There is a streaming service called NFL Rewind that you can get for ~$40 per year. The drawback is that all games are blacked out until after SNF is over. So I live in a bubble and ignore football until I can watch my team play at 9pm Pac

My chromecast sits unused in a drawer because I hate to have to use my phone / tablet to watch TV (lack of tactile feedback, phone lock timeout, and being distracted by work email when I'm trying to relax). This thing has a remot

When I build a PC, the number one feature I want is ECC memory. It can be tricky to find a non-server configuration that supports it (you historically need a "good" bios that is smart enough to enable it for AMD, and you typicall

I had nearly the opposite experience. In ~2007, after the birth of my first child I had very little time. So I thought to myself "I don't have time to keep up with maintaining a Linux desktop" and I bought a nice iMac, and moved from Linu
