Try the TP Link UB500 Plus (UPC 810142823098) - Excellent range; best performance achieved with a few feet of USB extension cable between the dongle and the computer.

However Bluetooth on Linux is indeed currently irritatingly borked when it does decide to not work. The UB500 is plug and play on Linux.


You're speaking the truth, as this is not nonsense - it is correct. At the micro level, thermal expansion/contracting is occurring across the variety of the circuit board materials and components. Hot is fine (not too hot), but it is the consistency that makes for longetivity.

I limit power consumption profiles and clock speeds unless higher power is required, and combine that with an oversized cooling system - keeps regular temps consistent.


Yeah that was my understanding as well. Basically it comes down to how much you are warping/straining the materials. It all seems rather intuitive to me but this is not my area of expertise and just because something makes sense doesn’t mean it’s correct lol

The attackers better hope they fully hid their tracks - this is a bold hack, and such an level of overt cybercriminality with financial damages will result in a decade in prison if caught.

I liked the coin bucket because there was a skill about how an efficient driver could toss the change into it without even stopping.

Seems like a mistake to rely on it for anything other than entertainment or simple education. Perhaps what makes it a mistake is now it's yet another vehicle for distraction content gaming for attention space. Parents will attest, that it's wonderful to put a tablet in front of a child to instantly hush them, but then it becomes a dependency where it is increasingly harder to control outbursts of emotion without resorting to the tablet. It's become a like a drug to children, and the mistake is in seeing the process as benevolent until this far along.

I disagree, shouldn't be used even for entertainment. Going to YouTube for entertainment and relying on it to guide you is how you end up being radicalised on certain topics.


Entertainment: Nothing wrong with watching the football game on it. Agree that certain other types of "entertainment" material on there is toxic.

Don't think I've ever done this. I reach under it, press the release button with one finger and with the adjacent finger grab the indentation under the card and slide it out. Card comes out in like two seconds.

Spares kept on hand with the base image is industry standard IT practice, and it even skips the Apple store. When the day rate is high enough to talk about it, they still have to result to ordering just in time.

We bought all of ours for the idea of not being glued to the Apple ecosystem, and that reality has provided the performance our group requires. Each unit is the top of the line i7 and they last all day - any further requirements for even faster processing is handled by the server farm upstream. Supposedly Apple knows best about performance and longetivity by enforcing clamshell mode for users that want to use only an externally connected display.

The latest version of the hinge is on the money.

Current prices of "for the public good" in New York City for passenger vehicles:

- Congestion charge - $9 per day on Ez-Pass

- Bridge toll - $10 to $15 per day
