Haha! Poor Hyundai had to give my Santa Fe a new engine last year. Bad bunch of luck for them... 

Wait - the police union hq has a bar and restaurant? At a building everyone most likely will be driving to and from? Essentially meaning that almost every drink served there results in a cop driving home under the influence? Classy...

Brondell Swash SE600 - regularly on Woot for $279 making it at least $200 cheaper than the closest Toto. This model Brondell has the usual cleaning along with dryer, night light and deodorizer. I had a Toto before this model but after a few years of use, it was starting to break apart :(

Sonos Beam. It is the first soundbar I’ve had that always works. For some reason, manufacturers just never seem to have managed to make one that is 100% wife approved. My previous Samsung would power off after 10 minutes (apparently to conform to some EU energy law), which meant pausing Netflix would mean I’d need to…

Check out this not so funny review of the institute:

I lost my mother to it, so yeah - it is bad. :(

Same here. It may be a perfect mouse for a world full of righties, but for those of us who are lefties, it really sucks Logitech abandoned us.

It really, really isn’t. I had a Nest since pre-release, and have found Ecobee to be much more robust. Better Wi-Fi, better features, easier to use interface etc... Too many issues with power as well - another thing Ecobee is better at thanks to its include power booster kit.

I almost jumped on this, but I can’t get over the low-res screen :(

The photos show a pretty large plastic or rubber pad on the sides and bottom, so unless you are really, really drunk, I don’t think scratches are a problem.

FWIW; this charger does NOT have the capacity to charge the Chromebook Pixel or the Razer Blade Stealth. Great little charger, just has a bit of a power limit on the USB C port. Anker advertises its 29W output, but never mentions the output voltage.

So funny. We listen to a week of Google talking about AI, assistant technology and smart learning computers they’ve built from scratch - yet they still can’t get their shit together when it comes to YouTube.

Given that most of these use MicroUSB, a direct wire option really isn’t too hard. This $14 cable is what I used for my Garmin Dashcam: http://www.amazon.com/Compact-Hardwi…

I'm on an AA flight now, and the power is regular (car style) DC, not EmPower. AFAIK, only some BA and United flights still use Empower.

You overlook one very minor fact - it costs upwards of $300,000 to install satellite internet on a plane. I will never understand people who demand it for free when the airlines (or provider behind the service) invested 100's of millions to put it there. Someone has to pay for it, and unless the airline coughed up the…

Never asked for sympathy. I'm venting because the company promised a feature, then said "sorry, coming in December", then said "sorry, coming early 2013". I'm tired of companies using customers as beta testers.

Use my PC to watch what? There is no way to watch recordings off TiVo with a PC. You can transfer them, but you can't just start streaming them.

Fucking Nintendo. TiVo functionality was one of main reasons I was one of the few idiots to drop $349 on this thing. It wasn't there at launch but would be there in December, and now that too turns out to be BS. Total disappointment in this thing.

Don't tell my wife, but I'm getting her the Lego Super Star Destroyer. This will complete her set. Yes, she is a grown woman with all the Lego Star Wars models. I'm an awesome husband.
