Just finished dealing with a eBay scam myself. Bought a used laptop, it got marked as shipped but the tracking number was fake and not real. Due to it being marked as shipped I had to wait 28 days for eBay purchase protection to do somethin

Haha, thank you! I have many fond memories playing Marble Blast on a G5 iMac as a teen, I think it came to our Internet-less house bundled with the iMac along with Glider Pro which I think came via CD. I managed to get Marble Blast ultra ru

I have a number with VOIP.ms, which I use with Softphone app Zoiper5. I'm going to attempt to transfer my Skype number over. VOIP.ms has a "availability" tool and it indicates its possible to port it.

I was under the impression that the 1Password database is synced and stored locally. If that is the case why would the servers having issues prevent logins to local databases, and not just the syncing of them? Edit: It would appear the brow

Like this story that makes the rounds once in awhile. Who knows how true it is but.. "Due to complexities in their manufacturing line, a popular toothpaste company would occasionally, accidentally, ship empty boxes to their customers.

Not sure who's delivering them to in this instance but here in the Yukon Territory, Amazon has contracted a private company to deliver their parcels. I have them on video just throwing a delivery over the chain link fence at our busine

I live in the Yukon Territory, Canada... Not 100% sure this explosion is what woke me this morning but: I woke up at 7:15 AM MST to what I though was a freight truck loading boxes at the business next door. Rumbling, thudding noises. Very f

For downloads yes, if you account is banned that’s it. Still not perfect. But the games don’t necessarily have DRM on the the downloaded files. I own quite a few games I can just copy/backup their files to a different computer and they

Which is the reason why some of us are upset. Before version 8 of 1Password you could have a local database that you could manually and properly sync to different places if you so chose. And backups. With 1Password 8, you have no choice but

This is the second time that 1Password Co has done something that I consider a negative... The first one being them "hiding" the standalone version purchase link. Doesn't give me much faith in their future plans which seen to

Nice, never thought to try that. Makes sense though. Thanks!

It is just a webkit wrapper. At least the last time I looked into it. UBlock Origin isn't possible. You can get some Apple sanctioned Ad-Blockers, but I think most (or all?) of them use a invisible VPN with DNS based ad blocking. Mozil

Transmit is good too, although I really liked the Scheduling function YummyFTP had. It was great for setting a large download to 2AM when the DSL network wasn't overloaded. Wish Transmit would add that feature. I suppose it can be done

That's why the 2012 MBP is under my desk 99% of the time collecting dust. I use it mostly for command line applications through homebrew these days. Haven't quite figured out a good way/something comparable for windows. Would

I'm in the same boat, just more from a Photography standpoint. Oldest Mac I own is a 2012 MBP and I really do not see any appeal in any of the newer machines. I built myself fairly high end Mini ITX Windows machine for a fraction of wh

Not likely, I tried that route about 2 years ago... they started calling and leaving threatening messages every day until I paid up. Not sure what would have happened if I kept ignoring them.

I've had that for what I though was 2 years, so I looked it up and it appears they partnered with Apple back in Jan 2019. https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/15/18183653/duckduckgo-apple...

Never heard of that technique before! Found some videos from Ben Horne about it, that explain it well to a non medium format shooter. Quite a cool way of adjusting the DOF on a scene.
