My favorite was when they wanted everyone to switch over from Internet Explorer to Edge (this was before support was dropped), so attempting to search "Internet Explorer" in the start menu caused it to override it with Edge instea

Lenovo once told me that extreme image persistence on the display was "normal" and there was nothing to repair. You could display some sensitive information on the screen, lock the screen, and still be able to read the previous in

You wouldn't even need "piracy" in this case, just buy one copy of the game and figure out how it phones home, and then pick your favorite method of tricking it into reporting ludicrous amounts of installs, which would signif

I don't really see how this is helping, you're just dragging your service down by getting it involved with this for no good reason.

It is good value, but I don't feel it's worth the $70 a month they charge, especially when compared with other subscription application prices. The Adobe Creative Cloud subscription at $54.99 includes quite a few applications, and

I'll just add in that I've placed around 30 orders with Mouser over the past few years and have never really had any trouble. I only ever order UPS 2nd day, because FedEx loves to find excuses to not deliver packages and UPS Mail

EasyEDA is what got me into designing PCBs. I didn't watch any tutorials or anything, just looked around and everything made sense. Now it's become an expensive hobby because I just can't stop.
