Enloops low voltage causes a few of my devices to freak out, and my guitar tuner will go into 'boot loops'. Not sure why they even sell them when they don't match the characteristics of the AA form. I only have them for tv re

Not always true. Our package got nabbed, a person noticed the empty box tossed on a nearby street and called the cops. Cops got video from a near by house an image of a unique car; month later they saw the car, arrested him. He paid for the

Doesn't matter as much what you do or how, but more importantly that you've communicated it to the people who will have to deal with your stuff if you were to kick the bucket tomorrow. My parents simply made a list of passwords on

I think that's fine; albeit a potentially awkward conversation, I personally would rather have known "hey, here's what you can get into, here is what is private" but we never talked about it at all. Especially important

Another consideration, when my dad passed we had his passwords but not his phone or tablet pins/patterns. Both devices are encrypted, and the samsung I believe is set to wipe after a number of failed attempts. While there probably isn&

I've seen a couple news sources that are altering their publish dates to show near the top of news feeds. Google will announce "3 hours old", despite being weeks old.

Deep sleep is 7uA, 240uA light sleep. And there still is a Vin to power it how ever you want, takes 6-21v. And a USB port makes serial easy.

Demands for output are met with request for compensation. Was there a threat made? No, so not extortion, by definition. If they said, "Since you asked I want money or ill plant a backdoor to ruin you", sure thats extortion, but th

It takes roughly 8 days to shoot a half-hour, and 10-12 days for an hour long episode. And that doesn't include 1-3 months pre-production. Crews work 12-18 hour days to make it happen as well; burnout is real. It's also incredibly

Yeah Google Fi/store is pretty disappointing. I bought a brand new phone once that died within 30 days; they fought me tooth and nail to replace it with a refurb. Then their system ignored the returned phone delivery status and proceed

Where Starwars lost me: horrible 3D redos of the original movies, but no redo-redo now that 3D doesnt suck. And lately is "Sasquach Starwars Body Soap" comeon, how pathetic.

But it doesnt put anything in the folder either. So you open Chrome and change it, if its an issue for your local computer. Its not like it is installing a gig of data with no user control. Zero data, full control.

So now it must assume which drive to use? What if my second drive is only for work, and I don't want Chrome touching it? This is why they give you an option to change it instead of guessing

Netflix got greedy and decided to make all their own content in-house, but they did a poor job of picking shows, and not making too many at once. They burned tons of money on mediocre-to-bad shows, all in the name of not paying licensing to

Exactly. My personal example: wanting to cancel due to shady advertising practices, my newspaper said i owed them money for an additional subscription I didn't make, and then threatened to send it to a collection agency. I hate to turn
