    Dell’s new dock wirelessly charges your phone while supporting two 4K monitors

    460 USD ?! Really?! What did they do, take a page out of Apple's Pricing Book?

    Massive outage brought down most Apple services like iCloud and iMessage

    Love the picture from Twitter of Apple Store employees having to result to paper and pencil. Especially love to see the reality of Apple products "in use" -- look at all those cords and accessories plugged in or dangling here and there.... THAT'S something you'll NEVER see in an Apple...

    A big bet to kill the password for good

    What I hate about passwords across multiple devices (Mac computer vs iPhone or similar device) is that what is easy to type in one device (Mac keyboard) is difficult or rendered quite differently on iPhone or any iDevice, and then there's that a-b-c-d-e grid that every TV streaming service seems...

    Amazon completes MGM merger, will add studio’s films and TV to Prime Video

    I hope this means that Turner Classic Movies (also part of the MGM-UA-Warner Bros collection) becomes part of Amazon Prime Video. It seems to be the most difficult, standalone streaming service that is ONLY available as an "add-on" to another streaming/satellite/cable package. I think there...

    OAN sues AT&T, says being kicked off DirecTV may force it to shut down

    Oh, boo-hoo-hoo..... "Cry me a river..."

    Router and modem rental fees still a major annoyance despite new US law

    Well, here's yet another reason why I love Google Fiber. Besides getting 1GB speeds (download) and no ceiling cap (all for $70 a month), they will provide me with their latest updated server/router if asked. No problems. No extra fees. Don't ask me how they escape all those city and state...

    US biofuel mandate likely increased carbon emissions, inflated crop prices 20–30%

    For me, "Corn Ethanol" has always been one of those "Duh!" issues. Way way way way back in 1980, it was offered in my state as an alternative to Big Bad Regular 85 Octane Gasoline. It cost more than Premium and it didn't improve the MPG on my 1979 Toyota SR-5 pickup. And then came winter...

    Four fast chargers every 50 miles—US unveils EV infrastructure plan

    Every 50 miles, eh? Obviously, no one in DC has driven I-15 from Barstow, CA to Las Vegas, NV, through the Mojave Desert, where there is an occasional sign, "Next exit 60 miles" [etc]. Or driven US Hwy 50 or 6 through the middle of Nevada .... one is dubbed the "Loneliest Highway in America"...

    Peloton launches a $90 forearm-worn heart-rate monitor with LED indicators

    As necessary to your life as Apple's ridiculously overpriced Cleaning Cloth for their extra-special / super-duper / secretly coated screens.

    Explaining QD-OLED, Samsung’s display tech that’s wowing CES

    I bought a 50-inch QN90A in October 2021 (why, only three months ago). I researched every tech article and review I could find online, trying to find what CNET used to publish (but for some legal reasons won't anymore): the defining settings to make your LED, OLED, or whatever LCD TV look its...

    Was 1980 the worst automotive year ever?

    Cadillac also had an X-car, the Cadillac Cimarron -- essentially the Chevrolet Citation but with different body trim. Many owners in L.A. (Lost Angeles, 1982) took to modifying their Cimarron with a new hood and trunk that resembled the then-popular Cadillac Seville's rip-off of the Rolls Royce...

    Locked out of “God mode,” runners are hacking their treadmills

    The problem here is iFit, the company. It's headquarters is Logan, Utah (well, technically West Logan, a spin-off). I used to own the original NordicTrack skier that was made in Minnesota. After getting a good 5–6 years out of it (and losing many, many pounds in the process, because the skier...

    Rittenhouse trial judge disallows iPad pinch-to-zoom: Read the bizarre transcript

    I don't know who is the bigger jerk -- Rittenhouse or the dumb ol' judge who needs to retire. Even Judge Judy could do better. The guy's gonna walk.

    Smartmatic sues OANN, Newsmax over claims it rigged voting machines for Biden

    Hey, Peter Thiel, why don't you use your Evil Money Empire and instead of going after some website that publicly announces a well-known Silicon Valley fact ("You're gay, honey, you're gay! And everybody knows it!"), why don't you help some bit of Humanity and Decency and use your lawsuit slush...

    AT&T is partly responsible for rise of One America News Network, report alleges

    I've got to dump AT&T mobile (I quit DirecTV when they bought it), but I'm in a triangular dead spot between 3 towers. I've tried other carriers, with the same results. I haven't given Verizon a chance yet, but.... jeez, it's such a hassle to switch carriers just to see if their coverage is...

    Unvaccinated are 5X more likely to catch delta, 11X more likely to die

    Until der Leader der Knumbskull & His Merry Band of Idiots say so, this is just going to get worse. And even if he does find time to leave that party at Margo-a-go-go for one nano-second and admit he was wrong (! oh my God, the Emporer has no clothes !) I doubt that will change anyone in my...

    Misaligned factory robot may have sparked Chevy Bolt battery fires

    Bolt.... Volt.... Bolt.... Volt.... Which one is the electric car? Is one a hybrid? I thought Chevrolet and GM was going to stop selling sedans. Or maybe that was Ford. Or somebody. (shrugs)
