I've had one of these dongles fail before. Penalties for non-timely delivery made duplicating these dongles necessary. And yes, those parallel port dongles were even worse. I suppose you might be able to find a PCIe parallel port card?

I've made a 1 cent purchase including shipping from Shenzhen. China is not "siphoning money out of our economy". Chinese companies are passing their logistics costs to Western postal systems. There is a difference. We honour

I have had good experiences with items that cost over $50. They tend to arrive quickly. For instance, a tray of CPUs was shipped to me in less than 36 hours for $10 total shipping. For me, it is the inexpensive items with free shipping that

In the last two years, I've found that about 1 in 4 of my purchases from China will never arrive. Obtaining refunds is an easy process but frustrating. Many of the sellers will have rankings that make them seem trustworthy only to disa

I deliberately didn't sign up for my workplace birthday planning calendar. I chipped in for others birthdays but didn't feel any need to get my turn. So they made mine April 1st. Touché.

Not having USB-C on my laptop doesn't even matter. The Google Pixels 1/2/C and Nexus 6P have USB-C, but they don't transfer data at that speed. I also don't want to fry my devices however and I'm scared of thes

What I want to know is why new exercise equipment is running Android 2.2 Froyo. I had to reboot a brand new stair climber with an Android interface today. Software kept crashing whenever I tried to select an exercise profile.

I've had two Nexus 9 tablets. One of them had a bright horizontal light filtering out from the border of the screen and was incredibly unreliable. The other Nexus 9 never skipped a beat, but it was the 16GB version. It was good enough

So we've recently heard in the news that cryptocurrency mining supposedly takes .5% of all global power. Now compare that to the extra electricity required for everybody undergoing the horrible experience of 80 poorly written trackers

Really, because the guy in the brown jacket had a incredibly coiffed beard? Is that what made you think they were homeless? Your sophistry is all about equating asking a homeless smelly white dude with two perfectly respectable men waiting

The obvious answer is to restrict some API usage, specifically posting, to verified accounts. This obviously conflicts with Twitter's incentive to maximize their profit and brand. So the next obvious solutions are token measures. edit:

I didn't devote much time, but about half of the 10 manuals I looked at quickly are of horrible, almost unreadable, photocopies. One thing I did find is that some games, like Arcanum, use "warez" copy protection cracks. http
