a specific type of nfc chip in them that you can buy for really cheap. I bought mine on Amazon because I didn't want to wait for 1 month to get them in from China.  Mine came with 11 ntag215 stickers and got to my house in about 2 days   Only NTAG215 works, 213,216 and other common stickers DO NOT WORK. The TagMo app for Android and .bin files of the amiibo you want to put on your sticker. I'll let you guys google that one, they aren't hard to find. Okay, so you got your stickers and phone with NFC writing, now what? On your Android device go to Settings > Security > Unknown Sources (turn on). This makes it so that you can install apps that ar

Natural Remedies For Acne Treatment

Natural Remedies For Acne Treatment I used to be suffering from really nasty acne and people called me pizza face. My pimples were huge with lots of puss. I decided to not show pictures of  myself here because they are really grotesque and sick. Here you will find a remedy to that will help you fight your acne if your adult or child. Natural remedy for acne is stop eating sugar and eating healthy.  Avoid foods with high fructose corn syrup, msg, processed foods and fried. Just eat clean food with with barely any seasoning. For example white meats, fish, and vegetables.  Change your pillow cases often and use benzyl peroxide products to wash your face. In addition avoid touching your face at all cost. Touching your face will move oils and germs. Plus make your pores dirty. You do not want your pores dirty. This acne problem is embarrassing and very annoying. DRINK lots of water. I cannot emphasize that enough. Sleep your required 8 hours a day. Do not have late nights. If you l
