You're right, it should solve the issue, however, there are a couple things at play: 1. If you have a newer wifi AP that supports 5ghz, it might allow you to create a separate SSID for 5ghz, which is great, because now you can specify

From what I've heard, many USB3 interfaces have been causing Wifi and Bluetooth reception problems for a few years now. This is due to electromagnetic interference in the 2.4ghz. spectrum. I wouldn't expect a high-end Apple produ

It's for charging only. This seems to be a huge disadvantage to USB-c... you have to buy different cables for different purposes, even though they have the same physical connector. Can you imagine if AC power had the same plug for bot

Take a look at Blue Iris (unfortunately Windows only). It supports almost every camera imaginable, and has the benefit that it runs on a single Windows server you can secure, while it pulls camera feeds directly from the cameras over your

We should look at this as it really is: Russia is super paranoid, and increasingly isolationist. Putin is also realizing that all of his technology comes from western companies, and they are trying to build their own, so that they aren&#x

This is actually much more indicative of the economic direction the market thinks we will be headed in. Hint: it's not good. The bond market is extraordinarily efficient at pricing risk, and right now, they're beginning to price

The handling is truly impressive. Perfect 50/50 weight distribution, and the battery is in the floor so you have a very low center of gravity. It can also do a U-turn on a 2 lane road, as it has an extremely tight turning radius. It&

You can buy a BEV (full electric with no generator) version if you want. Since you already owned a Leaf, you probably wouldn't have range anxiety in the i3 BEV because it gives you about 110-120 miles range.
