    will more expensive WiFi get me a stronger 5.0 signal?

    Will a more expensive router be better? not necessarily. Use an app like Wifi Analyzer to check your actual RF signal strength throughout your home. Depends on how big your house is....how many walls, line of sight, etc. You can't just have a loud radio blasting and expect to clearly hear it on...

    i can't recover a windows 10 product key because literally nothing will open

    why do you need the product key. If you are reinstalling Windows 10, the computer should activate with a digital license based on the hardware configuration from the OEM. If this is a retail copy, well whoever's computer it is, should have that. If they have a microsoft account, the records...

    Disable Cortana but not search

    Right, because that makes so much sense to do for one computer, that already has a legal license of Windows. I just hide the Cortana icon and forget she's there lol. If cortana is using enough CPU that it's making your fans spin up, well I'd say you have more issues that go beyond Cortana...

    Processor performance improvements - more than just CPU speeds?

    My opinion is that you say she has a "Very old system". Yes by [H] standards it's a dinosaur, but there's already a SSD installed. Depending on her needs, possibly the CPU and RAM could be upgraded with the current system to get it more up to par. You'd have to qualify what you consider...

    YouTube TV and Hulu Are Outperforming the Competition

    Yes indeed....Future Man is fantastic. Hulu is worth it just for that. Been watching Hulu more than Netflix lately, but between the two there's more content than anyone could keep up with anyway.

    NYT Outlines Troubled U.S. Mac Pro Assembly

    That's exactly the point though. They could afford to do a lot of things. Any of the big US companies could. But then they wouldn't be as profitable. And they can't have that now, can they?

    Soulja Boy Is Back with a New Handheld, a Sony Vita Rip-Off

    For the inflated price at least put a Soulja Boy sticker or logo on there! His own website's description lists the item as: Package includes: 1 x MP5 Game Player No attempt at anything resembling him trying to make this something unique for his branding purposes...just utter blatant rip...

    Uber Car’s “Safety” Driver Streamed TV Show before Fatal Crash

    Sadly that about sums it up. Camera footage clearly shows the idiot drivers staring at her phone for several seconds (the article said I believe 5 seconds, which as well all know, might as well be a lifetime in terms of what can happen while driving.) Then at the last half second, looks up just...

    Underpaid and Exhausted: The Human Cost of Your Kindle

    You shouldn't need labor laws to have a decent working condition. It should just be common decency. With all these articles saying how bad the conditions are in China (and other third world countries) it sucks, but for every employee at Foxconn, as soon as someone quits or whatever, there are...

    Girl, 9, in Rehab after Getting So Addicted to Fortnite She Wet Herself

    I always feel bad for the kids and parents when I read articles like this. (But it makes me feel better about my parenting skills too lol.) I see this all the time with my job, going to people's houses and they have their kids, usually starting at literally like 1 year old, and each kid has a...

    Are Robot Overlords Susceptible to Alien Penetration

    Well it's a real video of course. and the object flying in the sky is certainly "unidentified". We need to stop calling them "UFO's" since that literally means anything not clearly marked. Love this quip from the article lol: "It's grainy, the zoom is hazy and out of focus, and, as usual...

    Amazon Increases Sales by 43% and They Should Thank AWS

    OMG what is the hate over raising the price of amazon prime? I think it's still a good value and worth it for the amazon video alone. Most monthly bills are at least 100 dollars, so what's 119 dollars for a whole year?

    Ford is Cutting Car Production Back to Just Mustang and Focus Active Models

    I get SUV's and trucks are popular, but to me, Ford has a few too many SUV's. You have the Escape, Edge, Explorer, Expedition, EcoSport, and the Flex. They used to also have the Excursion. I like the looks of all the SUV's mostly, but I don't see the point in having so many similar vehicles...
