    question Which Tablets

    I always thought the Kindle too small, so I was trying bigger tablets. I'm trying a few, and keeping the one we like. SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G 2021 (64GB, 4GB) 12.4” Android Tablet, All Day Battery, Snapdragon 750 5G/LTE/WiFi (GSM Unlocked for AT&T, T-Mobile, Global) SM-T738U (w/S-Pen...

    question Which Tablets

    Main interest is putting books, through Amazon, and Kindle, on the Fire. How does it work for that? So far the two books I put on it where a bit more work then they should be. Also seems Kindle only wants the books downloaded to one divice, or they want to charge.

    question Which Tablets

    Just compared the Fire to the Kindle. She likes the bigger, much fewer page changes of the the Fire, with the same size text. Plus all the other stuff she can do with it. So now I need to figure out when to get the bigger one.

    question Which Tablets

    RESURRECTION: My roommate loves to read. She has a Kindle, but they all seem to be 7" screens. Plus the controls aren't exactly user friendly. The library has a site we can pull up books, and if avaliable, go to Amazon Prime, and download them for 3 weeks for free. I was looking for a bigger...

    Strange network performance behavior troubleshooting

    Sort of the same issue: I've tested, and concluded the motherboard has Bluetooth issues. Does anyone have any suggestions for a PCIe card that would work with 11, and is capable of picking up my speaker system's Bluetooth signal? The speaker system is NOT the issue. Connects VERY quickly to my...

    Thank you. I did do a clean install, from a Disc, so is the Norton s...t on the disk, or is it coming in on the upgrade? Think maybe the later?

    OK. I hate Steam. Trying to put my old stuff on this computer, and 11, didn't really work. Haven't figured out what software screwed it up yet, but I will. Any suggestions? or how to set it up so it gives me information I can do something, based on it?

    Up to date Malware Removal

    So the computer wouldn't start. Then, it did it's own auto repair, which I had never seen before, and it's up. Of course a Norton 360 add came up, and since I'd already deleted Norton, I was wondering how it got back on the computer? upgrade for Windows 11 brought it? So I deleted it, again...

    Found the F8 and F10 switches either were 2 prong, and didn't fit, or came out, and one of the prongs was bent. Fixed that. Helped big time in reinstall. Appears a third part driver is causing problems, but, so far the WhoCrashed log is limited, and doesn't name the crashed driver. Changed the...

    Update on desktop. The keyboard, Nu Phy Halo 96 V2 wireless keyboard with Kalih BOX Navy switches, Canopus Shine-through -Black/Halo V2/ Field HE/ Gem, has a flat kind of wrist rest. Seems OK. Did get two bad switches, that happened to go into F8 And F10 slots. Not a good thing. Fixed those, and...

    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    Update: Left hand is working well. Surgery is being scheduled on the right. Thumb hurts, getting to can't sleep level of pain. Had to rethink all the 'wrist rests' that put pressure on the area that your hands are operated on, and the area that creates CTS.

    Second Keyboard is this: with mint 37 switches, that feel REALLY soft, after the Box Navy switches. Still, for RM, she likes them, and I put the Canopus Shine caps on the board, which is what she liked about my board, so she's happy.

    I think it is overpriced, but I don't know an alternative to the Canopus Shine throughs. I LOVE the caps. For old people with bad sight, it's unbeatable, at least I haven't found anything yet. My RM/fiance has a cheap keyboard, and I'm going to get her a keyboard with the caps, and lighter...

    Nuphy 96 V2 is, I think, WAY over priced at 224.00. The caps it comes with you cant get light through, and the switches are very cheap, but, they feel good.

    Funny. Gas is the only viable way to cheaply transport products in the US, period. Unless we come up with an incredible new, lightweight battery technology, it's going to stay that way. The weight of the batteries, and the charging time, make it a prohibitive expense to add to production costs...

    Bidenomics cut the value of my social security by at least 60% in 4 years. It's going to take Trump's actions awhile to lower costs. You can't drill, and ship oil instantly. Trump has a history of threatening tariffs to leverage and get what he really wants. Trumps' inflation was 1/4th per year...
