  1. Would like help choosing (free) remote collaboration software


    I have a need - with almost trivial requirements - for some collaboration software. I know almost nothing about such products, and descriptions I've seen tout features far beyond what I need while failing to describe very basic features.

    I have less than 50MB of data - mostly small (20-50KB) HTML files - that needs to be accessible and modifiable by one or two other people in a small non-profit organization.

    Here's a list of requirements (or preferences) in no particular order.
    • The data will be accessed for several hours once or twice a week. There is no need for continuous access. This implies we should be able to sign in and out as needed.
    • Sign-in credentials should not be tied to the user's computer account credentials.
    • There will probably need to be access from both Windows and Mac.
    • There will be no need for multiple people to access the data at the same time, but the system should probably allow this. There should be some facility to lock a file being edited. (Hopefully that would be automatic.)

    I use Box and gave Box Drive a try. It was OK but the sign-in process is cumbersome. It uses an email address for the sign-in id and there is no way to pre-populate its sign-in data. (I wouldn't necessarily want the password filled in, but having the last used email address - or better yet, a pull-down list of addresses) would be nice.

    I tried looking at Box Sync, but could not get it to work. I think it requires a paid Box account; it won't work with my free one.

    I will look into DropBox and Google Drive but I would appreciate comments on how well they would fit my very modest needs.

    Does Microsoft's OneDrive fit in this arena at all?

    :)

    Help choosing a new case

    Don't really know how to help you. You are being vague. Here is what I would do. Choosing a case is aesthetics first. Shop NewEgg and list the cases you like and list them. Members will suggest the best choice from your selections.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
