What is best paper for color laser photo prints?

It's the Brother HL-3180CDW color laser printer. I didn't do much research when I purchased this except by word of mouth that it was a good printer at a reasonable price which was $228. The scanner is nice and fast too except for its limitation in size to 8.5 by 13 or so. It will scan directly...

You can't put up any warning signs because serious intruders would just take more precautions to get into your place -- wear masks, cover license plates, park down the street, shut down your power or destroy your cameras. In fact, destroying your cameras would be their first priority. Cameras...

Need keyboard for cell

I'm sick and tired of typing one paragraph messages which takes me 20 minutes to type because of one finger typing and also hitting wrong letters while just fractionally off-mark on the correct letter. Can anyone recommend an external keyboard that I can hook onto my cell.

What kind of drive is inside the external WD 8tb Easystore?

I just purchased a 8tb WD Easystore drive from Bestbuy when it was on sale last week. People are saying that the drive inside is much better than advertised. They say it is a 7200 rpm instead of a 5400 rpm drive and that it is a Red drive instead of a Black drive. The Red meaning that it has...

Space running out on my 1tb ssd how to expand!

Get the Zip compressor program and zip up and compress those games you are not using. You can probably save 50 percent in space doing that. There might be programs out there that compress files even more than that.
