This one’s a lot of fun!
You connect your Android phone or tablet with a USB cable to your PC. You expect to be able to browse the files on your phone, or transfer photos/video.
Nope! Nuttin’. Nada. ZILCH.
It worked before, so what happened? Better yet, how do you fix it?!
Despite the prevalence of touch devices these days, chances are you still have an “old fashioned” computer with a keyboard.
Many keyboards are very quiet and comfortable to type on, but they don’t last very long. Enter the Gaming Keyboard!
It’s old school durability and reliability meets modern tech.
Only trouble is, these things are SUPER noisy to type on… Or at least, they were super noisy.
Behold the world’s most silent gaming keyboard!
Everyone knows about keyboard and mice… But the foot pedal?! What the heck?
Surprisingly enough, it turns out that they’re not so expensive and very easy to set up – if you use the right software.
Speaking of software, it’s exactly because of NCH’s Pedable application that this thing is so incredibly useful.
You can use your foot to do 3 (or even 6) different things – including in games!
Foot pedals aren’t just for translators and transcribers…
Printing in color has been a total nightmare as long as I can remember.
If it wasn’t the initial cost, it was expensive replacement parts for a color laser printer. Then toner cartridge price went through the roof.
And let’s forget the dreaded “laser line” problem that often happens even with brand new toner…
Thankfully, there IS a solution: “Business-Class” Inkjets!
While technically these may have been around for awhile, it’s only recently that they seem to have taken their rightful place as the color printing solution of choice for the masses.
Who doesn’t love a shiny, clean screen?
Smudges and fingerprints are just seriously annoying.
But what’s the best way to clean the screen on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or TV?
Well, there’s one thing you do NOT want to do – as I discovered in a moment of temporary insanity.
The rest depends on a variety of factors…
So you want to prevent Dirty Electricity, but you don’t want to spend a fortune on filters? No problem!
With a few tools and some parts, you can DIY your own DE filters that perform just as well as pre-made Greenwave or Stetzerizer filters.
I made 14 additional filters and saved a TON of money.
Just be aware that you should probably have some experience soldering and working with 120/240V AC equipment.
Raw materials, parts, even cardboard – everything’s in short supply these days!
So, what do you do when your alternator is dying and you can’t even find a new one?
Why, you repair it yourself!
While it may seem like this is way beyond your ability, it turns out it’s not so difficult.
With a few tips and a bit of patience and persistence, you can DIY your alternator back into like-new working condition!
If you’ve ever designed a web site, you know that the ‘dev tools’ built into browsers are invaluable.
You can play with the CSS, debug JavaScript, see requests in realtime, and so on.
That’s all great for desktop, but what about debugging on mobile?
Typically, developers jump through all sorts of hoops – including hacks in their code that are added strictly for development debugging.
Isn’t there a better way? Why yes, there is…
While everyone is paying the most attention to wireless tech like 5G, dirty electricity is often completely overlooked.
In short, all our wondrous gizmos generate noise that couples to the human body from the electrical wiring in our homes, schools, places of work, and so on.
What effects does this dirty electricity have? Well, it ain’t pretty.
Fortunately, there are simple filters you can get that reduce the dangers from this type of noise.
Join me for a look at DE – and get clean power!
Chrome 94 was recently released with a new feature: Idle Detection.
Specifically, there’s a new JavaScript API called IdleDetector. It reports two things to the JS code of the web page you’re viewing: keyboard/mouse activity, and if your screen is locked or not.
Much has been said about the diabolical nature of this new capability in Chrome…
Thing is, while we can be forgiven for doubting Google’s motives in adding this feature, it just so happens that Idle Detection is actually quite safe – and useful!
