I have 4 of the Seagate 3tb drives.  Two were returned under warranty after dying in less than a year.  Right now, 3 of the 4 are dead (including the replacements).  No longer under warranty.  The 4th is on it's last leg. The warranty return process was really easy, but now they're out of...

Just upgraded from Symbian to Windows Phone 8.1.  I'll update to Windows 10 when it's available (out of beta).

I've been using AnyDVD HD for years, for both DVDs and Blu-Ray.  Works great, but not free.  Looks like it's about $106 now (close to what I paid for it in 2010). I ripped all my DVDs and Blu-Rays and then processed them with HandBrake into x264 mkv files and put them on a network share.  It...

I do use VPN for normal browsing and almost everything, except certain services and online shopping where they'd expect my home IP address. Network connectivity/routing is usually better through the VPN for me.  Some routes perform better than others, so I use a VPN that has the best routing...

I've got 2 Crissic VPSs (Florida & Los Angeles) that I use a lot.  Do you think they'll allow existing customers to renew services at the same prices?  Does anybody have a service expiring soon that they'll be trying to renew? My next renewal doesn't come until March and the other one I just...

Your Obihai devices should still work with Google Voice, if you want to use them.  They might need firmware updates, but the phase-out was a false alarm.  I think Obihai updated them to work with oauth.

I've used Callcentric for years, and can recommend them.  You can use them with an ATA, IP phone, softphone, and they have an app you can use with a cellphone as well.

Not everything needs to be encrypted, and websites are faster without it.  What they're doing is lame.

I use bitpay all the time as a customer paying for goods or services.  They don't add any fees, though they probably make a little on the spread between the buy/sell price.

The computer stays on all the time.  I just turn the monitor off at night or if I'm going out. It's uploading weather data 24/7, and I'm often playlatering some show or movie, or encoding video with Handbrake. I also have secondary rsync backups that backup all my servers to my home in the...

My gmail is forwarded to my main email account and deleted.  I don't like to keep any email on servers;  I keep it and back it up locally.

You can get PlayOn & PlayLater and record the movies and shows off Netflix and Hulu, and other streaming sites.  Then you can watch it whenever you want, even if it gets pulled off later. There's also unblock.us and similar dns services, so you can watch from multiple different regions (with...

I've been running a Davis VantageVue weather station for the last 3 years.  I don't upload the data to the weather underground, but I've got it on my own website (sfcweather.com).

I don't like it, but it isn't usually a problem for me since I clear my browser cache and cookies (including flash cookies) at least daily.

The Topping brand is Chinese, but I understand they use good quality components.  The amp is usually around $100. It's popular because it uses a Tripath chip for the amp (class T), which is supposed to have smooth tube-like qualities, and also uses little power. I'm using it as an amp for my...

I have a Topping TP30 USB amplifier for my system that uses a Burr Brown PCM2704 DAC.

You can also just type "ip" into google, or even startpage or duckduckgo.

Is there still a way to clear the new posts, after viewing the new content?

I've used the free version of monitor.us for many years.  I haven't really noticed false positives, but there was a time it seemed like they were using stale dns entries.
