    Suggest a wireless mouse for fingertip grip

    It's one of the heavier mice. I just got a Razer Orochi v2, and it's perfect for fingertip grip. Only weighs 72g. The G602 was over 125g so not great for fingertip grip.

    That is my current mouse and too big/heavy for fingertip grip unfortunately.

    Suggest a wireless mouse for fingertip grip

    Hello, I've been looking for suggestions. I would like it to be wireless and hopefully have 5 buttons minimum for RPG games (left-click, right-click, and 3 other buttons minimum). No budget but keep it reasonable around $100-120. Is there anything out there like this?? I currently use G602, but...

    Best Texting for Android, Free

    I appreciate the detailed response! 1) I don't think it's possible to convince anyone to switch from iMessage lol. With all the issues I have with Apple/ios (namely them being opposed to open source), I think they do a good job with iMessage. If Android had iMessage, I would probably use that...

    Best Texting for Android, Free

    Well, three things.. 1) I want the ability to backup my texts & media. Case in point - I lost all images people sent me through texts over last few years when I switched phones two months ago. I don't like strict local storage because if I switch phones or change texting apps, I would lose all...

    Best Texting for Android, Free

    I just installed Signal.. I'm not sure if Signal backs up messages in an easy-to-reach manner since I don't think the texts get hosted on their servers. There is also a 300kb limit on MMS, which is pretty limiting if you ask me. Has anyone tried Pulse? Hearing good stuff about it too

    Whatever happened to removable batteries?

    There were quite a few such locked things installed on my samsung - especially garbage apps like facebook, instagram, etc (about 6-7 different garbage apps taking up needless space) that I couldn't remove, only disable. I did data transfer with app transfer so all of those apps ended up on my...

    Whatever happened to removable batteries?

    I ended up going with Pixel 3 (non-XL). Verizon had $200 off, and I traded my Galaxy s6 for $80.. I like Pixel 3 -- much better software than Samsung. Pixel has so much less bloatware garbage installed compared to Samsung.. Jeez, no idea why Samsung installs so much garbage on their phones...

    Screen protector for pixel 3?

    I bought Pixel 3 early in the week and ordered a case/tempered-glass screen protector off Amazon. Case is good but screen protector doesn't cover full screen. I see both sides cut off a bit.. I tried protector for couple days, and it's driving me nuts. I decided I'm done with it. I went on...

    What phone should I get at Verizon this weekend?

    Aren't there hardware issues too? Especially with the LG screen on pixel 3 (non-XL version). I came across lots of posts of people complaining and it made me bit nervous about going for pixel 3. As for XL version, I don't feel the XL is worth $150 more tbh, but the Samsung screen on it is...

    Whatever happened to removable batteries?

    Reason is simple: $$$$. It's all about maximizing profits, and we know batteries tend to be the primary limiting factor to the life of a phone. If you sack the ability to replace batteries without a complex process, the average person will automatically go buy new phone when their phone stops...

    Whatever happened to removable batteries?

    I'm sorry but those reasons are not good enough. Batteries have gotten small enough that simple engineering would easily overcome first issue and second issue is design dependable. Engineering would require bit more capital to include removable battery & still be ip-rated, but easy solution...

    Whatever happened to removable batteries?

    V20 only goes to Android 8. Would that be okay? It's up to Android 9 now, and I'm sure it will continue. Interesting, I didn't know that about LG. I might look into that. As for opening sealed phones, it depends I guess. Some are easier to replace batteries in than others.

    Whatever happened to removable batteries?

    I guess it's disappointing.. All phones seem to now have 1yr warranty as well because I feel like they know batteries start to plummet in performance within 2yrs. And that's when people have to go buy new 600$ phone. Most won't be tech savvy enough to realize they need battery replacement and...

    Whatever happened to removable batteries?

    Hello, I have a Galaxy s6 since like 2015. Within 2yrs, the battery started to quickly deteriorate. I began having to recharge constantly to the point that I was using powerbank just to use the phone. It has been my habit for many years to read an ebook while listening to music, but every...

    Ethernet switch & IP addresses

    Hi, I have an Nvidia shield and computer in same room. I only have 1 eternet cable coming from an ASUS AC-68U router. I get weak wifi in this room so I want to put both Shield and my computer on wire. To do that, I plan on buying a regular 5 port unmanaged eternet switch. Each of the 2...

    PureVPN Hands Over IPs to FBI to Catch Cyberstalker

    The thought was don't buy an American vpn with jurisdiction here. Unfortunately, I believe PureVPN is located in Hong Kong so that thought goes out the window. The only thing remaining if you want complete privacy is to get a vpn that collects no logs of any kind at all whatsoever. There are...

    Setting VPN on single band - RT-AC68U

    I guess another possibility is creating another separate network and running that network through vpn.. I don't know if it can be done on same router though.. What about with dd-wrt? Do you know if it's possible with dd-wrt?

    Setting VPN on single band - RT-AC68U

    Hello, I have AC68U set using both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands. Now I wanted only 1 of those 2 bands to use VPN (either band is fine). For example, I want all the devices connected to 2.4ghz band to run through VPN, and all devices connected to 5ghz to run without VPN (just an example - it doesn't...

    iPhone X: Apple Unveils the “Future of the Smartphone” for $999

    $1000 phones is a gimmick - Just a moneygrab for Apple, and I'm sure Samsung will follow right along in a year or so. I'm good with my galaxy s6. I have only bought 2 smartphones in my life - galaxy s4 mini and galaxy s6. My s4 mini lasted 3yrs, and I got good deal on galaxy s6 afterwards. I'm...

    Music storage

    I'm in the process of getting my music collection from Amazon prime into mp3. It is very difficult to do it from amazon music because you can't copy/paste song titles directly from program or web app. You have to right click, inspect and copy/paste title from inspect into text file manually...

    Elon Musk Leads 116 Experts Calling for Outright Ban on Killer Robots

    Upper atmosphere testing of nukes was banned, and there has been no upper atmosphere nuke testing since. Aerosol CFCs were banned, and it has held on ever since. You are being sarcastic, but we can play that game.

    Deep Silver to Publish Shenmue III

    Shenmue 1 takes place completely in Japan, which is where the entire journey begins. Shenmue 2 and 3 are in China. Yu Suzuki is Japanese though along with his team and so is Sega, which produced first 2 parts to shenmue. Sega is not involved in 3rd game, but I'm sure they will get a portion of...

    Solar Power Will Kill Coal Faster Than You Think

    Ahh, I see your exact point now. By 'we', I was not referring to the coal industry or the government or energy company. Do you truly think I wouldn't know that it costs money to mine coal or to transport coal from point a to point b and for those costs to end up factored into overall cost? Yes...
