I went this route too, but didn't cut the cord, so I added a Ceton cablecard tuner, so for a additional initial cost plus a $2/month cablecard fee, I have a full featured DVR using Windows Media Center, which is surprisingly usable and stable.

I just updated the PB app in my Android 4.1 phone. Now there's a Notification Mirroring Service in my accessibility settings. I enabled it. The phone notifications started popping in my Windows PC (running the Windows PB beta client). So I guess is not really an Android 4.3 exclusive feature, even though I can't…

Am I the only one who read that headline as "10 Commandments of Dying"? Just me? okay.

Go to your Amazon Prime account page and check the renewal date there. I got an email with the wrong year.

Just like BBSki, the email I got said my membership would renew on Nov 2015. Another year at the same price? Not so fast! When I go to my account page at Amazon it says Nov 2014. I guess the email was wrong for some.

"Batman & Rabin" ~I always wanted to read the thrilling adventures of the caped crusader and his sidekick, the former Prime Minister of Israel!

I will add that if you have DRM-protected movies —like Ultraviolet downloads. for example— WMC and Windows Media Player are the only options to play them. Plus DRM works fine with a remote.

I found a less intrusive (for me) solution, using Android Dropbox Notifications.

My only resolution so far is to do my best to remember to put a "4" at the end of dates.

In my case, I only get those with my monthly shipment. They usually add a button for "I need it right away" but that is the same as a non-subscription order.

Sometimes an add-on item may also offer a subscribe-and-save option. If so, and you don't mind waiting a bit for the item (they only ship those once a month), you can "subscribe" to the item and they will ship it to you without having to add anything to the order —and with a small extra discount! After you receive…

Am I the only one who can comfortably sleep on top of a pile of freshly cleaned clothes?

AMEN,

Any time, right after I read Lifehacker.

Actually, you can use Tasker to automate any number of Wake-On-LAN apps on Android.

Is there any way to do push notifications to my PC with Pushover? There's an android app called Desktop Notifications but it only works one-way, and it needs a browser extension. I'd rather have a systray app that pops the notifications as Windows balloons or via Snarl/Growl.

If have a few SD USB adapters, an old hub and cables, you could do it with a Raspberry Pi, like in this example: RAID Pi . You could add some old thumb drives if you wanted. Add Samba and you have a slow but usable NAS.

Why not make them into a DIY RAID drive array? You could have 4, 6, or 8 SD cards combined into a single virtual drive, and it would be a good way to use smaller cards. Probably not cost efficient, depending of the adapters used (a 2-card SATA adapter goes for about $20 in Amazon) but it would be a fun project.
