It's my understanding that personal hotspot can only utilize the cellular connection for the internet side since the wifi connection is being used to connect clientside. If one is hoping to use hotel wifi rather than their cellular pla

I did the same thing recently while visiting family in SE Asia. I wanted to watch my team's bowl game but American college football is unknown in that part of the world. A Wireguard connection back to my home router gave me the ESPN ac

It really depends. I have a friend who works in hospitality. She travels to some of the nicest hotels in world-class cities. Most of my friends who travel for work are staying in a chain hotel near an office park 25 miles outside the core c

Maybe not continue to do business with them but rather not lose access to their past purchases tied to their Amazon account.

Really depends on the size of the school districts. There are districts with more than a 100,000 students and there are those with barely 100. This is like saying "there are only 147 cities and towns who voted for X while 15,000 towns

Until Samsung builds a fridge that won't cool if it goes more than some period of time (a week?) without pinging their servers. They'd probably get away with it given the friction of getting a large appliance out of your home and

I recently ran into a situation where a service I absolutely must use and has no alternative (think government provided service) would only accept a Gmail domain for registration. Any other domain would fail registration with no useful erro

Granting this premise is true (I have no idea), that makes it even worse. They would deliberately be hoarding 40% of the global supply not to lock in for future growth but simply to make sure no one else gets to have it. It’s figuratively s

My Title 1 school made the ACT available to all students for free (on one specific date). A lot of kids who were unprepared for the ACT took it because, why not?

Depends on where you live. Around me the conservatives are more than willing to offer their political opinions even when the context doesn't fit. Progressive/Liberal folks tend to be less vocal because we already know where we sta

Political conservatives run a huge American flag off the back of their pickup. Same motivations. Different venue.

I keep my travel laptop clean of any outward expression. Saves a lot of potential grief crossing borders or cultures. My at home and around town laptop can be my canvas.

You've never seen anyone get outwardly offended but I'm sure there have been a few. It's just a statistical probability. I fully support the cause and would not be offended but I encounter people everyday who most certainly

I understand not wanting to deal with open seating but continuing to boycott an airline after they fixed your pet-peeve makes no sense to me.

The core benefit to me of FLAC is that it's lossless. I can convert the same file to an MP3 for the car and OPUS on my phone and don't have to worry about (compounding) losses in quality. I stream FLAC at home because I already ha

Good point. I haven’t tripped a GFCI in a long while but I don’t actually know if my fridge will lose power when I do trip the GFCI. My guess is that it will since it does have a water line and ice dispenser so probably requires being wired

I keep my Bosch set to Auto and Extra Dry and use Kirkland pods. Rarely do I have anything that comes out less than perfect. The Extra Dry setting seems to help with getting the glass and ceramics dryer. Plastics still come out quite wet si

Yeah, I have very soft water. I tried using a liquid rinse aid when I switched from a name brand pod with a rinse aid to the cheap Kirkland pods. The rinse aid made things worse and I did end up with a residue on my glassware. It’s cheap en

I think one of his earlier videos suggested doing what I have always done. Load the dishwasher then do the hand washing. This ensures you have hot water ready to go since you’ve already been actively using it. When hand washing is done, run

When we visit downtown of our city, I get great data coverage. My wife, on a different model but same gen iPhone and same plan, gets nothing. Her phone shows three or four bars but her apps won't load anything. No idea why, especially

The good/bad part of modern consumer appliances is that they are largely giant computers with fewer mechanical parts to fail. They can be more reliable but when something breaks, it almost always requires replacing a main board that co

If your schedule is consistent a standard programmable thermostat does the job for pretty cheap. My Ecobee is convenient but will probably go back to an offline model when it dies or loses support. Once I dialed in my preferred schedule, I
