And if you are printing colour, then a Brother ink-jet isn't a ridiculously stupid way to go either. I have a Brother DCP-J4120DW, about 7 years old. It sat unused for about 3 years, and just took a few head cleans to get it going ag

It is likely that your broadband provider will look at the fact that your router is often "losing connection" and infer that your cabling is dodgy, then reduce your connection speed to try to "help". Also, 15-20W is a li

Most of these nation-state-run blocking attempts tend to block known VPNs but allow ssh through. So, my suggestion would be ppp over ssh. See https://tldp.org/HOWTO/pdf/ppp-ssh.pdf for more details. You'll ne

I built my stereo at age 12, then followed it up with a (much larger) bass amplifier for my bass guitar when I was 14, and a mixer/effects box at 15. Of course they linked together, using the bass amplifier as a sub-woofer. I didn&#x27
