Ah, good old voodoo economics. That worked out so well for the wealthy, I can see why they want to bring it back ... middle and lower class folks be damned. I was fully expecting him to pull a George W. and send people “refund” checks. It is 100% clear why wealthy people voted for Trump - but why his middle and lower…

#1 (Better But Bitter) - two words: RESTRAINING ORDER. Seriously ... SERIOUSLY! What you describe is far beyond “crazy”. I hope you are saving screenshots and keeping notes on everything this guy says and does with you, because it sounds like he is one more bad choice away from you having to call the police to protect…

+1 for PIA. I’ve been using it for about 3 years, based on a previously recommendation from Lifehacker. Very easy to use and has been solid for me. Though, as others have said, more and more content sites (Netflix, BBC, etc.) have black-listed their IP addresses so you can’t access those sites. This is not just a PIA…

We can’t know for sure, but I actually think Trump does know he’s lying, he just doesn’t care. He doesn’t have any moral anguish around truth and lies. It’s all about serving whatever ends he is trying to accomplish, and lying for him is a perfectly acceptable way to do that.

I am absolutely no fan of trump, but I don’t see him getting impeached. He is too “smart” and powerful - smart in the sense of knowing how to play the media game, and powerful in the sense that the Republican party needs him in the presidency to try and push as much of their agenda through as they can; so even if they…

Netflix is not stupid, but I simply can’t understand why they limit or cripple certain aspects of their system. Why can’t I sort or search on MPAA rating (G, PG, R, etc.) anywhere on the site? And this move to a thumbs up/down just further limits the amount of information I have to interact with their system. It’s…

I have cleaned many a toilet and lived with all sorts of people, including women, that also clean toilets. I have never seen this done and it never occurred to me to do it. Crazy. It always amuses me which of these lifehacker tips seem ridiculously obvious to me and which I have managed to reach middle age without…

In my experience, the weakest part of these cheaper safes is the lock. I understand they are not meant for theft protection, but I had the locks on three of them break from normal usage within a year of purchase. I decided that if I stayed with the cheaper ones I would eventually end up spending a lot of money to…

I echo what everyone is saying about Hangouts. It seems like a no-brainer from the end user perspective to have a truly unified messaging app that handles, IM, SMS, MMS and voice messaging. For one contact I could see a historical stream of all the various messages we’ve exchanged, regardless of type or protocol. I’m…

Odd that two sites that I follow post the same question on the same afternoon.

Crap, I fell for it again. Why do I always read these types of articles thinking that I’m going to find the magic solution to making myself a morning person? My internal clock is just not wired to make me a morning person, and my attempts to rewire it, based on countless articles, have been very temporary and…

Every night?! To each their own, but that seems like a lot of dishwasher running. My family of 3 runs ours twice a week, and it seems like we use a fair amount of dishes in addition to tupperware containers for lunches. If you need to do that, fine, but try to be mindful of conserving water (and electricity/gas) when…

Steelie, folks. Google it. It rocks.

If you know how to make Outlook work like this, please share your secrets. I would pay. I’ve got the GTD Outlook add-in (no longer being developed), but it’s no where near as usable as this. The drag/drop, big text, in-line editing and uncluttered interface set it apart for me.

This is insanely impressive. It seems to work very well, even as a beta. I’m waiting to see if I can get the mobile app beta to test it. If someone could build this for Outlook (which I am forced to use for work) I think I would lose my mind with gratitude.

Anything that can be porn-ified will succeed. I predict that VR will succeed with this model, though in the same way that people rarely talk about what a huge part of the internet porn is. That, and early-adopter gamers and the tech cycle will eventually bring the price down a bit.

Yes indeed. I’m a long-time Lastpass user. I never use the vault. I use the browser plugins (mainly Chrome) and the Android app. I continue to see an increase in the number of login screens that it doesn’t manage properly, often requiring me to resort to copy/paste to login.

This seems to be a redone post, given the 2/2015 comments about the dress. For current times, I will add that I’ve been having good luck with the Chrome extension “Unspoiler”. It’s a keyword blocker that will put a red banner over content on a web page that contains the keyword you specify (e.g., “Star Wars”). It…

Why you would not start with a web administration platform, rather than iOS, for what is essentially a router, is beyond me, but good luck to them.
