For office related work and movie watching, web surfing activities, I turned to low powered x86 windows laptops. Right now I have a couple lenovo 300e and 100e's. They do whatever I need and I can bring them on my trips. This is after checking out and playing around with Raspberry Pi, fit-PC2...

yes. They booked and paid for their own flight separately. My friend said he will pay for lodging. The girl will pay for the rest of the expenses during the trip.

Thanks for all the inputs. A few more facts from what I learned by talking with him: - They have met via zoom but have not met in person - The girl has lower income than my friend. think about 3x. - They have only been together for 2 months - They plan to meet each other in real life the...

I installed my own remote start system in two of my cars and had them for over 20 years combined. The car I drive now does not have the remote start and I don't plan to install it. Yes it is nice to be able to start the car in the dead winter morning but the new cars are so efficient that unless...

I have a friend who recently got into a romantic relationship and asked me about a challenge they are facing: male: 46 single never married, live in the US, close to his 73 yr old mother with A.Fib who needs caring. He can work remotely. His mother owns her own house and does not want to move...

My cheap dashcam without the screen has a red flashing light to indicate it is recording. If there is no red blinking light while the car is on, it is an indication that no data is written into the memory card. It could be a corrupted memory card or the faulty system.

I also recently attempted switching both my and my mother's cell provider. it was not smooth and the tracfone support was a joke. I ended up switching mine to tello. it was super easy. The phone was from tracfone and unlocked. The sim card activation and number porting took about 20 minutes...

I would turn the dehumidifier on in case there is some condensation that could cause the furnace to rust.

The holiday season always gets me in depressed mood. Not because I am single (though that did not help either), but because I know after a few days of freedom of my mind and body, I will have to go back to work and wait for another year til the next long holiday period. This morning when I...

It's all good. More knowledge and perspective help in most cases. Happy Holidays everyone!

After a long run or intensive yard work what would you do to reduce the muscle soreness: - Nothing specifically. Wait it out - Give it the ice bath - Put a heating pad on the spot. - Painkillers I ask the question because I see conflicting arguments from Google search. The muscle soreness is...

We have the police alert SMS and the community on Patch/ Nextdoor app for missing kids/teenager alerts. One of the few things that is actually helpful from the network technology.

I think the moisture barrier is the solution. According to https://www.energyvanguard.com/blog/what-happens-when-you-put-a-plastic-vapor-barrier-in-your-wall/ and , if there are two layers of moisture barrier, one on the outside of the framing, and one on the inside of the framing behind the...

Topics like this always makes me feel like it is up to interpretation of different parties and often lack of evidence. Yay: https://insealators.com/residential/spray-foam-insulation-and-moisture-control/ Nay...

The first million net worth was the most difficult. Then it was the recession. After the first million, I learned to let things go and focused more on living quality. Haven't mastered it yet but it helped with anxiety.

I found out online some newer cars have the front cross traffic alert like 2020+ mazda 3: https://www.mazdausa.com/static/manuals/2020/mazda3_v2/contents/05283401.html Other brands also have it (some Korean, audio, Lexus, bmw). If one doesn't want to change cars, then a pair of front cameras...

All of Chris Nolan's films (including Tenet) have stupidly loud bass background sound (more of a noise than the music from my perspective) and wash out any conversation you may want to hear. He should be more confident of his directing skills and stop using the cheap sound tactic to create the...

One of my friends recently got into a fender bender. It is a typical case. She was exiting the shopping plaza into a two lane road. The car in the lane closer to the exit stopped to let her go, she could not see the other car from the other lane that she will merge into (she is short and her...

Just keep your expense in check. Some doctors worked so hard they they use spending as a emotional release. Try live like you are still a student, save and invest constantly. Plan the places you wish to travel after you are fully retired. I will likely be able to retire on 2035 but I have...

Sell them as fast as you can. All android phones are on the borrowed time. When the company you decides not to spend resources on patching the software (both security and android system), they become orphans in a couple more years. The sooner you sell them the better value you get. I had a moto...

Frankly Built youtuber just did a recommendation video for the starter printers at several price range st https://youtu.be/DQ1VJCMMlXA I have an ender 3 v2. Did some lightweight house improvement projects with it ( remote motorized casement window opener was the most recent one ) and some toy...

I used to have hello mobile, $5/mo no contract for unlimited voice and text, and 500MB 5G data. It is their regular plan. They use sprint now is t-mobile. Then I switched to tracfone / verizon when I upgraded my phone. Was thinking to go back to hello after unlocking my phone after 60 days but...

I would stay away from DIY camera repair, especially for the ones with the built-in flash. I got zapped twice and no one but myself to blame. The label fix is genius. Maybe use the cyanoacrylate based glue (crazy glue) will make the print stick better? With the nail polish on top, it is not...

I never bothered to be at the store on Black Fridays ever. This year I went a step further: did not do any online shopping this week. There is nothing I need and my storage has enough holiday gifts for the next two years. Before visiting my sister's family (part of the post-Thanksgiving...

The thermostat is adjusted from 60 to 55 degrees and I have purchased a heating mattress pad. Instead of keeping the whole house warm, the cheaper choice is to just keep my bed warm before I go to bed. I bundle up during the day and raise the temperature to 58 degree.
