How can I improve this on my phone? I have ad blocking and flash blocking on my laptop, which speeds it up considerably. On my phone which is slower, lower memory, more battery sensitive, and data capped (so ads are a bigger nuisance), I ca

Less than 2% of TV stations went back to Low band VHF after the transition. I'm in one of those areas where one station decided to go back to low VHF after analog was shut off, and it's an NBC affiliate (and NASCAR and SNL are rea

I'm in the United States, and I don't know if I've ever seen an aluminum food can here. All of the Campbells Soup Cans, Canned vegetables, etc, are in steel cans. They are usually coated with a polymer that can break down int

I have both. The Fire Stick Audio cuts out every other day and the stick has to be reset. It forgot my login once and had to be factory reset. It has yet to play a video without some stuttering/frame drops/minor audio-video sync.

Also, it's third-party over the internet, but IFTTT would connect all of the items mentioned in the post. LIFX, Alexa, Hue, and WeMo. It's not ideal to be dependent on a third party web application that's still in its early s

I looked over the types defined. I'm guessing it uses built-in types for scalar float/double, and integer? It looks like the only defined types are for complex floats and 128 bit integers. EDIT: I looked at the functions listed fo

A source I read earlier said that he also would not be charged with "intent to cause alarm". Although the clock did have an alarm function (it beeped in class and the teacher that reported him commented on it). You can't make

As it's been stated, the problem is that insurance negotiates a lower rate, in addition to helping pay for it. Example: I needed a sinoplasty/septoplasty. The procedure was $26k if I was uninsured. My insurance company had negotia

Nope. Our bio hoods have a toggle switch. Lights off is in the middle, lights on is one direction, UV sterilization is the other direction. To turn the lights on, you have to turn the UV off.
