Wait, software tied to hardware (e.g. Soundblaster software) that isn't available on their website?

You basically cannot build a DIY laptop. There are too many proprietary components in order to fit it in a mobile chassis - virtually everything in a laptop is custom produced for that particular model of laptop, outside of the CPU/memory/hard drive (and on some laptops, those can be soldered into the board).

In RE: the drivers, the easiest thing to do is just download the latest drivers before you start building, such as on your old machine or work machine or whatever. Slap 'em on a USB drive, and you're ready to install right out of the gate. That prevents you from having to fiddle around in the middle of your build.

Photography is a good travel hobby if you've got any kind of artistic inclination. A camera is easily portable to take with you, it can combine some athletic activity such as hiking or just long walks. Many communities have local photography groups, either discoverable online or by looking up a local photo shop.

I always thought the LastPass UI was just terrible.

I missed the "with" in the title and thought it was an entirely different sort of article.

I don't think I'm confusing anything. I am saying that, almost unequivocally, the last title is true - not a myth.

While I agree with some of these things, I think there's a balance to be struck. You can very easily bury yourself in the pursuit of not spending money, missing out on a lot of enjoyment in life.

Has anyone else experienced problems with Dolphin Connect?

Yes, I'm a G+ user... that's why I was surprised. It's definitely inheriting from another setting somewhere along the way. I'm in the US, too, so it's not country-specific.

Interesting, I was already opted-out despite never having changed the setting. There must be some carry-over from another privacy setting that I have turned on, which defaulted this one to being off.

Tangentially related: Last time I moved, I went to a Supercuts. I get my hair clipped 1/2" back and sides, 3/4" on top.

Not a major disservice. Just look at it this way:

Well, obviously I would hope people could recognize money doesn't earn interest unless it's in an interest bearing account.

If you want to be really savvy, you should not be paying off your credit cards weekly. No payments until on or around the due date.

I use mine for work. It's not a critical part of my day-to-day job, but it's a convenient way to check and respond to email, read documents, etc. It's especially nice when traveling, so I don't have to lug a laptop with a power brick - instead I just take my tablet with a tiny BT keyboard, and my USB charger which I'd…

If you download and install Secure Settings, it will appear in the "Plugin" section of Tasker when you add a condition. You must install the Secure Settings Helper and be rooted (open the Secure Settings app and the option to download and install the helper is there).

I didn't say anything about the non-tipped staff.

I don't disagree that others should share in the tips (though the others are getting livable wages), just that the idea of dumping every server's tips into a pool and sharing it out among all the servers isn't really a good way to do it. There's nothing unfair about a hot waitress getting tipped because she's hot,…

For efficiency's sake, I never got around to it but you could probably use a counting variable for all of the various safe conditions. E.g. during every safe event, you add 1 to a %safetotal variable, then during each exit you subtract one - and the lock screen kicks in when the %safetotal hits zero. It's not as…
