I attempt to take in all the information I have and make conclusions, sharing commentary from time to time. Job wise, I was in the United States Marine Corp, I've been a Customer Service Director, Tech Support Technician, and currently in Document Imaging Project Management. I'm also a Microsoft MVP.

By Larry Henry Jr. in Hardware, How to, Internet

I have to admit since I purchased my Google Home, I’ve been trying to find ways to automate various things around the house.

Picking BitDefender For Antivirus Protection

By Larry Henry Jr. in Security, Software

I’ve been using Bitdefender for several years. I started using Bitdefender when I started referencing the AV-Comparatives website that independently tests the performance and security of antivirus software. Prior to that, I had been using Microsoft Security Essentials, Windows Defender. Unfortunately, by using Windows Defender, it allowed malware to infect my PC and it basically …

PlexPy is now Tautulli

By Larry Henry Jr. in How to, Internet, Media, Streaming Audio/Video

You don’t have information about how many users you’re serving up how many streams, how many transcodes and what are the peak hours of the day. …

Using Mini Smart Sockets

By Larry Henry Jr. in Hardware, How to, Internet

Over the past year or so, I’ve been getting into using the Google Home (assistant). It’s nice to be able to turn lights on, ask general questions and set appointments just by talking. But one of the most disappointing things about the Google Home habitat is the ancillary devices/switches. A lot of them are fairly …
