Are you stationary or do you move around? Four batteries + solar panels can get somewhat heavy and eat into your total capacity, so I'm curious if it's an issue.

I have no idea if this is within the rules, but another option could be to use the "Gift This App" function to generate paid, non-expiring promo codes instead (send it to yourself). You'd incur the 30% App Store revenue cut t

I won't use any Google product for anything serious because of the complete and utter lack of support. It is virtually impossible to get a human to look at something, even when the process outlined is human-based rather than automated.

I vastly prefer the Anker audio quality, but I ran into a situation recently where the Jambox was the only speaker that would work adequately. I purchased a Bluetooth transmitter (the model is not relevant -- all devices I tried behaved the

The part in all of this that has bothered me more than anything is that it's a diversion to mask the real problem: healthcare service and products are unsustainably expensive. Casinos use chips and vouchers to distract gamblers from ac

This is a trade I'm willing to accept. I trust a VPS provider more with those records than I trust either Verizon or Comcast, both of which are motivated by advertising.

A large portion of PIA's endpoints are blacklisted due to their popularity and related abuse. I found it somewhat annoying to try and use.

It's less private for some forms of traffic, but for me, my main goal is to avoid ISP tracking and provide encryption on potentially malicious networks, which it works well enough for.

I don't use Algo, but I can vouch for using your own as long as the tradeoffs are acceptable. Pros: - You can choose a VPS provider close to your network for better speed. - Less likely to be blacklisted. - No connection limits

This is it I think. I personally buy nice things and do everything possible to keep them nice as long as possible (e.g., I am bothered by reading a book that's creased or significantly worn in any way). I will not loan anything to anyo

Any idea if this division of Apple employees are eligible for stock options? If so, those may have ended up being one form of a payoff.

If you look at the IAP option list you can tell if it's freemium or not. I don't put a free app with a $9.99 "Unlock Pro Functionality" in that category. Fifteen different "Buy xx Gems" is.

But where does it stop? When are people expected to assume a degree of personal responsibility? It may sound cruel, but what value to society are people who mooch off the effort of others and provide nothing of their own? There are 6 millio

It varies. I've been to locations where you can swipe as soon as the first item is scanned and others where it won't accept it until the end. The one certainty is there will be no consistency in the payment flow between more than

One tidbit I also heard or read somewhere, though I can't find a reference now, is that the poor grammar and misspelling is often deliberate. The theory behind it is that if a target is willing to overlook that, they're willing to

Why are per-capita emissions a more important number than net emissions? With the former, China is behind us (roughly half) whereas with the latter, they're roughly double based on the current Wikipedia numbers.

I have personally tried OpenVPN on an EdgeRouter PoE. The OpenVPN version in the current EdgeOS is fairly old and also has zero hardware support, so like the sibling post mentioned, it kills the bandwidth. It was something like 1 Mbit for T

I have an Edge Router as well. I know this particular thread is about IPSec but wanted to mention that the OpenVPN version on EdgeOS is rather old at this point and fairly underperformant for anyone considering that route.
