The hardest part to troubleshoot

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So what’s the one piece of tech that gives you most trouble when it comes to finding a solution? For me right now, it’s my home wireless router. I can’t seem to keep my connection for more than 30 minutes or so before it drops. I’ve tried changing channels, WEP settings, moving around the house, but I can’t seem to eliminate the dropped signal. It’s always had some problem with drops, but it’s just getting worse and worse lately. Maybe it’s just time to throw in the towel on this old SMC router and get something new?

    Maybe this will get those people who insist on keeping every email they’ve ever gotten to finally stop that practice.

  • Now that’s irritating

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    You know what really, really irritates me? When someone asks me for something and mentions how they need me to email it to them right away, and then I find that they don’t even check their email for it, and probably won’t actually need it for days. I may just have to re-institute a 2-3…
