Nope - not even remotely. Just using them as an example of the brand-forward approach from so many companies like this. I mention to some other commenters explicitly this point though - Apple makes absolutely nothing of their own, which is another reason why blind loyalty to them is silly - or blind loyalty to most…

He suckered you in hook like and sinker with that comment. He was obviously baiting for just this response. I didn’t think anyone would actually fall for it.

You forgot to read the *ducks* part. He’s trolling!

My secret is having only one. And then getting a vasectomy.

I think being a victim is a state of mind and others can sense it .... I know people that are just magnets for trouble, it seems like problematic people are drawn to them. On the other hand I’ve traveled extensively for living, have always lived in big cities, never had a problem ...

I came this post with the intention of posting similar to what you just did.

Great topic and the key thing to remember with suggestions about parenting is that parenting isn’t fair because the kids are all different. I only have one kid so my suggestions seem to have worked for my kid but ymmv.

I don’t see how that one could possibly backfire.

Precheck is AMAZING and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The shorter line alone is more than enough to make it worth it if you fly more than once or twice a year.

These are important points to note and I feel like #2 should be addressed in the Lifehacker article. An Android device still can be on JB/Kit Kat/Lollipop but have a majority of the new features released alongside subsequent versions of Android (i.e. Android Wear, Nearby, Android Pay, Smart Lock for Passwords, Android…

Oh I know it won’t be perfect, I am under no illusions. I have an iPad 3 and my daughter has an iPod Touch. With kids and a busy work life I am tired of taking crappy photos, tired of working on ADB to try and make Android what it should be, and tired of phone manufacturers ignoring their users (seriously Moto? The…

it’s more about picking and choosing which features you want running. Some of this stuff could be seen as annoying to privacy-centric people, and I know more than a few people who are turned off by the new keyboard for... some reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I normally do this, though not with raw meat. Another trick is to fill the sink with water and submerge a ziplock up to the zipper, then seal.

There are plenty of low cost 3d printers that work just fine for around that price delivered.

“...like it or not, is still the most popular selling of them all.”

As a professor, I find this insulting. I go out of my way to use open source textbooks that students get at cost of printing or free for the ebook. Not all professors are there to do research only. I care very much about my students and the cost of materials. I switched to open source texts after I read an article…

You mean a dishwasher? That does a pretty great job for me.

Easy, fast and inexpensive if you are going to paint the finished piece. If you are going to stain it, be warned that the stain will not “take” the same way it does on the bare wood.

Wait, what? *rereads headline*

You can use the service menu to turn that off. Something like MENU button on remote + 0000, go to “Others” then turn off “4Hours Auto Standby”
