Add me to the list of people who haven't actively participated in the forums in years, but are nonetheless sad to hear that the main site is shutting down. :( I did still visit AnandTech somewhat regularly, to read the few new articles that got posted.
I've had exclusively AT&T "wireless home internet and phone" for a couple of years. I pay somewhere around $100/month for it, and there's a 500 GB cap, and I never come even remotely close to that. It's not great - I can't stream high-def videos in realtime... most of the time. But for...
It doesn't look like it is, except that perhaps they'll make a unit that will actually work, without nickle-and-diming the user to death. Since it's recording OTA television, that makes me wonder whether or not they'll store the recordings on-disk unencrypted - I'd venture to guess they will...
Many years after I made that post, I now know that I was correct. I have Myotonia Congenita, and both chlorine and cool temperatures are known to exacerbate symptoms; it's no surprise that I wasn't able to learn as a kid. I still want to learn how to swim sometime, but at least now I know it'll...
I have no idea who you have experience with in the US, but this nonsense is one of the reasons why I *HATE* the US and would rather move to some other country. I'm sure that it's everywhere - US, EU, etc - but seems to be the overwhelming majority of people here (US, Ohio).
Off of the top of...
This is the closest response posted thus far that seems reasonable to me.
I've been depressed and suicidal quite a few times. There's an overwhelming "literally nothing anywhere is ok" feeling. There's little-to-no reason to believe that improvement is possible (much less likely). It has...
No. The app simply has functionality built-in to let you download videos into an offline cache. You then use the app to watch those videos at your convenience, without the need for data connectivity.
There are other solutions available (in violation of TOS, but nonetheless) that let you...
I carried that particular one for a while, and eventually gave up on it. When I carried it in my back pocket, the loop that extends out a bit would protrude enough to either wear a hole in my pocket or in the back of my chair. And when I put it in a front pocket, it seemed to always be...
Oh, I'm sure. Advertising is also part of it, or at least at some point I read that it was going to be. They were going to use push notifications or some such to sell things like movie merchandise or a copy of the movie or the soundtrack or etc.
I did prepay for 1 year, but I didn't really expect them to survive for a full year. It fortunately doesn't take all that many visits to make the 1yr payment equal the retail ticket price that would otherwise have been incurred. (Assuming you truly did want to see those movies, and didn't go...
Some people simply don’t travel. No, you don’t have to taken action to prevent getting cash back (at least as far as I know, and in my experience), but consolidating points is a manual process.
My recommendation is much like the others here: find a primary care physician. For everything common, they'll be able to figure it out, or refer you to a specialist who can. If that fails, try again.
Also, this. I suspect that a lot of people would disregard the recommendation for the Mayo...
Indeed. It's pretty difficult to figure out what's best for any given person, even yourself. It sucked to figure out that what feels best often isn't.
I really wish that we could jump another 20-30 years into the future and see what else has been determined in the world of ergonomics and work...
Speaking of floor mats, anyone switching from sitting to adjustable or standing should also take care to not over-do it, particularly at first. If you have any pain anywhere after changing to standing up, return to sitting down and then stand up for shorter durations. I learned the hard way that...
Is that a permanently standing desk, or adjustable? Have any drawings/plans for it? I'm going to be moving soon and am contemplating having a desk (or at least just the top) built for me rather than buying a prefab piece of plastic.
Yup. I had everything either sitting on the desk or attached to the bottom of the desk, so that the only things that needed to provide for elevation change were a single power cord and a couple of ethernet cables.
Eliminating the need to go through all of that was among the main points of the Affordable Care Act / Obamacare, and an individual mandate is at the core of what makes it all work. Getting a group rate through a small company/organization would certainly be possible, but may very well be more...
I am not a lawyer, and you need to carefully review the terms of whatever insurance you'd be getting.
But as of right now, generally speaking, pre-existing conditions are irrelevant for health insurance purposes in the USA. So yes.
You might misunderstand "pre-existing condition". Once you have a plan, it's a condition, not pre-existing. Pre-existing conditions used to be important when there was a lapse in insurance; at the moment they aren't important (for health insurance). There's no way to guess what fresh ways our...
I suppose so. I've never had anyone be a dick like that. Though that may be a matter of situation, since my family has always had an extra vehicle that whomever could use. Though that hasn't happened often, and nobody's ever left the tank empty.
It's about an hour and a half to the nearest airport from my house, more or less. I've gone to and from the airport many times - at least several dozen times, perhaps more - dropping off or fetching other people. As has my brother. And anyone else who has had an occasion to have someone else...
I have an RX100 V, and absolutely love it. It's obviously not the quality of a DSLR, but when weight/size/carry-ability is paramount, IMO the RX100 line can't be beat.
Ditto. Starbucks card reloads, Subway, and a gas station are the only places near me that I've found will accept Apple Pay. The Kroger I go to doesn't. :(
Meanwhile most phones that support CDMA in the US now also support GSM, and most phones in the US that have GSM radios are equipped with LTE bands that are useful in many countries. (There are exceptions, but the old "US phones only work in the US, except for special worldphones" adage is no...
As others have pointed out, NBC plans to stream everything live. If you have problems with that though, you might try DirecTV NOW - I loathe DirecTV, but NOW has a trial period. (Or at least recently did and I assume they still do.)
Actually, most phone chargers (and laptop chargers and desktops) autoswitch between 120 and 240. So that's a poor example. But the label on the charger is the definitive answer. Many personal care products (razors, trimmers, curling irons, etc) and kitchen stuffs do not autoswitch.
There are standards - generally one (ish) per country, with neighboring countries tending to agree with one another. I'd be all in favor of converting those of us who use the antiquated 120v/60hz grid over to 240v/60hz, employing the same outlets as western Europe mainland (non-UK), but it'll...
