Almost every scam email I get comes from a gmail address. If a business is not sending emails from their own domain, I automatically assume it's a scam.

You can always use Jellyfin or Kodi with your old Fire TV and get your Netflix shows elsewhere.

It is being pushed beyond its ratings, so there's no guarantees that it will work. There's no harm in trying Cat5e at higher speeds if it's already installed, but don't install it with the intention of using it at more than 2.5G.

It's impressive that they got the power consumption down to less than 2 watts. I think this is the first 10GBASE-T NIC I've seen that doesn't have a heatsink on it.

Heat makes lithium ion batteries fail much quicker. A non rechargeable lithium AA would last a long time and they don't leak like alkaline batteries.

Gas valves and igniters don't even need much power. They could put a battery in there so it could be used when the power is out. My propane fireplace runs for years on 4 AA batteries and that's powering the receiver for the remote too.

Why do they need an app instead of just using cell tower data? I guess you just take a flip phone then.

with one poster claiming to have received almost $1,800 this week for a TV returned to the retailer in 2018.

Wow, I would have filed a charge back and deleted my account if Amazon did that to me.

If they move to Discord, nobody will ever be able to find the answers. They must use a website that is indexable by search engines or it will be pointless.

I hate thin laptops. The screens flex when you open them and feel like they are going to break and they don't have enough connectors.

You can get industrial grade CF cards that use SLC memory. They have much better write endurance than normal CF cards.

It's got enough power for a retro game emulator.
